AutoEMC 1.12.2 Lite - Changelog

1.12.2 Lite Release Candidate Notes

Status: Beta / Release Candidate, not final stable yet.

This build is a rewrite for Minecraft Forge 1.12.2, not a direct mechanical port from the newer AutoEMC codebase. The 1.12.2 API does not support modern systems such as Brigadier commands, ForgeConfigSpec, Forge item tags, DataComponents, or Smithing Table recipes.

---

v1.0.0-lite-initial

Added

• Forge 1.12.2 project structure.
• Classic mcmod.info metadata support.
• Old-style Forge .cfg configuration.
• /autoemc rescan command using 1.12.2 CommandBase.
• ProjectE custom_emc.json writer.
• 1.12.2 ProjectE item id format:
  • modid:item|meta
• Crafting recipe EMC solving.
• Furnace recipe EMC solving.
• Flat fallback EMC for unsolved items.
• OreDictionary fallback support.
• AutoEMC-generated entry tracking:
  • config/autoemc/generated_entries.json
• Dedicated debug log:
  • config/autoemc/autoemc-debug.log

Notes

• This version was intentionally built as a lightweight test version.
• Smithing, modern Forge tags, NBT/DataComponents, and Brigadier were not included because they are not 1.12.2 systems.

---

v1.0.0-lite-info-fixed

Fixed

• Replaced barebones mcmod.info with a proper 1.12.2 metadata file.
• Added better mod description, credits, authorship, Minecraft version, Forge dependency, and ProjectE load-after dependency.
• Rebuilt the zip to preserve the full source tree.

---

v1.0.0-lite-worldload-fixed

Added

• Automatic scan on server/world load.
• WorldEvent.Load hook.
• Delayed startup scan on server tick so recipes, ProjectE, and OreDictionary have time to initialize.

Added config

B:scanOnWorldLoad=true
I:startupScanDelayTicks=100

Changed

• Server-start event now queues the scan instead of running immediately.

Behavior

• First server/world load scans automatically.
• If item registry is unchanged, AutoEMC skips the scan.
• /autoemc rescan still forces a manual scan.
• alwaysRescan=true can force scanning every launch.

---

v1.0.0-lite-better-emc

Added

• Manual item EMC overrides.
• Exact OreDictionary EMC values.
• OreDictionary material baseline values.
• OreDictionary form multipliers.
• Blacklist support.
• Tier keyword value floors.

Added config examples

S:manualValues <
    draconicevolution:draconic_core|0=1000000
    draconicevolution:wyvern_core|0=4000000
>

S:oreDictionaryMaterialValues <
    copper=128
    tin=128
    silver=256
    platinum=2048
>

S:oreDictionaryFormMultipliers <
    ingot=1.0
    dust=1.0
    ore=2.0
    nugget=0.111111
    block=9.0
    gear=4.0
>

S:tierKeywordValues <
    creative=9000000000000000
    infinity=1000000000000000
    chaotic=1000000000000
    draconic=1000000000
    wyvern=100000000
>

Changed

Pricing order became:

1. Skip blacklisted items.
2. Use manual item value if configured.
3. Preserve existing ProjectE/manual values.
4. Solve crafting/furnace recipes.
5. Apply tier keyword floor.
6. Use exact OreDictionary value.
7. Use OreDictionary material × form multiplier.
8. Use old simple OreDictionary fallback.
9. Use rarity/stack/durability fallback.

v1.0.0-lite-release-safety

Added

• Stronger ProjectE value protection.
• Default ProjectE namespace blacklist.
• Dry-run mode.
• Scan report generation.
• Improved odd-name material parsing.

Added config

B:neverOverwriteProjectEValues=true
B:dryRun=false
B:writeReport=true
I:reportLimit=500

Added default blacklist

S:blacklist <
    projecte:*
>

Changed

• If ProjectE already reports EMC greater than 0, AutoEMC will not generate, lower, raise, or replace that value.
• ProjectE-owned items are blocked from AutoEMC generation by default.
• Improved fallback parsing for names like:
  • highyieldgoldore
  • highyieldplatore
  • highyieldcaluminumore
  • platinumoremoreore
  • netherite_ingot
  • netherite_scrap
  • ancient_debris

Added material aliases

• plat -> platinum
• caluminum -> aluminum
• aluminium -> aluminum

Added better defaults

ingotNetherite=8192
scrapNetherite=2048
oreNetherite=4096
blockNetherite=73728
ancientDebris=4096
netherite=8192

Added report output

config/autoemc/autoemc-report.txt

The report includes:

• Write/dry-run mode.
• Changed entry count.
• Recipe-solved count.
• Fallback-solved count.
• ProjectE-protected count.
• Generated candidate values.

---

v1.0.0-lite-recipe-floor

Added

• Recipe output floor enforcement.

Added config

B:enforceRecipeOutputFloor=true
I:maxRecipeFloorPasses=10

Behavior

After fallback assigns values, AutoEMC checks recipes again.

If an AutoEMC-generated recipe output is cheaper than the total EMC of its ingredients, AutoEMC raises the output value.

Example:

9 ingots = 81 EMC total
block currently = 3 EMC
AutoEMC raises block to at least 81 EMC

Safety rules

• Does not change ProjectE-protected values.
• Does not change manualValues.
• Does not lower any value.
• Skips self-referential recipes.
• Runs multiple passes so raised components can raise downstream outputs.
• Report includes:

Recipe floors raised: X

Test observation

The latest scan showed:

• 860 item stacks scanned.
• 816 usable crafting/furnace recipes loaded.
• 21 values solved from recipes.
• 148 values solved from fallback.
• 40 values raised by recipe-floor passes.
• 678 ProjectE-protected values.
• 169 entries written/updated.
• Scan completed in 33 ms.

---

Current release status

Ready for

• Closed beta.
• Public beta with warning.
• Modpack testing.
• User feedback on generated EMC balance.

Not yet ideal for stable release

One important cleanup behavior is still needed.

Remaining release blocker

When an item becomes blacklisted or ProjectE-protected after a previous AutoEMC run, AutoEMC should remove its stale AutoEMC-generated entry from:

config/ProjectE/custom_emc.json
config/autoemc/generated_entries.json

This is needed because old bad entries can remain after the safety rules are added.

Examples seen in existing generated output:

projecte:item.pe_lens_explosive|0 = 8
projecte:item.pe_randomizer|0 = 8
minecraft:barrier|0 = 8
minecraft:bedrock|0 = 8
minecraft:structure_void|0 = 8
minecraft:end_portal_frame|0 = 8
minecraft:mob_spawner|0 = 8

Recommended next version

v1.0.0-lite-stale-entry-cleanup

Required changes:

• Remove AutoEMC-owned entries that now match the blacklist.
• Remove AutoEMC-owned entries that ProjectE now protects.
• Remove AutoEMC-owned entries for ProjectE namespace by default.
• Log all removals in autoemc-report.txt.
• Keep user/manual entries untouched.

Suggested public beta warning

AutoEMC 1.12.2 Lite is experimental. Back up config/ProjectE/custom_emc.json before use. This mod generates EMC values automatically from recipes, furnace recipes, OreDictionary data, and fallback rules. Some values may require pack-author tuning through the config.
