[TaCZ] Laboratory Chemical Weapons

# [TaCZ] Laboratory Chemical Weapons

**Turn your guns into chemical weapons.** Build a clandestine chemistry lab, brew elemental and synthetic chemicals, mix them into deadly compounds and load them into your **Timeless and Classics Zero** ammo.

> Requires **TaCZ (Timeless and Classics Zero) for NeoForge 1.21.1**. JEI is optional but recommended.

## 🧪 The Laboratory

A huge **5x3x3 multiblock** with a fully modelled, animated 3D look: rusty tanks, glass pipes, a makeshift gas burner, an extractor fan, a gas mask and gloves on the workbench, a flickering bulb, an old CRT monitor and a biohazard sign.

1. Craft the **Chemical Laboratory** (3 Paper, Iron Ingot, Copper Ingot, Glass Bottle).
2. Right-click the ground: a frame appears with a **hologram of the next stage**.
3. Right-click it with materials to build it in **3 stages**:
   - **Stage 1:** 16 Iron Ingots, 16 Planks, 8 Copper Ingots
   - **Stage 2:** 1 Blast Furnace, 12 Glass, 16 Copper Ingots, 3 Buckets
   - **Stage 3:** 4 Diamonds, 8 Pyrolite, 16 Redstone, 8 Tinted Glass

Once complete, everything reacts while it works: liquid levels rise and fall, colored drops travel through the pipes, the mixer swirls two colors together, the burner glows, the press hammers and the valves turn.

## ⚗️ Chemicals

Melt items in the **Chemical Furnace** to fill the **4 base tanks** (one chemical per tank, each tank can be drained).

## 💀 Combinations

Open two tanks towards the **mixer** to create compounds:

A built-in **recipe book** shows every combination, highlights the ones you can make right now and opens the right valves with one click. Hovering a tank tells you what it combines with.

## 🔫 Chemical Ammo

- Put normal TaCZ ammo in the **press**: it comes out loaded with the mixer's chemical (25 mB per round).
- Reload as usual. The gun **remembers the exact order** of normal and chemical rounds in the magazine, shown in its tooltip (e.g. `3× normal → 5× Frost → 2× Plasma`).
- Chemical rounds fire **bright colored tracers** that match their chemical.

## 📖 JEI Support

Two JEI categories: **Chemical Furnace** (what each item melts into) and **Chemical Mixing** (every combination).

## ℹ️ Notes

- Guns that shoot straight from the inventory, or TaCZ ammo boxes, don't apply chemicals.
- Fully original assets: no TaCZ models or textures are included.
- English and Spanish translations.
