Fixed a Server Side issue when IG Items used the I18n class. Added Block and Item Tags for Materials. (EG, Pyrite Ore is now tagged with 'forge:material/pyrite' Using the new Tag system improved geologist pick analysis from ~40ms to ~0.2ms Changed Metal Oxides to use the Corroded Color Palette. Updated the Corroded Color Palette uses real world references for the relevant material.

Read Me

Some ore blocks have had their supported vanilla stone types changed. This may result in missing ore blocks in old worlds.

Additions

• Overhauled world generation for more realistic mineral deposits.

• Dimension Specific Ores have been added, you can now find Ores in the End as well as the Overworld and Nether.

• Implemented sodium electrolysis.

• Added magnesium production processes.

Changes

• Rewrote and optimized ore generation logic for significantly improved performance and reliability.
• Adjusted ore rarity and placement using improved filtering logic.
• Updated and expanded in-game documentation, including manual entries for minerals and machines.

Fixes

• Bituminous Coal no longer converts into a Coke Block in the Coke Oven.
• Geologist Pick can now be crafted with any stick item (no longer restricted to treated wood).
• Missing fence recipes have been added.
• Fixed an issue preventing ore generation when the game language was not set to English.
• Cobalt Oxide now has a valid Pelletizer recipe.
• Immersive Geology fluids now support proper swimming mechanics.
• Fixed an issue where fluid property lookups would incorrectly create a new fluid type each time.
• Resolved fluid handling issues in the Chemical Reactor.
• Fixed input capability handling in the Chemical Reactor.
• Fluid Flasks can no longer stack—this prevents item deletion when used in stacked form.

I've probably forgotten some other additions or fixes, I'll update this if I remember any more; I need to be more descriptive with my commits on github.

Fixed Mirroring Issues with the Pelletizer and Centrifuge

NOTE: I would break these multiblock on a world before updating, and reform it after the update to avoid issues as I've moved the master block which can cause issues for formed multiblocks.

Additional Updates

• Added Storage Block Variatants to IG Coals
• Added new Thermal Engineering Block (Unused as of this moment)
• Added Caching for the Geologists Pick, you can spam it in the same place to your hearts content.

New Features:

• Introduced new mineral types: Anthracite, Lignite, and Bituminous Coal, which can now be found in the world.
• Added Extra High Voltage Ground Cable and its components.
• Implemented new Steel Reinforced Concrete material.
• Added Fence Blocks.

World Generation:

• Tweaked Banded Ore Generation to improve thresholds, resulting in more Poor and Normal Ores generating in place of Rich Ores.
• Added Lignite, Bituminous and Anthracite Coal Bands to world generation.

Models and Textures:

• Implemented a new model for the Bloomery.
• Updated Refractory Brick Texture.
• Updated Grit, Powder, Compound Dust, Crushed Ore, Metal Oxide and Slag Textures
