Cave Factory --Reimagined--

New Features & Mechanics

• AE2 Budding Quartz Integration: Added Flawless, Flawed, Chipped, and Damaged Budding Quartz as rare custom drops when mining Deepslate.

• The "No Babies" Spawner Upgrade: You can now right-click any spawner with a Golden Carrot to permanently disable baby mob spawns for that specific block. This consumes the carrot and provides a visual/audio confirmation when successfully applied.

• Water Mechanics: Disabled infinite water source conversion globally upon world generation.

• Custom Recipes: Added custom crafting pathways to obtain Glowstone Dust and Water.

Bug Fixes & Script Corrections

• Blood Magic Altar Fix: Corrected a backend syntax error that was preventing Blood Magic Altar recipes from registering. The method for the Deepslate-to-Sky-Stone transmutation was updated (from .consumeRate() to .consumptionRate()). No recipes or logic were deleted.

• Sky Dust Stonecutting Fix: Fixed a crashing KubeJS stonecutting recipe by correcting the output item ID from ae2:sky_stone_dust (which doesn't exist) to the correct ae2:sky_dust.

Quests, Progression & Configs

• Early Applied Energistics 2 Setup: The early-game pathway for AE2 is officially solidified. Silicon is designed to be obtained by crushing early Certus Quartz into dust and smelting it, keeping players focused on Overworld resource management before unlocking the Nether. The AE2 Charger and Wooden Crank remain the intended path for initial Charged Certus.

• Lost Trinkets: Further implemented Lost Trinkets integration and progression.

• Quest Book Polish: Added new immersive flavor text and descriptions across various quests.

• UI Adjustments (NERB): Adjusted the configuration YAML for NERB (Not Enough Recipe Book) to automatically disable the vanilla crafting book UI.
