Rework:

Completely reworked the Pokémon Editor screen.
The Pokémon Editor is revamped to use the same UI as the new NPC Editor. There are currently 2 pages, the first with 2 tabs, the 2nd inner page with 5 tabs. Most of the functionality is the same, as most of the changes are new features that allow for editing values of the Pokémon that could not previously be edited with the Pokémon Editor.
Using the Pokémon Editor opens up the **Pokémon Team** tab, with an additional tab as the PokéPaste tab.
Pokémon Team tab:
The function is supposed to be nearly identical to the first screen of the old Pokémon Editor.
Added 6 rows displaying the Pokémon's sprite (covers species, form, and palette), nickname, level, ability, and finally the sprite of its held item.
There is an button titled "Edit" allowing you to edit the individual Pokémon you select.
There is an button titled "Delete" allowing you to delete the Pokémon.
If no Pokémon exists in that slot the row will be empty except for a "Add" button to add a new Pokémon.
You can drag each row of Pokémon over another to swap their places.

NEW: Allows editing of whether the Pokémon is an egg, along with editing its Pokérus strain, and whether the Pokémon can be traded or can be bred.
Renders the Pokémon's sprite and the sprite of the Poké Ball it is in.
NEW: The "Re-Initialize" button has been added so that users can switch the species of the Pokémon without erasing changes made on any of the other tabs.
Pressing the "Re-Initialize" will re-roll the Pokémon's attributes to get values matching its species, form, and gender.
NEW: Hovering the cursor over the Pokémon's species will give the Pokédex description for that Pokémon.
Battle Tab:
Allows editing of the Pokémon's held item, ability, moves, and whether or not it has the Gigantamax Factor.
NEW: Allows editing the Pokémon's current HP, status condition, Dynamax Level, and the current and maximum PP of the Pokémon's moves.
Renders the sprite of the Pokémon's held item.
NEW: Hovering the cursor over the held item, ability, and moves will render a tooltip giving a description.
Stats Tab:
Allows editing of the Pokémon's Friendship, Nature, Effort Values (EVs), and Individual Values (IVs).
NEW: Allows editing of the Pokémon's Mint Nature, Hyper Trained IVs, and Hidden Power typing.
Renders a Silver Bottle Cap for the title of the column of Hyper Trained IV buttons. If all are Hyper Trained it is rendered as a Gold Bottle Cap.
Hovering the cursor over the "EVs", "IVs", Bottle Cap sprite, "Stats", Hidden Power Type image, and the stat names that the nature adjusts will render a tooltip.
Includes buttons to:
Reset the EVs of the Pokémon
Minimize, maximize, and randomize the Pokémon's IVs.
NEW: Displays the type that the Hidden Power attack would be if the Pokémon used the move in battle.
This also functions as the button to change the Hidden Power typing.
NEW: Renders the stats that the Nature increases and decreases.
Ribbons Tab:
NEW: Renders all the ribbons the Pokémon has and highlights the ribbon that the Pokémon is currently using for its title (e.g. Pikachu the Chosen One).
Hovering the cursor over each sprite will render a tooltip displaying the name of the ribbon.
NEW: Allows adding and removing ribbons by clicking the sprite of each ribbon.
NEW: The sprites of the ribbons scale with the size of the screen.
PokéPaste tab:
Allows editing a multi-line editor displaying all the Pokémon's values in the https://pokepast.es/ format.
Includes buttons to:
Reset any changes to the editor
Copy the text in the editor
Paste any text in the clipboard to the editor
Importing a single Pokémon to replace the current Pokémon with a link generated by PokéPaste.
Exporting the text in the text editor to https://pokepast.es/ so that it can be shared with others.

Spawning:

Wild Pokémon encounters after cooking curry now function as in the mainline games

Most Pokémon species can now be found via curry in their normal spawn biomes, though rarities have been adjusted from standard spawning values.
Costumed Pikachu now have a proper method of obtainment, with each form associated with a different curry flavor: Rockstar - Spicy Curry, Belle - Dry Curry, Popstar - Sweet Curry, Ph D. - Bitter Curry, and Libre - Sour Curry.
Several new config options related to curry spawning have been added
"curry-encounter-chance" - an array of values representing the chance of an encounter after cooking curry of each class. This is a 1/X chance
"curry-battle" - whether a curry encounter should start a battle. If false, the Pokémon will directly join the player's party instead.
"curry-nature-sync" - whether a curry encounter Pokémon's nature will match the flavor of the curry used to spawn it.
"curry-ball-ordered-types" - a list of PokeBall types that curry encounters can use if joining the party directly. Balls higher on this list will be used first if multiple are available.
"iv-boost" - whether higher rated curry will provide an IV boost to encountered Pokémon
"curry-rating-cutoffs" - the values used to determine different curry classes. The theoretical max is 173, though 150 is the highest reasonably expected.

Developer:

BREAKING CHANGE: removed Population Bomb move effect.
BREAKING CHANGE: Triple Kick move effect.
BREAKING CHANGE: Triple Axel move effect.
In a developer environment, toggling the hitbox visual can now be used without needing a 2nd TCG player.
Removed the deprecated methods for `getNickname` and `getDisplayName` that return a String.
Updated `getFormattedNickname`, and `getFormattedDisplayName` to `getNickname` and `getDisplayName`.
Updated all rendering to use components not Strings.
Added the `GimmighoulCoinRequirement` for PokeSpecs.
Added the `GimmighoulStats` to keep track of how many Gimmighoul Coins a Gimmighoul has amassed.
Adds the `InteractionGimmighoulCoins` which is what allows a Pokemon using the `GimmighoulCoinCondition` to evolve to be given Gimmighoul Coins.
Added a fullbright option to ShaderParameters.
Added terrastralization shader.
Added a `party` value to the NPC Builder.
Added a `party` balue to the NPCPreset.Builder.
Added a `uuid` option to the NPC Builder.
Added null checks in the NPC Builder methods to result in friendlier errors for developers.
Added the TeamSupplier interface and registry.
This is necessary because the Mojang registries load before our old-style Pixelmon ones therefore, when the Presets were attempting to load teams for the NPCs they were unable to parse them and validate them as the species data did not yet exist.
There are three types of TeamSupplier by default, `pixelmon:empty`* an empty team provided, `pixelmon:poke_paste`* takes a PokePaste URL and converts it into a team and `pixelmon:spec`* takes a list of specs and converts them into a team.
Added `EntityBattleParticipant` with a builder.
This means any entity (vanilla mobs included) can now be used to represent a trainer in battle
The builder allows you to modify how the participant will operate (ai mode, boss tier, etc).
Added the `BattleViewer` interface for entities/players that are watching a battle.
The spectator class now inherits the BattleViewer interface.
Added `BattleController#broadcastPacket` which sends a packet to all BattleViwers.
Added `BattleController#getBattleType`.
Added `BattleController#getSpectators`.
Added `BattleController#broadcastPacket`.
Added `BattleController#canSpawnEntity`.
Added `BattleController#postSpawnEntity`.
Changed the `spectator` field in the SpectateEvent (and sub-classes) to be private.
You can now access the player spectating a battle via `SpectateEvent#getSpectator`.
The `target` field in SpectateEvent.StartSpectate is now private.
You can access, and modify, the spectator's target using `SpectateEvent.StartSpectate#getTarget` and `SpectateEvent.StartSpectate#setTarget`.
Removed `ParticipantType` enum.
Replaced with the following methods:
`BattleParticipant#isWild`
`BattleParticipant#isPlayer`
`BattleParticipant#isTrainer`
`BattleParticipant#isRaid`
Simplified a lot of logic in the BattleParticipant classes.
All battle participants now have an entity through the BattleParticipant class
`BattleParticipant#entity` (protected variable).
The wait boolean has been made protected, and should be accessed via `BattleParticipant#waiting` and `BattleParticipant#setWait`.
Added a method to reduce duplicated code for clearing the movement properties of the BattleParticipant's entity.
`BattleParticipant#clearMovement`
Moved the `hasMovePokemonReserve` method implementation from the sub-classes to the BattleParticipant class (reducing code, and fixing some bugs where it was different in different implementations).
Added `BattleParticipant#isOnField` for checking if a PixelmonWrapper is on the battle field
Changed the method `startBattle` to `preBattleChecks` as this was causing some issues with trainer participants.
`startBattle` is now only overridden in the PlayerParticipant for sending the battle to the client to start it.
Added `BattleParticipant#releasePokemon` to spawn the pokemon for a PixelmonWrapper.
This should be how all Pokemon are spawned in battle as this has the checks for if the entity can spawn.
Moved the `switchPokemon` logic from the sub classes into BattleParticipant, again fixing some bugs and reducing duplicate code.
Changed `BattleParticipant#sendMessage` to `BattleParticipant#sendPacket` to make it clearer what that method is doing.
The AirSaver class has been changed to a single static registry and is no longer something you have to implement yourself where you want to use it.
To add an air saver to a player you now use `AirSaver#lock`.
To remove an air saver from a palyer you use `AirSaver#unlock`.
You can now start battles with players via the PlayerPartyStorage.
The following methods were added:
`PlayerPartyStorage#battle(ServerPlayer)`
`PlayerPartyStorage#battle(ServerPlayer, BattleType)`
`PlayerPartyStorage#battle(ServerPlayer, BattleRules)`
All of the above will start a battle between the owner of the storage and the player specified.
Added the `BooleanBattleProperty` class for easily creating simple battle boolean based battle properties.
Added the `spawn_entities` battle property.
This accepts true or false, and when set to false will prevent entities spawning for that battle.
The default is true.
Simplified the battle starting & spectating packets to be a single packet each.
Added `BattleController#spectate`.
Added `BattleController#removeSpectator`.
Fixed Pokédex method updating the value in the wrong Pokédex.
Added a `PartyStorage#getAll` that takes a Predicate.
Added checks to PartySelectionScreen API to make constructing it easier.
Added `RelearnerFactory#builder` for creating a relearner interaction.
Added `TutorFactory#builder` for creating a Move Tutor (or Transfer Tutor) interaction.
Adds `ShopFactory` and `ShopBuilder` API:
This allows you to utilise the shopkeeper/vending machine shop UI.
Refactored the `ShopkeeperEvent` to `ShopEvent` and now fires with the vending machine.
`ShopEvent` now has both `getBlockPos` and `getEntity` referring to either the block position of the vending machine, or the entity (most commonly NPC), the shop was opened from.
Both of which can be null as neither an entity, or a block, are required for opening a shop.
Added Precondition checks to the Dialogue Builder API to make for friendlier errors when forgetting specific calls.
Added `EmptyInteractionEvent` for creating interaction events that don't need to subscribe to any events but instead need to be called externally.
Changed the constant `EntityProperties#DEFAULT` to a function `EntityProperties#defaultProperties()` and added a child version `EntityProperties#defaultChildProperties()`.
Added `NPCPreset.Builder#noParty`.
Added overloads for `TextureProvider#resource` to make it less verbose to use.
Renamed getEffectiveTypes to modifyEffectiveTypes.
Added `Ability.ignoreStatusTypeImmunity`.
Added Ability flags to support various effects.
Added move flag ‘gravity’ for moves disabled by the Gravity global status.
Added `Pokemon#setToOppositeGender`.
Added `DropDownWidget#setMaxVisibleOptions`.
Added `Pokerus#setCured` and `Pokerus#setInfected`.
Added `Pokerus#getNameOfStrainWithInfected` that returns a component with the infected/cured status plus the strain of the Pokérus.
Pressing the F3 key with the Pokémon Editor open while in a Dev environment will render a cyan background where the GridLayout can place the widgets added to it along with a pink background to display the space taken up by the widget.
`UpdatePlayerPokemonPacket` now gets the Pokémon's slot via its UUID, instead of via the Pokémon object.
RibbonButtons will now use the widget's alpha, instead of always being fully visible.
Added `IVStore#isEveryStatHyperTrained`.
Added static functions `ResourceLocationHelper#getItemStackTextureLocation` and `ResourceLocationHelper#getItemTextureLocation`.
Added `Attack#getPP` and `Attack#setPP`.
Added `Attack#getPPLevel` and `Attack#setPPLevel`.
Created the `SliderWidget`, which extends ForgeSlider.
Added `ExtraStats#getValue` and `ExtraStats#setValue`.
Added `ExtraStats#getValueName`, which returns a component with a better name for the value of the Extra Stat.
Created the `PixelmonRendereringHelper` class for rendering the models of Pokémon.
Probably should include changes made to packets so that they work with the new screens too.
Added a static method `StatusType#getColor` that takes a StatusType as a parameter and returns the color of the Pokémon type (`Element#getColor`) most related to that status type.
Changed `PixelmonClientData#getHealthColor` to be static and take the current health and max health as parameters.
Changed `Pokemon#setMintNature` to not call `Pokemon#setNature`.

Added `Moves#getGenerationsTMTRTheImmutableAttackIsIn` to return a Component describing what generations a TM or TR exists in.
Added `StringHelper#buildStringForConsecutiveNumbers` that returns a sequence of numbers as a string in format "1-4, 6-7, 9-11, 13".

- Added a "hot key" tool bar, and removed the sprites on the bottom right of the screen:
  - The toolbar is now click-able rather than being just hot keys.
  - The toolbar will also tell you the hot key when you hover over it.
- Added multi-box view mode:
  - You can now view, and modify, 18 boxes at once.
  - Right-clicking a box picks it up, allowing for quick swapping of boxes.
  - Press TAB to enter this screen, or use the button in the tool bar.
  - Press TAB a second time to exit, or use the button in the tool bar again.
  - If you're holding a Pokemon and press TAB then you will still be holding that Pokemon (or multiple Pokemon) in the multi-select mode, allowing you to quickly move them from one box to another one.
  - If you use the arrow keys you can move around the boxes on the screen.
  - If you hold control and use the arrow keys you can move along 18 boxes.
- Added multi-select mode:
  - This mode allows you to pick up multiple Pokemon at a time by selecting an area in the box.
  - You can enter this by pressing the Q key, or using the button on the hot bar.
  - Pressing the Q key a second time will put you in held item mode.
  - Finally, pressing the Q key a third time will return you to standard interaction mode in the PC.
  - If you click and then drag you will select all the Pokemon in the area you create.
  - If you hold control and then click Pokemon it will select the individual pokemon you select.
  - Pressing control + a will select the whole box
- Added held item mode:
  - This mode allows you to quickly and easily move held items between Pokemon.
  - You can enter this by pressing the Q key twice, or using the button on the hotbar.
  - You exit this mode by pressing the Q key again.
  - Shift clicking a Pokemon wit a held item adds the item to inventory, if possible.
- Added an "Advanced Search" menu:
  - You can access this screen by pressing the S key, or using the search button on the hot bar, and then pressing the search button to the right of the search box.
  - This mode gives you some verbose filter options
- Added a "sort box" option:
  - This is not bound to a key by default but is accessible via the hotbar.
  - This allows you to sort the current box you're looking at by two types, Dex and Shiny (expandable via sidemod).
- Added the ability to undo operations in the PC:
  - You do this using the key bind: control + z.
- Added the ability to re-do operations in the PC:

Added first person POV in battles:
- Pressing "F1" during battle will toggle the visibility of the battle UI.
  - The toggleBattleUserInterface key cycles between 50% transparency of the background, 100% transparency of the background, showing only the HP of the Pokemon, and completely hiding the battle UI.
- Pressing "F5" during battle will toggle the battle perspective.
  - The toggleBattlePerspective key cycles between the 3rd person Battle Camera POV, 1st person Player Model's POV, and the 1st person POV of the Player's Pokemon.
    - The POV state is remembered after battles, so you can stay in 1st Person mode without having to keep re-enabling it.
- Pressing "R" allows the player to move freely outside of the battle while the Pokemon stay in the battle.
  - Attempting to retrieve the Pokemon that is in the battle will re-enter the player into the battle.
  - The player can send out other Pokemon, but they can't start another battle.
  - If the player gets beyond a maximum distance from the battle, the battle will end. The player and any teammates will be designated as having forfeited.
    - The default value is 30 blocks and can be set in the config with the max-distance-players-can-move-away-from-battles value.
    - 10 blocks before the player reaches that point, a message will pop up on the hotbar warning the player and a vignette will appear that fades the player's screen deeper into orange.
      - This setting can be edited in the config via the min-distance-before-warning-vignette value.
- Battles now have a Battle Rule that can deny allowing players to move about freely during a battle.
  - An On/Off button has been added to the Battle Rules menu to adjust this.

  - players-can-move-during-wild-battles for battle with at least 1 Wild Pokemon on a team (defaults to true)
  - players-can-move-during-trainer-battles for battle with at least 1 NPC Trainer on a team (defaults to true)
  - players-can-move-during-raid-battles for Max Raid Den battles (defaults to false)
- The buttons to activate the above features have been added as key binds to Minecraft's Controls->Key Binds menu so that the default key bind can be changed.

Click to view safeguards added against new POV battle mode

Added validation to the EV & IV text editor widgets so that you are no longer guessing as to what values you can and cannot put in there:
- This prevents any value that is not an integer in the EV/IV text boxes.
- This prevents any value not in the range 0 < x < 31 for the IV text boxes (sets text to red).
- This prevents any value not in the range 0 < x < 252 in the EV text boxes (sets text to red).
- It validates the EV value and if you've reached the max IV count (510) then it prevents input (sets text to red).
Changed the Camera item to no longer require Film to take pictures while in creative mode.
Updated battle logs to include the AI's top decisions on what action it'll take per turn recorded.

Developer:

Added PokemonStorage#open.
- This hides the track, and initialize, calls to simplify opening another player's PC.
- This will also retrieve all the Pokemon from the world for the player's party.
- This also means you don't need NetworkHelper calls in code anymore, or the OpenScreenPacket.
Added PokemonStorage#encode and PokemonStorage#decode.
- Used for sending the storage to the client.
Added PlayerCloseStorageEvent.
- This is called when the player closes a Storage UI on the client.
Added PlayerPartyStorage#getOpenStorage and PlayerPartyStorage#setOpenStorage.
- This dictates what storage the packets, sent by the player to the server, will interact with.
Removed PokemonStorage#getFile.
- This made no sense in this abstract class as it is possible to implement a storage adapter type for non-flatfile storage.
- I have added an interface FlatFileStorageSaveAdapter which has a function to convert the PokemonStorage to a File in the same way.
- Subsequently the methods to calculate the File location of a Storage are now found in NBTStorageSaveAdapter.
Removed public access to PokemonStorage#uuid.
- Changed to a getter PokemonStorage#getUniqueId.
Added StorageType registry and changed ClientStorageManager#storedPCs.
- The storage type contains data on how to construct the storage type from a UUID.
- This allows us to store more than just PCs in the client cache allowing for other types of UIs (such as a party view).
- The StorageType is not server side-mod capable as it is also required on the client.
- There is a getter for this in the Storage class which is PokemonStorage#getStorageType returning a ResourceLocation representing the key of the type in the registry.
Refactored the ClientInitializePCPacket to ClientInitializeStoragePacket.
- This is inline with the above mentioned changed for StorageType allowing us to initialize any storage from the server to the client's cache.
Added PokemonStorage#initialize.
- This sends the above packet, and means you don't have to make messy NetworkHelper calls anywhere anymore.
Removed StorageProxy#initializePCForPlayer and StorageManager#initializePCForPlayer.
- Both of the above have been replaced with the PokemonStorage#initialize method and are abstract from PCs specifically.
Changed PokemonStorage#shouldSendUpdates to be protected and added getters/setters for it.
Removed PokemonStorage#notifyListener.
- It appears this was initially intended as a refactor for PokemonStorage#notifyListeners to keep that function clean. Except it appears that it was mistaken and was used erroneously in a bunch of places.
- You should now only use PokemonStorage#notifyListeners.
Removed unused function PokemonStorage#doWithoutSendingUpdates.
Removed unused function PokemonStorage#retrieveAll.
- This only makes sense on the PartyStorage specifically and was lazily being used on the abstract level.
Added StorageProxy#invalidateCache and StorageManager#invalidateCache for removing a PokemonStorage from the cached storages.
- This is useful if you wish to:
  - Force a reload of an online player's file.
  - Remove the cached value of an offline player's storage.
Added PokemonStorage#track, PokemonStorage#untrack, PokemonStorage#isTracking, and PokemonStorage#trackingPlayers.
- These functions add the player given to the list of players tracking the storage's changes.
- This allows multiple people to view, and edit, a storage simultaneously inline with Minecraft's chests/containers.
- It is important to untrack the storage if you do not wish for the client to continue receiving updates after they are done with a PC that is not their own.
Added IStatStore#canSet.
Updated the default value of the No Crits battle rule to false/not present.
Updated new packets to add the ability of opening other player's PCs.
Added IStatStore#reset.
Registered all permissions through Forge.
Added PlayerHelper#registerPermission to bypass the unnecessary GatherPermissionsEvent.
BREAKING CHANGE: Deprecated HyperDrill move effect, which no longer works. Use "bypass" move flag instead.
Added EffectBase#canHitMultipleTargets to support moves that are conditionally single or multi-target.
Added ProtectVariation#canBeRemoved to allow new Protect variants to resist Feint.
Added ProtectVariation#protectVariationBlocksAttack to allow new Protect variations to filter what they block.
Added ProtectVariation#applyProtectionEffect to allow new Protect variations to add an effect when blocking attacks.
Added “bypass” move flag, for moves that cannot be stopped by Protect while targeting that Pokémon.

Optimization:

Improved SMD rendering:

- Removed isEmpty check for a cached boolean.
Improved game memory profile:
- Reduced some duplicate Strings caused by repeatedly creating a default value for every entity rather than using a constant.
- Reduced amount of garbage created (and so GC calls) by caching the hashCode for the ModelData class.
- Reduced the overhead of a lot of the SMD classes (although not by much) by changing places where List was used rather than a direct array.

Config:

Added a config option droppped-item-beams-enabled to disable the dropped item beam in graphics.yml.

Translation:

Updated Traditional Chinese translation.

Developer:

The Transform packet now uses entity UUIDs. It also no longer includes data for particles and instead includes data for gender.
Added new tests to make sure the spec requirements for ability, ball, cancrowned, generation, growth, nature, nickname, pokerus, and status all work.
Split a variable that handled cancelling the evolution and closing the Evolve Screen into two separate variables so that they can be done independently.
To align with moving to use the Pokemon class this deprecates:
- Evolution#doEvolution(PixelmonEntity, String) in favor of Evolution#doEvolution(Pokemon, String)
- Evolution#finishedEvolving(PixelmonEntity) in favor of Evolution#finishedEvolving(Pokemon)
- EvolutionQuery(PixelmonEntity, Evolution, String) in favor of EvolutionQuery(Pokemon, Evolution, String)
- EvolutionQuery(PixelmonEntity, Stats) in favor of EvolutionQuery(Pokemon, Stats)
- EvoCondition#passes(PixelmonEntity) in favor of EvoCondition#passes#(Pokemon)
Delay the spec validation until after the datapack files are loaded via Pixelmon.
- This means the spec error will likely appear when you attempt to evolve the custom Pokemon, or run commands such as the wiki command.
- This is likely the only way to do this as we cannot guarantee load order and with the new spec validation system the Pokemon has to exist for the species requirement, therefore we must delay the "get" call.
Added the ability to set and get the random seed used by battles.
- Added BattleRandomSource, an implementation of RandomSource which is supplied with another RandomSource implementation to use for battles.
- Allows setting of seed used in a given battle, and retrieval of the seed used by a battle, including if randomly determined.
- Added and changed a number of the random methods to be named better.
BREAKING CHANGE: Battles no longer use RandomHelper, except in cases where the BattleController isn't available yet, or cases of client-side only use.
BREAKING CHANGE: TickHandlerBase#onTick now returns a boolean value for whether the tick handler should be removed or not, changing from returning void.
Added improved BattleEndCause API.
- This allows for more specific/precise reasoning for when a battle is ended. Therefore, letting sidemod developers have a deeper level of control over what to do for different scenarios.
- Added registry PixelmonRegistry#battleEndCause.
Example of Custom Battle End

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = Pixelmon.MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class NewBattleCauses {

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onRegister(RegisterEvent event) {
        event.register(PixelmonRegistry.BATTLE_END_CAUSE_REGISTRY, helper -> {
            helper.register(BattleEndCause.FORFEIT.id(), BattleEndCause.FORFEIT);
        });
	}
}

Added a builder for requirements to allow for much easier creation of simplistic requirements.
- Obviously for more complicated requirements, such as the logical ones, it still requires a class.
- Example of custom requirement:

       PokemonSpecificationProxy.register(PokemonSpecificationProxy.requirementBuilder(Boolean.class)
               .aliases("isboss", "areyouaboss")
               .booleanParser()
               .dataMatcher((pokemon, aBoolean) -> false)
               .dataApplier((pokemon, aBoolean) -> {})
               .minecraftMatcher((pixelmonEntity, isBoss) -> pixelmonEntity.isBossPokemon())
               .minecraftApplier((pixelmonEntity, isBoss) -> pixelmonEntity.setBossTier(isBoss ? BossTierRegistry.getRandomBossTier() : BossTierRegistry.NOT_BOSS))
               .build());

Added method to BattleLog to search for and compare the ordering of two specific strings within battle messages.
Replaced method returns of type ArrayList with the generic List within BattleController and BattleParticipant.
Replaced various usages of Stream with enhanced-for within BattleController.
BREAKING CHANGE: Deprecated the old Dialogue API and the events.
BREAKING CHANGE: Refactored the "DialogueInputScreen" API to "DialogueFactory".
BREAKING CHANGE: Added a lot of options to the new Dialogue API:
- You can now add infinite buttons.
- Button interactions now have a response for seemless UI transitioning.
- You can now chose to hide or show the Minecraft UI behind the Dialogue UI.
- Buttons can now have a background color, and hover background color setting.
- Buttons can now have "accepted inputs" to where the button press will only be accepted when all the requirements are met.
  - When the accepted input requirements are not met buttons now have errors displayed for a short period of time.
- The input box can now have "accepted inputs" to change the characters the user can enter. For example, only allowing numbers entered.
- The maximum text input length can now be modified.
- You can use a Component for the default input text value (allowing for translation keys).
- You can now specify the button, and close, handlers directly on the Builders.
Added the method BattleBuilder#logResult which will force the log to be printed at the end of the battle.
Changed some resource locations to just use the already-created static values from Resources.java.
Removed ResourceLocations from images that were no longer used, were missing, or were redundant.
Removed several image files for UIs that are no longer used.
Removed old ReceivedModListEvent.java, which was not implemented anywhere.
