The Future Is Here

THE FUTURE IS HERE — REBUILD / NUCLEAR FOUNDATION UPDATE

This version marks a major rebuild of *The Future Is Here*.

The previous version was a prototype used to experiment with concepts and
some of the mechanics planned for the mod. Starting with this update,
the project is being rebuilt on a new architecture, designed to support
much larger systems for chemistry, geology, industry, and nuclear physics.

Key changes: - Rebuilt for Minecraft 26.2 and NeoForge
26.2. - New foundation for the 118 chemical elements. - Automatic
element registration. - Tooltips with chemical information. - Dynamic
colors for elements and isotopes. - New isotope system. - Calculation of
protons, neutrons, and electrons. - Natural abundance, stability, and
half-life. - Alpha, Beta-, and Beta+ decay. - Automatic calculation of
daughter nuclei. - Ground and Metastable nuclear states. - Support for
isomers like Pa-234 and Pa-234m. - New DecayBranch system for decay
paths and probabilities. - Foundation ready for multiple decay
paths. - More detailed nuclear tooltips. - New DataGen workflow for
models and translations. - Code reorganized for upcoming major
mechanics.

This is still a foundational release. Many planned systems
remain under development and may change as the mod grows.

The goal of *The Future Is Here* is to create a technological progression
connecting geology, chemistry, industrial processing, and nuclear
technology, using real scientific concepts as a basis without sacrificing
gameplay.

Planned for future versions: - minerals, ores, and rocks; - geological
generation; - processing and refining; - compounds and ions; - more isotopes
and decay chains; - radiation; - fission and fusion; - multi-block
reactors; - particle accelerators; - advanced states of
matter; - industrial machines; - interactive periodic table; -
in-game technical information system.

This update is not merely an expansion of the previous prototype: it
establishes the new foundation upon which future versions of The
Future Is Here will be built.

Please note that the mod does not yet include the items in a dedicated Creative tab or any utility features. Only textures and the foundation for future mechanics have been added.
