Phase 8 approved (2026-11-09). Adrian's Phase 9 answers: left-out Pokemon rare
in fitting zones; legendaries from crafted summons; no public release.
- Ore veins more sporadic but bigger: nodes about 40 % rarer, veins about 30 %
further apart, each one block larger in radius. 1.5-3x the ore overall; a
new island is needed to see it. World check on the regenerated island passes.
- The respawn block (Regenerating Ore Veins' regenerator): the aim passes
through it unless sneaking (mixin, the pack's first), so ore behind it can be
mined; much fainter glass through KubeJS assets. Self-test
regenerator_lets_the_aim_through casts a real ray.
- 31 lines (67 species) with no matching island biome, or no spawn data
(Rotom), get rare homes in fitting zones (world/zones.json -> homeless).
Existing spawns and guardians don't change. JEI data and quests regenerated.
- surface_nodes_lie_in_the_ground checks the node's centre column: a wider
node's edge can lie under a tree or a slope.
- Roadmap: every implemented Pokemon obtainable; Iris and Complementary
Reimagined as the default shader.
Self-tests and the island check pass.

- tools/quests.py writes pack/config/ftbquests/quests/ in FTB Quests 2101's
format (data.snbt, chapters/*.snbt, texts in lang/en_us.snbt) with ids
derived from the YAML names, so progress survives regeneration. Flexible
progression, no lock icons, no rewards (Adrian, 2026-11-03). tools/build.py
runs it.
- docs/quests.yaml: 18 chapters, 74 quests. Getting Started; one chapter per
zone and the End from a zone template (reach it, catch three of its
Pokemon, mine its ores, beat its guardian) plus chapter extras (Mire
Waders, Eyes of Ender, Eternatus); Pokemon Machines; Base and Jobs.
- Node positions: --pull reads them from an FTB Quests folder into the
layout block (only moved nodes); tools/prism_instance.py pulls from the
instance before each sync and rebuilds if something moved.
- The pack's own events as hidden advancements (cobblesurvival:events/...),
granted by QuestEvents: zone reached, guardian beaten, machine filled, End
boss beaten.
- Self-tests quest_book_loads and quest_events_mark_zones; the guardian and
furnace tests check their events. Self-tests and island check pass.
