Version 1.3
Neoforge 1.21.8
The most technical and stable version of the mod is out! Try the new Cork Oak Wood set or build the best storage system to date with Iron and Copper Pipes! Is all up to you!
Read for more!
This release is stable, and bug free! It is also a Bridge-Version to future updates, which means that previously added features have been checked and eventually tweaked to fit the game!
This entire update revolves around the Copper Age Drop but also on parity with Minecraft Vanilla; while it contains some technical additions, (like the Redstone Switch), this mod's version aims to expand (as always) the building possibilities.
Enhance your builds with:
Pale Moss slab
Coarse dirt slab
Pale Pumpkins
Pale Bookshelves, Ladders and Tiles
Two new Tinted sets for Blueshroom Fibers and Glowshroom Fibers (respectfully Magenta and Brown)
Iron Plate Grates, Chiseled Iron Plate Block, Fence Gates, Buttons and Pipes
Waxed Copper Wall Lanterns, Fans, Fences, Fence Gates, Buttons and Pipes (at all Oxidation levels)
Nether Brick Fence Gates
Glass Jar
Fireflies Glass Jar
Potted Blueshroom and Glowshroom Fungus, Fibers and Grown Fibers
Potted Windy, Spooky and Cork Oak saplings
Pale Pumpkins
Cork Oak and Cork Bark
Frozen Bushes
Pale Pumpkins generate in the Pale Garden biome. Their group is very rare and the plant itself can not be farmed due to its delicate climate needs, however it seems that Phantoms are scared of it!
By carving the pumpkin or creating a Pale Jack o'Lantern is possible to make scarecrows, (in this case scarephantoms!).

WHAT'S NEW?
Critical changes to Fireflies Bushes: as Mojang officially added this block to the game, my own version will become a biome-exclusive block. It can be now found in the Overgrown Forest and in Lush Caves (rare).
Reduced Container dimension for the Dark Vase:
Previously the Dark Vase could contain up to 256 items, (4 stacks); now it can contain up to 64 items. This important change was made to come up to performance stability and prepare the future update, (version 1.5)
Removed Saddle Recipe as it was added in Minecraft 1.21.8
Incremented Blueshroom Fungus variant probability, 0.30 to 0.35
Button Recipes and Pressure Plate Recipes now allow as output 16 items (even vanilla ones).
Ladders recipes now allow as output 6 items.
Minecraft's Ladder has been renamed to Oak Ladder and follows a different crafting recipe.
In order to see the names changes you'll need to activate the additional (and always included) resource pack.
Grown Blueshroom and Glowshroom Fibers can now be obtained using silk touch; in addition to this, those items appear in the Creative Inventory in the Decorations Tab
Treasure chests can now be found in Overgrown Forests
Glowing Obsidian Clusters now have less chances to generate in Nether Wastes
Dark Vases now break if pushed by a piston
Diamond Adrenaline Advancement is now a Goal and it is visible in the Advancements tab
Renamed the Far Lands Advancement
Changed Far Lands Advancement description
Far Lands Advancement can now be obtained by also traveling at least 10000 blocks.
Removed Zombie Horse from Overgrown Forests
Removed Painting to Item Frame Recipe
Removed some recipes for bricks which involved smelting Mossy derivatives of materials (nonsense)
Removed Italian translation as it is a very time-demanding feature.
Overworld Quartz Ore will drop from 1 to 5 experience points if broken.
Removed the Chisel
Introduced the new Chiseling System which will be a huge feature in version 1.4
For now it contains Iron Chisel and its upgrades, (command-only at the moment), and works perfectly as intended, meaning that it will be fully released for testing right after Version 1.3 will be out!
Optimized code performance
Cleaned code
Thanks to MCreator, the computing demand has been optimized. Now the mod should load faster and not be laggy.
PALE PUMPKINS
CORK OAK
FROZEN BUSHES
The Cork Oak is an ancient tree which can be found in Savannas. Its logs can not be ignited by fire and the Bark can be used to make Glass Jars!
The Frozen Bush grows in Cold Biomes and can be picked using Silk Touch. When placed in warmer biomes it slowly changes to a normal bush.
In order to use it as Frozen you need to wax it, (as it was a Copper Block)
Redstone Switch
Iron Pipe
Copper Pipe (at all Oxidation Levels)
The Redstone Switch is a new redstone-based block similar to repeaters. Crafted from copper, stone and redstone, it allows players to invent new wiring systems!
In fact the "Switch" can only receive redstone power from two repeaters placed on two sides, (left and right), and produces a redstone signal of 7 on the remaining free sides of itself.
Why is it special? Essentially it is an AND / OR switch!
Its standard mode is AND, the secondary one is OR.
When the first mode is set, it will need both redstone sources to be active; while with the second mode, only one source is needed.
In order to change the "wiring mode" a player needs to click on the Redstone Switch.
Fixed the generation of dirt gold clusters in the Overgrown Forest (there were too many of them!)
Fixed Glowshroom Fungus in-game name
Fixed a duplication bug related to ropes
Fixed a placement bug related to Wall Lanterns
Fixed timing for the reaction between the Purple-Tinted Blueshroom Fibers Blocks and the new Magenta one.
Re-Introduced recipes for Magenta-Tinted Blueshroom Fibers Blocks
Fixed Tooltips for Purple and Magenta Tinted Blueshroom Fibers Blocks
Fixed Tooltip for Orange-Tinted Glowshroom Fibers Trapdoor
Fixed block-flammability parameter for EVERY block of the mod. This was a crucial point in the management of which block could be ignited by fire or not; now every block has the right values.
Fixed a huge placement bug for Saplings and Funguses! Now they spawn their respective tree/fungus in the correct position.
Fixed some recipes tags
Fixed a huge bug which prevented the unlocking of recipes (of all mod's items)
All blocks now have the right "breaking-values" and require specific tools to be broken.
Essentially, every block now behave as a Minecraft Vanilla Block.
Fixed the "Solid Button Hitboxes" problem which caused entities to not pass through buttons.
Fixed Opuntia Ficus Indica drop when mined with a Silk Touch enchanted tool.
Reduced Dirt Gold Clusters size in rivers.
This special block acts like a hopper, with some differences:
It does not interrupt the item flow when powered by redstone
It has visible arrow for directions
Interacts with chests, trapped chests, pipes (of course), droppers, dispensers and barrels
It does not interact with Hoppers
Hoppers are able to put items inside the Pipes, however Pipes can not do the same thing with hoppers.
It can transport items in all directions.
It can transport items vertically
