v0.1.6 - 2021.11.18

Happy 10th Birthday to all the Villagers and The End Dragon!

Today marks 10 years since Minecraft 1.0.0 was released on 2011.11.18, it introduced us to Villagers, added The End, and it's "Boss". Wattles did a great throwback video on it.

• Parser changes
  • support 0 length palette types in sub-chunks introduced with 1.17.30
  • reduce log noise related to data we don't actually use
  • fix crash when trying to output a player's reputation for a village
  • fix crash when village dwellers don't have a position set in the database
  • Housekeeping
    • removed options that don't actually work.
      • --blocklight and --skylight relied on data that is no longer written to the world database.
      • --grass color is largely driven by the Biome now, not a recorded value in the world database.
      • --check-spawnable depended on the light values above, which we no longer have, so it hasn't worked for a while.
• Viewer changes
  • removed display options for things that aren't generated any longer (see above.)
• Fixes in this release from:
  • Desterly
  • cabbey
