WAIT WAIT ILL FINISH THIS DEVLOG IN A SEC STARDANCE IS YELLING AT ME
as i was saying….

Material Plates

I’ve added a new item: Material Plates. They can be made with a chisel tool - hold a chisel in one hand and a material that can become a plate (most metals and gems) in the other. One block turns into 3 plates, 3 items turns into one plate, with respect for the chisel’s material and mining level (e.g. iron chisel cannot carve a netherite plate).

I tried to get it to tint the texture of the plate to that of the material it has, but it turns out I dunno how to use Minecraft’s weird ass image system and also the average colour of diamond looks like turquoise turd. So instead, I’ve just put the original item texture underneath the plate’s texture in the corner.

These are intended to be where you’d carve your runes. They can be inserted into currently not implemented machines to execute the instructions based on those runes

the voices

There is a ghost in my Minecraft instance I swear. It keeps changing the ConditionalTooltipComponents of my chisels. I don’t know what’s happening. Nothing makes sense anymore. There are only two lines of code in the whole mod that should be changing those.

On the topic of paranormal activity, I’ve added a nice markdown file named ‘the voices’ to the Github root directory. It details all the stuff that’s pissed me off over development. Will be a funny read when it’s done, hopefully.
