Spectrum NeoForge 1.12.0 for Minecraft 1.21.1

Breaking Changes

• Preservation Chests / Item Bowls will forget which players interacted with them already
• Ink is now exposed via capability and its package got changed. This will break all mods integrating with Ink
• Pure Azurite/Malachite/Bloodstone block ids have been renamed. Craft them to items to prevent loosing yours
• The json format of Enchantment upgrade recipes changed. The wiki has been updated.
  • Now takes ingredients instead of individual items
  • Different levels now allow for individual ingredients (now possible example: low level: pigment; high level: pigment blocks)
• The json format of Crystallarieum recipes changed.
  • "fluid_medium" is now "fluid" to match the other recipe types
  • "catalysts" are now "additives", since they are usually consumed. The wiki and ingame text has been updated.

Known Issues

• Pastel Ink nodes balance ink between blocks, but that is not indicated visually
• Pastel Nodes sometimes jitter

Fluid Revamp

Mud/Sludge has been removed. It never really found its place in the mod and was merely useful for some dipping recipes & getting renewable Dirt. Added Cauldrons for all fluids. Man, that was a real pita. Fluid dripping via Dripstone works, too! You can adjust the speed / disable it in the config. Revamped the colors of all fluids, including their submerged overlays, to be more expressive

Quitoxic Reeds now grow in Dragonrot and can now convert the block they are growing on. Depending where they grow in they now turn clay/mud into different materials. Sneakily added a way to get Failing/the Cinderhearth without ever visiting the Nether - take that, dimension-locking servers.

Pastel Network Expansion

Pastel Networks have been reworked to support arbitrary resources. Added the Ink Node! Connecting blocks that store Ink will even it out between all connected blocks in the network. Finding Mermaids Gems now unlock Fluid Nodes! They work exactly like their item counterparts, having provider, sender, storage and gather variants. Moonstone tier unlocks Omni nodes! These combine item, fluid and ink transfer all in one

Refactoring

A sizable amount of time this update was invested in refactoring and code cleanliness. Over the years that Spectrum has been in existence legacy code, similar but not identical strands of code and special cases have accumulated, and these have now been tidied up. There's still room for improvement here and there (particularly around the multiblocks that use item bowls), but it’s already making a big difference and will simplify future updates and ports. Also ran static code analysis (Qodana) across the whole codebase, resulting in lots of fixes, performance & code tidiness improvements all around the board, way too many to list here.
