Witchery (Forge 1.20.1 Port)

This repository is a breadth-first port of the original Witchery mod from Forge 1.7.10 to Forge 1.20.1.

What This Project Is For

• Rebuild Witchery on modern Forge without losing legacy content coverage.
• Preserve legacy registry names/content where practical to reduce migration risk.
• Port wide first (all systems present), then deepen behavior/parity.

Legacy source used for porting lives in:

• /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/old-1.7.10

Current Porting Status

Status is tracked in phase form:

• Phase 0 discovery/inventory: complete.
• Phase 1 registration scaffolding: complete.
• Phase 2 assets/data scaffolding: in progress.
• Phase 3+ systems/behavior parity: pending.

Inventory baseline from manifest:

• Blocks: 121
• Items: 102
• Fluids: 6
• Entities: 55
• Effects/Potions: 44

Source of Truth Docs

Use these files in this order each session:

1. /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/PORTING_MEMORY.md
2. /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/PORTING.md
3. /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/PORTING_MANIFEST.md

Roles:

• PORTING_MEMORY.md: session-critical reminders and constraints.
• PORTING.md: phase checklist and near-term plan.
• PORTING_MANIFEST.md: legacy surface map (blocks/items/fluids/registries/anchors).

How We Work

• Breadth-first, then depth-first.
• Keep compile health at each step.
• Validate with compileJava during scaffolding work.
• Keep the three docs updated whenever scope or status changes.

Validation rule:

• Use ./gradlew compileJava as the routine check.
• Do not rely on runClient for routine scaffolding validation.

How To Check Progress

1) Check phase checklist

• Open /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/PORTING.md
• Look at Phase Checklist and Immediate Next Actions.

2) Check current build health

./gradlew compileJava

3) Check resource surface coverage (quick sanity)

find src/main/resources/assets/witchery/blockstates -type f | wc -l
find src/main/resources/assets/witchery/models/block -type f | wc -l
find src/main/resources/assets/witchery/models/item -type f | wc -l

4) Check working tree changes

git status --short

Project Structure (Porting-Relevant)

• /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/old-1.7.10: legacy source reference.
• /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/src/main/java/art/arcane/witchery/registry: modern registry scaffolding.
• /Users/cyberpwn/development/workspace/AuramMods/Witchery/src/main/resources/assets/witchery: modern assets (blockstates/models/textures/lang).

Goal

Get to a complete 1.20.1 Witchery port with:

• Full registry surface present
• Stable compile/build
• Progressive visual/behavior parity against 1.7.10
