Horse Powered 3.11.0

Port of the 1.21.1 branch's 2.6.1 release into 26.1.

New Content

• Bottles can take fluid out of the Horse Press: glass bottles carry no fluid-handler capability, so the press never recognised one as a container and fluids that only have a bottled form (fruit juices and the like) could not be removed by hand at all. A new horsepowered:bottling recipe type covers that gap: right-clicking the press with a recipe's container drains its fluid from the output tank and hands back the filled item, and right-clicking with the filled item does the reverse, filling the input tank and returning the empty container.
• One bottling recipe ships by default: a glass bottle takes 250 mB of water from the press and becomes a water bottle. Press ice, snow, snowballs, or pointed dripstone for the water. Mods and packs add their own at data/<namespace>/recipe/bottling/<recipe>.json with container, fluid, result, and optional priority. Item components are respected, so potions and other data-carrying results work. See README.md for the full schema.
• New Bottling category in JEI listing every registered bottling recipe, with the Horse Press as its crafting station.

Recipe Viewer

• Trapping recipes now name the animal in text: the JEI Trapping panel only identified the catch through the spawn egg icon and its hover tooltip, which packs that hide creative items (AStages, GameStages, JEI blacklists) strip out. Each recipe now prints the animal's name as a heading line under the arrow, so the panel reads correctly with no spawn egg visible.
• New optional title field on horsepowered:trapping: overrides that heading. Accepts a translation key (resolved against the active language) or a plain string (shown as-is). Omit it and the entity's own name is used, so existing recipes and datapacks get the naming for free.
• Trapping panels find more spawn eggs: the panel showed a plain egg for any mob whose spawn egg the game could not resolve. It now falls back to an item named <namespace>:<entity_path>_spawn_egg before giving up.
• New optional icon field on horsepowered:trapping: an item ID for the panel's output slot, for mobs that have no spawn egg at all. Resolution order is icon, then the entity's registered spawn egg, then the conventional egg item ID, then a plain egg.

Bug Fixes

• Trapping recipes with an unresolvable entity no longer capture a pig: BuiltInRegistries.ENTITY_TYPE returns minecraft:pig rather than null for an unknown ID, so a recipe naming a mob whose mod was absent (or a typo'd ID) trapped a pig and wrote the bogus ID into the trap's NBT. The trap then went dead on reload: nothing rendered, and no loot ever rolled. Such recipes are now skipped outright, and a saved trap holding an unresolvable entity reports as empty instead of as a pig. The JEI Trapping panel was affected the same way and no longer shows a pig spawn egg for these recipes.

Such recipes are now skipped outright, and a saved trap holding an unresolvable entity reports as empty instead of as a pig. The two recipe viewers were affected the same way and no longer show a pig spawn egg for these recipes.
• Horse Press recipe no longer conflicts with the vanilla Chest (#21): the Press was crafted from eight planks in a ring, the exact shape and ingredient of the vanilla Chest. Two shaped recipes matching the same grid means only one can win, so a player laying out planks for a Chest could get a Press instead (or the reverse), depending on which recipe the game resolved first. The Press now takes a Piston in the middle slot: PPP / PIP / PPP, matching the recipe already used on the 26.1 branch. The Chest recipe is untouched.

Recipe Viewer

• Trapping recipes now name the animal in text (#19): the JEI and EMI Trapping panels only identified the catch through the spawn egg icon and its hover tooltip, which packs that hide creative items (AStages, GameStages, JEI blacklists) strip out. Each recipe now prints the animal's name as a heading line under the arrow, so the panel reads correctly with no spawn egg visible.

• Trapping panels find more spawn eggs (#18): the panel showed a plain egg for any mob whose spawn egg the game could not resolve. It now falls back to an item named <namespace>:<entity_path>_spawn_egg before giving up, which covers mods that register a custom egg item instead of extending the vanilla class.
• New optional icon field on horsepowered:trapping: an item ID for the panel's output slot, for mobs that have no spawn egg at all. Resolution order is icon, then the entity's registered spawn egg, then the conventional egg item ID, then a plain egg.

New Content

• Bottles can take fluid out of the Horse Press (#17): glass bottles carry no fluid-handler capability in NeoForge, so the press never recognised one as a container and fluids that only have a bottled form (fruit juices and the like) could not be removed by hand at all. A new horsepowered:bottling recipe type covers that gap: right-clicking the press with a recipe's container drains its fluid from the output tank and hands back the filled item, and right-clicking with the filled item does the reverse, filling the input tank and returning the empty container.

Horse Powered 1.7.0

Backport of the 1.21.1 branch's 2.6.1 release into 1.20.1.

Bug Fixes

• Modded spawn eggs now show in Trapping recipes (#18): the recipe panels looked the entity's spawn egg up through vanilla's SpawnEggItem.byId, which only knows about vanilla eggs. Any mob whose egg was registered through ForgeSpawnEggItem fell back to a plain egg. The lookup now goes through ForgeSpawnEggItem.fromEntityType, which checks Forge's registrations first. If that still finds nothing, an item named <namespace>:<entity_path>_spawn_egg is tried before giving up, which covers mods that register a custom egg item class.
• Trapping recipes with an unresolvable entity no longer capture a pig: BuiltInRegistries.ENTITY_TYPE returns minecraft:pig rather than null for an unknown ID, so a recipe naming a mob whose mod was absent (or a typo'd ID) trapped a pig and wrote the bogus ID into the trap's NBT.

Such recipes are now skipped outright, and a saved trap holding an unresolvable entity reports as empty instead of as a pig. The two recipe viewers were affected the same way and no longer show a pig spawn egg for these recipes.
• EMI's Trapping category had no name, showing its raw translation key. It now reads "Trapping".

Horse Powered 3.10.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could happen while watching a Drying Rack finish. As items neared the end of their drying time, the game could crash when trying to show the finished result.
• Fixed Horse Powered machines flooding the game log with messages when they were left holding an item with no matching recipe. Logs are quiet again.

Horse Powered 1.6.0

Gameplay Changes

• Animal Trap bait now drains over time (#14): captured animals consume bait to keep producing drops. Every 2.5-minute drop cycle rolls a chance to consume one bait, and the cycle pauses if the bait slot is empty. Hoppers can keep traps fed unattended; the bait slot accepts matching bait even after capture, but rejects anything that doesn't match the captured species.
• Bait consumption is per-recipe: every horsepowered:trapping recipe carries its own baitConsumed (boolean) and baitConsumeChance (0.01-100.0 percent) fields. All nine built-in recipes (cow, pig, sheep, chicken, rabbit, goat, mooshroom, strider, salmon) ship with baitConsumed: true and baitConsumeChance: 10.0, so one bait fuels roughly ten drops on average. Pack makers can dial each recipe independently. See README.md for the full schema.

Recipe Viewer

• JEI and EMI Trapping categories now show a Bait consumed line per recipe. Recipes that don't consume bait read Bait consumed: No; consuming recipes read Bait consumed: 10% Chance (or whatever percent the recipe declares). The category panel is one row taller to fit the new line.

Documentation

• README documents the horsepowered:trapping recipe type with a full example covering the new bait-consumption fields.
• Animal Trap GuideMe page describes the new ongoing-feeding behavior and lists the two new optional recipe fields under "Adding Custom Bait Recipes".

Documentation

• README documents the horsepowered:trapping recipe type with a full example covering the new bait-consumption fields.
• Animal Trap GuideMe page updated to describe the new ongoing-feeding behavior in-line with the rest of the usage steps.
• Trimmed every GuideMe page (Hand Grindstone, Horse Grindstone, Chopping Block, Horse Chopper, Horse Press, Horse Powered Generator, Granite Anvil, Drying Rack, Flint and Tinder, Horse Path & Speed, Work Saddle, Creative Battery) to a player-focused style: removed in-page recipe tables, internal-mechanism explanations, and datapack/JSON authoring sections. Recipe listings now point to JEI/EMI.

Horse Powered 3.9.1

Hotfix port of the 1.21.1 branch's 2.5.1 release into 26.1.

New Content

• Wooden Hopper art: new textures and Blockbench-authored models donated by emmen. Top, inside, outside, and new bottom textures, plus updated item art.
• Flint and Tinder art: donated by ArtpokeBR.

Gameplay Changes

• Flint and Tinder hold-to-use: must now be held like firing a bow before it lights anything. The bow-style animation plays and smoke drifts from the targeted block while the player holds right-click. After about two seconds the block is ignited, or campfires, candles, and TNT light directly. Releasing early cancels with no use spent. Durability lowered from 16 to 8 to compensate for the easier renewable supply via the Drying Rack's dead-bush recipe.

Bug Fixes

• Hand Grindstone hitbox shrunk to match the model: the old selection box was a single 14-tall cube that visually covered the side items and made them hard to click. Selection and collision now follow the visible geometry (a flat base plus the central stem). Turning the wheel only fires when right-clicking the stem itself, so clicking on a base side reliably extracts that side's slot even while the grindstone has work to do. Pickup quadrants on the base top are also enlarged from the old narrow strips to the full base quadrant.
• Horse Power Generator stone-tier requirement and charge persistence: the generator now sits in both the pickaxe and needs_stone_tool tags. Stored FE is attached to the dropped item as a BLOCK_ENTITY_DATA data component, and placing the item back restores the buffer. The horse, if any, is still released as a live entity with a lead, so charge moves with the block while the worker is freed.

Suggestion Implementation

• Path surface affects worker speed: every horse-powered block (Grindstone, Chopper, Press, Generator) now samples the 24 floor blocks under its circular path and averages a per-block speed multiplier. Faster paths produce recipes faster; slower paths slow them down. Defaults: dirt, grass, coarse dirt, and rooted dirt run at 0.5x; dirt path at 1.0x; packed ice at 2.0x. Anything not listed defaults to 1.0x. Multipliers and defaults are configurable in config/horsepowered-common.toml under [horse_path] via pathSpeedEntries and pathSpeedDefault.
• Working area now tolerates a few obstructions: chests, hoppers, gears, and other non-replaceable blocks can sit inside the 7x7 ring without invalidating the area. Default tolerance is 2 blocks, raise or lower it via [horse_path] pathObstructionTolerance (range 0 to 40). Levers remain always-allowed, and the floor sturdiness check is unchanged.

Documentation (GuideMe)

• New Horse Path & Speed page covering working area, obstruction tolerance, the speed multiplier defaults, and the config snippets for customizing both.
• New Flint and Tinder page covering the hold-to-use behavior, smoke feedback, retargeting during use, and the lowered durability.
• Each horse-powered machine page (Grindstone, Chopper, Press, Generator) now links to the Horse Path & Speed page, and the index Tips section calls out the new path mechanic.
• Generator guide updated to note that breaking and replacing the block preserves stored charge.
