Matt c635de501a pack: v0.30.2 — disable Alex's Mobs Transmutation Table + Shattered Carver
KubeJS server script that:

  1. Removes the crafting recipe for alexsmobs:transmutation_table.
     The Transmutation Table converts items freely with XP cost,
     which competes with Ars Nouveau's depth and undermines the
     Numismatics-based plot economy. No new tables can be made;
     no existing tables exist on the world yet.

  2. Cancels the right-click action on
     alexsmobs:shattered_dimensional_carver. The item teleports the
     user 1,000,000 blocks in a random direction -- breaks any
     server-side world-boundary assumption, drops the player into
     unloaded chunks far from the rest of the world. The item can
     still be produced (the Capsid-shatters-Carver interaction is
     a block reaction, not a recipe we can remove cleanly), but it
     does nothing on use and sends an explanation to the player.

The Void Worm boss + regular Dimensional Carver (return-home
teleport) stay enabled. Players can still fight the boss and earn
the home-recall item, just not the world-bounding-breaking variant.

Verified live: KubeJS loaded script in 3ms, removed recipe at
recipe-event time, server bound to 25565.

Brass & Sigil KubeJS scripts

All custom server behaviour lives here. Files in this tree ship via the modpack manifest (see scripts/Build-Pack.ps1kubejs/ 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 with journalctl -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 bns to avoid clashing with other mods' use of player.persistentData. Currently used keys:
    • bnsWaystoneCount (int) — see waystones_policy.js
    • bnsWelcomeGranted (bool) — see welcome.js
  • Performance: hot-path event handlers (BlockEvents.placed/broken, PlayerEvents.loggedIn) must stay O(1). Use Set for 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 /bns namespace (/bns admin ..., future: /bns plot ...). See bns_admin.js for the registration pattern.

Diagnostics

When something looks wrong in-game, first port of call:

  1. /bns admin info — prints active flags + counts for the running player
  2. /bns admin waystone-count <player> — read stored count
  3. /bns admin reset-welcome <player> — re-trigger the first-join grant
  4. Server log: journalctl -u brass-sigil-server.service -f | grep '\[bns/'
