TC KubeJS Bridge (tckubejsbridge)

Bridges the Thaumcraft 4 (port) recipe system to KubeJS, allowing modpack authors and server admins to register TC infusion, crucible, arcane crafting recipes and item aspect tags directly from KubeJS scripts — including replacing existing recipes.

Requirements

Mod	Version	Relation
NeoForge	21.1.234	Required
Minecraft	1.21.1	Required
Thaumcraft (TC4 port)	0.2.2.34-port.1	Required
KubeJS (NeoForge)	2101.7.x	Required (plugin depends on its API)

KubeJS is declared optional in neoforge.mods.toml: without KubeJS the plugin part simply does not load, and the game still starts.

Building

The project lives at modules/tc-kubejs-bridge inside a multi-module Gradle build:

# Run from the repository root
gradle :tckubejsbridge:build

Artifact: modules/tc-kubejs-bridge/build/libs/KubeJS Thaumcraft-<mod_version>+<neoforge_version>.jar (e.g. KubeJS Thaumcraft-1.0.0+21.1.234.jar)

Compile dependencies (local jars, paths editable in build.gradle):

KubeJS: F:/downloads/kubejs-neoforge-2101.7.2-build.368.jar
Rhino: F:/downloads/rhino-2101.2.7-build.81.jar (KubeJS script engine)
Thaumcraft: modules/thaumicenergistics-neo/library/thaumcraft-0.2.2.34-port.1.jar

Adjust the files(...) paths in the dependencies block if your local layout differs.

Script Usage

Put scripts into kubejs/server_scripts/ and restart the game (see Note #1).

1. Infusion Recipe

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    event.recipes.thaumcraft.infusion(
        'MY_INFUSION',              // research key (globally unique; used by Thaumonomicon/dedup)
        'minecraft:diamond',        // result
        3,                          // instability
        ['ignis 64', 'potentia 32'],// aspects: aspect tag + amount
        'minecraft:golden_apple',   // central item
        'minecraft:blaze_rod',      // components (one or more)
        'minecraft:ender_pearl'
    );
});

2. Crucible Recipe

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    event.recipes.thaumcraft.crucible(
        'MY_CRUCIBLE',
        'minecraft:diamond',
        'minecraft:coal',           // catalyst
        { aer: 16, ignis: 8 }       // object syntax also works
    );
});

3. Shaped Arcane Recipe

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    event.recipes.thaumcraft.arcane(
        'MY_ARCANE',
        'minecraft:diamond_sword',
        ['ignis 16', 'ordo 8'],
        [' I ', ' I ', ' S '],      // pattern: up to 3 rows
        { I: 'minecraft:iron_ingot', S: 'minecraft:stick' }
    );
});

4. Shapeless Arcane Recipe

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    event.recipes.thaumcraft.arcane_shapeless(
        'MY_SHAPELESS',
        'minecraft:diamond_helmet',
        ['aer 8', 'aqua 8'],
        'minecraft:leather_helmet',
        'minecraft:diamond',
        'minecraft:diamond',
        'minecraft:diamond'
    );
});

5. Item Aspect Tags

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    event.thaumcraft.addObjectTag('minecraft:stick', { aer: 1, ignis: 2 });
});

6. Replacing an Existing Recipe (remove first, then register)

ServerEvents.recipes(event => {
    // NOTE: thaumcraft is a TOP-LEVEL binding, not event.thaumcraft
    thaumcraft.removeInfusion('INFUSIONPROVIDER');   // remove TC infusion recipes by research key
    // thaumcraft.removeArcane('RESEARCH_KEY');      // remove arcane recipes by research key

    // then register the new recipe for a true replacement
    event.recipes.thaumcraft.infusion(
        'INFUSIONPROVIDER',
        'thaumicenergistics:infusion_provider',
        0,
        ['auram 10'],
        'ae2:interface',
        'minecraft:oak_planks'
    );
});

Aspect Tag Reference (actual values in the TC4 port)

Important: the port uses the original Latin tags, not the TC4 English/localized names.

Aspect	Tag	Aspect	Tag
Air	`aer`	Earth	`terra`
Fire	`ignis`	Water	`aqua`
Order	`ordo`	Entropy	`perditio`
Void	`vacuos`	Light	`lux`
Weather	`tempestas`	Motion	`motus`
Crystal	`vitreus`	Life	`victus`
Energy	`potentia`	Exchange	`permutatio`
Death	`mortuus`	Darkness	`tenebrae`
Soul	`spiritus`	Eldritch	`alienis`
Magic	`praecantatio`	Aura	`auram`
Slime	`limus`	Plant	`herba`
Tree	`arbor`	Beast	`bestia`
Flesh	`corpus`	Undead	`exanimis`
Mind	`cognitio`	Senses	`sensus`
Man	`humanus`	Tool	`instrumentum`
Greed	`lucrum`	Craft	`fabrico`
Cloth	`pannus`	Mechanism	`machina`

Notes

Restart after editing scripts — /reload does NOT work:
- TC recipes live in the ThaumcraftApi.getCraftingRecipes() in-memory list, which KubeJS /reload never clears.
- This mod's dedup set (keyed by research) is also not cleared on /reload.
- If you need /reload support later, call thaumcraft.clearRegistered() in the script to reset the dedup set.
Research keys are globally unique: duplicate keys are skipped (prevents double registration). Use a different key for same-name recipes.
Recipes do NOT go into the vanilla RecipeManager: TC infusion/crucible/arcane recipes live in TC's own in-memory list. The bridge calls the TC API directly during script execution and emits a harmless placeholder recipe to KubeJS, so it does not affect other mods' recipe operations. (The schema uses typeOverride = minecraft:crafting_shapeless so KubeJS can find a serializer.)
Aspect lists accept two syntaxes: array ['ignis 64'] or object {ignis: 64}.
Item arguments accept: item id strings (minecraft:xxx / ae2:xxx), Item.of(...), and item tags (#minecraft:planks).
AE2's namespace is ae2: e.g. the AE2 interface is ae2:interface, NOT appliedenergistics2:interface.
KubeJS version compatibility: the bridge is built on KubeJS 2101.7.x RecipeSchema API (marked @ApiStatus.Experimental). Upgrading KubeJS to another patch version may require adjustments to the bridge layer.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause
Log shows `Serializer for type thaumcraft:infusion is not found`	Missing `typeOverride` (already fixed in code; rebuild)
Log shows `Unknown aspect 'xxx'`	Wrong aspect tag — check the aspect table above
Log shows `Item with ID xxx does not exist`	Wrong item id — remember the `ae2:` namespace
No `TC-KubeJS-Bridge` lines in the log at all	Mod not installed, or script not in `server_scripts`
Script reports `event.thaumcraft is undefined`	Use the top-level `thaumcraft.xxx`, not `event.thaumcraft.xxx`
