Did you update your instance from a previous one on your launcher, or did you create a new instance and transfer the saves? This is a mismatched texture bug, and it's likely to happen when using old worlds on new versions. Pressing F3+T in game and waiting for several minutes (around 4-6) should reset all textures to their intended behavior and fix any texture issues in the future for this world.
And a brand new world I assume. It's difficult to determine the source of this issue because we haven't been able to reproduce it ourselves, but we've seen it a couple of times.
Is it consistent for you? We also added a mod called Gnetum on the last update that optimizes interfaces, but there's a slim chance could be affecting your game. Without repeated and reliable testing, there's little we can do.
Jumping in to say that I may be able to provide some more info on the issue if I can confirm it's the same as one I've faced before myself.
Could you possibly record the entire process of picking up the item, the screen going black, and then returning to normall?
It's happened in 3 games so far, local single player, on a server someone else hosted, and on my server. So Its pretty reproductible for me. I can do it again and get it recorded, but I imagine you'd want logs and whatnot, rather than just what it looks like?
Actually what it looks like is all I should need. I can also straight up suggest 2 solutions you can try to see if they both fix it:
- Disable Stellar Core
- Disable Advancement Plaques
If neither of those helps then it seems I'm mistaken and it's an entirely different issue.
Doing what Shiny suggested would be useful for additional context and maybe a fix, although I've seen this issue in other ways (famously known as the Slayer's Jumpscare).
In addition to the above, I can think of either reinstalling the pack again as some file might have corrupted, or disabling Gnetum.
If it's either Stellar Core or Gnetum, then those mods might have issues with specific hardware.
Actually, I believe it is a server-only issue. Similar to the masks screwing up - The screen flashes a lot but doesnt go black when I pick up a slayer game in a local world.
Bit hard to reproduce online as I only have one player acc but if you have a server I can go join it and pick up a book
If by flashing black you mean literally, that's still weird. If you mean that chunks reload, that's intended, as picking up the journal unlocks a new stage.
If this happens in servers only, It's quite likely it's caused by ID shift, where Optifine and other mods mismatch textures between clients and servers. The only way to fix that if with F3+T as I said, but then going into singleplayer then again into multiplayer will likely cause the same issue again. If it is that, there's nothing we can do to fix it.
Basically, you can fix it manually in the server, but every time you go into singleplayer and on the server, you will have to fix it again by reloading assets with that shortcut.
No it doesn't do the everything's black for 5 seconds thing in local world. I dont think the flashing is too bad, but not being able to see for 5 sec is. What other advancement plaques stages exist? so I can keep an eye out for the next one? I have only experienced it with this book
Let me explain the issue I faced and why I think you may be experiencing the same thing:
For whatever reason, Stellar Core causes Advancement Plaques to render incorrectly, turning your entire screen black until they disappear. Even after disabling all config options, it still occurs. This happened even with just the 2 mods installed and was easily reproducible, however, to my surprise, I didn't seem to encounter it in RotN.

In general, the slayers journal is the only one you would experience when exploring, they appear for obtaining:
- gemingots
- steel
- slayer's journal
- ice or fire dragonsteel
- soul forged steel
- a legendary weapon
- radiant chest
I recommend doing what Shiny said and removed Stellar Core, see if it keeps happening. Note that performance might or might not be impacted by removing that mod.
I just acquired steel on my server, and did not see any negative effects. Cant remember if there was a plaque, but I dont think there was one
