Microsoft access tokens have a ~1 hour TTL. The launcher cached the
MSession once at sign-in and re-used it on every Play click, so leaving
the launcher open for >1 hour and then hitting Play sent stale
credentials to MC -- Mojang's session check on the server then rejected
the join with "Invalid session".
Fix: in DoLaunchAsync, before assembling the MC launch command, call
_auth.TryAuthenticateSilentlyAsync(). XboxAuthNet's silent flow uses
the cached refresh token (~14 day TTL) to mint a fresh access token
transparently. On success ApplySession swaps in the new MSession and
we launch with valid credentials. On failure (refresh token also
stale) the launcher prompts the player to sign in again -- they keep
the launcher open, hit Sign In, no MC restart needed.
No new dependencies, no UI change beyond the brief "Refreshing
session..." status line, no perf cost beyond the ~500ms HTTP roundtrip
to Microsoft each launch.
Bump the launcher version in launcher/ModpackLauncher.csproj before
publishing so old launcher installs see the upgrade banner.
Two consecutive client_scripts errors traced to jei_hides.js:
1. Array-spread syntax not supported by Rhino (fixed in 0.21.1)
2. JEIEvents global is not defined in KubeJS 2101.7 -- the actual JEI
event API uses classes like JEIRemoveEntriesKubeEvent but the binding
name is something different we haven't identified yet.
Rather than ship more guesses, drop the script entirely. Functional
impact is minimal: recipes for waystones + coins are still removed
server-side (recipes_waystones.js, recipes_numismatics.js), so players
cannot craft these items even if they appear in JEI search. The only
loss is some JEI clutter.
When we identify the correct JEI hide API in KubeJS 2101.x, can add
back as kubejs/client_scripts/jei_hides.js with the right binding.
KubeJS uses Rhino as its JS engine, which doesn't support array-spread
syntax (`[...a, ...b]`). The line `[...WAYSTONE_ITEMS, ...COIN_ITEMS]
.forEach(...)` threw EvaluatorException: syntax error at jei_hides.js:46
on client launch, surfacing the KubeJS client script errors dialog.
Fix: use Array.prototype.concat() which is universal JS. Also extracted
the hide-quietly helper into a named function for readability.
/bns plot list|info|buy|release|reload. Single ~316-line file with
clear sections. Hardcoded PLOT_DEFS Map (3 example plots), ownership
state in server.persistentData.bnsPlots, best-effort Numismatics +
FTB Chunks integration (will be verified in playtest). See file
header for full design notes.
Tidying pass on the KubeJS suite before plot system V1 lands. Sets up
the file structure + conventions + diagnostics so the larger plot
system has a clean foundation.
Changes:
1. NEW kubejs/README.md
File layout doc + conventions: logging prefix [bns/<module>],
persistent-data key naming (bns* prefix), one concern per file,
performance discipline (O(1) lookups, no polling).
2. Split economy_policy.js -> recipes_waystones.js + recipes_numismatics.js
Single-concern files. recipes_waystones removes ALL waystones
crafting (welcome.js distributes the only allowed waystone instead).
recipes_numismatics removes the 5 coin-denomination crafts.
3. NEW kubejs/server_scripts/bns_admin.js
/bns admin subcommands for OP diagnostics:
- info calling player's flags+counts
- waystone-count <player> read stored count
- waystone-set <player> <n> override stored count
- reset-welcome <player> clear bnsWelcomeGranted -- replays
the welcome grant on next login
Registered via ServerEvents.commandRegistry with Brigadier tree,
permission level 2 (OP). No performance cost (operator-triggered only).
4. Logging added to waystones_policy.js + welcome.js
Every action prints `[bns/<module>] ...` so server logs can be
filtered with `journalctl ... | grep '\[bns/'`.
Performance discipline applied:
- All event-handler lookups use Set.has (O(1)), not Array.includes
- No periodic tick polling anywhere
- No network calls in event handlers
- console.info is cheap (no string format unless logged)
Bumps to 0.20.0. Plot system V1 follows in v0.21.x as a separate
multi-file submodule under server_scripts/plots/.
Resource Pack Overrides config field names extracted directly from the
mod's class files (default_packs + default_overrides confirmed via grep
on the .class strings). Config ships through defaultconfigs/ so it
seeds the player's local config on first run and respects later edits.
The 'default_position: TOP' override puts the ReCreated pack at the top
of the enabled-packs list so it takes precedence over the vanilla
ComputerCraft textures.
If the filename or schema turns out to be off when tested, it's a
one-line follow-up to fix.
Two changes per user direction:
- server.properties is reverted (resource-pack lines cleared, require=
false). No more server-pushed pack -- no prompt on join, no kick if
declined, no redundant re-download of a file the launcher already
shipped.
- Adds resource-pack-overrides (Modrinth's gold-standard "auto-enable
bundled resource packs" mod, 8.2M dl, client-only). The Computer
Craft Recreated v1.2.zip already ships in the modpack manifest
(side=client) so it's already in players' resourcepacks/ folder via
the launcher -- RPO will be configured to default-enable it.
The RPO config (`pack/overrides/config/resourcepackoverrides-client.toml`
or similar) lands in a follow-up once we've seen the generated format.
For now this commit just gets the mod into the pack. Bumps to 0.19.4.
Two design changes:
1) Every electronic CC item now requires tfmg:plastic_sheet. Plastic is
the electrical insulator and gates ALL CC tech behind TFMG's full
oil chain (crude oil -> naphtha -> distillation -> molten plastic
-> sheet). Even cable -- you can't lay wires without insulation.
2) Advanced items now embed their Basic counterpart in the recipe:
- computer_advanced contains computer_normal
- monitor_advanced contains monitor_normal
- wireless_modem_advanced contains wireless_modem_normal
- pocket_computer_advanced contains pocket_computer_normal
- turtle_advanced contains computer_advanced (which contains
computer_normal -- chained upgrade)
This makes the progression literal -- you can't skip Basic to make
Advanced. You upgrade through, paying both costs.
Other tweaks:
- Replaced create:railway_casing with create:industrial_iron_block in
the Advanced Computer recipe. Railway casing is thematically tied to
trains, not computing -- creates a weird "build trains to make a
computer" dependency. industrial_iron_block fits the server-rack
aesthetic and is a more general Create tier-3 material.
- Added plastic to disk_drive, wired_modem, printer, redstone_relay,
speaker (recipes that previously skipped it).
Bumps to 0.19.3.
Expands the v0.19.0 recipe set from 10 to 19 items and builds a deliberate
5-tier progression using richer Create + TFMG materials.
Newly overhauled items:
T1 - cable (8-output, copper_wire-heavy so bulk-laying is viable)
T3 - redstone_relay
T3 - turtle_normal
T4 - turtle_advanced
T5 - pocket_computer_normal, _advanced, _colour
Misc - wired_modem_full (block form, derived from wired_modem)
Existing items reworked with better thematic materials:
computer_normal/advanced -> now uses create:brass_casing / railway_casing
as the chassis instead of bare plastic
monitor_normal/advanced -> nixie_tube for the retro CRT, display_link
for the advanced data-binding monitor
wireless_modem_normal -> tfmg:electromagnetic_coil is the antenna,
copper_wire + aluminum_wire signal lines
wireless_modem_advanced -> constantan_spool + large_coil for high-Q
tuning -- properly end-game wireless
disk_drive -> create:cogwheel for the spinning read head
speaker / printer -> copper_sheet / cogwheel for thematic flair
Wire usage is the through-line: copper_wire in T1-T2 (cheap, used in
quantity), aluminum_wire in T3 mid-tier signal lines, constantan_wire
+ constantan_spool in T4 for high-frequency wireless. TFMG's electrical
production now genuinely gates CC progression.
Bumps pack to 0.19.1 (point release — same mod set, expanded scripts).
Mods (5 additions):
- Easy NPC 6.16.1 (3 jars: bundle + core + config_ui). Lightweight,
config-UI-driven NPC mod -- 817k downloads, NOT the heavyweight
Custom NPCs by Noppes which has no 1.21.1 NeoForge port. Players
will interact with NPCs at spawn (Plot Office land clerk + future
shop NPCs) via right-click -> dialogue.
- CC: Tweaked 1.119.0. ComputerCraft tier added for technical displays,
server stats, and player-built automation. Future plot-system V2
could use CC monitors as the central kiosk with touch buttons; V1
uses NPC + signs.
- Computer Craft: ReCreated v1.2 (resource pack, client-only). Styles
CC's computers + monitors with a brass/wooden Create aesthetic so
they don't look out of place in the pack.
KubeJS scripts:
- cc_recipes.js: Overhauls 10 CC crafting recipes to require Create
(electron_tube, precision_mechanism, rose_quartz) + TFMG (plastic
sheet, steel ingot, silicon ingot). Gates the tech tier behind
Create+industrial progression. Recipes for cables, peripheral
blocks, turtles, etc. left at default -- can iterate later.
Plot system V1 deferred to v0.20.0 -- needs its own focused effort
because of the FTB Chunks claim-transfer integration + Numismatics
inventory coin handling. Memory plan already covers the design.
The 0.18.0 economy_policy.js named 'numismatics:sundial' which doesn't
exist -- the real registry IDs are spur, bevel, cog, crown, sun. The
KubeJS warning surfaced this at startup:
Failed to read ingredient from numismatics:sundial:
Item with ID numismatics:sundial does not exist!
Updates both economy_policy.js (recipe removal) and jei_hides.js (JEI
hide) to use the correct 5-denomination list. Bumps to 0.18.1.
Adds the currency layer and the first-join experience.
Mods:
- Create: Numismatics 1.0.20 (currency, vendor blocks, piggy banks)
- Patchouli 1.21.1-93 (kept in pack for future rich manual book)
KubeJS scripts (server_scripts/):
- economy_policy.js remove ALL Waystones recipes; remove coin recipes
only (piggy banks etc. stay craftable for now)
- welcome.js first-login grant: 1 waystone + vanilla written-book
"Brass & Sigil Manual v1" (5 pages: welcome,
waystones, money, spawn plots, rules). Per-player
flag bnsWelcomeGranted in persistentData gates it.
KubeJS scripts (client_scripts/):
- jei_hides.js hide all Waystones items + 4 coin denominations from
the JEI ingredient list. Combined with the recipe
removal players never encounter these items via
normal play -- only via the welcome grant or the
bank exchange.
The written-book manual is the MVP placeholder. When more content lands
(plot system, dynamic exchange, etc.) it'll be replaced by a proper
Patchouli book authored as a tweak jar -- Patchouli's already in the
lockfile so no mod-add will be needed at that point.
Adds pack/overrides/kubejs/server_scripts/waystones_policy.js which:
- Caps regular waystones at 1 per player. Per-player count is stored in
player.persistentData and decremented on break (works correctly because
restrictedWaystones = ["PLAYER"] means only owners can break).
- Bans all 16 sharestone variants. They defeat the "build transport"
intent (solo pair-teleport) and can be placed just outside a claim
for stealth proximity access.
- Bans all 16 portstone variants pending separate design review.
- Leaves warp plates and warp scrolls untouched.
Bumps to 0.17.0 so launcher re-syncs.
The previous rule 'pack/overrides/' ignored the whole directory, which
made it impossible to re-include subpaths via ! exception (git's rule).
Narrow the ignore to 'pack/overrides/mods/' -- the only path that
Build-Tweaks.ps1 actually writes -- and drop the broken whitelist
block. Other subdirs under pack/overrides/ (defaultconfigs/, etc.) now
live in git like normal source.
Adds the Waystones override that 0.16.1 attempted (spawnInVillages =
DISABLED). Bumps to 0.16.3 so launcher caches re-sync.
.gitignore previously ignored all of pack/overrides/ because that dir is
the build output of Build-Tweaks.ps1. But defaultconfigs/ inside it holds
hand-written source-of-truth configs that should be in git (otherwise
they don't survive cross-machine deploys). Whitelisting that subdir.
Adds pack/overrides/defaultconfigs/waystones-common.toml -- the same
file the empty 0.16.1 commit was supposed to ship but couldn't because
of the .gitignore rule. Bumps to 0.16.2.
The override changes just one key:
- spawnInVillages: REGULAR -> DISABLED
All other Waystones settings stay at mod default (ACTIVATION visibility,
PLAYER restriction, empty allowedVisibilities) which already provides
the base-intrusion protections we discussed.
Ships an override of waystones-common.toml under pack/overrides/
defaultconfigs/ so first-run installs (clients + fresh servers) get the
intended defaults. NeoForge auto-copies defaultconfigs/<file> into
config/<file> on first run only -- player-tweaked configs after that
are preserved across pack updates.
The only override vs mod-default in this commit:
- spawnInVillages: REGULAR -> DISABLED
Everything else stays at mod default, which already gives the security
posture we want:
- defaultVisibility = ACTIVATION -> each player must physically visit
a waystone before they can teleport TO it. Solves the "player B
teleports into player A's base" concern without a hard per-player
placement cap (which v21.x dropped).
- restrictedWaystones = [PLAYER] -> only owners can edit their own
waystones.
- allowedVisibilities = [] -> no player UI can create global
waystones; OPs use the /waystone command for server-public ones.
Wild waystones (in the open world, not villages) stay on -- they're
public-good fast travel, not tied to bases.
Waystones 21.1.33: fast-travel teleport network.
Balm 21.0.58: required common lib for Waystones (and other BlayTheNinth mods).
Config will be tweaked in a follow-up after the server generates its
default config files. Intended config:
- worldgen village waystones DISABLED
- maxWaystonesPerPlayer = 1
- defaultPrivacy = Private (player-placed)
- OP-placed global waystones via /waystone command
Adds scripts/Check-Deps.ps1 and wires it into Deploy-Brass.ps1 as a
pre-flight gate when Stage includes Pack. The script parses each lockfile
jar's META-INF/neoforge.mods.toml directly -- the same source the loader
reads at startup -- and refuses to deploy if any [[dependencies]] block
with type=required (default) names a modId that nobody in the pack
provides.
Handles three real edge cases discovered during initial run:
1. Jar-in-jar bundled deps: Create ships Ponder, Registrate, Flywheel
embedded under META-INF/jarjar/. The script recurses into those and
counts their modIds as present, since the loader auto-loads them.
2. Language-provider jars (Kotlin for Forge) have no standard mods.toml
-- they declare via a different mechanism. Tiny slugToImplicitModId
override map (currently 1 entry) covers them.
3. Non-mod lockfile entries (shaderpacks under shaderpacks/, configs
under config/, etc.) are skipped explicitly by path prefix check.
Vanilla deps (minecraft, neoforge, forge, fabric, java, javafml, etc.)
are pre-seeded as present.
Jars cached at /tmp/bns-check-deps-cache/<sha1>.jar; second-run cost is
~1.5s. First run downloads ~150MB.
The script would have caught the v0.15.0 -> v0.15.1 incident: Slice &
Dice's jar declares kotlinforforge required in mods.toml even though
Modrinth's dep field only lists Create. The Modrinth-only check (earlier
draft) wouldn't have helped; the mods.toml-based check does.
Hotfix for 0.15.0: Slice & Dice declares 'kotlinforforge >= 5.8' as a
hard dependency and the server crashed on load without it. Adding KFF
satisfies the dep. 6.9 MB, both sides.
Two client-leaning QoL mods.
- AppleSkin 3.0.9: food + saturation tooltips. Modrinth side=optional both;
tagged "both" so server still installs (harmless, ~75KB).
- Mouse Tweaks 2.26.1: shift-drag, scroll-transfer, auto-refill, click-and-
drag stacking in inventory UI. Modrinth lists server=unsupported, so
explicitly tagged side=client -- this is the first new mod that exercises
the server-side filter from the 0.10.0 schema migration: server's sync
should skip downloading it.
Best-in-class MC profiler. Server side: /spark sampler start, /spark
heap, /spark tps. Optional client side too. ~3.5MB, both sides optional
per Modrinth -- tagged "both" so launcher syncs it too.
Preemptive insurance against duplicate-item proliferation when more
metals-producing mods are added (e.g. when Power Grid lands, or any
future Mekanism/Thermal/etc. addition). Today's pack only has TFMG as
the metals provider so AU is largely a no-op now, but ships with sane
default tag preferences that activate automatically as duplicates appear.
Tiny mod (~290 KB jar), client-optional/server-required per Modrinth.
