Project Ages: Crafting Age Locks

Unlisted
For the Project Ages modpack: crafting and furnaces use the first recipe your age has unlocked, and Polymorph only offers unlocked recipes.

Project Ages: Crafting Age Locks

A small companion mod for the Project Ages modpack (NeoForge 1.21.1), where recipes unlock age by age with AStages.

What it fixes

When two mods have a recipe with the same pattern, the game uses whichever it finds first. If that one belongs to a later age, AStages blocks it, and you got nothing, even though the other recipe was already yours. Example: two iron ingots make Silent Gear's iron rod (Age I) or Immersive Engineering's (Age V); Immersive Engineering's came first, so nobody before Age V could make an iron rod.

With this mod:

  • Crafting (crafting table and the 2x2 grid, with FastWorkbench) uses the first recipe you have unlocked.
  • Furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers cook the first recipe unlocked for the player who placed them.
  • Polymorph only offers the recipes you have unlocked, so a locked result never shows in the grid, not even for a moment.

It applies to every player, Creative included, just like AStages' own locks.

Requirements

  • NeoForge 1.21.1
  • AStages
  • Optional: FastWorkbench, FastFurnace, Polymorph (it works with or without them)

Needed on the server (and in single player). Players joining a server don't need it.
