Obtaining & Background Currently, a Ground Rock can only be obtained by using commands. It was originally planned to be used as part of the world generation process and would have generated within most biomes, with the goal of adding additional environmental detail. It would also have the practical use of dropping 1 stone when broken, functionality which the block still retains currently. It can sometimes be seen as a decorative object in certain areas in Survival, and is intended to become available as a decorative piece at some point in the future. History Main MC Server MC 1.16.1 Added Ground Rock Changed model to 3D model now uses default Stone texture Old, incomplete model remains within the resource pack as ground_rock_old MC 1.18.1 Ground Rock is now handled via CUCraftingPlus Changed vanilla material from Stone to Paper

Obtaining & Background Currently, a Ground Branch can only be obtained by using commands. It was originally planned to be used as part of the world generation process and would have generated within most forests, with the goal of adding additional environmental detail. It would also have the practical use of dropping 2 sticks when broken, functionality which the block still retains currently. It can sometimes be seen as a decorative object in certain areas in Survival, and is intended to become available as a decorative piece at some point in the future. History Main MC Server MC 1.16.1 Added Ground Branch Set 3D texture to MC 1.18.1 Ground Branch is now handled via CUCraftingPlus Changed vanilla material from Stick to Paper Trivia The Ground Branch is actually the first custom block introduced in CUCraftingPlus, and holds the first data value within the material ID list (500). The wood of the branch actually uses the Oak Log texture in vanilla Minecraft - the only custom texture for the branch is the leaves.

Obtaining The Upgrade Station can only be obtained via crafting. It takes 2 Wooden Planks, 1 Enchantment Table, 4 Sticks, and 2 Amethyst Shards. any_planks;enchantment_table;any_planks stick;amethyst_shard;stick stick;amethyst_shard;stick upgrade_station false false false Usage When interacted with, the player is presented with a screen with several different slots, along with several other elements. The two standalone slots with the Hammer and Shard icon are intended for the desired tool to upgrade, and an Amethyst Shard respectively. When a tool is inserted, the large gray region to the right will be populated with all available upgrades. Hovering over each upgrade will list its requirements and describe its features. The 3x3 grid on the bottom left is where any ingredients required for the desired upgrade should be placed. The icon directly above the purple Upgrade button will indicate the status of the upgrade, and will inform the player if an upgrade cannot be completed - such as if the player is missing required items, if no upgrade is selected, or if the upgrade is already applied. If an upgrade cannot be applied, it will display with an X. If no item is installed in the tool slot, it will display with blue ellipses. If all upgrade requirements are met, the icon will display with a green checkmark. When the Upgrade button is clicked after all requirements are met, the provided ingredients and Amethyst Shard are consumed, and upgrade is applied to the item. Upgrades can only be applied to an item once, and there is currently no support for leveling up upgrades. History Main MC Server MC 1.18.2 Added the Upgrade Station

Classic GUI Technique The traditional technique for creating custom GUIs that can be found almost univerally across many plugins, both public and private, is to blank out unused slots with Black Stained Glass Panes or to simply leave them blank. Various items are used for buttons and interactive elements. This technique remains the only technique used in most of the gamemodes within Chaotic United outside of Survival. Slot Mask Technique An early attempt to raise the bar for custom GUIs was to leverage a series of 'Slot Mask' items. Most commonly used was the GUI Slot Mask item, which is used to block out an entire inventory slot. Several additional items were also created to act as buttons and other GUI elements, which are listed below. While this technique has largely been succeeded by the GUI Overlay Technique, it is still used on rare occasion for specific use cases. Generic Buttons Back Next Cancel Confirm Refresh Generic Icons Arrow Left Subtract Add Pointer CUMarketplace Add Buttons CUMarketplace Subtract Buttons CUMarketplace Miscellaneous Buttons Browse Listings Browse Listings (Alternate) Add New Listing My Listings Price Hover Button (Unused) Set Custom Listing Price CUMarketplace Preset Price Buttons Generic Icons (Unused) Arrow Left (18px) Pointer (Alternate) GUI Overlay Technique The most advanced GUI technique is the GUI Overlay Technique. This is used exclusively in Survival, as it relies on the use of the server resource pack in order for GUIs to display properly. This approach relies on overriding the textures of specific text characters in the in-game font with various "alignment helpers", as well as the actual textures of GUIs themselves. These characters are strategically placed within the title of a container, and can result in GUIs of a significantly higher quality than would usually be expected from a container-based GUI, despite being technically identical under the hood. Some examples of this technique can be found with the Upgrade Station GUI along with Crafting and Furnace recipe previews in the Recipe Guide (accessible by using /recipes ingame).

Obtaining The CUItemSpawn Inspector can only be obtained using commands. Additionally, it can only be obtained and used by certain staff members. Users without the appropriate permissions will be unable to use the item, even if they obtain it. Usage To use the inspector, right-click on a block while holding the inspector. With the appropriate permissions, information about the clicked block will be displayed in chat. History Main MC Server MC 1.16.2 Added the CUItemSpawn Inspector as part of CUItemSpawn Added a custom texture for the CUItemSpawn Inspector MC 1.18.2 With the introduction of CUCraftingPlus and the migration away from Optifine CIT-based items, the texture was incidentally changed back to

Background Currently, the CUGates Wand cannot be obtained. It could previously be obtained using the /cugates wand command, however since CUGates 2.0 was never completed (and was later removed), it was made inaccessible without manually assigning the appropriate lore to an item. With the update to MC 1.18.1 and the introduction of CUCraftingPlus, the CUGates Wand was never assigned any data values or item model, and as such, it was made unobtainable. Variants The item has 3 different appearance states, which would be used depending on the actions performed. Initial Position 1 Selected Position 2 Selected History Main MC Server MC 1.16 Added CUGates Wand textures MC 1.18.1 CUGates Wand is no longer accessible, as Optifine CIT-based items are no longer supported, and the item was not made available through CUCraftingPlus Trivia The blue and orange colors for the CUGates Wand states were inspired by the Portal Gun colors from Portal/Portal 2

Obtaining Currently, the GUI Slot Mask can only be obtained using commands. Usage The GUI Slot Mask item is primarily used as an administrative utility to create simple GUI screens. Since all custom GUIs are powered using containers, these items were planned to be used as a way to block out unused slots. Traditionally, this is done either by leaving those slots blank, or by using an item such as Black Stained Glass Panes to indicate that the slots are unused. The texture for the GUI Slot Mask is slightly darker than the default inventory container, in order to counteract the unavoidable lighting that is applied to all items within an inventory - ensuring it matches the standard inventory background color perfectly. While this item can be seen in certain cases, it has largely been replaced with new GUI overlay textures. For more information, see the GUI Techniques page. History Main MC Server MC 1.16.1 Added the GUI Slot Mask

Obtaining Currently, the Hydra Staff cannot be obtained. The only current evidence of its existence are its texture and its reserved data values in CUCraftingPlus.
