New Mechanism

• Modular equipment system: install compatible modules on armor and helmets through the equipment menu.
  • Open the menu with the grave accent key or /zerocontact equipment.
  • Use G to open the module HUD, scroll to select a module, and use H to activate it. The HUD remembers the last selection.
• Night vision and thermal effects with view masks, equip animations, and sound effects.
• Headset audio processing with sound pickup, equalization, and gunfire compression.
• MBITR radio integration with Simple Voice Chat, supporting a home channel and up to 16 scan channels.
  • Use Shift + 3 to configure an active mounted radio. Communication works within 128 blocks in the same dimension.
• Animated installation of held plates into empty front or back plate slots.
• /modular <target> <equipmentSlot> <mount_id> <module> command for installing or removing equipment modules, with slot and mount suggestions.
• Client config option to toggle audio processing; server config options for First Aid limb and helmeted-head damage factors.
• Workbench module category, improved list layout, and additional recipes for existing equipment and modules.

Data Packs & Extensions

• Reorganize built-in content into separate ammo, armor, loadout, module, and SMAT creator packs.
• Add data-driven equipment mounts and modules, configurable night vision colors and view masks, and custom headset audio profiles.
• Add per-mob headshot and bodyshot damage rules.
• Add Forge ResolveHitBodyPartEvent.Pre/Post and HitProcessEvent.Pre/Post events for body-part resolution and damage extensions.
• Legacy packs using pack_name: "zero_contact" are now skipped with a deprecation warning. Migrate them to the current pack structure and a unique pack name; check for leftover definitions after upgrading.

Compatibility

• Update temporary compatibility for TaCZ Magazines 0.2.6.
• Preserve ammo IDs and variants per cartridge, supporting mixed variants of the same caliber in detachable magazines.
• Track chambered ammunition separately so the next shot retains its ammo parameters when a magazine is removed or replaced.
• Improve magazine loading, unloading, reloading, selector overlays, and tooltips showing cartridge groups in feeding order.
• Improve First Aid body-part damage handling; limb hits no longer consume helmet, chest armor, or plate durability.

Fix & Optimize

• Fix modules disappearing after armor is unequipped on servers, and improve module capability synchronization.
• Fix multiplayer night vision animation desync, equip sound synchronization, and incorrect module durability loss.
• Improve night vision rendering and view masks, disable its animations in GUI previews, and fix rendering after switching game modes.
• Fix thermal target depth glitches and the SMAT GPNVG-18 view mask.
• Fix plate installation failing to complete, reset the installation timer, and cancel installation when the held item changes.
• Fix backpack inventory synchronization, ammo selection after refactoring, and explosion delay calculation.
• Fix TaCZ and TaCZ Magazines mixin compatibility issues and improve reload detection.
• Refactor damage processing and correct body-part and headshot factor handling.
