What is Starbunclemania?
Starbunclemania is part of this pack, which ships version 1.5.1 of the mod (file starbunclemania-1.21.1-1.5.1.jar). It has been in the pack since version 3.0 or earlier, so it's a long-standing part of the mod list rather than a recent addition.[1]
Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Starbunclemania does or who it is aimed at, so I can't tell you about its features or mechanics here. They also don't show any quests in this pack that involve it, and they don't place it on the ATM Star path, so I can't say where it fits in the pack's progression.
How do you get started with Starbunclemania?
4 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Starbunclemania is all about giving your Starbuncles new jobs. Most of its items change what a Starbuncle does, such as moving fluids, moving energy, voiding items, placing blocks or mining. In this pack the first thing to get is the Fluid Jar, because the other fluid items build on it.[2]
Step one: make a Fluid Jar
The Fluid Containment Jar comes first. The pack changed its recipe, so don't rely on what you remember from the mod's defaults.[3]
Crafting Shaped
| Empty slot | any gold ingot | Empty slot |
Recipe id: starbunclemania:fluid_jar
You can also place a Wixie on a Fluid Jar to make the Wixie Mixer. The jar is used in the recipe for the Glyph Pickup Fluid glyph too, shown below.[2][3]
The glyph picks up fluids from the world and fills a tank in the hotbar or next to the turret.
Step two: make a Source Condenser
The pack uses the Source Condenser to get Source into a form that Fluid Hatches can handle. The Runic Crucible needs Source, and this pack has no Source Hatches to supply it. Place a Source Jar with some Source next to the condenser and it turns the Source into Liquefied Source. The quest a quest in "?" covers this, and in the Forbidden & Arcanus chapter it comes after Tier 5 Forge.[4]
The pack also has a Create mixing recipe that produces the Source fluid. The pack changed this one too.[3]
Mixing (create)
Amethyst Shard
- any experience 12 consumable
Recipe id: starbunclemania:mixing/liquid_source_1000
Next: make a Starbucket
The Starbucket changes a Starbuncle's job to carrying fluids around. It's made at an Enchanting Apparatus, and the Fluid Jar you already have goes into it.[2][3]

- 4× any gold nugget
Recipe id: starbunclemania:star_bucket
Step four: pick your other Starbuncle jobs
Once fluids work, add the other job items as you need them. These have recipes the pack changed:[3]
- StarbAttery makes a Starbuncle transport FE energy.[2][3]
- StarBin makes a Starbuncle void the items it picks up and the items from linked chests.[2][3]
- Starbuilder makes a Starbuncle place blocks in specified spots.[2][3]
- Starminer makes a Starbuncle mine blocks in specified spots. You can give it a tool, and it defaults to an iron pick.[2][3]

How does Starbunclemania work?
5 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
Starbunclemania is built around one idea: you give a familiar a piece of headwear, and that changes what it does. What the sources describe are familiar jobs, Wixie workstations, and some fluid and Source items, not big multiblocks or standalone machines. Here is how each part works in this pack.[2]
Starbuncle job items
Each of these changes a starbuncle's job. Here is what the tooltips say about them.[2]
- Starbucket makes the starbuncle transport fluids around.[2]
- StarbAttery makes it transport FE energy around.[2]
- Starballoon makes it transport Mekanism chemical around. It can be dyed, and it supports Starbuncle, Drygmy and Wixie familiars.[2]
- Starbuilder makes it place blocks in specified spots.[2][3]
- Starminer makes it mine blocks in specified spots. You can give it a tool to use, and it defaults to an iron pick.[2][3]
- StarBin makes it void the items it picks up, and items from linked chests.[2][3]
- Square Robin Mask tweaks the starbuncle's item transport to round-robin items between inventories, and it also stops pickup.[2][3]
The pack changed the crafting recipes for the StarbAttery, the StarBin, the Starbuilder and the Starminer, so don't trust the mod's default recipes for those. The recipes below are the in-pack ones.[3]

The Starbucket, the Starballoon and the Square Robin Mask use their standard mod recipes. The Starbucket and the Starballoon are made at an Enchanting Apparatus.[3]

Direction scrolls and fluid scrolls
The Wyrm Degree is a cosmetic for Starbuncles and Bookwyrm familiars. It also allows item starbuncles to read Direction Scrolls.[2]
There are also Fluid Scroll: Allow and Fluid Scroll: Deny. Each has a recipe that clears the scroll back to blank, and the pack does not change those recipes. The sources don't explain how the scrolls are applied, so I'm leaving out the details.[3]
Crafting Shapeless
Blank Parchment
Water Essence
- any cobblestone
Recipe id: starbunclemania:fluid_scroll_deny
Wixie workstations
Using a Wixie Charm on certain blocks changes which recipes your Wixie works with. These are the options the tooltips describe.[2]
- Furnace: the Wixie uses smelting and smoking recipes.[2]
- Stonecutter: the Wixie uses stonecutter recipes.[2]
- Cutting Board: the Wixie uses cutting board recipes.[2]
- Cooking Pot: the Wixie uses cooking pot recipes.[2]
- Crucible: the Wixie uses Eidolon's crucible recipes.[2]
- Fluid Containment Jar: the Wixie uses the milk and water in the side tanks for crafting recipes instead of buckets. The advancement text calls this the Wixie Mixer.[2]
The Fluid Jar recipe was changed by the pack, so check the in-pack version here.[3]

Source and fluid handling
The Source Condenser and the Fluid Sourcelink each have their own recipe. The Source Condenser is made from a Source Relay and a Fluid Jar. The sources don't describe exactly how either one behaves, so I'm not going to guess.[3]

Recipe id: starbunclemania:fluid_sourcelink
The pack changed how Source fluid is made. A Create mixing recipe turns an amethyst shard and an experience consumable into Source fluid. The pack also changed the Mekanism rotary recipe that links Source gas and Source fluid.[3]
Mixing (create)
- any experience 12 consumable
Recipe id: starbunclemania:mixing/liquid_source_1000
Rotary (mekanism)
- Source Fluid
- Source Gas
Recipe id: starbunclemania:gas_to_liquid_source
Fluid spell glyphs
The mod adds fluid glyphs for your spells. Glyph Pickup Fluid picks up fluids from the world and fills a tank in your hotbar or next to the turret. Glyph Place Fluid places fluid in the world, draining from a tank in your hotbar or next to the turret.[2][3]
Both glyphs accept several augments. AOE increases the radius of targeted blocks, Pierce increases the depth, and Randomize adds a chance to not target a block. Sensitive on the pickup glyph targets the block hit directly instead of the relative position. On the place glyph, it places the fluid inside the block hit instead of relative to it.[2]
Unverified No config files for this mod were provided in the sources here, so any config options it has are not shown. Treat anything configurable about the jobs and fluid items as unconfirmed.
How do you progress through Starbunclemania?
3 parts
Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide
In this pack's quest book, Starbunclemania shows up in one place: the quest a quest in "?" in the Forbidden & Arcanus chapter. It comes after Tier 5 Forge, so that is the point where the mod enters your progression.[4]
The Source Condensation quest
The quest has two tasks: get a Source Condenser and a Source fluid bucket. The reason is that the Runic Crucible needs Source to work, and the pack has no Source Hatches to supply it.[4]
The Source Condenser is the pack's workaround. Place a Source Jar with some Source next to the condenser and it converts that Source into Liquefied Source, which Fluid Hatches can handle.[4]
This is the item the quest asks for.
The condenser needs a Fluid Containment Jar, and the pack has changed that jar's recipe from the mod's default. Use this one.[3]

Other recipes the pack changed
A few more recipes differ from the mod's defaults in this pack: the Starminer, StarBin, StarbAttery and Starbuilder. Check these in-pack versions rather than relying on what you remember from the mod elsewhere.[3]

The pack also changed how Source fluid is produced. There is a Create mixing recipe that makes it, and a Mekanism rotary recipe that links Source gas and Source fluid. Both are marked as changed by the pack.[3]

How does Starbunclemania work with other mods?
3 parts
In this pack, every recipe that connects Starbunclemania with another mod runs through Ars Nouveau items. Most Starbunclemania items are crafted from Ars Nouveau materials, and a few use Ars Nouveau's own crafting types. The pack's quest book has no quests for this mod, so these recipes are the whole picture.[5]
Source and fluid handling
The Fluid Containment Jar uses a recipe the pack has changed, so don't rely on the mod's default. The in-pack recipe below includes a Cascading Archwood Log from Ars Nouveau.[5]

This recipe is changed by the pack.
The Source Condenser is a shapeless recipe, so layout doesn't matter. You combine a Fluid Jar with an Ars Nouveau Source Relay.[5]
The Fluid Sourcelink uses an Ars Nouveau Source Gem, a Source Fluid Bucket and a gold ingot.[5]

Scrolls and glyphs
The Fluid Scroll: Allow, Fluid Scroll: Deny and Direction Scroll are all shapeless recipes, so layout doesn't matter, and each is built on Ars Nouveau's Blank Parchment. The Allow and Deny scrolls are the ones that bring in Water Essence, while the Direction Scroll is the one that reaches into vanilla with a Compass. The exact in-pack recipes are below.[5]

The spell glyph Glyph Place Fluid uses Ars Nouveau's glyph recipe type, and its in-pack recipe below is built around a vanilla Dispenser.[5]
Wearables and the Starballoon
The Alakakrinos Hat, Drygmy Horns, Sea Bunny, Blues Hat, Starby Ears and Whirli Propeller are all shaped crafting recipes that start from Ars Nouveau's Magebloom Fiber. The Square Robin Mask instead builds on Ars Nouveau's Starbuncle Shades. The exact recipes are below.[5]

What changed in Starbunclemania between versions?
Starbunclemania has been in All the Mods 10 since version 3.0, and it has only been updated twice since. Here's the full timeline of the pack's changelogs.[6][7][8]
- All the Mods 10 3.0: Starbunclemania 1.4.0.0 was added to the pack.[6]
- All the Mods 10 4.0: updated from 1.4.0.0 to 1.4.0.1.[7]
- All the Mods 10 4.11: updated from 1.4.0.1 to 1.5.1.[8]
All the Mods 10 4.14 ships Starbunclemania 1.5.1, using the file starbunclemania-1.21.1-1.5.1.jar. If you're on 4.11 or later, you already have this version.[1][8]
Unverified The pack changelogs only list version numbers, and no changelogs for the shipped jars are available. What actually changed in the 1.4.0.1 and 1.5.1 updates, such as new features, fixes or balance tweaks, is unverified here, so check the mod's own release notes before assuming anything.
