Fabric Migration

Core gameplay systems have been rebuilt and adapted for the Fabric version of the mod.
This includes entity registration, renderers, networking, screens, keybinds, spawn blocks, sounds, textures, models, and server communication.

The Fabric version now supports the major gameplay systems previously developed in NeoForge, while improving stability and preparing the mod for future updates.

A new quest engine has been introduced.

Players may now interact with Quest Giver NPCs throughout the world.
Quest Givers can offer quests, track player progress, and respond to quest state changes from the server.

Quest progress is now synchronized with the website and restored when players log back in.
Accepted quests are loaded automatically when a player joins the world.

A new Quest Journal has been added. press the "O" key.

Players may now view accepted quests from the in-game menu.

The journal displays quest names, descriptions, Quest Giver information, and the date the quest was accepted.

Players may now quit accepted quests directly from the journal.
Quest state cleanup has been improved so abandoned quests no longer remain incorrectly attached to the player.

Escort quests have been introduced.

Players may now accept escort quests from wandering NPCs.
Escort NPCs will follow the player after the quest is accepted.

Players may only accept one escort quest at a time.
This prevents multiple escort NPCs from following the same player and avoids conflicting quest states.

Escort quest completion now properly handles rewards, quest cleanup, NPC removal, and journal updates.

Quest items now have improved handling.

Important quest items can return to the player if thrown or dropped outside the intended quest area.
This helps prevent players from accidentally losing required quest objects during active quests.

Quest messaging has been improved with restored narrative text, Fame and Karma messages, and clearer completion feedback.

Quest Giver NPCs have been added.
These NPCs support quest dialogue, quest acceptance, quest state checks, escort behavior, and overhead name display.
Quest Givers now use improved citizen-style models and profession-based textures to better match the visual style of Britannia.

NPC overhead labels have been cleaned up.

The black background above NPC names has been removed.

Wandering quest NPCs now display with clearer names such as “the wanderer.”

Additional safeguards have been added to prevent broken or invisible quest-related blocks.

Merchants and Trading

Trader and merchant systems have been migrated to Fabric.

Merchant screens, trading menus, catalog requests, purchase handling, and transaction responses have been rebuilt for the Fabric version.

Server-backed buying and selling behavior has been improved to better support resource traders and town merchants.

Architect, trader, and merchant interactions now work more reliably with the Fabric networking system.

New players now receive a starter kit when entering the world.

The starter kit includes:

Iron Sword
Wooden Shield
40 Cooked Steaks

This gives new players enough equipment and food to begin exploring Britannia safely.

Player account synchronization has been improved.

The mod now better supports website-linked player accounts, Minecraft UUID syncing, and login-time bootstrap data.

Accepted quests and player state are restored more reliably when joining the world.

A new in-game menu has been added.

Players may now open the menu using the O key.

The menu provides access to major player systems, including Skills and Quests.

The old standalone Skills keybind has been removed.
The menu can now be closed more naturally, including by clicking outside the active panel.

Quest screens have been added.

Quest dialogue, quest acceptance, quest completion, and quest journal views now use the updated Fabric UI system.

NPC profile images and quest presentation have been improved for a more polished experience.

The Ultima Online inspired font has been restored in the Fabric version.

Text rendering issues that caused characters to appear as boxes have been corrected.
The classic font is now used more consistently across menus, messages, NPC text, and quest-related UI.

Font sizing has also been increased slightly for improved readability.

Provocation has been improved.

More creatures can now be affected by Provocation, including supported vanilla animals and Britannia monsters.

Additional safeguards have been added so bard-related targeting and creature behavior work more reliably across different entity types.

Tool behavior has been improved in Adventure mode.

Britannia pickaxes now correctly interact with supported stone and ore blocks.
Two-handed axes now correctly interact with logs and leaves while retaining their intended weapon behavior.

This allows gathering tools to function more predictably without weakening city and adventure-mode protections.

House placement and management have been improved.

House placement previews have been corrected so players can better understand where a structure will appear before placing it.
House signs, ownership data, access settings, and private house behavior have been improved.

Players may now manage public and private house settings more reliably.
Redeeding behavior has also been improved so houses clean up correctly and return the appropriate deed state.

Teleportation systems have received stability improvements.

Moongate, carpet, dungeon, and world-edge teleportation behavior has been reviewed and made more consistent.
This helps reduce teleportation regressions and improves movement between linked world locations.

City and region behavior has also received additional debugging support to help verify player location and region state.

Many systems have been rebuilt, migrated, or stabilized as part of the move to Fabric.

This update includes improvements to networking, entity spawning, player login handling, quest synchronization, merchant screens, UI rendering, custom fonts, spawn blocks, tool behavior, housing, and overall gameplay stability.

Various bug fixes have been made to support the Fabric version and prepare UltimaCraft for future content updates.
