🌿 Wisp & Willow – Fluxia & Ritual Update

✨ New Content

🌺 Luxinia’s Flower

• New early–game Fluxia–generating flower.
• Consumes Amethyst Coal items dropped near it.
• While burning, it:
  • Generates 10 Fluxia per second, up to 800 Fluxia internal capacity.
  • Emits gentle End Rod shimmer particles to show it’s active.
• Acts as a Fluxia machine node, so it can feed directly into:
  • Willow Fluxia Pools
  • Fluxia Spitters
  • Other Fluxia–aware blocks

🔮 Ritual System

• Added a dedicated ritual recipe serializer and datagen builder.
• Ritual recipes now sync correctly to the client:
  • Uses a custom StreamCodec for grid layout, sigils, inputs, results, and Fluxia cost.
  • Fixed network encoding order that could previously crash with
    update_recipes decode errors.
• Supports:
  • Custom sigil patterns in different grid sizes.
  • Item or mob results (with configurable count).
  • Optional Fluxia requirement per ritual.

🌀 Fluxia Network & Linking

🎯 Directional Flux Linking Wand

• Linking is now directional:
  • First click = source node
  • Second click = target node
• Behavior:
  • Pools as source → distribute Fluxia to the target.
  • Spitters as source → fire Fluxia only toward the target.
• Shift + Right–Click on a Fluxia node:
  • Clears that block’s outgoing wand links.
  • Also clears the wand’s stored source.

💧 Fluxia Spitter Rework

• Spitters are now treated as MACHINE nodes in the network:
  • Pools prioritize filling Spitters before other pools.
• Links are one-way from Spitter → target:
  • No more Spitter/pool “feedback loops”.
• Spitter tick:
  • Pulls from its internal storage (respecting caps).
  • Transfers Fluxia to its linked node using shared transfer rules.
  • Renders a smooth End Rod beam all the way from Spitter to target.
• Spitter auto–rotates to face its current target when linked.

🌊 Pool & Spitter Connectivity Rules

• Pools and Spitters no longer auto–connect by adjacency:
  • They only participate in networks via wand links.
• This makes Fluxia routing explicit and predictable:
  • If there’s no wand link, there’s no Fluxia flow.

🛠 Fixes & Polish

• Fixed ritual recipes causing DecoderException on update_recipes by:
  • Aligning encode/decode order for mob result count and Fluxia requirement.
• Ensured all Fluxia storages clamp correctly to their configured capacity.
• Added extra block updates and syncing for Fluxia nodes so HUDs and client visuals refresh reliably.
• General network & linking cleanup to avoid ghost links and weird flow behavior.

If you run into odd Fluxia behavior after updating, try:

1. Breaking and replacing old Fluxia nodes (Pools, Spitters, Flowers).
2. Re-linking them with the Flux Linking Wand using the new directional rules.
