IridescentCraft stands on the work of a large modded-Minecraft community. This page lists every project that contributed source code, art, mechanics, or ideas to the pack, organized by type of contribution.

Custom mods bundled with the pack
The pack ships a small handful of mods authored or maintained for
IridescentCraft. Per the licensing of each upstream, attribution is required
in the source tree (see each mod's LICENSE and NOTICE files); this wiki
page is the public-facing summary.
Forks of upstream projects
| Our mod | Upstream | Upstream license | What we kept / what we changed |
|---|---|---|---|
iridescent-aptitudes-mod | Senior-S/JustLeveling-Fork — re-released from Tobinio's Just Leveling | Apache 2.0 | Internal modid preserved (justlevelingfork) so existing aptitude NBT survives the swap. Stripped gun-mod integrations (TacZ, Crayfish, Scorched Guns 2, PointBlank, BetterCombat), removed the KubeJS plugin subpackage, retuned passive-stat assignments off MAG. IridescentCraft KubeJS layer drives all on-skill behavior. |
iridescent-origins-mod | MerchantPug/Origins-Plus-Plus — extension of Apace100/origins-fabric | MIT (both) | Bootstrapped from Origins++ data on 2026-03-04 (commit da3e1b36); renamespaced every asset key from origins-plus-plus:* to icraft:*, then diverged. Added 4 custom origins (Witch of Ink, Artificial Construct, Witherborn, Slimebodied), 4 new races (Demi-God, Ryu, Fallen Angel, Kirin), and 10 classes (Archmage, Battlemage, Berserker, Samurai, Ranger, Paladin, Vanguard, Wanderer, Artificer, Void Summoner). Heavily rebalanced upstream powers. |
Original work (MIT-licensed)
These mods were written from scratch for IridescentCraft. They depend on third-party mods at runtime (those mods' own licenses apply to their own code), but no derived code is included.
| Our mod | Purpose | Runtime deps that significantly inform the design |
|---|---|---|
iridescent-biomes-mod | TerraBlender region registration for iridescent_biomes:cherry_river_valley and cherry_mountains. Datapacks alone can't assign parameter points on TerraBlender 3.x; the Java side does it. | TerraBlender (Glitchfiend) |
iridescent-difficulty-mod | Per-dimension HP / damage / champion-spawn multipliers + Apotheosis tier scaling | Apotheosis (Shadows of Fire), Champions (Wolfshotz) |
iridescent-modular-spells-mod | Tetra-style modular spell books for ISS + Ars Nouveau | Tetra (mickelus), Iron's Spellbooks (Iron431), Ars Nouveau (Hollingsworth) |
iridescent-reforging-mod | Tetra-style modular armor — IModularItem over ArmorItem | Tetra (mickelus) |
iridescent-tetra-expansion-mod | Bundled distribution of iridescent_reforging + iridescent_modular_spells under one jar with two mod IDs | Tetra (mickelus), Iron's Spellbooks (Iron431), Ars Nouveau (Hollingsworth) |
The three Tetra-using mods extend Tetra's IModularItem interface and use its workbench. Tetra is a runtime dependency, not derived code — none of Tetra's code is copied into our mods.
Major bytecode-patched JARs
Two third-party JARs are bytecode-patched in our shipped distribution. The patched class is a single-instruction change in each case; the bulk of the mod is unmodified and under the upstream license.
| JAR | Author | Upstream license | Our patch |
|---|---|---|---|
Patchouli-1.20.1-85-FORGE.jar | Vazkii | CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 (Patchouli) | athrow → pop in Book.class — disables use-resource-pack enforcement so our shipped codex book loads in a non-resource-pack-aware environment |
ars_nouveau-1.20.1-4.12.7-all.jar | Hollingsworth | LGPL-3.0 | doApply → immediate return in DungeonLootEnhancerModifier.class — disables Ars Nouveau's GLM chest-loot injection so our curated chest pools win |
Both patches require -noverify on the JVM (deprecated in Java 17 but functional). Details in Appendix §J.
Runtime dependencies that shape the design
A non-exhaustive list of mods we lean on heavily for core systems. The pack does not work without them.
| Mod | Author | What we use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Tetra | mickelus | Modular-item framework -- backbone of armor + spell books |
| Apotheosis | Shadows of Fire | Enchanting + affix + gem systems; gems are our T1 enchanting-table ingredient |
| Apothic Attributes | Shadows of Fire | Crit chance / crit damage / lifesteal / dodge attribute system |
| Iron's Spellbooks | Iron431 | Primary ISS-side spell system; canonical mana pool post the 2026-05-15 unified-pool migration |
| Ars Nouveau | Hollingsworth | Secondary spell system; mana-routed through ISS via ArsManaCapMixin |
| Origins (Forge port) + Apoli | EdwinMindcraft, Apace100 | Power system that iridescent_origins data plugs into |
| KubeJS | LatvianModder | Server-side scripting layer (170+ scripts) |
| LootJS | AlmostReliable | Loot-table modifier API |
| Puffish Skills + Attributes | puffish | Skill trees + cross-mod attribute system |
| Champions | Wolfshotz | Boss-counter source for Witch of Ink scaling |
| Patchouli | Vazkii | In-game codex book |
| AStages | Darkhax | Per-player tier gating |
| Geckolib | Bernie | Animation framework used by ISS / Ars / our modular armor renderers |
| Curios | TheIllusiveC4 | Trinket / ring / belt slot framework |
| Sophisticated Backpacks | P3pp3rF1y | Bag system |
| When Dungeons Arise | foxyno | Structures (T1-T2 dungeons) |
| Twilight Forest | Benimatic | T2 dimension |
| Aether | Modding Legacy + Ascending | T4 dimension |
| Blue Skies | TaleOfTheChicken | T2 dimension |
| Cataclysm | shar_3303 | T3-T4 ultra-bosses |
| Mekanism | aidancbrady | T3 tech tier |
| Botania | Vazkii | Magic-tech hybrid system |
| Twilight Forest, Aether, Blue Skies, Undergarden, Deep Aether, Deeperdarker, The Abyss | various | Dimensions threaded through our tier system |
Concept inspiration (not derived code)
Designs we drew on without copying source:
- Tetra Spell Book (TSB) — All-Rights-Reserved. Our
iridescent-modular-spells-modis conceptually adjacent (Tetra-modular spell books) but the implementation is independent, per the upstream license. No code shared. - Various Tetra modular-armor add-ons — General "armor with Tetra slots" pattern is in the air; our
iridescent-reforging-modis an original implementation against Tetra's publicIModularIteminterface.
Asset / texture credits
Textures shipped in our custom mods are either:
- Original work by Silvaria, or
- Vanilla Minecraft textures (Mojang, used per the EULA), or
- Mod-thematic items re-used from the mods we depend on (consumed at runtime via the mod's own asset system, not copied into our jars).
No third-party texture-pack content is copied into the shipped distribution.
Maintenance note
When forking a new mod into the iridescent-*-mod family, the checklist is:
- Preserve
LICENSEfrom upstream in the new mod's root (rename to clarify if multi-license, but never strip the upstream copyright). - Add a
NOTICEfile describing what was forked, when, and what changed. The Apache 2.0 family REQUIRES this; MIT requires copyright preservation; LGPL requires the LGPL text + offer-of-source. CC-BY-* requires attribution in user-visible material. mods.toml— setlicense=to the correct SPDX identifier (or the upstream's identifier),authors=to ours, and add acredits=line with a one-line upstream pointer.- Add a row to this page describing the fork.
- Add a row to
master-appendix §J Bytecode Patchesif the modification is a bytecode patch rather than a fork.
When in doubt, lean toward over-crediting. Attribution costs nothing and prevents bigger problems later.
