Ultimate Custom Gear

[1.4.0] - 2026-07-16

⚠️ Important Notes

• fire_resistant and armor layer changes are baked at startup — they require a game restart, not /customgear reload
• Mob drops ARE hot-reloadable: tune chance/min/max/entities live with /customgear reload

✨ New Features

Mob Drops (item economy)

• New mob_drops field on items and food — mobs drop your item on death, with configurable chance (0-1), min/max count and entity filter
• entities is explicit: ["all"] for every mob (vanilla and modded), exact IDs ("minecraft:zombie"), entity tags ("#minecraft:undead") or mod wildcards ("mekanism:*"). Omitting it disables the drop with a log warning
• requires_player_kill (default true) — mobs killed by the environment drop nothing, so automated farms can't print currency
• Boats, minecarts and armor stands never drop items; players are always excluded
• Fully hot-reloadable — balance your server economy live
• Items with mob drops show a "Dropped by" tooltip section with the source mobs and drop chance (localized entity names, long lists truncated; updates with reload)

Fire Resistant Items

• New fire_resistant field on items, food, gear (applies to every piece of a set), blocks and fluids — the dropped item survives fire and lava, like netherite
• On fluids it protects the filled bucket (yes, vanilla lava buckets burn in lava — yours don't have to)
• Does NOT make the wearer fire-immune (use fire resistance effects for that)

Transparent Armor

• New "transparent" value for armor_layers — the armor keeps all stats, effects and set bonuses but draws nothing on the body. Ideal for stat "accessories" that don't cover the skin
• Works in both texture modes. In reference mode it applies to the whole armor (set both layers); per-layer mixing is only available in custom mode

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed custom-mode gear textures (armor pieces, armor layers, tools, weapons, bow pulling frames) resolving against the mod's old folder name and never loading from content pack zips

🔧 Technical Changes

• MobDropHandler.java — new: LivingDropsEvent handler reading ITEM_MAP at event time (hot-reloadable); supports all, #entity_tags and mod:* wildcards; excludes players and armor stands
• ItemData.java — new mob_drops (MobDropsData) and fire_resistant fields; GearData, BlockData, FluidData — new fire_resistant field
• All Custom*Item classes — properties construction extracted to buildProps helpers applying fireResistant(); BlockRegistry (blockItemProps) and FluidRegistry (bucketProps) apply it to BlockItems and buckets
• GearModelGenerator.java — removed the stale GEAR_FOLDER constant; custom gear textures resolve through TextureLoader.resolveUserResource (content roots); injects a generated fully-transparent PNG for "transparent" layers
• CustomArmorItem.java — buildLayers intercepts "transparent" and points the armor material at the injected transparent texture
