Adds the v0.30.0 combat-feel batch:
- Better Combat 2.3.2 -- directional attacks, multi-hit swings,
weapon-type animations. Data-driven attack profiles so Create,
CBC, Ars weapons all get appropriate swings automatically. No
new weapons or recipes -- pure mechanics overhaul. First-person
view fully supported as of 2.0.4.
- Combat Roll 2.0.6 -- dodge roll on double-tap with brief invuln
+ roll-related attributes/enchants. Same author and shares deps
with Better Combat, explicitly designed to work alongside.
- Alex's Mobs port 1.22.17 -- wide nature-themed mob variety
(~70+ creatures). Original mod stops at 1.20.1; this is the
community port for 1.21.1, 187k downloads, recently updated.
Deps added with the batch (all new to pack):
- Cloth Config 15.0.140 (BC + Combat Roll)
- playerAnimator 2.0.4 (BC + Combat Roll)
- Citadel port 2.7.6 (Alex's Mobs)
Verified live: 0.30.0 synced, all 6 jars discovered, BC registered
3007-byte weapon attribute table, Combat Roll loaded, Alex's Mobs
adding datapack listeners. KubeJS 0 errors, port 25565 binds.
The v0.31.0 batch (Twilight Forest + Aether) is parked for later --
holding until plot/economy work is running so players have reason
to leave spawn for those dimensions.

Adds Improved Village Placement 1.1.1 (Modrinth). Forces villages
to spawn on flat terrain instead of clipping into hillsides /
floating mid-air on slopes. Tiny mod (34KB). Required dep
Lithostitched is already in the pack at 1.7.2.
Verified live: mod loaded, server boots clean, port 25565 binds.

Without this entry, lava buckets get the vanilla bucket-burn fallback
of 20000 ticks each — which made lava more powerful than refined
TFMG kerosene/naphtha despite being free and trivially obtainable.
Setting lava to 8000 ticks matches crude_oil exactly: both are the
raw entry-tier fuels you can scoop without any infrastructure, and
the player has to commit to a refining setup to unlock the higher
tiers.
Solid fuels (coal, charcoal, blaze rods, etc.) continue to work via
realisticTrains' chest/barrel pathway -- no datapack entry needed.

Revert the custom tier-strict + user-error-forgiveness tuning shipped
in v0.29.0 and use the mod's shipped defaults instead:
squibChance 0.0 -> 0.25
barrelChargeBurstChance 0.0 -> 0.2
interruptedIgnitionChance 0.0 -> 0.33
overloadBurstChance 1.0 -> 0.5
failureExplosionPower 0.0 -> 2.0
disableAllCannonFailure stays false. Tier balance is still preserved
(material maxSafePropellantStress is what gates overload). The
difference is failures are now probabilistic per the mod author's
intended balance, and the explosion has its default power.

Two related gameplay tweaks:
1. Train fuel requirement (Steam 'n' Rails)
- Set realisticTrains = true in railways-server.toml.
Trains now consume fuel from a Fuel Tank (liquid) or solid fuels
in chests/barrels on the contraption. realisticFuelTanks stays
true so tanks won't accept water/junk.
- Ship a datapack bns-fuel/ that defines TFMG fluids as proper
liquid fuels at tiered burn rates:
crude_oil 8000 ticks/bucket (raw, abundant -- entry)
furnace_gas 12000 ticks/bucket (cheap by-product)
naphtha 24000 ticks/bucket (mid refined)
kerosene 24000 ticks/bucket (mid refined)
gasoline 36000 ticks/bucket (top refined)
diesel 48000 ticks/bucket (top refined, longest)
Vanilla lava bucket still works via bucket-burn fallback
(20000 ticks). Tier curve incentivises building a real refinery.
2. CBC tier-preserving cannon safety
- Revert the nuclear disableAllCannonFailure=true switch shipped
in v0.28 hotfix -- it killed the bronze/steel/nethersteel tier
balance because overloaded cannons fired without consequence.
- Per-lever config that protects against random RNG losses while
keeping the tier mechanic intact:
disableAllCannonFailure = false
squibChance = 0.0 (no random projectile-stuck)
barrelChargeBurstChance = 0.0 (forgive misplaced charges)
interruptedIgnitionChance = 0.0 (forgive gapped loads)
overloadBurstChance = 1.0 (TIER STRICT -- exceed your
cannon's rated propellant
stress = lose the cannon)
failureExplosionPower = 0.0 (no collateral blast when it
does die from overload)
- Effect: a cannon built to spec and used within its
maxSafePropellantStress is immortal. Overloading dies cleanly
per the material's failureMode, no fortress damage. User error
(squib/misplace/gap) doesn't destroy expensive builds.
Stress units NOT supported for trains: verified by inspecting Rails
and Create bytecode, nothing consumes SU for train movement. Liquid
fuel is the supported mechanism.
Verified live: server boots clean, port 25565 binds, KubeJS loads
0 errors, Minecraft auto-enables the bns-fuel datapack, Rails
initializes the LiquidFuelManager reload listener.

Cannons are expensive to build; users were losing them to RNG
self-destruction (squib, barrel charge burst, overload, interrupted
ignition, catastrophic failure). Per-cannon failure is configurable
via a single master switch in createbigcannons-server.toml:
[failure]
disableAllCannonFailure = true
This zeroes out all six failure paths in one go. Applied to the live
server and tracked here under defaultconfigs/ so future server resets
preserve it.

Adds two mods on top of v0.27.0:
- Create: Steam 'n' Rails 0.2.0+neoforge-mc1.21.1 (stable). The
official Steam 'n' Rails team skipped 1.21.1, so this is the
"Porters of Railways" community port — actively maintained,
310k downloads on the beta line and 0.2.0 just hit stable.
Brings train QoL: track tools, semaphores, conductor cap,
smokestacks, narrow-gauge tracks, etc.
- Copycats+ aeronautics weight 1.1.1. Small interop mod so
copycat blocks contribute weight to Create: Aeronautics
contraptions instead of being treated as massless. ~15KB.
All deps satisfied by mods already in the pack (Create, Copycats+,
Sable, Create: Aeronautics).
Tested live: server boots, port 25565 binds, KubeJS loads 0/0 errors,
aerocopycats logs HELLO FROM COMMON SETUP, Railways registers
55+53+238 entries across its three creative tabs. No new crashes.
Known noise: Steam 'n' Rails ships optional loot tables for tracks
of wood types from many other mods (TwilightForest, BYG, TFC, Blue
Skies, Hex Casting, BoP, etc.). Mods absent from this pack produce
~276 'Unknown registry key' ERROR lines once at boot. Harmless —
loot tables for items that don't exist just fail to parse and get
skipped. Standard behavior for Rails on lean packs.

Now that v0.27.0 ships kubejs_create, the high-level
event.recipes.create.pressing(out, in) builder works, replacing the
raw event.custom({type: 'create:pressing', ...}) JSON shim we needed
before.
Verified live on the server -- recipe loads cleanly:
[bns/supplementaries_bridges] added flax -> string press recipe
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three small Create addons, no overlap with current 18-mod Create stack:
+ kubejs-create v2101.3.1-build.18
Recipe builders for KubeJS scripts. Will replace the raw
Create:pressing JSON in supplementaries_bridges.js with a
cleaner event.recipes.create.* call.
+ create-encased v1.8.1-ht1
Encased/cased variants of Create kinetic blocks (shafts,
gearboxes, cogwheels in compact casings) for cleaner builds.
+ bellsandwhistles v0.4.7-1.21.1
Train whistles, bells, signal lights, station decoration.
All three already deployed live; pack-version.json bumped, MC
server restarted to sync. No mod-load errors.

The cold ZFS pool is a backup tier only — hot data (MC world, Gitea,
Directus DB, containers) lives on NVMe LVM, not ZFS. So ARC's default of
50% RAM was wasted: nothing it could cache was hot enough to matter, and
the ~16GB cache crowded MC out of RAM, pushing 2.4GB into swap.
This file lives in the repo for reproducibility; it gets dropped into
/etc/modprobe.d/ on the host and applied immediately via
/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_{max,min}.
Effect on glados:
before: used=27/31GB, free=748MB, ARC=15.6GB
after: used=~10GB, free=~14GB, ARC=1.0GB (1-2GB range)

The wake loop's daily-times branch was firing one missed slot per minute
on service restart. With a schedule like "00:00,04:00,08:00,12:00,16:00,
20:00" and a restart at 19:00, the wrapper would catch up by firing 5
backups at 1-minute intervals -- each a full-world zip of the same
in-memory world. Pure waste: the live world hasn't diverged across the
missed clock slots, the snapshots would be near-identical, and the rapid
save-off/save-on churn impacts player experience.
Source comment already documented the intended behaviour ("Doesn't catch
up if the server was off when a slot passed -- daily/interval backups
don't need replay logic.") but the code didn't implement it.
Fix: in Start(), pre-populate _firedToday with all times <= now so the
wake loop only fires future slots for the rest of today.
Tested live on glados: switched schedule to clock-aligned daily-times
after deploying the fix, zero catch-up backups fired in the 90s window
after restart (vs 5+ before the fix).
