Essence & Industry 0.9.6

For Minecraft 26.1.2, NeoForge and Java 25.

Added

• ME Essence Pattern Manager for supported essence-only crafting recipes. Search recipes and enable or disable them individually.
• ME Bulk Item Storage Cell. Stores up to one trillion of one item variant. Configure it in AE2's Cell Workbench and use it in an existing ME Drive.
• Adamantite, Aeternium and Aurichalcum seeds for FTB Armory.
• Per-tier Keep amounts in the Essence Converter. Conversion and automated extraction preserve the selected stock.
• Recipes to upgrade existing Vitalized Farmland with target-tier essence.
• Support for Evolution's disabled Energized Steel, Niotic Crystal and Nitro Crystal crops. This can be disabled in the common configuration.

Changed

• Nitro Crystals now craft from eight Nitro Crystal Essence in a ring, producing twelve crystals. A Nether Star is no longer required. The pattern manager supports this recipe. The crop's crux requirement is unchanged.
• The Seed Library lists the best seed variants first and uses full stat names.
• Conflicting raw/ingot and dust/ingot recipes now use different layouts.
• Blocked pattern-manager output types no longer delay other types indefinitely.
• The Bulk Cell uses AE2's storage-cell artwork with a violet tint.

Fixed

• Tiered Growth Accelerators incorrectly requiring local buffer energy while connected to a powered ME network. Direct power still requires the full cost.
• Missing crop, seed, essence and genetics-tier tags for the new Armory crops.
• Search and Keep fields triggering inventory and gameplay keyboard shortcuts.
• Missing quartz textures on the pattern manager.

Existing registry IDs, stored items and settings are retained. Update the addon on the server and all clients. This is a beta release; client rendering and large multiplayer-server performance have not been fully validated.
