Gloambound Changelog

0.6.0-beta (November 10, 2026)

Player requests and fixes: recipe choice in Refined Storage grids, Apotheosis gems for spellcasters, a one-block cobblestone generator, and an Ice and Fire security update.

New mods

• Polymorphic Refined Storage (1.2.2): adds a recipe-choice button to the Refined Storage Crafting Grid and Pattern Grid (including the Quartz Arsenal wireless grid) when several recipes share the same ingredients, such as iron gears. The choice is saved into encoded patterns, so autocrafting makes the item you picked. Needed on both client and server.
• Apotheosis x Iron's Spellbooks Compat (2.2.8): Apotheosis gems and affixes for spellcasters, so loot and gear can carry spell bonuses and trigger spells. Requested by Wobniar5775.
• Create Cobblestone (1.5.1): a single block that generates cobblestone from Create rotational power. (Cobblestone could already be made with Create: Easy Stone Generators in a Mixer and Basin, or Industrial Foregoing's Material StoneWork Factory; this adds a simple place-and-power option.)

Mod updates

Updated for bug and security fixes:

• IceAndFire Community Edition 2.1.4 → 2.2: multiplayer exploit fixes (mount controls and multipart attacks no longer trust client-sent damage or positions); fixes the Dragon Forge losing items and progress; better summoning crystal ownership checks and retrieval of dragons from unloaded chunks and other dimensions. Gloambound's Ice and Fire settings (halved dragon flight speed, no block breaking by tamed dragons, standard main menu) carry over unchanged.
• Sophisticated Core 1.5.28 → 1.5.32 and Sophisticated Backpacks 3.26.20 → 3.26.21: fixes controller-linked storage items becoming unavailable, and backpack jukebox music continuing after death.

Smaller updates:

• Moonlight Lib 3.8.1 → 3.8.3 (library; memory leak fixes), Ars Nouveau 5.13.4 → 5.13.5 (particle fixes; Pantomime places blocks facing the right way), Oh The Trees You'll Grow 5.3.5 → 5.3.6 (trees no longer grow above the Nether roof), Create: Copycats+ 3.0.9 → 3.0.11.

Still held back: Occultism and Modonomicon, Create Crafts & Additions, MezzConfig (see 0.5.0-beta).

0.5.0-beta (November 5, 2026)

Quality-of-life release: elevators, item collectors, ore-height charts for every mod's ores, two Create add-ons requested by players, and a round of crash and security fixes.

New mods

• OpenBlocks Elevator: elevator blocks from wool and an Ender Pearl. Jump to go up a floor, sneak to go down.
• Item Collectors: a block that picks up dropped items in a set range. Handy at farms and mob grinders.
• Just Enough Resources (JER): JEI shows where ores generate (heights) and what mobs drop. Client only. Out of the box, JER only knows vanilla ores, and its world scanner isn't available in this version yet. So we built Gloambound's ore data from each mod's own ore settings and ship it with the pack: about 100 ores across the Overworld, Nether and End, including Mekanism (tin, osmium, lead, uranium, fluorite), Immersive Engineering, Oritech, Powah, Occultism, Ice and Fire, Silent Gear and Silent Gems. Height ranges match each mod's settings; how common each ore is, is a close estimate. Charts top out at Y 255, so ores that also generate higher in mountains (like iron and osmium) show up to that height.
• Durability Tooltip: shows tool and armor durability numbers. Client only.
• JourneyMap Integration: shows extra mod information on the JourneyMap map. Client only.
• Bad Wither No Cookie - Reloaded: keeps Wither and Ender Dragon sounds local instead of server-wide. Client only.
• TrashSlot: adds a trash slot to the inventory screen.
• NetherPortalFix: keeps paired Nether portals linked correctly in multiplayer. Server side.
• Create: Connected (1.3.3): extra Create blocks such as clutches, gearboxes, redstone diodes and transmitters, sideways vaults and tanks, and a Kinetic Battery that stores rotation. Every feature can be turned off in its config. Requested by MachaiA.
• Create: Dragons Plus (1.11.9): new Encased Fan processing: bulk dyeing with dye fluids, bulk freezing with powder snow, and bulk "Ending" with a dragon head or Dragon's Breath; plus a Fluid Hatch for tanks. Requested by MachaiA.

Mod updates

Updated for crash, bug and security fixes:

• Ars Nouveau 5.13.3 → 5.13.4: fixes a crash when opening a spell book, lecterns causing heavy server lag when inserting into storage, and item loss when inserting into a full lectern.
• FTB Quests (NeoForge) 2101.1.37 → 2101.1.38: fixes a client crash when the quest book reloads and a crash when opening loot crates.
• Sophisticated Storage 1.6.10 → 1.6.16, Sophisticated Core 1.5.19 → 1.5.28 and Sophisticated Backpacks 3.26.17 → 3.26.20: security fix for forged requests that could bypass inventory access restrictions; fixes an intermittent crash in Compacting Upgrades, compression barrels refusing overflow items, the Ender Linker on remotely linked storage, and upgrade settings lost after dimension changes. Updated together.
• KubeJS build 377 → 381: fixes a crash in its Architectury integration and resources not loading from mod files.
• FTB Teams (NeoForge) 2101.1.11 → 2101.1.12: fixes team stages leaking between teams.

Smaller updates:

• Balm 21.0.66 → 21.0.67 (library), Moonlight Lib 3.7.2 → 3.8.1 (library; config fixes), SuperMartijn642's Core Lib 1.1.26 → 1.1.26a (library; adds a loaded-block check), Aquaculture 2 2.7.21 → 2.7.22 (adds missing item tags).

Held back on purpose:

• Occultism and Modonomicon: a bigger version jump, and our Foliot Crusher gate and Occultism miner recipes depend on them. To be tested on their own.
• Create Crafts & Additions 1.6.0 → 1.7.2: reworks its wire Connectors, which could change existing builds. To be tested on its own.
• MezzConfig: the newer version is a beta release.

Removed before release

• Mekanism Covers was tested and left out: it crashes with the current Sodium. Use Cable Facades (already in the pack) to hide Mekanism cables and pipes instead.

Server settings

• The server pack's server.properties now sets difficulty to Easy. Change it there if your server wants a different difficulty.

0.4.0-beta (November 3, 2026)

The big change in this version: Twilight Forest boss materials are now a single hurdle in each mod, not a cost on every craft. Fight each boss once to unlock a mod's next tier; after that, mid and late game play normally, and every boss material can be farmed.

New mod

• Advanced Generators Reforged (1.7.0.1): modular multiblock generators that burn fuel and scale up as you build them bigger.

Gates: one hurdle per mod

Each mod now has one "doorway" machine that uses up a boss key once. Everything you make in bulk is back to its normal recipe, so Refined Storage autocrafting and keep-in-stock levels work without any keys in storage. Small detours into another mod stay (for example, Ender IO and Oritech still need Mekanism's Infused Alloy for their ore doublers), but no mod requires finishing another one.

• No longer gated: Mekanism circuits, Ender IO capacitors, Oritech Machine Cores, Refined Storage Autocrafter, Powah Thermo Generators, Iron Jetpacks coils, Flux Cores, Hopper Botany Pots, Mystical Agriculture essences and Productive Bees' Productivity Upgrade I.
• Productive Bees' Tertium, Imperium and Supremium combs work again.
• Productive Bees has no gate. Its reduced comb output is the slowdown.
• Powah: Starter and Basic gear doesn't need the Energizing Orb, so early Powah power stays free.

Renewable boss materials

After the first boss kill, each key material can be mass-produced several ways:

• Bees: new Naga, Fiery, Alpha Yeti, Knightmetal and Carminite bees. Feed the boss item to an Emerald, Magmatic, Frosty, Iron or Redstone Bee to convert it.
• Laser Drill: green lens (Naga Scale), orange (Fiery Blood), white (Alpha Yeti Fur), gray (Armor Shards), red (Carminite).
• Occultism miners: Djinni find Naga Scales and Alpha Yeti Fur; Afrit find Fiery Blood, Armor Shards and Carminite.
• Create mixing: one boss item plus common materials makes two (Armor Shards: three).
• Mystical Agriculture: the existing Fiery Ingot and Knightmetal crops.
• Nether Stars: already renewable through Withered Bees, Oritech's Particle Collider and wither farms.

Notes

• Need early power from coal or charcoal? Six generators burn it, none of them gated: Powah's Furnator, Mekanism's Heat Generator, Ender IO's Stirling Generator, Oritech's Basic Generator, and Industrial Foregoing's Pitiful Generator and Furnace Mycelial Generator.
• Renewable rates (bee combs, Laser Drill and miner chances) are a first pass and may be tuned in later versions.
• Existing worlds are fine: anything already built under the old gates stays as it is.
• Server owners: update the server with the matching 0.4.0-beta server pack.

Recipe changes

• New: Oh the Biomes We've Gone aloe vera can be crafted into Pam's HarvestCraft aloe (1 to 1), so wild aloe works in all of Pam's aloe recipes, including slimeballs.

0.3.0-beta (October 31, 2026)

New mods

• Twilight Spellbooks: Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks Addon: boss-themed spellbooks, rings and charms from the Twilight Forest bosses
• Create: Copycats+: copycat blocks in many shapes that take on the look of any block
• Create: Easy Stone Generators: compact, lag-friendly stone generators (cobblestone, smooth stone, basalt and more)
• Create: Liquid Fuel: Blaze Burners can run on liquid fuels
• Wireless Chargers: chargers that power up nearby players' items and machines (adds SuperMartijn642's Core Lib and Config Lib as required libraries)
• More Overlays Updated: F7 shows light levels, F9 shows chunk borders (client only)

Mod updates

• FTB Library (NeoForge) 2101.1.37 → 2101.1.39
• FTB Chunks (NeoForge) 2101.1.22 → 2101.1.23
• GuideME 21.1.20 → 21.1.22
• SuperMartijn642's Core Lib 1.1.25 → 1.1.26

Settings changes

• Heat stroke turned off (Ecliptic Seasons). Hot biomes in summer no longer apply the Heatstroke effect.
• Force-loaded chunks now stay loaded when the team is offline (FTB Chunks). Claimed chunk loaders keep running when nobody on the team is online.

Notes

• Some keybinds overlap (F7 is also Ice and Fire's dragon camera view, F9 is also Framed Blocks' refresh). Rebind whichever you prefer in Options, then Controls.
• Tip: Ecliptic Seasons has a craftable Calendar for checking the current season and solar term.
• Server owners: all of the new mods except More Overlays are required on the server. Use the matching 0.3.0-beta server pack.

0.2.2-beta (October 28, 2026)

• Complementary Shaders - Reimagined is now included and turned on by default. Turn them off in Video Settings, then Shader Packs, if your computer struggles.

0.2.1-beta (October 28, 2026)

• Fixed: the 0.2.0 file was missing its mod list, so installs came up empty. Use 0.2.1 or newer.
• First public server pack added.

0.2.0-beta (October 27, 2026)

• First public beta of Gloambound.
