Whiteout

Whiteout is an implementation of bug fixes and gameplay improvements from the Paper project, adapted to work with Fabric.

Fixed Issues

The mod includes numerous patches aimed at resolving various Minecraft bugs. Some fixes are enabled by default, while others require manual activation through the configuration file.

Main Fixes

Additional Fixes

Some patches are disabled by default and require activation through the .minecraft/configs/whiteout.properties file. This is because:

• The new behavior may not align with Mojang's intentions
• The fix circumvents the issue but doesn't fully resolve it
• The implementation may be technically imperfect and cause unforeseen problems
• The bug hasn't received official priority from Mojang

Planned Updates

Future versions plan to add fixes for:

• MC-33041: Server log issues during startup
• MC-92282: Incorrect copying of mob spawner data
• MC-121706: Skeleton and illusioner behavior during attacks
• MC-157395: Missing loot from small armor stands
• MC-235045: Issues with entity type tag suggestions
• MC-264285: Consumption of unbreakable flint and steel
• MC-264979: Errors during server installation

Not Planned Changes

Some known issues will not be fixed in Whiteout, including:

• MC-11193: Undefined redstone behavior
• MC-81098: Performance issues with redstone dust
• MC-210802: Sheep behavior with grass

Important Information

License

All bug fixes inherit the license from the Paper project - GPLv3. Although some Paper contributors chose the more permissive MIT license, the entire Whiteout project is released under GPLv3 for licensing simplification.

Compatibility

Developers make efforts to maintain compatibility with Lithium. Compatibility with other mods is not guaranteed, but issues can be reported. Compatibility with Sinytra Connector and similar projects is not supported.

Version Support

Deprecated versions of Minecraft will never be supported. The project was created for the developer's personal needs and published for those who require similar fixes in Fabric.
