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.

An extension was written to the same path as the material it extends,
one pack over. A datapack file is identified by its path, so that never
added an extension to anything: it replaced the material with a stub,
whichever of the two packs loaded last. The stub then named itself as
its own parent, which MIAPI reads as a cycle and drops, and the material
was gone entirely for anyone with both mods installed:
Unresolved extension cmmodular:metal/arcane_metal for target
cmmodular:metal/arcane_metal (missing or cyclic dependency)
That is arcane metal and mithril, the two materials Create: Wizardry
adds forms of, and it explains why they worked before the extensions
existed. Ice and Fire's amethyst was never affected - it extends a
miapi: material, so its own cmmodular: path collided with nothing.
The generated name carries the pack that owns the extension, since the
pack is why the extension exists and there could be another from a
different mod later. Nothing else about the files changes.

The material was named Arcane Alloy on the grounds that Create: Wizardry
ships a resource pack renaming the ingot to that. It does not, and there
is no arcane alloy in any of these mods to rename it to. Iron's Spells
calls the item an Arcane Ingot and the material plain Arcane, in the
tetra.material lang keys it already ships.
It is Arcane Metal here rather than Arcane, because a material is named
for the substance and not the shape it is traded in, and because plain
Arcane belongs to the essence, which is the one of the two with no other
name to fall back on. So the pair now reads Arcane and Arcane Metal.
The generated JSON is edited in place rather than regenerated: the only
field that moves is the translation, and no jar of Create: Wizardry is
around to sample against - regenerating would have gone and rewritten
palettes off whatever jars are to hand.

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.

Arcane essence granted max mana through a single modifier with slot `armor`.
On a weapon that reads as "+200 Max Mana when worn", which is nonsense - you
do not wear a greatsword - and it gave every armour piece the same amount.
Each slot now carries its own modifier: 1300 on a helmet, 900 chest, 800 legs,
700 boots, and 900 in the main hand / 400 offhand so a weapon grants it while
held. They stack per module, so a piece built out of arcane essence that also
carries an arcane gem counts twice.
Cinder essence moves to slot `any`, so a single gem grants fire immunity
wherever it sits rather than only from an armour piece. The attribute is capped
at 1 and the handler treats anything at or above 1 as immune, so extra pieces
neither stack nor dilute it.

Silver comes from Ice and Fire, Immersive Engineering, Occultism and Superb
Warfare; steel from Mekanism, Immersive Engineering and Superb Warfare. Picking
one provider meant the other mods' ingots were not recognised as that material
at all - they simply could not be used.
Each material now also accepts the c: common tag that every provider registers
into, on top of the primary provider's own items, so any mod's silver ingot is
just silver. 43 materials unify this way.
No origin is recorded, because there is nothing to record: MIAPI stores only
the material id on the item. The primary provider's item stays first in the
ingredient list, so anywhere a single representative item is read back out it
resolves to the default rather than to whichever variant was used.
Tags are also the safe half of the pair - an unknown tag resolves to nothing
while an unknown item id fails the whole material - which is why the material
still lives in its primary provider's pack, where its icon and first ingredient
are guaranteed to exist. MIAPI's own wood material mixes items and tags the
same way. Create: The Air War ships no common tags, so its titanium is added to
c:ingots/titanium with optional entries.

Arcane essence gave no max mana when socketed into armour. Its attributes were
filed under the `armor` material-property key, but a gem module is not tagged
`armor` - the modules declare which material properties they accept and list
only `default` plus their own gem tags, so anything under `armor` or `handheld`
never applied. Everything on the gem-capable materials now hangs off `default`,
and the attribute's own slot decides where it counts. Cinder essence's fire
immunity had the same defect.
New materials, taken from the mods actually in the pack:
Ender IO the full alloy ladder plus its six crystals
AE2 certus quartz, charged certus, fluix
Occultism iesnium, spirit attuned gem
Ars Nouveau source gem
NauTec cast iron, atlantic gold, aquarine steel
Superb War tungsten, cemented carbide
Pastel ten gems
Crystal Chron eight shards
plus pink slime, dimensional shard, industrial iron, ferdonzor, glowshard
The two gem-set mods are generated from a table with shared stat bands per
tier, since their gems differ by colour and lore rather than by kind; the
palette still comes from each gem's own texture.
Metals that overlap a mod already covered are skipped rather than duplicated:
Superb Warfare's steel/lead/silver and Create Crafts & Additions' electrum.

Gem sockets never accepted the two Iron's Spells essences: Arsenal gates its
melee gem modules on the `gem_melee` material group and Armory gates its armour
ones on `gem_armor`, neither of which is the `gem` group they carried. Every
gem-like material now carries both, so it fits any gem slot.
Immersive Engineering adds aluminium, nickel, constantan, electrum and
graphite. Its steel, lead, uranium and silver overlap mods already covered, so
rather than one material accepting either mod's ingot, each metal simply names
one provider - Mekanism for steel/lead/uranium, Ice and Fire for silver. That
keeps one entry per metal in the crafting screen.
Titanium moves to the same rule with Cosmonautics as its provider, which drops
the c: tag files and the any-of pack machinery along with it. That also removes
a latent crash: a tag-fed material still needed an item for its icon, and MIAPI
parses icon items through the registry and throws when one is missing.
The generator now clears its output directory first, so a material that moves
between packs cannot leave a stale copy claiming the same id.

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.
