Replace the v0.30.x ad-hoc disable mechanisms (KubeJS server script,
datapack recipe override, KubeJS client-side JEI hide -- which was
broken on this KubeJS build) with a single proper tool:
- **Item Obliterator 2.3.0** + dep **Necronomicon API 1.6.0**
Declarative JSON config to remove items from inventories,
creative tabs, all recipes (including modded custom recipe
types), villager trades, and JEI. Exactly the missing capability.
Config: pack/overrides/defaultconfigs/item_obliterator.json5
Blacklists:
alexsmobs:transmutation_table
alexsmobs:shattered_dimensional_carver
Removed (no longer needed):
- pack/overrides/kubejs/server_scripts/disable_alexsmobs_features.js
(Item Obliterator handles transmutation_table recipe removal
and right-click cancel automatically)
- pack/overrides/world/datapacks/bns-fuel/data/alexsmobs/
capsid_recipes/shattered_dimensional_carver.json
(Item Obliterator handles modded recipe removal too)
Both items now correctly:
- Don't appear in JEI search / item list
- Don't appear in creative tabs
- Have no working recipe path
- Can't be right-clicked / used
- Get scrubbed from inventories on join
The Void Worm boss + regular Dimensional Carver still work --
nothing else in Alex's Mobs is affected.
Verified live: both mods discovered, Necronomicon read our config
file successfully ("File exists, reading config"), Item Obliterator
loaded with the blacklist.
Note: config schema is v2; v1 configs get overwritten by the mod's
default. Always write configVersion: 2.

Brass & Sigil KubeJS scripts
All custom server behaviour lives here. Files in this tree ship via the
modpack manifest (see scripts/Build-Pack.ps1 — kubejs/ is in
managedRoots), get synced to both server and client installs, and are
loaded by KubeJS on startup.

Conventions
- Logging prefix: every console line uses
[bns/<module>]so server logs can be filtered withjournalctl -u brass-sigil-server.service | grep '\[bns/'. Keeps our output separate from mod output. - One concern per file. Recipe overhauls live in
recipes_<modname>. Block/item policy goes in a<thing>_policy.js. Don't mix recipe removal with event listeners in the same file. - Persistent player data keys are prefixed
bnsto avoid clashing with other mods' use ofplayer.persistentData. Currently used keys:bnsWaystoneCount(int) — seewaystones_policy.jsbnsWelcomeGranted(bool) — seewelcome.js
- Performance: hot-path event handlers (BlockEvents.placed/broken,
PlayerEvents.loggedIn) must stay O(1). Use
Setfor ID lookups, never Array.includes inside an event handler. Avoid Modrinth/network calls in event handlers — never. No periodic-tick polling unless absolutely necessary. - Server commands are registered under the
/bnsnamespace (/bns admin ..., future:/bns plot ...). Seebns_admin.jsfor the registration pattern.
Diagnostics
When something looks wrong in-game, first port of call:
/bns admin info— prints active flags + counts for the running player/bns admin waystone-count <player>— read stored count/bns admin reset-welcome <player>— re-trigger the first-join grant- Server log:
journalctl -u brass-sigil-server.service -f | grep '\[bns/'
