Ultimate Custom Gear

[1.3.1] - 2026-07-05

✨ New Features

Item / Block / Fluid Tags

• New tags field on items, food, blocks and fluids — declare which tags your content belongs to (no # prefix), e.g. "tags": ["c:ingots", "c:ingots/ruby"]
• Makes your content usable in other mods' recipes (and your own) that accept those tags: a block tagged minecraft:planks works anywhere planks are accepted; an item tagged c:ingots is recognized by any mod using that tag
• Blocks are added to both the block and item tag registries (so the block and its item form both count); fluids tag the fluid and their bucket item
• Tags merge with vanilla/other-mod tags of the same name ("replace": false); you can also invent your own tags (customgear:magic_gems)
• Not available for armor/tool/weapon sets in this version (their per-piece IDs need a separate schema — planned)

Unified texture keys for blocks

• refs now handles every block texture case: single texture (all) or per-face (top/bottom/north/south/east/west/side)
• all is the canonical single-texture key; block is kept as a legacy alias
• faces still works for per-face textures (legacy alias)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed custom-mode block textures rejecting the all/block key (the mode only accepted the per-face path before)
• Fixed custom block textures not loading from content pack zips — they resolved against a hardcoded old folder path instead of the content roots (loose folder + zips). Custom block/face textures now load from zips like everything else
• Fixed placed custom fluids showing a raw translation key in Jade/WAILA instead of their name (the fluid block's name key was missing)
• Fixed being unable to place blocks into a custom fluid to fill or remove it — fluid blocks are now replaceable and flagged as liquid, like water/lava

🔧 Technical Changes

• ItemTagLoader.java — new: generates item/block/fluid tag files from the tags field and injects them into the dynamic pack (routes blocks to both block+item registries, fluids to fluid+bucket; 1.21 singular tag paths, "replace": false); called at startup and on reload
• ItemData.java, BlockData.java, FluidData.java — new tags field (List<String>)
• BlockModelGenerator.java — unified texture key resolution: allRef() (accepts all/block) and resolveFaces() (reads face keys from refs or the faces object); custom textures now resolve through TextureLoader.resolveUserResource (content roots), fixing the hardcoded ./ultimatecustomgear path that ignored pack zips
• LangGenerator.java — emits block.customgear.<id> for fluids (Jade/WAILA/F3 name)
• CustomFluid.java — fluid block properties now include .replaceable() and .liquid()
• CustomGearCommandHandler.java — reload now also regenerates block tags, block loot tables and item tags (all pack-injected loaders must run on reload)
