Shrapnel Shard 1.3.0 — Stark Protocol Update

This update completely expands the Arc Reactor survival experience and introduces the new Stark Bench progression system.

Added

!Stark Bench

• Added the fully functional Stark Bench.
• Added research progression for Satsu Iron Man armor projects.
• Armor research now requires XP levels, previous projects, and Satsu's Blueprint Holder.
• Added the craftable Replacement Palladium Core with a unique texture.
• Palladium Cores last for three Minecraft days while the Arc Reactor is equipped.
• Cores can be replaced using the Stark Bench.
• Replacing a core restores its full runtime and reduces poisoning by 15%.
• Added reactor tier detection.
• Reaching Reactor Tier 3 gradually removes palladium poisoning completely.
• Added core lifetime, reactor tier, and poisoning information to the Palladium Poisoning Control Device.
• Added proper Satsu Iron Man Addon 3.2.0 compatibility.

Changed

• Palladium poisoning is now permanently saved to the player.
• Removing the Arc Reactor no longer resets poisoning.
• Technology armor increases palladium exposure.
• Tier 2 reactors produce less poisoning.
• An expired Palladium Core causes significantly faster poisoning.
• Lithium Dioxide now removes 25% poisoning.
• Chlorophyll Drinks remove 5% poisoning, but drinking too many still causes an overdose.
• TNT explosions only grant an Arc Reactor after the player survives the explosion.
• The explosion reward can only be received once per player.
• The Arc Reactor is now placed directly into the correct Curios slot when possible.

Stark Bench Fixes

• Fixed the Stark Bench collision box to match the full model.
• Fixed the invisible Stark Bench creative inventory preview.
• Fixed the Blueprint Holder detection using the correct Satsu item.
• Fixed missing and invalid Satsu armor registry references.
• Improved the Stark Bench interface layout.
• Added separate Research/Build and Replace Core buttons.

Temporarily Disabled

• JARVIS has been temporarily disabled while the system is being polished.
• All JARVIS code remains in the mod and will return in a future update.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge
• Satsu Iron Man Addon 3.2.0+
• Palladium 4.5.5+
• Curios API
