Description of the issue:

I put hemp rope coil on two structural cable connector game say they are connected, and it disappeared from my hand but there is nothing visible and no hitbox.
I dont use optifine i use Iris.

Versions & Modlist

1.18.2-8.0.1-147

Are there plans to be compatible with Rubidium? I also had issues with cables not being visible

No, Rubidium requires even more hacks than OptiFine in this case. I've implemented them as a separate mod here (build), but they will not be added to IE itself. Wires should work with that, but I don't know how much is still broken.

Edit: Builds are now done via GH releases, this link should always point to the latest one.

Thanks! This did fix the issue with the cables not being visible

That's not a modlist.

Try it without Iris

ok i found the problem "Rubidium" was to blame

I was seeing this as well with all wires and ropes from IE in version 1.18.2. It was caused by Optifine, because I had the Options > Video Settings > Performance > Render Regions set to ON. Changing this setting to OFF fixed my issue, I can see wires and ropes now.

Thanks! That definitely fixed it, though the code was not as hacky as promised - I was expecting an endless spaghetti jungle of mixins and rewritten copies of Sodium's guts. Glad to be disappointed 👍
