Iron's Botany

[1.2.0] - 2026-03-26

Added

• Spell Reservoir right-click input — Right-click a Spell Reservoir with any Botania mana-holding item to transfer mana into it. Converts Botania mana to ISS mana at the configured ratio
• Comparator output for Spell Reservoir and Mana Conduit — signal strength proportional to stored mana fill level (0-15)
• Mana Conduit feeds adjacent Reservoirs — ManaConduit now transfers ISS mana into any SpellReservoir placed directly adjacent to it
• BotaniaIntegration utility — New centralized utility class for direct Botania API access, replacing fragile reflection
• DataKeys constants class — All 32 IronsBotany_* NBT key strings centralized into a single constants class
• Configurable block entity transfer rate — New blockEntityTransferRate config option controls ISS mana per second from Conduit/Reservoir to players (default 5, range 1-100)
• Config validation — Logs a warning at startup when SEPARATE mana mode is active, alerting to extreme dual-cost implications
• SpellContext damage cap — New capDamageMultiplier() method on SpellContext; total damage multiplier from all sources capped at 5.0x
• 22 language translations — Full localization for: Afrikaans, Arabic, Bengali, German, British English, Argentine Spanish, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (HK), Traditional Chinese (TW)

Fixed

• BotanicalRing was cosmetic-only — Tooltip claimed +25 Max Mana and +5% Spell Power but the ring applied zero attribute modifiers. Now properly implements Curios getAttributeModifiers with real stat bonuses
• FlowerShield gave free HP — Float-to-int truncation on shield damage meant fractional hits (e.g. 3.7 damage) only consumed 3 shield HP instead of 4. Fixed with Math.ceil()
• Stage 4 Mana Events were entirely non-functional — NBT tags written to Botania block entities were never read by anything. Disabled by default; applyWaterFill now uses direct ManaPool API (the one effect that can actually work)
• Duplicate reflection for compile-time API — Both ManaHelper and ManaConduitBlockEntity independently reflected on ManaPool when it's available at compile time. Replaced with direct instanceof ManaPool checks
• String-based Botania class detection — Replaced all getSimpleName().contains("Pool") / getName().startsWith("vazkii.botania") patterns with proper instanceof API checks via BotaniaIntegration
• ManaTransferPacket was dead code — Packet deserialized fields but handle() only played a sound. No code ever sent it. Removed entirely
• SpellReservoir had no way to receive mana — addMana() existed but nothing called it. Now reachable via right-click and adjacent ManaConduit feeding
• TerrasteelSpellBlade tooltip lied about mana cost — Tooltip said "-20% Mana Cost" but the attribute was COOLDOWN_REDUCTION. Corrected tooltip to "-20% Cooldown". Tooltip values now read from config dynamically
• Living Root Grasp Slowness 255 was absolute freeze — Reduced immobilize slowness from 255 (total paralysis, no counterplay) to 10 (~80% speed reduction, strong but breakable). Removed ineffective setDeltaMovement(Vec3.ZERO) call
• Runic Infusion buff stacking was unbounded — At level 10 with all 5 runes, Strength reached XI (+33 attack damage). Capped Strength at V, Speed at IV
• Mana Rebirth stripped ALL effects on revival — removeAllEffects() cleared beneficial effects too (Strength, Speed, Regen). Now only removes non-beneficial effects
• SchoolMigrationHandler only migrated inventory — Missed Ender Chest and Curios slots. Now migrates all three. Fixed lambda accumulation bug for Curios migration count
• Armor and weapons were unrepairable — Manasteel Wizard Armor and Terrasteel Spell Blade had Ingredient.EMPTY as repair material. Now repairable with Manasteel Ingots and Terrasteel Ingots respectively
• TerrasteelBladeHandler swallowed exceptions — catch (Exception ignored) silently discarded all mana operation failures. Now logs at debug level
• DreamwoodScepter tooltip was vague — "Converts ISS mana costs to Botania mana" now shows the actual configured percentage
• SpellManaNetworkIntegration had dead inner class — Duplicate ActiveModification class never used within the file. Removed
• Misplaced damage type JSON — data/irons_spellbooks/damage_type/nature_magic.json was at the project root, not in src/main/resources/data/. Moved to correct location so it's included in the built JAR
• Gaia's Wrath Botania mana costs were prohibitive — Reduced from 150,000 base + 50,000/level (600k at L10) to 80,000 base + 30,000/level (350k at L10)

Changed

• Non-Player entities can now cast botanical spells — Restructured AbstractBotanicalSpell.onCast() so executeBotanicalEffect() runs for any LivingEntity. Player-specific systems (catalysts, auras, Alfheim, advancements, mana checks) are conditional
• School migration: ironsbotany:botanical → irons_spellbooks:nature — Custom Botanical school removed in favor of ISS's built-in Nature school. SchoolMigrationHandler rewrites old references on login
• ENABLE_SPELL_MANA_EVENTS now defaults to false (Stage 4 marked experimental)
• 14 files updated to use DataKeys constants instead of inline string literals

Removed

• ManaTransferPacket.java (dead code)
• IBSchools.java (custom school replaced by ISS Nature school)
• Duplicate reflection code in ManaHelper and ManaConduitBlockEntity
• Dead ActiveModification inner class from SpellManaNetworkIntegration

[1.1.2] - 2026-03-25

Added

• Spell descriptions — All 9 Botanical spells now show descriptions in the spellbook and scroll tooltips via getUniqueInfo() override
• Device tooltips — Spell Reservoir and Mana Conduit blocks now display description tooltips when hovered in inventory
• Spell icon textures — 9 unique 16x16 spell icons at textures/gui/spell_icons/ (mana_bloom, botanical_burst, flower_shield, living_root_grasp, spark_swarm, runic_infusion, petal_storm, gaia_wrath, mana_rebirth)
• Botanical scroll texture — scroll_botanical.png and corresponding item model for the Botanical school's scroll appearance
• 10 new localization keys for spell descriptions and the Spell Reservoir tooltip

Fixed

• Removed broken custom texture references (book_texture, filler_texture, crafting_texture) from Patchouli book.json — the Chronicle of the Green Mage now uses Patchouli's built-in defaults instead of missing textures
