Nerospace 1.0.0-alpha.1

First public alpha of Nerospace, for Minecraft 26.1.2 on NeoForge. This pre-release carries
the full 1.0.0 feature set (see below) for early testing — expect rough edges and balance changes
before the stable release. Please report issues on the
tracker.

Added

Materials & machines

• Nerosium ore (stone + deepslate) with the full chain: raw → ingot, dust, storage blocks,
  and the nerosium pickaxe.
• The Nerosium Grinder — powered ore-doubling via nerosium dust.
• Planetary materials with their own chains: Nerosteel and Xertz Quartz (Greenxertz),
  Cindrite (Cindara), Glacite (Glacira).
• Generators: Combustion Generator (burns fuel) and Passive Generator (trickle charge).
• The Fuel Refinery — turns coal + blaze powder + energy into pipeable rocket fuel.
• Common c: tags on all ores/ingots/dusts/gems/storage blocks, and tag-based recipe inputs,
  for clean cross-mod and recipe-viewer compatibility.

Logistics

• The Universal Pipe — energy, fluids, gas, and items in one tube, with per-face ×
  per-layer modes, visible travelling items, and coloured flow streams.
• The Configurator tool + pipe config panel, item filters, and speed/capacity upgrades.
• Storage endpoints: Battery, Fluid Tank, Gas Tank, Item Store (+ creative endless variants).
• NeoForge capabilities exposed on every sensible block face (hopper/pipe automation works
  everywhere, including feeding rockets through the launch pad).

Rockets & travel

• Four rocket tiers with per-tier models: Tier 1 (Orbital Station) → Tier 2
  (+ Greenxertz) → Tier 3 (+ Cindara) → Tier 4 (+ Glacira).
• The 3×3 Launch Pad with formation gating, plus the Heavy Launch Complex — a 5×5 pad
  with a Launch Gantry (right-click to board) that Tier 4 requires and Tier 3 accepts as
  an alternative to its Station Wall ring.
• The Fuel Tank pad module — auto-fuels the deployed rocket (up to 480 mB/t on a Heavy
  complex), with canister auto-feed.
• A rocket UI with painted panel, segmented fuel gauge, trajectory arc, and destination cycling.

Dimensions

• Greenxertz — a green planet with its own ores and creatures.
• Cindara — a volcanic moon with a heat hazard.
• Glacira — a frozen moon with a cold hazard.
• The Orbital Station — and player-founded stations: rename a Station Charter in an
  anvil, fly there, and found your own named station anchored by a Station Core (up to 64
  stations per world, selectable as rocket destinations).

Oxygen & survival

• Airless dimensions with a per-block oxygen field: sealed rooms fill, leaks drain,
  doors/trapdoors/glass count as boundaries.
• The Oxygen Generator — grid-powered electrolysis producing pipeable O₂ — plus airlock
  refilling from Gas Tanks.
• The Oxygen Suit in two tiers, plus hazard variants: the Thermal Suit (Cindara heat)
  and Cryo Suit (Glacira cold) — unprotected exposure quadruples oxygen drain.
• An O₂ HUD gauge with suit/hazard badges.

Terraforming

• The Terraformer — expanding terrain conversion with staged maturation:
  Rooted → Hydrated → Living, including a water cycle fed by the Hydration Module
  (glacite), per-planet mature biomes with real weather, and the Terraform Monitor readout.
• Three breedable livestock species on terraformed ground: Meadow Loper, Ember Strutter,
  Woolly Drift (food + fleece drops).

Creatures

• Native mobs with bespoke models, animations, and glow layers: Xertz Stalker, Quartz Crawler,
  Greenling (Greenxertz), Cinder Stalker (Cindara), Frost Strider (Glacira).

Progression & polish

• The Star Guide — a pedestal block + guidebook opening an interactive 7-chapter
  progression tree (31 steps), backed by a full advancement tree.
• A creative /nerospace gallery showcase command with live demos of every system.
• Bespoke art across the board: shaped machine models, per-tier rocket geometry, per-creature
  textures, animated GUI gauges, fluid/gas visuals.
• Config: five clamped multiplier keys (oxygenDrain, oxygenCapacity, energyRate,
  fuelCost, machineSpeed) over internal base values — modpack-friendly tuning.
• Optional, anonymous crash reporting (Sentry, EU servers) with full disclosure in
  PRIVACY.md and a telemetryEnabled = false opt-out.
