Forgeborne Odyssey

v0.1.11 Changelog

New Features

Tar Kiln System

• Added Tar Kiln block — place by right-clicking dirt/grass blocks with an empty hand. Build a charcoal ring around it, ignite, and use it to dry-distill birch bark into birch tar
• Added Charcoal Ring block — place around the Tar Kiln's perimeter, ignite to provide heat
• Added Birch Bark — obtained by right-clicking birch logs with a flint knife or crude flint knife
• Added Birch Tar — a natural adhesive used for hafting stone tools

Crude Stone Tool System (Knapping)

• Hold a Surface Cobblestone in each hand and right-click to knap them together. Probability breakdown:
  • 20% nothing (both stones shatter)
  • 30% 1–2 Flint Flakes
  • 12.5% Crude Flint Knife
  • 12.5% Crude Flint Shovel
  • 12.5% Crude Flint Sickle
  • 12.5% Crude Stone Spear
• Added Crude Flint Knife, Crude Flint Shovel, Crude Flint Sickle, Crude Stone Spear (including thrown entity + renderer)
• Crude Flint Knife is now included in the forge:tools/knives tag, usable for collecting grass fiber

New Surface Cobblestone Interactions

• Sneak + right-click on a knappable stone surface (Stone, Granite, Andesite, Diorite, Deepslate, Tuff, Basalt, Calcite, Dripstone Block, Sandstone, Obsidian, etc.) with a Surface Cobblestone: consumes 1 cobblestone, 60% chance for 2 flint flakes, 40% for 1
• Right-click with a Cobblestone Hammer on a knappable stone surface: auto-consumes Surface Cobblestone from inventory, 80% chance for 3 flint flakes, 20% for 2

New Interactions

• Right-clicking grass blocks with an empty hand now collects Grass Fiber directly (no tool required, with particle effects)
• Right-clicking dirt blocks with an empty hand now places a Tar Kiln
• Crude Flint Shovel can now also be used to dig Pit Kilns and collect clay (same functionality as the regular Flint Shovel)

Creative Tab

• raw_clay is no longer filtered out of the "Ore Fragments" tab
• Added 9 rock rubble variants (Shale, Sandstone, Limestone, Marble, Quartzite, Gabbro, Quartz Vein, Sericitized, Chlorite) to the Ore Fragments tab

Mechanics Improvements

Pit Kiln

• Support for direct greenware loading without a grate (place greenware at Stage 0, skipping grate installation)
• Grate can now be installed at Stage 1 (more flexible build order)
• Added ambient fire sound effects during burning

Anvil (Forging System)

• Mass conservation fix: when crushing ore, the total quality is now evenly distributed across all output items (grains + grog), rather than each output inheriting the full quality value

Fire Pit

• Removed direct flint-and-steel / fire charge ignition logic from FirePitBlock, now unified under FireDrillItem

Ignition System Refactor

• Removed FireCrackMiningHandler.onIgniteWithFlint, all ignition is now handled centrally by FireDrillItem.releaseUsing() (with charge mechanic)
• Fire Drill now also supports igniting Charcoal Rings and Tar Kilns

Quern

• Flint Pebble (flint_pebble) can now also be ground into a Polished Axe Head, same as regular Flint

Sling

• Copper, Silver, and Gold Beads can now be used as heavy ammunition

Recipe Changes

• Bone Fish Hook: changed from shapeless to shaped (Bone + Flint Flake)
• Fire-Crack Mining Guide: material changed from Book to Rawhide
• Fire Mouth: temper material changed from temper_grog to temper_materials tag (more flexible)
• Flint Knife / Shovel / Sickle / Stone Axe / Stone Hoe / Stone Spear: recipes now include Birch Tar and Sticks as hafting materials

UI / Text Adjustments

• Advancement sparks_fly icon changed from Flint and Steel to Fire Drill
• Global text color standardization: §7(gray) → §8(dark gray), §e(yellow) → §6(gold), §a(green) → §2(dark green)
• Title color changed from #2F4F4F (dark slate gray) to #000055 (dark blue)
• Anvil messages: "temper grog" simplified to "grog"
• Grease Torch now has ambient fire sound effects via animateTick

New Localization Entries

• Added English and Chinese translations for Tar Kiln, Charcoal Ring, Birch Bark, Birch Tar, 4 crude stone tools, and all related tooltips
