Ars Polymorphia in All the Mods 10

Ars Polymorphia is a small compatibility mod. It adds Polymorph support to the Storage Lecterns from Ars Nouveau, so you can craft items right from the Storage Lectern's terminal using the same ingredients you already have in it.^[1]

What it does for you

Sometimes one group of ingredients matches more than one recipe. When that happens, a button appears above the output slot. Press it to see a list of every possible result, then pick the one you want and the crafting output changes to match.^[1]

Polymorph remembers your last selection as long as the ingredients don't change. That means you can craft the same choice over and over without picking it again.^[1]

Who it is for

It's for anyone who uses Ars Nouveau's Storage Lectern as a crafting terminal and runs into ingredient overlaps between recipes. If you never craft through a Storage Lectern, you won't notice this mod at all.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships Ars Polymorphia 1.0.3. It has been in the pack since version 4.3 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list.^[2]

Unverified The sources I have don't show this mod on the ATM Star path, and they don't show any quests, recipes or config options for it in this pack. Treat it as an optional convenience rather than a progression step.

Good news: there's no long crafting chain to follow here. Ars Polymorphia adds Polymorph support for Ars Nouveau's Storage Lecterns, so you can craft items using the ingredients stored in the Storage Lectern's terminal.^[1]

How to use it

The mod matters when the ingredients in the crafting grid match more than one recipe. In that case, a button appears above the output slot.^[1]

1. Open the Storage Lectern's terminal and put a group of ingredients into the crafting grid.^[1]
2. If the ingredients match more than one recipe, press the button above the output slot to see a list of all the possible results.^[1]
3. Select the result you want. The crafting output changes to match your choice.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, quests or items for this mod, so there is no first item to craft and no recipe to show here. Whether the pack changes anything about how it behaves is also unverified.

Ars Polymorphia is a small compatibility mod. It has no machines, multiblocks or power systems of its own. It adds Polymorph support to Ars Nouveau's Storage Lecterns, so you can craft from the Storage Lectern's terminal and still choose between recipes that share the same ingredients.^[1]

How recipe selection works

When you craft through the Storage Lectern's terminal, the ingredients you use are the ones the terminal already works with. If that group of ingredients matches more than one recipe, a button appears above the output slot.^[1]

1. Set up ingredients in the Storage Lectern's crafting terminal that match more than one recipe.^[1]
2. Click the button that appears above the output slot. It shows a list of all possible results.^[1]
3. Pick the result you want. The crafting output changes to match your choice.^[1]

Polymorph remembers your last selection as long as the ingredients don't change. That means you can repeat the same craft without choosing again each time.^[1]

What isn't covered

Unverified Nothing available for this mod explains configuration options, items, recipes, or any power, fluid or automation handling. The only confirmed behavior is the recipe-selection button in the Storage Lectern terminal described above.

There isn't much history to cover here, and that's a good thing: Ars Polymorphia has been a steady presence in the pack. It was added to All the Mods 10 in version 4.3, and that release brought in Ars Polymorphia 1.0.3.^[3]

In All the Mods 10 8.1 you're still on Ars Polymorphia 1.0.3, so the mod's version hasn't changed between its arrival and the pack version this guide covers. The pack file lists it as ars_polymorphia-1.0.3.jar.^[2]

Unverified The mod's own changelog for version 1.0.3 isn't available, so what changed inside the mod itself in that release is unverified. The same goes for any pack-specific tweaks to its recipes or configs across releases.
