Deathworm chitin moves through sand the way the worm does. Collision is
asked of the block, with the entity only along for the ride in the
collision context, so this is the one thing an attribute and an event
cannot carry between them and the mod's first mixin - two lines into
BlockStateBase, with SandPhasing.java owning the decision. Which blocks
count is the cmmodular:sand_like tag: the common c: sand, gravel and
concrete powder tags, each optional, plus the vanilla loose blocks by
name. Sand you stand inside cannot suffocate you.
It does not drop you through the desert. A block wholly below the feet
still holds you up, so sand stays something to walk on and a dune
becomes something to walk into - step in and you keep your level, jump
and the sand under you turns solid and puts you back on top. Without
that the first sand block you stood on would swallow you down to the
sandstone and leave you there.
Dragon bone burns what it hits, as Ice and Fire's own flamed dragonbone
sword does. That is a fake Fire Aspect: MIAPI's immolate is bonus damage
against something already alight, and its own wiki marks it
unimplemented. Ice and Fire ships one dragon bone for all three kinds of
dragon, so it cannot be the fire dragon's alone.
Sea serpent scales swim: +0.10 swim speed per module in each worn slot,
which lands a full suit near the mark Armory's scuba set sets.
And the arcana core, the one item here that is not a material or a
module. Four arcane essence, four cinder essence, a nether star in the
middle, and out comes a gem that fits any socket and ends Iron's Spells'
limits - a mana pool nothing can empty, cooldowns and cast times at
zero, ten times the spell power. The item is always registered because
an item cannot be conditional; its material and recipe live in the
Iron's Spells pack, so without that mod it is nothing. Its texture is
the heart of the sea's shape in purple, drawn here.
Attributes that a worn or held piece grants were going missing on the
way through a portal - the modifiers are transient, the attribute map is
the only place they live, and nothing re-applies them until the piece is
taken off and put back on, which is why cinder essence stopped being
fire immunity exactly where it was wanted. EquipmentAttributes.java
rebuilds the map from the equipment after a dimension change or a
respawn, and reads this mod's own attributes off the equipment as a
fallback.

Every scale material was in the "scute" group, and nothing in Truly
Modular accepts it - not Armory's armour, not Arsenal's or Archery's
parts. MIAPI's own turtle and armadillo scutes are stuck the same way.
So the 22 scale materials now carry "bone" as a hidden group: matched
when a module decides what it will accept, ignored when the workbench
decides what heading to file the material under, which is how Armory
hands its own gem slots vanilla materials. That is every piece of
armour except the scuba set, which takes fabric/metal/glass, plus tool
and bow parts.
Dragon bone gains "gem_armor" the same way, so it can be set into an
armour socket rather than only shaped into the armour; it already built
grips and handles as a bone.
Sea serpent fang is new - Ice and Fire has no sea serpent bone, and the
fang is what a serpent leaves besides its scales. It grants water
breathing, which is what Ice and Fire's own Tide Guardian armour does
and what nothing in MIAPI can express: WaterBreathing.java registers an
attribute and answers LivingBreatheEvent, exactly as FireImmunity and
VacuumSeal do, but only with the bearer's eyes in water so a fang is
not half a spacesuit.

Platinum (Create Propulsion: Simulated) and aviation alloy (AeroEngine) were
the only materials left in the pack; Pastel's gem fragments now count as an
eighth of a gem, and Create: Wizardry's arcane sheet, arcane block and mithril
nugget feed the metals they are made of, through extensions in its own pack so
they cost nothing to anyone without it.
Four modules of our own, in packs gated on the addon whose slots they use:
- A khopesh blade for any sword blade slot - axe damage, a point of knockback,
an axe's mining level, fast, and short-reached and fragile to pay for it.
Nothing in the ecosystem ships one, so it is drawn here.
- Socketed pommels. Arsenal's own socket pommel takes a small gem, and no
module anywhere in Arsenal, Armory, Archery or MIAPI offers a gem_melee_large
slot, so the large gemstone had nowhere to go. Now it does.
- A sealed helmet and a life support pack. Cosmonautics suffocates you in space
through LivingBreatheEvent and exempts only items that *are* a Create diving
helmet, which a modular helmet cannot be, so VacuumSeal.java answers the same
event last. Half a seal each: it takes the suit, not the hat.
Arcane alloy is what it is called in game - Create: Wizardry renames the ingot -
and cutting spell cooldowns is now the reason to build out of it: 10% held per
module, less on armour, on Iron's Spells' cooldown * (2 - value), so a weapon
made of it beats the mod's best staff and a full kit still stays inside the
formula.
Two bugs found on the way: the Ice and Fire amethyst extension named an item
that does not exist (the mod spells it amythest_gem) in a shape MIAPI's codec
does not read, so it had never done anything - extensions are item-checked like
materials now. And the generator handed a namespace to whichever jar sorted
first, which is an addon as often as the mod that owns it; it goes to the jar
with the most of it now. A mod whose jar is missing is skipped with its files
left alone rather than failing the run, and only material folders are cleared,
since the module packs are hand-written.
Module art is placeholder-grade and meant to be repainted: it lives in
textures/items and textures/equipment, with blank templates and a guide sheet
giving the palette stops and every region a model samples.

Armory decides elytra flight through miapi:generic.elytra_glide_efficiency,
which its heavy armour reduces by "-30 - density*2" on the chest. Titanium now
adds a flat +10 there - a nudge rather than a cancellation - and its flexibility
goes from 3 to 3.5, since the wing modules read flexibility and density. The
aerospace metal should fly.
Version bumped to 1.1.0 so the loaded build is identifiable at a glance. The
filename changes with it, which makes a stale jar in a mods folder obvious
instead of something that has to be inferred from tooltip values.

72 materials sourced from Create, Mekanism, Ice and Fire, Iron's Spells,
Create: The Air War, Create: Cosmonautics and Aeronautics: Interstellar
Expansion.
Stats follow Tinkers' Construct 3 re-scaled onto MIAPI's vanilla-derived
numbers; materials with no Tinkers counterpart are built from what the
material actually is and then fitted to the nearest tier band.
Palettes are not hand-picked. tools/generate_materials.py reads each
material's texture out of the source mod's jar and samples it into MIAPI's
seven-stop grayscale_map, reproducing MIAPI's own hand-authored copper
palette to within ~2% per channel.
MIAPI's material loader honours no datapack conditions, and a material whose
ingredient item is missing fails to parse, so each mod's materials ship as a
built-in datapack registered only when that mod is installed. Titanium is
shared by both aerospace addons and so sources its ingredients from
c:ingots/titanium instead of an item id.
Cinder essence grants fire immunity through an attribute this mod registers
and watches itself, rather than coupling to MIAPI internals.
