Just a small one with a few fixes.

• Fixed some 'block broken' advancements to unlock before they should have
• EMI/REI now shows buttons & othe overenchanting star for enchantment upgrade recipes when one of the builtin alternate resource packs is enabled
• Improves some command lang files
• Fading food from Tropicraft

Spectrum NeoForge 1.12.3 for Minecraft 1.21.1

This update comes with loaaaads of under the hood changes to make mechanics more consistent and easier to maintain. Pastel Upgrading, Potion/Status Effect internals, Entity type creation, ink block internals, spawner manipulation recipes, upgrades, floatblock internals, ... I tested extensively, but I am sure I missed a thing or two. Please let me know if you find anything!

Builtin Resource Packs

Similar to the Fabric version, the Neo version now ships builtin Resource packs:

• Alternate Textures: the texture variants that were used during MC 1.20.1. Includes the Spectrum Style Amethyst
• Programmer Art: uuuhhhhh yeah. Please don't. I went through all blocks to make them as compatible as possible. Even the dev art Pigment Pedestal works almost perfectly fine now, despite its hitbox being a tad off (resource packs can't tweak hitboxes).

Recipe Format Changes (breaking changes for modpack creators!)

All Secret recipes now have a condition that makes the recipe show as normal, instead of their hints. For most recipes the trigger is crafting the recipe one (crafting a salty tart will make the 'salty' recipes show up, for example).

For the modpack makers out there, all of Spectrum's recipe types now support additional_recipe_viewer_results. Items/Blocks you add as reference there will make the recipes show up as results. Example: Pure Azurite for the Crystallarieum Growing recipe for Azurite (which gives you just a cluster, but its nice to be able to look that up).

The Fusion Shrine recipe format has changed: effects got grouped into effects, with start, during and finish properties. Specifying effects is now optional. Omitting them will play the default small explosion when finished crafting.

Improvements

• Gather Nodes now have two upgrade rings (up from 1)
• The Draconic Twinsword now comes preenchanted with Sweeping Edge V
• Potion Reagents are now able to apply color to Potions.
• The spectrum:block_broken advancement criterion can now test for all kinds of stuff, not just block states
• Reworked the Moonstone chiseled block models. They behave like pillars now, making them a lot more consistent to place
• Added config settings for Ink consumption of Constructor's & Exchanging staff. Setting those to 0 makes them free, removing any Ink checks & tooltips
• Centered the 'Secret Recipe!' texts in EMI & REI
• Made the fluid converting & Primordial Fire recipe displays bigger, so long hint text will not overflow
• Added the /spectrum force_enchant command, for when you really want to have something enchanted
• Having a fluid as output in a Crystallarieum recipe now shows up in recipe viewers with 'usage/recipes' lookups
• Data driven Pastel Node upgrades are a lot easier to create

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bottling decay blocks with one bottle in hand deleting both the bottle and the decay
• Fixed the Draconic Twinsword forgetting its attack damage and speed in certain cases
• The crystallarieum now actually allows with 0 ink recipes. Additives with a 0 ink cost multiplier will now make it work, too
• The Moonstone Temple structure in the DD Cities got its missing loot, armor stands, books & tree platforming location back that was missing since back in 1.19.2. Below the Colored Trees now properly is Blackslag, instead of Dirt
• Fixed a crash when using Night Salts / other sleep items

Gated Crafting Table Recipes

Added recipes with unlock conditions for the Crafting tables that EMI/REI show as not unlocked when not having a set advancement. The Paintbrush, Guidebook and basic Pedestal recipes only unlock after getting the first gemstone / spectrum resource. Many 'compacting'-style recipes, such as Pigment Blocks, Gemstone Blocks, Gemstone Powder Blocks, Pure Resource Blocks and more are now crafting table recipes.

The gating is purely visual - if you have the required ingredients at hand, the recipe will work, despite EMI/REI listing them as locked. But the unlock conditions are set to require having the items in the first place, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As a consequence, all blocks that support crafting recipes are now able to craft these basic recipes, which includes the Vanilla Crafter, Compacting Chest and Fabrication Chest.

Improvements

• The Crystallarieum now allows recipes that do not consume any Ink
• Added a mob effect tag for making effects always infinite when applied
• Rebalanced the Crystallarieum Additives for Azurite, Malachite, Bloodstone, Prismarine & Bismuth
• Improved the logic tool upgrade recipes handle components & enchantments (like when upgrading from Malachite to Glass Crest)
• Increased the base explosion power of Arcane Charges from 3 to 4
• Tilled Slush / Shale Clay growth boost/prevention now work with all modded crops respecting Neo crop growth events
• removed ~20 mixins and migrated them to events
• Pastel Upgrades are now data driven and can be tweaked & expanded!
• Removed Mental Presence. As a game mechanic it's kinda unfair to only be able to be defended against sleep effects when progressing Spectrum
• Made 'Another Roll' use a more performant mixin system and made that an attribute instead
• Treasure Hunter drops now scale with Another Roll
• Removed Tilled Slush/Shale Clay items to match vanilla Farmland
• Guidebook consistency: Block Placer & Breaker are now next to each other; the 'Filter' entry now uses a circle, matching other info entries
• Added all kinds of golden stuff to the piglin_loved item tag
• The Mermaids Gem advancement is now sorted directly under Spectrum root, since finding one starts the journey
• The gravity applied to players when having a lot of Stratine / Paltaeria in the inventory is now capped. The cap is still very high, but it will prevent issues when rejoining servers with large ping and dozens of stacks of Paltaeria in the inventory
• The Storm Stone potion reagent now increases the potions potency to II for brews that do not have any potency modifiers added
• Nephrite Blossom Leaves now bloom twice as fast
• Increased the duration of the Nightfalls Blade with Fatal slumber from 10s->30s. 10 seconds was wayyyyy to little to defend oneself
• The 'memory to head' recipe now lists that any mobs memory will do
• The guidebook now mentions that Kindlings have to be broken in for breeding

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the Crystallarieum sometimes stopping or continuing to use Ink & Additives when fully grown
• Fixed the Neolith potion reagent not turning the potion visibly black (the tooltip was correctly blurred)
• Fixed nectardew burgeon tooltip not listing its Eternal Slumber effect as infinite
• Fixed a leaf of the Pastel Omni nodes not having a texture
• Azure Dike data is not persisted across death anymore
• Fixed the Moonstuck Nectar 'increased drink speed' potion reagent not actually affecting drink speed
• Fixed the Nectar Lance rendering as Knotted Sword when blocking
• Fixed Crits not applying in many cases
• Fixed Spawners dropping XP when harvested with a Resonance tool
• Fixed the 'unlock alcoholic beverages' button not visibly updating when pressed until the page is refreshed
• Fixed the Moonstone Temple in the DD cities generating without Polished Amethyst blocks
• Fixed trims on Bedrock Armor looking weird by... simply not making Bedrock Armor trimmable anymore :P
• Fixed the Titration Barrel only returning a single Bottle instead of two when sealing it for the Freigeist recipe
• Fixed a dupe with Floatblocks
• Removed the broken 'gift wet lava sponge' advancement. Turns out there is a reason why vanilla removed 'Diamonds to you!'

Mod Compat

• Amaranth now fires Neo crop growth events, allowing other mods to influence how it grows
• Spelunkery / Dimensional Tears: Moved the dimensional tears compat recipes that were part of Speclunkery previously to the new mod
• Supplementaries: Added a workaround for Tinted Preservation Glass being unmovable by Pistons, locking players out of a Preservation Structure
• Spectral Decorations: Fixed recipe viewers potentially showing a cloaked feather as the item shown for the kindling_feathers item tag, when having feathers uncloaked, but not colored ones

Upgrade Advisory

• The Crystallarieum does not take ink items anymore. If you still have an Ink flask in there when you update it will get deleted.

Known Issues

• Pastel Ink nodes balance ink between blocks, but that is not indicated visually
• Pastel Nodes sometimes jitter
• The order of the Ink bars in the Cinderhearth can vary
• When enchanting, the XP particles do not rain down onto the item

Ink Changes

• Ink now evens out even between items & blocks (like Ink Flasks in the Color Picker)
  • that means you safely store as much ink in Flasks as you want. You can always put it back to fill your levellable trinkets, for example
• Hovering over Ink storing blocks using the Paintbrush now shows a UI with Ink data
• Ink storing items can now specify if constructs/players/noone can drain ink from them, or if they can be filled. This is a surprise tool that will help us later :eyes:
• The Crystallarieum does not take ink items anymore. Ink now has to be supplied to it via Ink Pastel Node. You will not have to click like 50 things into it anymore

Improvements

• Moved another bunch of mixins to events. Improves mod compat
• Added an spectrum:ink item sub predicate. You can now match advancements based on the amount of ink in your inventory or anywhere else. Existing advancements have been migrated to use it
• Added a config option for Ruin: Allow the creation of Deeper Down portals (default), stop it from spreading to the lowest layer of Bedrock in the overworld, or opening to the void when breaking it

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when viewing Enchantment Upgrade recipes in the guidebook
• Fixed items getting inserted into the Fusion Shrine unstacked in some cases

Mod Compat

• ImmediatelyFast: Fixed items with custom border highlighting not rendering. Thank you, RaphiMC!

Spectrum NeoForge 1.12.0 for Minecraft 1.21.1

Breaking Changes

• Preservation Chests / Item Bowls will forget which players interacted with them already
• Ink is now exposed via capability and its package got changed. This will break all mods integrating with Ink
• Pure Azurite/Malachite/Bloodstone block ids have been renamed. Craft them to items to prevent loosing yours
• The json format of Enchantment upgrade recipes changed. The wiki has been updated.
  • Now takes ingredients instead of individual items
  • Different levels now allow for individual ingredients (now possible example: low level: pigment; high level: pigment blocks)
• The json format of Crystallarieum recipes changed.
  • "fluid_medium" is now "fluid" to match the other recipe types
  • "catalysts" are now "additives", since they are usually consumed. The wiki and ingame text has been updated.

Known Issues

• Pastel Ink nodes balance ink between blocks, but that is not indicated visually
• Pastel Nodes sometimes jitter

Fluid Revamp

Mud/Sludge has been removed. It never really found its place in the mod and was merely useful for some dipping recipes & getting renewable Dirt. Added Cauldrons for all fluids. Man, that was a real pita. Fluid dripping via Dripstone works, too! You can adjust the speed / disable it in the config. Revamped the colors of all fluids, including their submerged overlays, to be more expressive

Quitoxic Reeds now grow in Dragonrot and can now convert the block they are growing on. Depending where they grow in they now turn clay/mud into different materials. Sneakily added a way to get Failing/the Cinderhearth without ever visiting the Nether - take that, dimension-locking servers.

Pastel Network Expansion

Pastel Networks have been reworked to support arbitrary resources. Added the Ink Node! Connecting blocks that store Ink will even it out between all connected blocks in the network. Finding Mermaids Gems now unlock Fluid Nodes! They work exactly like their item counterparts, having provider, sender, storage and gather variants. Moonstone tier unlocks Omni nodes! These combine item, fluid and ink transfer all in one

Refactoring

A sizable amount of time this update was invested in refactoring and code cleanliness. Over the years that Spectrum has been in existence legacy code, similar but not identical strands of code and special cases have accumulated, and these have now been tidied up. There's still room for improvement here and there (particularly around the multiblocks that use item bowls), but it’s already making a big difference and will simplify future updates and ports. Also ran static code analysis (Qodana) across the whole codebase, resulting in lots of fixes, performance & code tidiness improvements all around the board, way too many to list here.
