OraxenNature

• Added a new default pack Naturalist, it requires the Oraxen Naturalist Pack.

Naturalist Pack adds 3 different new types of trees

• Thurnwood
• Sunroot
• Burb

and a flower called "Otello"

• New Packs Editor: Introduced a dedicated GUI for managing content packs.
• Improved Editor GUIs: Enhanced existing editors with better navigation and quick access to the new Packs Editor.
• Streamlined Commands: The main plugin command now directly opens the editor GUI.
• Expanded Compatibility: Updated for compatibility with Minecraft versions 1.20.5 through 1.21.7.
• Bug Fixes: Resolved compilation issues in the new GUI.

• Revamped Tree Generation:
  • Completely overhauled procedural tree generation for more natural and varied shapes (Oak, Pine).
  • Refined foliage placement for organic, less uniform canopies.
  • Simplified tree configuration with intuitive shape, height, and canopy options.
  • Introduced optional schematic support for custom tree designs, including in-schematic block replacements.
• Intelligent Ore & Block Spawning:
  • Enhanced block populator logic with optional per-biome chance multipliers for granular control over ore distribution.
  • Improved deepslate ore generation to ensure better visibility in caves (exposed ores).
  • Added success logs for block/ore placement for clearer feedback.
• Modular Content Packs:
  • Implemented a new 'packs' system, allowing modular configuration files within a dedicated packs directory.
  • Packs can now generically merge all top-level configuration sections (blocks, trees, growth configs, settings).
• Quality of Life & Automation:
  • Added a suppress_info_logs option in settings.yml to reduce console spam.
  • Fixed the version checker to correctly compare plugin versions with GitHub release tags (strips 'v' prefix).

1. Asynchronous Tree Generation:

   • Implemented TreeGenerationTask for batch processing of tree block placements.
   • Modified CustomTreePopulator to collect blocks and schedule this asynchronous task.
   • Added a configurable tree_generation_batch_size to settings.yml to control the rate of block placement.
   • Exposed settingsConfig in OraxenNature for the task to access configuration.

2. GitHub Version Checker:

   • Added an asynchronous version checking mechanism that runs on plugin startup.
   • Included the json-simple dependency for parsing JSON responses from the GitHub API.

3. Improved Block and Tree Populator Logic and GUI:

   • Added detailed debug logging to CustomBlockPopulator and CustomTreePopulator to provide more insight into block placement decisions and potential issues.
   • Updated the GUI for both block and tree populators to display actual Oraxen item icons instead of generic Minecraft blocks (like stone).
   • Implemented a surface material check for tree generation in CustomTreePopulator to ensure trees spawn on appropriate blocks (e.g., GRASS_BLOCK, DIRT, STONE) and not underground.
   • Refactored the CustomTree class to include a surfaceMaterials property, allowing for configurable surface types for tree spawning.

• Corrected an issue where the Editor GUI was not listing configurations due to pagination buttons being set up before items were loaded.

• Added "Create New" and "Delete" functionalities for editor GUIs.
• Implemented detailed views for configuration editing.
• Refactored ChatInputListener for reusability.
• Improved error handling and user feedback in GUIs.

• Improved startup and shutdown messages.
• More detailed and organized logging for loaded components.
• Fixed unnecessary warnings on plugin startup.

Added:

• in-game editor commands
  • /on set <config_file> <path> <value>: Sets a configuration value (e.g., /on set block_populator blocks.my_block.enabled true).
  • /on get <config_file> <path>: Gets a configuration value (e.g., /on get block_populator blocks.my_block.enabled).
  • /on debug <true|false>: Toggles debug mode for more verbose logging.
