Materia Reborn 0.3B Update

This update introduces automatic Essence calculation for Vanilla and modded items, expands the custom Essence configuration system, improves particles and mod information, and fixes several issues with KeepInventory and Essence Ore drops.

Added

Automatic Essence Calculation — Mod Support 🎉

• Added optional automatic Essence-value calculation for Vanilla and modded items.

• Automatic calculation is disabled by default and is currently considered a work in progress.

• Supports crafting, furnace, cooking, and smithing recipes.

• Recipe chains and modded recipe ingredients are calculated automatically.

• Items are only calculated when every required ingredient already has a known Essence value.

• Ingredient tags and recipes with multiple choices use the cheapest valid option.

• Output amounts and crafting remainders, such as empty buckets, are included correctly.

• Generated items automatically receive:

  • A tier
  • A Materia Table level
  • An analysis requirement
  • A sell value
  • A purchase value

• Circular recipes, unsafe items, and stonecutting recipes are ignored.

• Manually configured values always override automatically calculated values.

Custom Essence Configuration

• Added config/materia_reborn/essence/Custom_Essence.json.
• Manual and automatically calculated items are stored separately.
• Automatically generated entries are saved across restarts.
• Custom and calculated items are fully integrated into the normal Essence catalogue.
• Existing Essence values can be edited without replacing their tier or analysis requirement.
