## Ice Boat Racing 1.20.1 Modrinth Notes
Welcome to the 1.20 update, now updated for boat racing! After a tough month of updating and reconfiguring the old (and new) mods, I can confidently release this for the public for events.
Note that these patch notes are reflecting from 1.1.1(-Quilt), not the testing builds.
### Patch notes:
- **The modpack now runs Quilt 0.19.1 as the modloader** instead of Fabric
- **BoatUtils has been modified to include both rally and BlindAttack** modes! You no longer need to swap it out manually.
- **Added OinkScoreboard** to increase the customizability of the scoreboard, most notably increasing the maximum length.
- **Added Lithium** to lower the chance of boatlag caused by server-side boat positions (indicated with lightning rods, you can still get lag when close to the rod)
- **Added Reese's Sodium Options** to make the graphics settings menu easier to navigate and provide more options
- **Added CameraUtils** to provide more possible third person camera options
- **Added ReplayMod** to record boat racing events, configured so it interpolates boats somewhat optimally
- **Added ViaFabricPlus** for older servers that haven't updated to 1.20.x
- **Temporarily removed MemoryLeakFix** to prevent a rare launch crash due to ViaFabricPlus
- **Swapped out Boosted Brightness with Gamma Utils (Fullbright)** to make the effects of brightening less tense on the eyes and more configurable by the user
- **Removed LazyDFU** thanks to Mojang optimizing the DataFixerUpper since 1.19.4
- **Removed AntiGhost** because it took up an unnecessary keybind
- **Removed Item Model Fix** because its impact was too little to justify the performance hit due to many boats possibly being on screen at once
### Minor changes & bugfixes:
- **Fixed a misconfiguration on the server list where FrostHex** had custom server resource packs disabled by default instead of prompting to download it
- **Added Symbol Chat** for funny reasons. It takes zero performance hit and you get to type in funny fonts!
- Reordered the preset server list
### Current experiments:
- **Swapped out Debugify for ModernFix**, as it provides more stable optimization for larger boat races. Debugify won't see a readdition as it and ModernFix clash with fixes.
- **BoatCam is still running a 1.19.1 version**, it could create instabilities but it seems to work fine for now, consider it experimental
- **VeryManyPlayers is currently running a development version**, so consider it experimental. I've chosen to continue running VMP because of the upcoming BlueCity Circuit event which will host a race with more than 50 people.
### Known Issues:
- **Simple Voice Chat is on 2.4.11 while all servers currently use 2.4.2**. It should be backwards compatible (apart from BoatLabs' BlindAttack subserver, which is on 2.3.8 and is fully incompatible).
- **FrostHex does not fully support the new BoatUtils yet** so any of those tracks are broken right now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
