MagiChem

New Features

• Added the Amplifying Prism, the T4 reagent for the Circle of Power.
• Added the Coloring Cauldron, a T1 device that can be used to color items if you don't have the appropriate dye available.
• Added the Variegator, a T3 device that replaces the Coloring Cauldron. Uses dyes and/or Admixture of Color to color items. A core part of the reprocessing chain for the Amplifying Prism.
• The Sort Materia from Device task is improved if the construct has a Smart Head, a Caster Arm (in addition to the mandatory Fluid Nozzle), and is made of all T3 or greater materials. If all of these requirements are met, the construct will create shlorps that fly through the air instead of needing to physically move the materia back and forth.
• Added Glass Cutting Tools. Currently only used for reprocessing the Amplifying Prism, but other uses will be added in the future.
• Added Bleached Amethyst Shards, used to craft the Variegator. Can be made in the Coloring Cauldron with some effort or directly made in the Variegator.

Tweaks & Balance Changes

• Materia displays as a bottle in the Scroll Shelf.
• Renamed internal recipe types to be consistent with the player-facing names. This should only matter if you've made a datapack that adds or changes MagiChem recipes.
• Activating a cogwheel adds more torque; this should allow a single construct to operate a Centrifuge or Fusery without stuttering.
• Dyes now distill into Admixture of Color instead of Admixture of Change.
• Essentia of the House of Alchemy (Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, Rubedo) now distills at a higher rate than other materia to make the early game less painful. By default, it treats the device's Efficiency as half of the distance from the real Efficiency and 100% (for example, the Alembic's Efficiency is 30%, so Nigredo will distill at 65% Efficiency).
• Power Spikes deal high bonus damage if used as ammo for the Impulse spell.
• The Grand Distillery now has redstone control. While turned off, it will not draw power.
• The Grand Distillery now displays a warning if it has insufficient power.
• The Alchemical Nexus now displays a warning while waiting for academic slurry and while waiting for materia. This should make it clearer that the device needs something and isn't just stuck.

Bug Fixes

• Automated item insertion will no longer place items in the wrong slots of MagiChem devices. Inserting items with a burn time will still prioritize the fuel slot in the Distillery, this may be changed based on user feedback.
• The Ritual of the Balanced Scales will no longer accept jars or vessels that have contents as an ingredient.
• Added the missing 9th output slot in the Alembic.
• Alchemical Nexus no longer consumes 40x more Academic Slurry than listed on stage 2+ crafts.
• Depleted Focusing Catalyst no longer doubles in a Runeforge.
• Materia stacks in transit are now stored in a construct's NBT. This should prevent stacks from being voided when chunks are unloaded mid transfer.
• Added missing advancements for 0.4.0.
• The Circle of Fabrication now displays tooltips on the recipe selector and current recipe panel.
