File Name

Quintessence-Server-6.4.zip

Supported Versions

  • 1.18.2

As always, remember to make a backup of your world so you can revert to the previous version if needed (since modern modding will randomly corrupt your world due to datapack errors for no damn reason)

Decided by the Discord poll, I'm porting the pack to 1.19.2 (can't do 1.20.1 since Tinker's hasn't been ported yet and i don't wanna make the pack without it), so this will be the final update for the 1.18 version (until I inevitably find major issues lol).

As per usual, it started as a small patch and evolved into a big update lol




Main changes

Added my Stoneborn: Missing Mods texture pack

  • This took me far too long to make, but it's the only Stoneborn add-on for the all the mods it adds support for (that I could find, at least)

Added my Extra Data Models datapack (and the Trivia Pack)

Imported my Melting Recipes Compatability datapack

  • I originally made it for this pack, but figured I could publish it (kinda like what happened when I first made Extra Data Models lol)
  • Due to this, I was finally managed to make Chains cheaper (like I always wanted to)

Added three custom machines:

  • Coinifier: Holds the coinification recipes I had, making them easier to manage and less spammy for regular processing machinery
  • Arc Furnace: Replaces my Induction Smelter recipes for scrappable items. Gives you double the output (in terms of nuggets - so 6 nuggets instead of 1 small scrap) for 50% more RF.
  • Shredder: Replaces my recycling recipes (including Scrap). Also added several new ones based on my new recycling system. -- The only exception is Candles

Overhauled my scrap system

  • Added Emerald scrap
  • Added Steeleaf scrap
  • Tiny Iron and Gold no longer have the nugget tag
  • Tag is now scrappable/type instead of meltable_type (e.g. scrappable/copper instead of meltable_copper). Furnace recipes have also been removed in favour of Shredder recipes. This is my new standard for the system, and I'll update all the modpacks that use it soon™
  • Most items now have a scrap tag, but I excluded a few due to the new progression order being custom machines -> smeltery (that way you're encouraged to use it as a metal recycler)

Imported my ore smelting fixer script from Hi-Tech Revolution

  • Also removed my blasting recipes for raw ore blocks

Added a few loading screen tips
Changed all the messages occasionally printed in chat from quest rewards to dark purple text
New worlds now start with an Eccentric Tome that has the default guidebooks inside of it (instead of having them all be in separate slots)
Fixed the gap between pause menu buttons
Tweaked the menu designs

  • Changed the wiki link
  • Made sure the Discord button actually links to Discord

Changed the namespace of my custom tags to quintessence
Changed the model & texture for the Artificial Dragon Egg

  • It's now a block instead of an item

Migrated some of the CraftTweaker scripts to twilightforest

  • Mostly a backend change, but it might make the game load a bit faster




Bugfixes

Re-enabled item scrolling (no clue why it was disabled in the first place lol)
Fixed Quantum Quarry's pump upgrade not requiring an Upgrade Base
Fixed the Matrix Enchanting Table not being a separate block even though it should've been

Added a log recipe for Minecraft chests

  • I intended to add this alongside the plank recipes, but never got around to it Fixed the Comparator recipe not showing up
    Fixed the Artificial Dragon Egg quest
    Fixed Refined Pipes not being recyclable
    Fixed creative items using Refined Pipes when they should be using ducts
    Fixed the Creative Energy Cell not having the Quintessal rarity
    Fixed Card Displays not giving String when recycled
    Fixed the Artificial Dragon Egg missing an input
  • The dragon scale recipe now takes 2.5 minutes to craft (was 1)

Fixed Knightmetal Scrap smelting into Fiery Ingots Fixed the Wailing Garth overriding the Soul Sand Valley

  • Wraiths can now spawn there too as a failsafe Fixed Energy and Fluid Pipes (from Refined Pipes) still being obtainable Fixed Rose Gold casting recipes sometimes giving the wrong output
  • Also disabled (as much as I can, at least) Tinkers' Rose Gold Fixed energy and fluid pipes being used in some stuff even though they're deprecated (reported by unitcircle in the feedback channel)
    Fixed Myalite not showing up in the worldgen of The End
  • For some reason, Vazkii didn't fill out Quark's default config with parameters for modded biomes - but I fixed it!
  • Tweaked the spawnrates of Myalite to be a bit more balanced with the slight biome variety
  • Before fixing the worldgen, I added some recipes for it. Said recipes still remain just in case you can't find it (or it breaks and doesn't generate), but I'l probably remove them in the next update Fixed Rose Gold Blocks not being decraftable into Tinker's Rose Gold (reported by unitcircle in the feedback channel)
  • Kind of a band-aid fix, but it's the only way I can fix it without having to rebalance/overhaul a lot of stuff Fixed bows dropped by the Snow Queen not being coinifiable with Crushing Wheels
    Added a recipe to coinify the Ender Bow (as intended from the start)

Fixed my custom Create recipes using the wrong durations
Fixed a few milling recipes not giving the correct amount
Fixed a few Sawdust recipes not giving the correct amount
Fixed the default Granite -> Red Sand milling recipe being removed when it shouldn't be
