TIDEFORGE 1.5.0
Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge 47.4.10 · Java 17

FIELD MANUAL

Every player receives the Tideforge Field Manual once. It gives each
overlapping tech family one clear job: QuarryPlus for mining, Pipez for normal
transport, Create for moving builds, Mekanism for power and processing,
Project Red for logic, and CC:Tweaked for programmable control. Craft a
replacement with one book plus one compass.

THE BIG BUILDS

1. UNDERGROUND BASES
   Alex's Caves adds huge rare cave biomes, creatures and materials.
   Building Gadgets 2 repeats walls, floors, corridors and room modules.
   FramedBlocks shapes slopes, corners and trim; Create Deco adds catwalks;
   SecurityCraft adds reinforced entrances, keypads, cameras and storage.

2. UNDERWATER BASES
   Build a sealed shell with Building Gadgets 2, FramedBlocks and Macaw's
   Windows. Split it into finite compartments, verify the shell, then remove
   water one compartment at a time. Mekanism supplies scuba gear, pumps, power
   and pipes. Do not try to drain the open ocean.

3. SPACE BASES
   Ad Astra supplies rockets, a NASA Workbench, launch pads, fuel, oxygen,
   rovers, orbital stations and five celestial bodies. Prepare power, fuel,
   a suit and spare oxygen before launch; start with one compact sealed room
   before copying a larger station module.

4. OCEAN WATER TO THE SKY
   Place a Mekanism Electric Pump directly above ocean water. Power it and
   connect Mechanical Pipes all the way up the tower. Upgrade pipe tiers when
   the flow becomes a bottleneck, and feed a Dynamic Tank at the top.

5. A REAL MULTI-FLOOR ELEVATOR
   Moving Elevators supplies the Elevator Controller, Elevator Display,
   Remote Elevator Panel and named floors. Floor distance is not limited.
   Displays can call the platform, and redstone/comparators can automate doors.

6. THE ABYSS
   Aquamirae's Ice Maze, ship graveyard and frozen-ocean enemies are the main
   sea-horror route. Alex's Mobs makes the rest of the ocean alive. Cataclysm
   supplies the hardest expedition bosses.

7. EMC ALCHEMY
   ProjectE is intentionally included as late-game acceleration. The most fun
   progression is to build the pump and elevator factory before scaling up
   collectors and condensers. Supplementaries pancakes are intentionally
   non-transmutable because their novelty music-disc tag otherwise creates an
   unfair record-level EMC value.

8. EXPEDITION KIT
   Comforts provides sleeping bags. Hang Glider provides tower launches.
   JEI shows recipes; Jade explains the machine or creature under your cursor.
   FallingTree lets an axe fell a recognized whole tree with normal durability
   cost. Hold sneak while chopping to break only the targeted log.

9. FURNITURE, FOOD AND CREATOR NOVELTIES
   Handcrafted supplies more than 250 furniture pieces. Supplementaries adds
   useful decor and playful mechanisms. Farmer's Delight builds a working
   kitchen. Exposure makes photographs and albums. Immersive Melodies adds
   playable instruments. Custom melody uploads are operator-only; use original
   music or music you have permission to include in recordings and streams.

10. MORE ADVENTURE
   Better Dungeons adds catacombs, fortresses and spider caves. Better Ocean
   Monuments rebuilds the sea expedition. Explorer's Compass locates structures,
   while Lootr gives each invited player their own treasure in shared chests.
   New structures and crops appear in unexplored chunks.
   Chunky is the server-side pre-generation tool used by the owner to prepare
   terrain ahead of exploration; it adds no client item or client controls.

11. LIVING VILLAGES
   MCA Reborn adds villager personalities, relationships, families, guards,
   blueprints and village management. Online AI/TTS and unrestricted editing
   are disabled. Treat MCA as permanent; converting vanilla villagers is a
   world change.

12. DETAILED ARCHITECTURE
   Macaw's Roofs, Bridges, Windows and Stairs add roof peaks, gutters, awnings,
   bridge spans, gothic windows, curtains, handrails, balconies and platforms.

13. CLASSIC TEKKIT WORKSHOP
   Create supplies kinetic factories, belts, presses, mixers and moving
   contraptions. CC:Tweaked adds Lua computers, monitors and turtles.
   Additional Enchanted Miner supplies Quarry Plus and mining upgrades. Pipez
   restores simple item, fluid, energy, gas and universal pipes plus one wrench.
   The basic loop is Quarry Plus -> Item Pipe -> chest, with an Energy Pipe from
   a generator. Wrench the quarry-side pipe connection to enable extraction.
   Project Red adds compact logic gates, bundled wiring, frames, motors and
   sorted tubes. Mekanism remains the main power, processing and fluid system,
   and ProjectE remains the Equivalent Exchange route.

   The unrestricted Chunk Destroyer and automatic quarry chunk loading are
   disabled for home-server performance. CC:Tweaked blocks private and local
   network addresses so Lua cannot reach the dashboard, controller or OBS.
   Computers, turtles, quarries and data-bearing Create tools have zero EMC.

14. PROXIMITY VOICE
   Press V after joining for microphone setup, push-to-talk and private groups.
   Recording is disabled by default. Public voice needs a separate UDP tunnel
   for port 24454; the normal Minecraft connection alone does not carry audio.

15. WORLD TOOLS
   Press F8 -> World as an operator. Calm trims only natural hostile spawns;
   Normal is vanilla; Lively adds a restrained capped attempt every 12 seconds.
   Hunt raises that to every 6 seconds for 10 minutes and has a Stop button.
   The same screen controls day, night, clear weather, storms and personal
   surface/world-spawn rescue. Every action is rechecked by the server.

RELEASE COMPOSITION
66 pinned third-party downloads + 3 Tideforge-owned JARs.
65 files are active on the dedicated server, including the common bases
compatibility and World Tools JARs. Two Discord files remain staged and
inactive. Tideforge Link is the one client-only file. Every new base, pipe and
space mod is a native Forge 1.20.1 release; no old mod binary needed to be
converted.

See the colorful server dashboard's Pack Guide for the short version.

CREATOR MODES
Cherry Halo is selected automatically on the first launch when neither Halo
theme is already active. Golden Halo remains available under
Options > Resource Packs. Tideforge Link changes only the resource-pack
selection; it does not replace your controls, accessibility or video settings.

Press F8 while playing to open the Tideforge Creator Control deck. It can start
and stop OBS recording, switch the included creator scenes, list online players
or the whitelist, open World Tools, open the dashboard, and request an
operator-only safe stop behind a confirmation screen. Open its in-game Settings
page once and enter the OBS WebSocket password from OBS > Tools > WebSocket
Server Settings. That password stays only in this Minecraft instance.
