⚙️ Create: Multiplanar Crafters - Changelog v0.1.10-beta

Welcome to Create: Multiplanar Crafters v0.1.10-beta! This release compiles a massive series of core improvements, spatial coordinate projection fixes, and premium visual rendering polishes built since our last public release (v0.1.3-beta).

Upgrading to v0.1.10-beta will give you a fully stable, production-ready horizontal crafting experience!

🚀 What's New in v0.1.10-beta (Since v0.1.3-beta)

🔮 Custom & Non-Symmetric Recipes Support (The Patrick Star Update)

• Flawless Spatial Coordinate Projection:
  • Bug fixed: Custom recipes involving non-symmetric shapes or tree-like structures (e.g. the Patrick Star flower) failed to match on horizontal grids because item coordinate offsets in the X/Z plane were rotated or mirrored.
  • Solution: The mod now projects relative world coordinates (world_dx and world_dz in the X/Z plane) onto the target block's local recipe grid axes using its specific HORIZONTAL_FACING direction (North, South, East, West). Item coordinates are now mathematically guaranteed to construct the exact shape required by the recipe, regardless of which way the grid is built.
• Block Rotation Tolerance:
  • Bug fixed: Create originally cut crafter connections if neighboring blocks did not share the exact same HORIZONTAL_FACING property.
  • Solution: Removed this restriction on horizontal grids. Since all horizontal crafters are already aligned on the same vertical floor (Y), this allows complex trees to function flawlessly even if individual blocks are rotated horizontally!

🎨 Premium Visage & Face-Up Rendering

• Pristine Local Z-Axis Rotation:
  • Bug fixed: Items rendered inside the crafter slots and the final crafted output item were face-down (mirrored and clipped underneath the top face of the block).
  • Solution: Intercepted and converted the original 180° local Y-axis rotation (which flipped flat-laid items upside down) into a 180° local Z-axis rotation. Items now render perfectly flat, face-up, and right-side up on the horizontal top face of the blocks!
• Item Centering Polishes: Corrected a -90° local rotation offset. Items are now perfectly centered inside their brass casings and face right-side up, rather than being offset towards the pointer or flipped backward.
• Flat Merging Animations: Solved the "helicopter items" bug! Item merging and sliding animations now slide perfectly flat across the horizontal plane for all block facings (North, South, East, West) instead of flying vertically in the air.
• Top-Face Crafting Particles: Re-aligned the crafting and item break particles (CRIT and item break effects) to spawn and disperse flat on the top face during the craft rather than on the vertical side of the block.
• Flywheel Compatibility: Registered custom horizontal transformation overlays to prevent item rendering glitches when Flywheel instance optimization is active.

💥 Physics & Item Ejections

• Collision-Free Item Ejection: Finished recipes pop out gently on the top face of the output crafter (Y + 1.15), completely avoiding physics block collisions and preventing items from being launched into the air by the physics engine.

⚙️ Horizontal Rotational Power (Core Feature)

• Kinetic Transmission (X/Z Axis): Rotational power is seamlessly transmitted bilaterally along the horizontal plane. You can easily power a flat crafting array directly with horizontal shafts and cogwheels without needing vertical redirection.
• Sky-Facing Orientation: Rotate the vanilla Mechanical Crafter using a wrench to face straight up towards the sky (lying flat on the floor)!
