Portables Beacons

A beacon you carry. Pick its effects, choose who they reach, and pay for them in fuel. Four tiers, three themed beacons, fourteen augments, and everything defined in datapacks.

What's new

Changelog

0.9.0 — first public build

Released as a beta: everything here works and is tested, but nobody outside the author has played it yet. Report anything odd on the issue tracker.

Added

  • Advancements: get a pack, fit an augment, then specialise or finish the ladder.
  • Fifteen languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese (BR), Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Ukrainian.
  • JEI plugin: augments are shown as the fifteen distinct items they are, and a fuel category lists what each burnable item is worth as runtime.
  • A key bind (B by default) that opens the pack you are carrying or wearing, without holding it.

Changed

  • The pack screen's side tabs are split across both edges — power and stats on the left, augments and fuel on the right — and open in place with a short animation instead of appearing as detached panels. One drawer per side can be open at a time.
  • A pack worn in a Curios slot now takes priority over one loose in the inventory.
  • Built against NeoForge 21.1.248.

Fixed

  • A pack worn as a Curio could not be opened at all: the key bind's request was discarded before it reached the code that opens the menu.
  • Two labels in the effect panel could run past the frame, and one was truncated to nonsense.

Unreleased

Added

  • Four Beacon Pack tiers projecting beacon effects from the inventory, configured through their own screen.
  • Seven augments: Range, Focus, Amplification, Efficiency, Capacity, Attunement and Discretion, one of each type per pack.
  • Three themed packs — Cinder, Void and Tidal — with effect pools drawn from effects the beacon never offered.
  • Fuel: items are consumed per second of projection, priced by a datapack registry and reported as remaining runtime rather than as points.
  • Four datapack registries (effect, augment, tier, fuel), so effects, augments, tiers and fuel values can all be retuned or extended without code.
  • Server config for fuel, aura reach, free coverage near a real beacon, and an optional requirement to stand near a lit beacon to reconfigure.
  • Optional Curios support: a pack worn in the charm slot works like one carried in the inventory. A pack in the inventory still wins if you carry both.

Fixed

  • A modified client could send a negative slot or value in a configuration action. Every existing check was an upper bound, so it reached List.set / List.remove and threw on the server thread.
