Hi WayofTime,
i tested your mod and it is very difficult to use it at the moment (new gamer)
But i hava a problem with the Binding Reagent in the new version (1.8.9-2.0.0-4) (Modpack Unstable)
I made the Hellfire Forge and but all the ingredients into it but nothing happends!

Here are a picture of it.

Is it a Bug?

I tested it with the mining Reagent, too. But it wont work too.

Hope you understand my bad english.

Greeting from germany
Aldi

As a side note, you can look up the requirements by hovering over the arrow in the recipe using JEI.

There's a minimum will requirement for almost all reagents - for the binding reagent you need 400 demonic will.
