Future Plans

- ~~Backport to older versions, all the way back to 1.17 as that was the Amethyst and Copper release.~~ - Support for all mod loaders 1.17-1.21: ~~Fabric~~, ~~Forge~~, ~~NeoForge~~ & Quilt - Backport to even older versions using different items (possibly gold & lapiz?) and changing the textures to them as well. (SPEEDOMETER CLASSIC) - Add a HUD mode (optional on-screen gauge) + keybind to toggle (client-only). - Add units toggle (m/s, blocks/sec, km/h, mph) and show numeric speed in tooltip/actionbar. - Add a config for scaling/cap (walking vs sprinting vs elytra), smoothing, and “max needle at X m/s”. - Support vehicles (minecart/boat/horse) and optionally show mount speed instead of player velocity. - Add sound/visual feedback (subtle click/tick at frame changes, optional). - Add enchant/upgrade ideas: “Overclocked” (higher cap). - Add redstone integration: a “Speed Monitor” block that outputs signal strength based on entity speed holding linked item. - Add compat hooks (optional): trinket slot support, Curios/Trinkets compatibility, and better vehicle speed via common - APIs when present. - Add translation keys + language files for proper tooltips and item group name. - Add data-driven frames so texture frame count and thresholds can be changed via resource packs/datapacks.
