HBM NTM Reforged - 0.8.9-alpha

Minecraft: 1.12.2 · Forge: 14.23.5.2859+
File: HBM-NTM-Reforged-0.8.9-alpha.jar

A major stability and gameplay patch. Below is everything that was broken, unfinished, or missing - and what works now.

---

Oil & Extraction

• Oil derrick and pumpjack pump oil again - machines detect oil deposits (ore_oil), no longer blindly replace them with pipe, and actually transfer fluid into the tank.
• Fixed black-and-purple blocks when draining a deposit - empty oil and depleted pockets no longer turn into missing textures or vanish after rejoining the world.
• Restored empty oil deposits - correct textures in hand, JEI, and creative (ore_oil_empty).
• Bedrock oil is back - world generation and extraction with the hydraulic fracking tower.
• Oil detector - finds deposits that are actively being pumped, including bedrock oil; works correctly on test deposits placed from creative.
• Correct oil type on Earth - overworld deposits yield regular crude oil, not desulfurized crude.

Weapons & Tools

Gluon Gun

• Centered inventory icon and a proper first-person 3D model.
• Beam travels from the barrel to the crosshair, not from your head into the sky; one stable beam without flickering strips when turning the camera.

Meteorite Swords

• Fixed textures for Demonic, Warped, and other variants - shimmer animation, correct look in inventory, JEI, and in hand.
• Swords are grouped together in creative/JEI instead of scattered through the list.

Other Swords & Guns

• HF Sword / HS Sword - 3D inventory icons again (no flat unfolded texture).
• Firearms - can no longer melee-hit mobs; fixed the bug where after a punch the gun kept breaking blocks while LMB was held.
• Tau Cannon - automatic fire in short bursts while holding the button.
• Assembly Machine grenades - restored missing recipes.
• Dynamite - correct thrown projectile texture (not the fishing dynamite variant).

Pickaxes & Abilities

• Steel and advanced pickaxes gained missing passive traits: vein miner, silk touch, autosmelt, and other modes.
• Removed glitchy mode icons near the crosshair; the active mode is shown in the tooltip (yellow arrow when enabled), as intended.

---

Items, Recipes & Machines

• Self-charging batteries - added missing recipes (americium, uranium, schrabidium, etc.); removed useless non-craftable duplicates.
• Schrabidium Transmutator - block is back in-game with recipe and JEI entry.
• Coal dust - applies the coal dust hazard on items/blocks again.
• Lead and schrabidium apples - removed broken duplicates; working versions can be eaten and grant effects.
• Crucible - three modes: smelting, alloying, casting; fixed templates, textures, JEI, and alloying recipes (stainless steel, etc.).
• CMB ingot - crafted via crucible instead of the broken “alloy furnace”.
• Metal scraps - proper textures in JEI and GUI, not a “liquid square”.
• Decorative metal blocks - 1 block = 1 ingot; rusty steel decor: 2 blocks = 1 steel ingot.

Radiation - Full Overhaul

This is the biggest change in the patch.

Blocks & Environment

• Dozens of radioactive blocks now have correct emission strength (sellafield, waste grass, dead grass, glowing mushroom, ancient scrap, corium, tiered sellafield, and more).
• Blocks contaminate the world around them again - not tooltip-only; real chunk radiation spread.
• Chunk spread tuned - contamination from an ancient scrap cube reaches ~4 chunks from center (previously stretched to 5-6).
• Block transformation from radiation:
  • grass → waste grass / dead grass;
  • sand → contaminated sand (not trinitite ore);
  • mushrooms → glowing mushroom under heavy exposure;
  • dirt and leaves contaminate after explosions.

Explosions & Fallout

• Nuclear grenades and bombs - after detonation, tiered sellafield blocks appear (weak tiers up to core at hundreds of RAD/s), not only weak slaked sellafield.
• Underground fallout - stone under the crater is contaminated by distance from ground zero.
• Fallout rain - radioactive rain/dust after large blasts (Fat Man and similar); visible thin surface layer.
• Trees after a nuclear blast are fully charred, not half-burned.
• Added baleonitite block (for balefire explosions).

Fluids

• Sellafine - dedicated fluid with correct texture, radiation (~700 RAD/s in a pool), spawns in the crater and underground after a Nuka grenade; spreads without instantly spawning sellafield around it.
• WATZ mud - green WATZ reactor fluid: correct color in bucket, canisters, drums, and fluid identifier; hot (~1500°C), pyrophoric.
• Volcanic lava, corium, radwater - updated textures, tooltips (temperature in red), pour behavior.
• Hazardous Material Tank - container canisters do not apply radiation, fire, or other debuffs while carried (they hold hazardous material; they are not the hazard itself).
• Fixed crash when stacking 64 large canisters of dangerous fluid.
• Negative fluid effects do not apply in creative while testing.

Inventory Item Contamination

• Clean items (stack size = 1) build up neutron activation in strong fields: nuclear blast epicenter, radioactive pools, standing near hot blocks.
• Inventory slots, armor, and offhand are affected; the selected hotbar slot is skipped.
• Rate depends on dose and armor resistance (star metal slows it down).
• In creative, items can still be contaminated (easier to test); player HP remains protected from radiation in creative.
• Option 7.01_itemContamination is enabled by default on fresh install; old configs with false migrate automatically on first launch.

Debug

• /radvis - visualizes radiation “pockets” per chunk (for testing and reading zones).
• /hbm rad set - manually set radiation in a chunk.

---

Hazards

• Asbestos, fire, toxicity, hot/cold blocks - verified and working on blocks and items.
• Sellafield blocks emit radiation on contact (walking, standing inside the block).
• Mobs on contaminated sand receive the contamination effect (green particles).
