v8.1.0-beta for Minecraft 1.21.1

Ender IO 8.1.0-beta

For this release, we have focussed on Ender IO's internals in preparation for newer versions of Minecraft. With that said, we have added a number of new features and squashed a bunch of bugs.
As we've changed a lot in the backgronud, please let us know about any new issues discovered during play.

Note that this probably won't drop in and play nicely immediately with some modpacks - you'll need to give modpacks time to update any custom recipes or questlines to match.

We've still got more features that we would've liked to get into this release, but we don't want to sit on all these bug fixes. Of note is the Killer Joe which should be following shortly after this release.

Addon Developers

This release marks an API freeze, its now safe for you to update your integrations - we won't break anything again on 1.21.1. Some APIs are still marked as experimental, but we don't see any reason to change these at this time.

Features

• Recipe rebalance and alloy reshuffle
  • Removed Copper Alloy
  • Changed recipes for other alloys, most notably pulsating alloy is now cheaper.
  • Sag mill no longer requires dark steel.
  • Conduits are now all named similarly to cap banks etc. (normal, energetic and vibrant) and recipes are adjusted to match
  • Removed a number of unused items.
• Farming Station has been moved out of experimental
• Capacitors can now be fed into machines from automation (they cannot be removed, this would be irritating).
• Added tooltip to explain how to configure filters (#1067)
• Addressed some performance issues (#1185)
• Added config options for ME Conduit energy consumption rates (and changed defaults to 0)
• Updated translations from Crowdin
• Tank recipes now use SizedFluidIngredient - this will unfortunately break custom tank recipes, but is definitely a change for the better.
  • Tags for outputs will prefer Ender IO resources first, then will pick the first valid match, we may improve on this in future.
  • We've updated the XP bottle recipes to use the experience tag.
• Added a validator to ensure soul binding soul data properteis are mutually exclusive (#1163)
• Changed visibility of OutputItem codecs (#1159)

Bug Fixes

• Powah Energizing Rod not connecting to energy conduits (#1184)

• Heat Conduit crashes when reconnected using the wrench (#1214)
• VAT inputs should be order independent (#1212)
• ME Conduits couldn't be replaced with Dense ME Conduits
• Unable to craft Cloud Seed Concentrated
• Facades appearing in other dimensions that they shouldn't (#1226)
• Soul Binder allows XP Juice to be pushed out (#1013)
• Energy bars go above the maximum (#1106)
• Animated modded fluids render incorrectly in the fluid tank (#1180, #1081)
• Fluid tank voids buckets if a bucketed fluid does not exist for the stored fluid (#1181)
• Exception ticking level (conduits related, #1157)
• Block Detector Block Update leaves powered neighbours (#1171)

Experiments

Experiments are new features locked behind feature flags, these are work-in-progress and shouldn't be enabled on your primary world.

8.1.0 removes the dark steel tools/armor experiment because it was in notably poor shape - these will return once again once we have rebuilt this part of Ender IO.
