[TaCZ] Weapon Research & Blueprints 1.3.8-neoforge-beta.1

The first NeoForge beta brings blueprint progression to Minecraft 1.21.1 with the unofficial NeoForge port of Timeless and Classics Zero (TaCZ). Explore for blueprints and Scrap, research your next weapon, and build higher-tier stations.

Highlights

• Blueprint learning and tiered Workbench crafting work in singleplayer and multiplayer. Learned recipes persist through death, dimension travel, reconnects, and server restarts.
• The Research Bench, Blueprint Journal, Blueprint Analyzer, fragments, Research Data, and physical Scrap progression are available on NeoForge.
• The Gunsmith and Ballistics Researcher bring their job sites, five trading levels, equipment offers, and research supplies to Minecraft 1.21.1.
• Research Designer supports server capture, local editing, previews, and export of Minecraft 1.21.1 datapacks and editable projects.
• Ammo Research and Attachment Research can enable the included Tech Trees under Server Settings → Research Progression in Fzzy Config. Keep Enable Research on. The default Use Profile follows the datapack; the built-in profile enables weapons only.
• Optional JEI and EMI information pages are available in their NeoForge builds.

Fixes

• Discounted villager trades enforce their minimum payment, including shift-click purchases. Missing-addon stock retains its saved item data, including valid trades that omit an item count.
• Research Bench nodes, Journal text, and Designer screens draw correctly; Designer import instructions appear immediately.
• Sideways trackpad gestures no longer move Analyzer details or the Designer library downward. Vertical and diagonal scrolling retain their normal behavior.
• Designer exports use the Minecraft 1.21.1 datapack format and retain TaCZ recipe quantities above 99 items.
• Ammo and attachment research modes display translated names in settings. Bundled example datapacks use the Minecraft 1.21.1 resource format.

Updating

Install this beta on the server and every client, using a new Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge installation. Use a new world: this beta does not support migrating Forge 1.20.1 worlds or player progress. The Forge release remains separate.

TaCZ Magazines integration is Forge-only. A NeoForge version of that addon is not supported by this beta. Custom datapacks must also target Minecraft 1.21.1; older Forge datapacks can require resource-directory and item-data changes.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1, Java 21, and NeoForge 21.1.233 or newer in the 21.1 series.
• The unofficial NeoForge TaCZ port, version 1.1.8 or newer. This build targets 1.1.8-hotfix-r7. Use the NeoForge JAR, not the Forge TaCZ download.
• Fzzy Config 0.7.7 or later in the 0.7 series for NeoForge, with its required dependencies. The tested setup uses Kotlin for Forge's NeoForge variant 5.12.0.
• Optional: JEI 19.x or EMI 1.1.x for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge. The tested versions are JEI 19.21.0.247 and EMI 1.1.24+1.21.1.
