Credits & Attribution

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-mod is 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-mod is an original implementation against Tetra's public IModularItem interface.

---

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:

1. Preserve LICENSE from upstream in the new mod's root (rename to clarify if multi-license, but never strip the upstream copyright).
2. Add a NOTICE file 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.
3. mods.toml — set license= to the correct SPDX identifier (or the upstream's identifier), authors= to ours, and add a credits= line with a one-line upstream pointer.
4. Add a row to this page describing the fork.
5. Add a row to master-appendix §J Bytecode Patches if 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.
