Graves auto-equip all equipment types ​

Collecting items from a grave now automatically restores armor, baubles, GalactiCraft gear, and cosmetic armor to their correct slots. If the original slot is taken, the item goes into any other slot that fits it, then into your inventory - and stays in the grave if there is no room anywhere.

Shipped in: OpenBlocks #55, OpenBlocks #52, OpenBlocks #48

JourneyMap 6 support across mods ​

Full JourneyMap 6 support has been added to Navigator, VisualProspecting, ServerUtilities, TCNodeTracker, and GregTech while retaining compatibility with JourneyMap 5 and Xaero's Minimap. Ore veins, node tracking and power-failure sites now use native JourneyMap 6 markers, while fluid and claim coverage draws as native overlays, all with zoom-aware labels and icons.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7596, Navigator #20, ServerUtilities #333, TCNodeTracker #17, VisualProspecting #104, Share-Where-I-am #14

LATEX cable coating multiblock ​

Added LATEX, a new HV multiblock that coats IV+ cables with Elastic Supercomposite Rubber. It replaces the Basic Cable Coater and the Advanced Cable Coater I, II and III, which are removed from the game - any you have placed or are holding disappear. Cable recipes stay in the Assembler. An Elastic Singularity slotted into the controller upgrades it to UV tier and lets it take any number of Multi-Amp or Laser energy hatches; without one it takes a single Multi-Amp hatch and no laser. Rubber can no longer be duplicated through cable maceration recycling.

Pseudo Star endgame progression ​

Added Pseudo Star and Cosmic Solder as new endgame crafting components. Pseudo Stars now replace Nuclear Stars in UXV Emitter, Sensor, and Field Generator recipes, adding a Black Hole Compressor step. A new alternate autoclave recipe for Nuclear Stars using Infinity Plasma eases the endgame bottleneck.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7732, GT5-Unofficial #7618, GT5-Unofficial #6843, GT5-Unofficial #6655

Soulbound and Terrasteel armor augments ​

Added two mechanical armor augments: Soul Tether and Terrestrial Enhancement. The Soulbound augment lets armor pieces return to your inventory after death. Crafting recipes for both augments are now available, and Terrasteel helmets with goggles can be converted to plain versions for infusion compatibility.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7446, NewHorizonsCoreMod #1917, GT5-Unofficial #7819, GT5-Unofficial #7122

Active Transformer throughput UI ​

Active Transformers now show a real-time throughput widget estimating how much power is flowing through each unit in your laser backbone.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #4986

Add Matter Cluster Decompressor ​

Added the Matter Cluster Decompressor, a new machine that converts matter clusters back into their component items and fluids. It is meant for the huge clusters that GT machines drop instead of thousands of loose items - note that only GregTech or AE2 automation can pull items back out, though any pipe can drain the fluids.

Shipped in: Avaritia #73, Avaritia #70, GT5-Unofficial #7834

AE2 interface names show circuits and non-consumed items ​

AE2 interface names for input buses, single-block machines, and hatches now display physical Integrated Circuits and non-consumed recipe inputs like molds. The Crafting Input Bus (ME) now lists its name over several WAILA lines instead of one very wide one.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7853, GT5-Unofficial #7769, GT5-Unofficial #7546

Asteroid exclusion around chaos islands ​

Added a configurable exclusion zone around Draconic Evolution chaos islands that prevents GT asteroids from spawning there. A new API in Draconic Evolution exposes nearby island coordinates, and GT5-Unofficial uses it to protect a default 200-block radius around each island.

Shipped in: Draconic-Evolution #103, GT5-Unofficial #7034

Chisel terracotta variations ​

Added chisel variations for terracotta and all 16 stained terracotta colors - 26 patterns each, with textures ported from upstream Chisel. A follow-up fixed the last ten patterns of each color, which could not be selected in the chisel.

Shipped in: Chisel #72, Chisel #68

Circuit Computation Singularities ​

Added fifteen Computation Singularities, one per GregTech voltage tier from ULV to MAX, plus a sixteenth ERV (Error) tier that is disabled for now and reserved for future temporal-mainframe circuits, and a Blank Computational Singularity used to make them. Robotic Singularity has been renamed to Arithmetic Singularity to reflect its new role in the combination chain.

Shipped in: Eternal-Singularity #15, Universal-Singularities #20, Universal-Singularities #18

Configurable mob spawn control in claims ​

Claimed chunks can now have mob spawning disabled server-wide or per team, with a choice of which of the four creature categories (monsters, animals, ambient, water) to block. Animal breeding now works correctly in claims where mob spawning is turned off.

Shipped in: ServerUtilities #325, ServerUtilities #277

Cutting Machine superfluid support ​

The Cutting Machine now accepts Dimensionally Shifted Superfluid as a faster alternative to lubricant. Superfluid recipes run 2.5x faster and use at most 10L per recipe, against 250L of lubricant.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #5725, GT5-Unofficial #5707

Fancy fluid bars in Waila tooltips ​

Fluid tanks now display visual progress bars with gradient backgrounds in Waila tooltips, showing fill level at a glance. The new renderer is used by GregTech's Quantum and Super Tanks and, via WAILAPlugins, by any block exposing a standard fluid tank; empty tanks now show an empty bar instead of being skipped.

Glowing GT Ores and New Infused Stone ​

Draconium and Awakened Draconium, Uranium, Plutonium, Electrum Flux, Cosmic Neutronium and the Infused Stone ores now glow in the dark. Infused Stone also has a new animated texture.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7239, GT5-Unofficial #7225

GuideNH welcome popup for new players ​

New players now see a welcome popup the first time they open GuideNH, explaining what it is and how to use it. It appears once, and the page itself tells you how to bring it back: re-enable Welcome Popup in the GuideNH config.

Shipped in: GuideNH #48, GuideNH #39

Matter Manipulator copies OpenComputers devices ​

Matter Manipulator can now copy and paste OpenComputers components, including APUs in Quantum Computer racks, EEPROMs (with data), and loot floppies. Block orientation is preserved correctly during paste operations.

Shipped in: MatterManipulator #71, MatterManipulator #48, MatterManipulator #47, MatterManipulator #66

MEOutput settings in Matter Manipulator ​

The Matter Manipulator keeps up with GregTech's rebuilt ME output hatches; copying and emptying them works as before.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #5853, MatterManipulator #22

Quest book color toggle option ​

Added an accessibility-focused color toggle in quest book settings that lets you disable colored text while keeping bold, italic, and underline formatting.

Shipped in: BetterQuesting #192, BetterQuesting #189

Russian translations added or corrected across seven mods ​

AngerMod, BetterLoadingScreen, Gravitation Suite Neo, HoloInventory, and Yamcl now have new Russian (ru_RU) language support, and existing Russian translations in IronChest and IronTanks were corrected.

Shipped in: AngerMod #15, BetterLoadingScreen #32, Gravitation-Suite-Neo #31, HoloInventory #57, Yamcl #8, ironchest #41, Irontanks #17

Spinmatron-2737 ​

The Spinmatron-2737 is a new centrifuge for ZPM and beyond: a 17x17x17 multiblock with the controller at the front centre of the ninth layer, built in four structure tiers of Naquadah Alloy, Cosmic Neutronium, Infinity and White Dwarf Matter. It runs at 3x speed for 70% of the EU, gains 2 turbine slots per structure tier and 4 parallels per turbine tier, and skips any number of tiers, with overclocks capped at hatch tier + 1. It burns Kerosene at 10 L/s per recipe tier; Biocatalyzed Propulsion Fluid instead gives a 1.25x parallel multiplier. Light mode adds 100% speed but caps recipes at voltage tier - 3, Standard changes nothing, and Heavy divides parallels by 32 for 16x the EU, needs a tier 3 structure, and is the only way to run some recipes, including the space-time separation that moved off the Forge Hammer.

Light mode now keeps full parallels instead of losing some. Heavy mode used to powerfail on space-time separation, where the 16x cost overflowed an int. A stocking hatch feeding a Spinmatron duplicated fluids, and its recipes only accepted the "Any UV Circuit" item rather than any UV circuit. Turbines render the right way round however the controller is turned or flipped, turbine hatches place by survival autobuild, the tooltip lists the tier 4 structure it was missing, and the machine has sound effects.

Spray can dyeing for Ender Storage ​

GregTech spray cans (regular and infinite) can now dye deployed Ender Chests and Ender Tanks. The Infinite Spray Can can copy individual color segments with middle mouse button.

Shipped in: EnderStorage #28, GT5-Unofficial #7651

Steam multiblock GUI visual overhaul ​

Steam multiblocks now have themed ModularUI2 GUIs with styled elements and an animated steam pressure gauge showing real-time pressure levels.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #5165, GT5-Unofficial #5164

T search finds covers and their contents ​

The T search (find items in world) now detects covers like solar covers and Tesla covers on machines. It also searches inside Item Holder covers, so items stored in them are discoverable too.

Shipped in: FindIt #32, FindIt #31

UEV-MAX voltage coils and recipes ​

Added the missing high-tier voltage coils (UEV through MAX), plus three new fine wires (Celestial Tungsten, Rhugnor and Dragonblood) to craft the UEV, UIV and UMV ones. UEV+ Energy and Dynamo Hatches now use two coils of their own tier instead of stacks of UHV coils, and the UIV/UMV Neutron Accelerators gained the tier-appropriate coils they were missing.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #6385, GT5-Unofficial #6366

Assembler Recipes for Swords and Spikes ​

Added Assembler recipes for wooden, iron, gold and diamond swords and for the matching ExtraUtilities spikes, so they can be mass-produced from AE2 patterns without hand crafting.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #7665, GT5-Unofficial #7663, GT5-Unofficial #7704

Credits screen accessible from main menu ​

The main menu has a new button that opens the GTNH credits screen, using a new Custom Main Menu action type that lets menu buttons talk to other mods.

Shipped in: Custom-Main-Menu #11, GTNH-Credits #3

ModularUI2 theme support ​

ModularUI2 picked up upstream's widget-theme rework, and mods have started exposing new themeable properties on top of it. BetterQuesting and GT5-Unofficial have added theme properties for quest line arrows and unlocalized value displays.

Shipped in: BetterQuesting #209, GT5-Unofficial #6318, ModularUI2 #47, ModularUI2 #44, ModularUI2 #43, ModularUI2 #42, ModularUI2 #40, GT5-Unofficial #5411

Thaumometer hint text for mod aspects ​

Scanning items with the Thaumometer now shows helpful hint text for aspects added by GregTech, Forbidden Magic, Magic Bees, Thaumic Boots, and Avaritia. Each hint is a short description of what the aspect represents, shown when you scan something containing an aspect you have not discovered yet.

Shipped in: Avaritia #66, ForbiddenMagic #21, GT5-Unofficial #5256, MagicBees #57, ThaumicBoots #45

The GT Coke Oven ​

GregTech now has its own Coke Oven: a 3x3x3 shell of Coke Oven Bricks with a hollow interior, a controller on the front centre and a Coke Oven Hatch that can replace any brick. It turns coal into coke and produces creosote oil, needs no power, and has its own recipes and NEI page. Right-clicking the controller with a container pulls creosote out. It replaced the Railcraft oven in the Industrial Coke Oven's own recipe, and Coke Oven Bricks now craft 3x3 into 2x2.

The rest of the cycle was fixes to it and to the industrial version: a controller that leaked its hatch list, fluids spilled when clicked with a bucket, hatch textures that did not update on a screwdriver right-click, an NPE when extracting from an empty oven, new casing textures, a tooltip that said Coke Oven Casings where it meant Coke Oven Bricks, and a projector that now auto-places every slice of the Industrial Coke Oven. The Railcraft Coke Oven's NEI page shows readable times.

Tooltip theme inheritance and Waila support ​

ChromaticTooltips now supports theme inheritance, letting themes fall back to a default. A new built-in Waila default theme is included so Waila tooltips get proper styling out of the box.

Shipped in: ChromaticTooltips #3, ChromaticTooltipsCompat #3

Trophy inventory condition handlers ​

Added new trophy condition handlers that track inventory changes: inventory.add (items gained), inventory.remove (items lost), and inventory.total (total amount of an item currently carried).

Shipped in: Amazing-Trophies #29, Amazing-Trophies #22

Variable apiarist armor protection ​

Apiarist armor pieces can now provide more than one unit of protection, enabling better integration with mechanical armor.

Shipped in: ForestryMC #125, ForestryMC #122

Witchery Sticky Items keeps more gear ​

Witchery's Sticky Items potion effect now works with AdventureBackpack2 and Galacticraft extended inventory slots. Players with the potion active will keep these items on death.

Shipped in: AdventureBackpack2 #38, Galacticraft #113

Debug input bus and hatch for developers ​

New debug input bus (items) and debug input hatch (fluids) let developers supply ghost items and fluids to multiblocks for testing. Both hold 16 slots and provide infinite copies.

Shipped in: GT5-Unofficial #5260, GT5-Unofficial #5259, GT5-Unofficial #5175, GT5-Unofficial #5785, GT5-Unofficial #6389, GT5-Unofficial #6857, GT5-Unofficial #7097

Small item icons in Waila tooltips ​

Added a compact icon rendering mode for item stacks in Waila tooltips, displaying them inline alongside text. A follow-up fix corrected the vertical alignment so icons sit on the text baseline.

Shipped in: waila #75, waila #58

NewHorizonsCoreMod ​

  • #1760 Added a beamcrafter recipe to produce Xenoxene Xenoxsis culture after players have access to xenoxene. This provides an alternative to the tedious biolab method for creating multiple cultures. - @ham-corp

    Xenoxene culture recipe in Beamcrafter after initial xenoxene

  • #1758 Added assembler and beamcrafter recipes for crafting Unstable (Mobius Stable) ingots. Players now have additional late-game crafting options for this material. - @UltraProdigy

    Add Assembler & Beamcrafter Unstable (Mobius Stable) Ingot Recipes

GT5-Unofficial ​

  • #4982 [rebuild required] Complete overhaul of High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR): now provides alternative Europium and Americium fusion recipes, enables breeding of advanced materials, retiered to IV, and features dynamic fuel consumption and helium loss mechanics. Requires balancing during 2.8-2.9 development. - @Pxx500

    • What to do: You have to rebuild your old HTGR. The reactor is a completely new and much larger structure made from casings that did not exist in 2.8.4, so take the old one down and build the new one from the NEI preview when you get there. It now runs at IV instead of LuV, needs a helium loop that slowly leaks, and takes new TRISO fuel. Your old TRISO and BISO pebbles are not removed and can be centrifuged back down.

    High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) rework

  • #4970 [read before updating] PCB Factory upgrades are now separate sub-multiblocks that can be linked to a main PCB Factory using a data stick. This provides more flexible configuration and solves stability issues with the previous integrated design. - @guid118

    • What to do: Your PCB Factory keeps its shape and does not have to come down. A bio chamber or cooling tower that was working in 2.8.4 stays linked and goes on working. From now on new upgrades are built as their own multiblocks and linked with a data stick, so if you ever tear the old cooling tower down you will have to build the new standalone version to get overclocking back.

    PCB Factory sub-multi additions

  • #4065 Added GT Modular Armor system to replace IC2-dependent armor (jetpacks, nano, quantum). Armor consists of interchangeable frames (adding slots), energy cores (controlling capacity and tier), and augments (providing effects), unlocked from HV tier onward. - @FourIsTheNumber

  • ...and 157 smaller change(s) in GT5-Unofficial, listed in the by-mod files.
