TC4 Research Port: Reborn

by Artur114

TC4 Research Port: Reborn ports the Thaumcraft 4 research system to Thaumcraft 6 on Forge for 1.12.2, so research notes and entries work the way they did in the older game.

What it does

Research in Thaumcraft 6 is reworked here to follow the Thaumcraft 4 approach. Research notes are generated from the world seed, so each world gets its own set, and a note can carry up to 11 aspects. Empty cells in a research table produce notes as well, which changes how players gather their first research material.

Handcrafted research note templates were added for Thaumcraft research entries. Several theories from a single research stage get merged into one complex note, and the mod adds a Deconstruction Table that takes items apart again. The mod also fixes an incompatibility with ThaumicAdditions. Installed on the server and on every client, it runs as a magic and minigame addition for Thaumcraft 6 worlds on 1.12.2.

Key features

  1. Seed-based research notes

    Procedural research note generation uses the world seed, so the notes a world produces stay consistent from one session to the next.

  2. Complex combined notes

    Several theories within one research stage are merged into one complex note, reducing the number of separate notes players carry.

  3. Deconstruction Table

    A table added by the mod lets players break items down, expanding what can be done with aspect material.

  4. Handcrafted note templates

    Templates for research notes follow Thaumcraft research entries, giving the generated notes a hand-authored structure.

How it compares

Full comparison

Thaumcraft Aspect Creator is open source under the MIT License and is built for Forge 1.12.2 with the client and server environment, so it covers aspect creation rather than the research flow. Thaumcraft Integration is not open source, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and covers versions 1.7.10 – 1.12.2. Thaumcraft 4 : Patched targets only 1.7.10 under a custom license.

Questions

Does TC4 Research Port: Reborn need Thaumcraft installed?

The mod is built on Thaumcraft 6 for Forge 1.12.2, so Thaumcraft must be present for the research system it changes to take effect.

Does the server need the mod, or only players?

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Are research notes the same in every world?

No. Procedural research note generation is based on the world seed, so each world produces its own notes.
