Sea serpent fang was a fang anywhere: one of them, socketed, worn or held,
and you breathed underwater. It is an armour material now, and worth
something different in hand.
Worn, it grants half a lung per module in each armour slot and the handler
still only reads 1 as breathing, so it takes two worn fang modules - two
sockets, two pieces built of it, or a socketed piece that is both. That is
the trade the space set already makes, and a fang weapon no longer makes it
at all.
Held, it does what a serpent does in its element. Mining needs nothing of
ours: vanilla models underwater digging as an attribute of its own,
minecraft:player.submerged_mining_speed, base 0.2 for the fifth-speed
penalty, and +0.6 a module puts a single fang module four times past a plain
tool and two of them past dry land. Damage and swing speed have no such
switch, so WaterCombat.java registers cmmodular:water_combat the way
FireImmunity and WaterBreathing register theirs. Damage is answered on the
blow. Attack speed cannot be - the game reads it off the attribute map
whenever it likes - so a transient modifier under one id goes on and comes
off as the bearer enters and leaves the water.
The arcana core's recipe puts a trophy from each corner of the game in the
corners of the grid - nether star, dragon's breath, heart of the sea and
Iron's Spells' ancient knowledge fragment - with two cinder and two arcane
essence on the edges and nothing in the middle.
Armory sockets a helmet, a chestplate, a backplate and a belt and stops
there, so an arm or a leg could never hold a gem. Four pieces here finish it:
the heavy pauldron and the heavy pants, left and right, inheriting Armory's
own whole and adding the same gem_armor_medium slot at the same price, 5% of
the piece's armour. Where the gem sits is the other half - out on the
shoulder in the pauldron, forward on the knee in the pants - and the numbers
come from Armory's own art, which lies a sprite proud of the side of an arm
at 2.15 and of the front of a body at 2.35.
Last, a gem case, for anyone running Apotheosis. Its gems are not modules and
never can be, since what makes one worth having is its own rarity and purity
data, but Apotheosis counts sockets in a plain data component and MIAPI's
component property sets any component a module likes. So the case is one line
of data: put it in an armour piece's gem slot instead of a gemstone and the
piece reports an Apotheosis socket, which the gem goes into at a smithing
table. Modular armour extends vanilla ArmorItem, so Apotheosis' LootCategory
already calls it a helmet or a chestplate, and gem bonuses arrive through
ItemAttributeModifierEvent, where MIAPI is not looking. The pack is gated on
Apotheosis and Armory both, which is why a pack can now name more than one
mod.
None of this is compiled or run - there is no JDK on the machine it was
written on.

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.
