Equipment Interop I

Beta 14 adds an explicit item-state ownership boundary for cross-mod equipment while keeping the Beta 12 gameplay-data baseline frozen.

Highlights

• Added the item_state compatibility domain under the v3 compatibility-provider policy.

• Reforge candidates now begin from the original ItemStack and must preserve item identity.

• AA/Apotheosis-owned components may change during AA operations; pre-existing Minecraft- and third-party-owned components must remain value-equal.

• Unknown component owners are treated as foreign and preserved.

• Destructive candidates are rejected before they can become Apex offers.

• No reflection, optional-mod Java linkage, item-ID mega-list, or broad cross-mod mixin was introduced.

Equipment compatibility

Allthemodium

• Audited and qualified exact Allthemodium 3.1.0.

• Supported band is now [3.0.1,3.1.1); 3.1.1+ remains fail-closed pending a separate audit.

• Data-only category fallback remains in use; no Allthemodium Java linkage is added.

• Representative sword, pickaxe, and alloy trident items resolve to the expected Apotheosis categories.

Simply Swords

• Qualified Simply Swords 1.70.2-1.21.1.

• Native Apotheosis category behavior is retained rather than overridden by AA.

• The representative diamond_longsword preserved all nine pre-existing foreign/default components through the AA mutation fixture.

Silent Gear

• Qualified Silent Gear 4.1.5 with Silent Lib 10.6.0.

• Native Apotheosis category behavior is retained rather than overridden by AA.

• The representative Silent Gear axe preserved all eleven pre-existing foreign/default components through the AA mutation fixture.

Deferred / unchanged

• Tetra is not declared supported because no official Minecraft 1.21.1 artifact exists in the audited release line.

• Spartan Weaponry Unofficial retains its previously qualified data/category behavior.

• Epic Fight remains qualification-only unless a concrete AA defect requires an integration change.

Validation

All three focused target lanes passed real NeoForge server startup, AA runtime self-test, datapack reload, repeated self-test, and clean shutdown. The final runtime JAR also passed the clean offline build and independent JAR audit, again while better than Beta-13.0 it's still not comprehensive, and if you have a crash due to its compat (or lack thereof) feel free to let me know.
