v4.0.0 Version Bump:
Following the release of Minecraft 26.1, I have decided to better align Better Craftables and Better Unpackables to ensure consistency across both projects.

Previously, Better Unpackables v3.2.0 supported Minecraft 26.1 as well as 1.21.9 - 1.21.11, while Better Craftables only supported 26.1. To avoid this mismatch and potential confusion, this release removes support for those older Minecraft versions.

Both projects will now target the same Minecraft versions moving forward.

Changelog:
  • Bumped min supported pack format to 101
    • No longer compatible with Minecraft Java 1.21.9 - 1.21.11
Full changelog (same as above): https://modrinth.com/datapack/better-unpackables/version/v4.0.0

Compatibility:
  • Minecraft Java 26.1 - 26.1.2

The version number was bumped to fix some links in the mod version of the pack, but I have taken the opportunity to make some very small changes to the data pack version too. If you’re running v1.1.0 already, you don’t need to update to v1.1.1 as they are functionally identical.

Changelog:
  • Updated pack description from “Minecraft 1.21.2” to “Minecraft 1.21.2-1.21.3”
  • The latest compatible version of Minecraft is now listed in the pack file name
    • Example: BetterUnpackables_v1.1.1_mc1.21.3.zip
This version is compatible with Minecraft Java 1.21.2 - 1.21.3.
