🎈 v0.1.0 (Beta): First Flight 🚀

The very first public release of Brass & Ballast. Take off, automate, and climb through all seven ages. 🛫

✨ What's In This Release

• ✈️ Full Create: Aeronautics flight anchor, from dirt all the way to rockets
• 🗺️ 7 gated ages with SevTech-style unlocks
• 📜 A 148-quest FTB Quests book with real verifying tasks and hand-picked rewards
• ⚙️ Deep automation: Create, Mekanism (5x ore), AE2, Powah, Flux Networks, Laser IO
• 🌱 Balance pass: high-tier Mystical Agriculture crops gated behind real cost
• 🔮 Magic, ⚔️ combat and bosses, 🌌 four extra dimensions, 🏗️ building tools
• ⚡ Performance baked in: Sodium, ModernFix, ImmediatelyFast, FerriteCore, Entity Culling, Dynamic FPS
• 🎯 156 mods, tuned to boot clean on NeoForge 1.21.1

⚠️ Good To Know

• 🟢 Best experience on the CurseForge app (everything auto-installs)
• 🔧 On other launchers, 6 mods need a manual download (Create Aeronautics, Structory, Better Weaponry, Design n' Decor, Corail Tombstone, Entity Culling)
• 🌈 No shaders yet, the compatible loader clashes with the renderer Aeronautics needs
• 🧠 Allocate 8 GB minimum, 10 to 12 GB recommended

🔮 On The Horizon

• 🌈 Shaders, once Iris supports the newer Sodium line
• ⚖️ More balance tuning based on your feedback
• 🐛 Bug fixes. This is a beta, so please report anything odd in the comments!

Thanks for flying with Brass & Ballast. See you in the skies. 🎈
