What's new

[1.6.0] - 2026-07-06 — Culinary layer, Starcatcher & Overgeared compatibility

Added — culinary/agriculture integration layer (Farmer's Delight addons + Let's Do series)

The farmersdelight-only FarmersDelightIntegration was generalized into a namespace-driven CulinaryIntegration. Food is detected as "registry namespace ∈ culinaryIntegrationNamespaces AND the item is edible" — no per-item lists, no upstream API imports. Default namespaces (verified against upstream mods.toml, not display names): farmersdelight, dungeonsdelight, fruitsdelight, rusticdelight, vintagedelight, brewinandchewin, plus the Let's Do series (vinery, bakery, brewery, candlelight, meadow, farm_and_charm, beachparty, herbalbrews).

  • Master Chef is unchanged in id/config/save data but its food-effect duration boost now covers every configured culinary namespace (toggle: culinaryEnableFoodEffectBoost). Culinary Expert's saturation bonus was generalized the same way. With enableCulinaryIntegration off, both fall back to Farmer's Delight-only (pre-1.6.0 behavior).
  • New perks: Green Thumb (Wisdom 8) — bonemeal has a 15% chance to trigger one extra growth attempt on any bonemealable block (vanilla, FD and Let's Do crops alike; event-driven, no random-tick or world-scan cost). Nourishing Meal (Wisdom 10) — culinary meals grant 20% of their saturation again as a bonus (capped at the food level, per vanilla rules). Comfort Food (Constitution 12) — culinary meals have a 25% chance to clear one harmful effect.
  • Item locks: generic namespace lock providers for dungeonsdelight (base 6), fruitsdelight/rusticdelight/vintagedelight/brewinandchewin (base 4) and the Let's Do namespaces (base 5). Only gear-like items (knives, tools, armor) classify — ordinary food, crops, seeds, ingredients and decoration are never locked.

Added — Starcatcher integration (fishing minigame)

Forge-only: Starcatcher posts vanilla ItemFishedEvent for every successful catch and its treasure loot table is addressable by id, so no Starcatcher classes are referenced (enableStarcatcherIntegration master toggle; verified against Starcatcher 2.3, Forge 1.20.1).

  • Angler's Luck (Fortune 12) — successful Starcatcher catches have a 7% chance to grant one additive bonus roll of starcatcher:gameplay/fishing/treasure. Never mutates or duplicates the catch itself, and only fires on a legitimate catch, so Starcatcher's biome/weather/daytime restrictions have already applied.
  • Catch of the Day (Fortune 8) — the first Starcatcher catch each Minecraft day grants Luck for 60s. Angler's Insight (Dexterity 10) — +3 XP per Starcatcher catch.
  • Item locks via a bespoke provider (LockGen's rod keyword means MAGIC, so generic keyword classification would have misfiled fishing rods): rods → Fortune 8 / Dexterity 6, reusable hooks/bobbers → Fortune 6. Bait, fish, bottles, trophies and the tackle box stay unlocked.
  • Not implemented (no safe upstream hook): steady_hand-style minigame difficulty changes (difficulty is data-driven FishProperties consumed internally) and tackle_master-style bait preservation (bait consumption is an internal rod data write with no event). Catches routed through Starcatcher's vanilla-loot path carry no starcatcher-namespaced drop and are not boosted.

Added — Overgeared integration (realistic forging)

Forge-only: Overgeared fires vanilla ItemCraftedEvent when a forged result is taken from its smithing anvils, stores forging quality as the item-NBT string ForgingQuality (stats are derived from it dynamically), and its alloy/nether-alloy/cast furnaces use vanilla FurnaceResultSlot (→ ItemSmeltedEvent). No Overgeared classes are referenced (enableOvergearedIntegration master toggle; verified against Overgeared 1.6.x, Forge 1.20.1).

  • Steady Hammer (Tinkering 12) — 15% chance a Poorly Forged result is salvaged to Well Forged.
  • Blueprint Savant (Tinkering 14) — 25% chance the blueprint used in a forging gains one bonus point of Uses progress (level-up itself stays with Overgeared's own >= usesToLevel check).
  • Metallurgist (Tinkering 18) — 10% chance of one bonus output item when taking Overgeared alloy/cast smelting results (same bonus-copy idiom as the crafting perks; dupe-safe on quick-move).
  • Master Smith (Tinkering 24) — 10% chance a forged result comes out one quality tier higher, hard-capped at Perfectly Forged — Masterwork remains exclusive to Overgeared's own reward path.
  • Item locks via a bespoke provider: smithing hammers → Tinkering 8 / Strength 6, tongs → Tinkering 8, blueprints → Tinkering 6; finished gear falls through to generic classification with a material-tiered base (copper 6 → iron 8 → steel 12 → netherite 16). Crafting components (*_head, *_blade, plates, casts, heated ingots, arrows) are explicitly never locked.
  • Not implemented (no safe upstream hook): forging-minigame tolerance changes (client-side static state), failure-roll reduction and fuel/input preservation (internal to block entities).

Changed

  • FarmersDelightIntegration was removed; its registration line and the five perk gates that referenced it now go through CulinaryIntegration.isAnyLoaded(). Master Chef and Culinary Expert behavior for Farmer's Delight food is byte-for-byte equivalent.
  • New config fields (all in runicskills.common.json5): enableCulinaryIntegration, culinaryEnableFoodEffectBoost, culinaryIntegrationNamespaces, enableStarcatcherIntegration, enableOvergearedIntegration, plus <perk>RequiredLevel / effect-value fields for all ten new perks (required level -1 disables a perk, as everywhere else).
  • New pure-logic tests: culinary namespace matching, forging-quality tier math, and Starcatcher / Overgeared lock classification rules.

Fixed — skill level-up could spend more XP than the player had

With a low skillLevelUpCostMultiplier (e.g. 0.1) a level-up could deduct more experience than the player actually owned, driving XP negative (symptom: after gaining XP the bar reset to 0 then climbed normally). Root cause: the server affordability gate in SkillLevelUpSP was an OR across two different currencies — XP points OR XP levels — while the deduction always removed points. A player with enough displayed levels but too few points passed the check and was charged the full point cost. The client button mirrored the same bypass, so it even lit green.

  • XP points are now the single authoritative currency. Affordability is a single points comparison (SkillLevelUpMath.canAfford against the player's derived spendable balance) shared by the server validation and the client button/tooltip, so they can never diverge. The alternate "enough experience levels" branch (and requiredExperienceLevels) is gone.
  • XP deduction is now clamped and consistent: the resulting total can never go negative, and experienceLevel / experienceProgress are always recomputed from the vanilla curve (no negative progress or NaN). A rejected level-up packet resyncs the player so a stale/tampered client can't linger in a misleading state.
  • The vanilla XP-curve math (previously copy-pasted, untested, in three places) was extracted into a Forge-free common/util/ExperienceMath helper with unit tests covering the cost formula at skill levels 1/15/30/31/max across multipliers, the exact affordability boundary, the enough-levels / too-few-points rejection, and the negative-clamp guarantees.

Changed — level-up cost display & minimum cost

  • New config field skillLevelUpMinCost (default 1, server-authoritative, synced to clients): the minimum XP-point cost of a non-creative level-up. Prevents low multipliers from rounding a real level-up down to a free one; set to 0 to explicitly allow free level-ups when the scaled cost rounds to 0.
  • The level-up tooltip now shows the exact XP-point cost only ("Spend %s xp to level up %s."), matching what the server enforces, instead of a separately-rounded and misleading "levels" figure.
