Major Progression Overhaul: Classic Multi-Step Upgrades

  • Restored the authentic 1.12.2 progressive upgrade mechanics. Upgrading your gear is no longer a single-click process per tier!
  • Scalable stats (Mining Speed, Attack Damage, Energy Capacity, Shield Capacity, etc.) now require multiple fusion crafts per tier to max out. For example, you must apply the Basic upgrade 3 times before the Altar will accept Wyvern modules.
  • Tooltips have been updated to dynamically display your current step within a tier (e.g., Wyvern (2/4) or Chaotic (5/5)).
  • The Fusion Crafting Core now strictly tracks your exact upgrade steps and provides clear, color-coded error messages if you try to skip a step or exceed a tier's limit.
  • Non-scalable utility modules (AOE, Flight, Step Assist, Junk Filter, etc.) remain as logical single-step upgrades.

New Feature: Classic Junk Filter Inventory

  • Since the modern module configuration GUI is entirely locked by this addon, the Junk Filter module has received a custom, old-school configuration method.
  • Simply Shift + Right-Click in the air with a tool containing the Junk Filter module to open a dedicated 9-slot inventory menu.
  • Any blocks or items placed into this filter inventory will be instantly and silently destroyed upon pickup in the world.
