MapperBase 7.0.0.0 for Minecraft 1.21.1 + NeoForge
The mod is a library used by my other mods and is feature-complete. The internal components were updated a lot, consider it as a full rewrite.
Note: translations for Chinese, Korean, and Russian were removed as the mod contents changed a bit, making the lang files incompatible. For anyone interested by translating, please make pull requests on Github. Thank you for understanding.
While it has been tested on client + server without any encountered problem it may be possible to find new bugs as the mod went through a rewrite. In this case please report them.
This build was tested against the latest 1.18.1 version of Forge.
## Changelog
*Updated to Minecraft 1.18.1*
The mod now runs on Minecraft 1.18.1. It is basically the same mod than the 1.17.1 version with a few changes to accommodate the new version.
Remember bitumen and related worldgen, asphalt, concrete and bituminous coal moved to Road Stuff since 1.17.1.
This is the first (and probably last) release for Minecraft 1.17.1. Development will now move onto 1.18.
While it has been tested on client + server without any encountered problem it may be possible to find new bugs as the mod went through a rewrite. In this case please report them.
## Changelog
### Updated to Minecraft 1.17.1
The mod now runs on Minecraft 1.17.1. Many internal changes were also applied to optimize the code.
### Removed bitumen and concrete
Bitumen (asphalt) and concrete were moved to Road Stuff. This includes worldgen and recipes. You will not get bitumen anymore in your worlds if you don't have Road Stuff installed.
Consequently bituminous coal is also removed and moved to Road Stuff.
### Updated steel fence gate recipe
The recipe now matchs the steel fence recipe with the bolts. Additionally the crafts now give 4 fences.
Steel is now crafted through multiple steps to balance its cost with other mods such as Mekanism or Immersive Engineering.
The steps are:
- blasting an iron ingot into ferrite (this requires one coal per ferrite)
- crafting raw steel with 3 ferrite dusts
- blasting raw steel into a steel ingot (his requires ½ coal per ingot)
This process requires a basic setup (basically just a vanilla blast furnace) however each steel ingot costs 3 iron ingots and almost 4 coal which is quite more expensive than the process from other mods, not counting crafting time which is a bit long. This gives players a choice between a simpler setup but less efficient and a complex setup but way more efficient in terms of ressource consuming.
Note: this is still subject to changes depending on feedbacks.
### Steel material changes
Steel is now closer to iron in terms of gear efficiency. Durability is still higher than iron but lower than diamond.
### Bitumen generation changes
Bitumen now comes in smaller pockets, around sea level. Biomes that are hilly or mountainous do not have bitumen pockets anymore. This should reduce bitumen quantity in the world.
To find bitumen the best way is now looking around rivers or coasts however you can still find pockets in caves near the surface.
### Other changes
- Crafts requiring bitumen now use tags for mod compatibility
- Steel fence now requires bolts so Immersive Engineering steel fences can be crafted on their side as the multiblocks can't accept fences from other mods
- Bitumen ore now drops experience when mined
This build supports newer versions of Forge for Minecraft 1.16.4 while providing a few changes.
## Changelog
- updated to Forge 35.1.4 for Minecraft 1.16.4.
- add tags to raw bitumen for mod compatibility.
- added (partial) Russian language (credits to DrHesperus on Github).
- changed steel craft duration: it takes now longer to process iron into steel and costs more in fuel so other mods adding steel crafts with machines now have more interest.
- added bituminous coal (craft: one coal surrounded by 8 raw bitumen = 8 bituminous coal): this allows raw bitumen to be converted into fuel. 8 bituminous coals can smelt 10 items, which is a bit more than one coal.

## Changelog
- updated to Forge 34.1.0for Minecraft 1.16.3.
- bitumen ore now generates in large pockets instead of lot of small veins.
