# 1.0.4
Hotfix release covering altar geometry adjustments and pack-dev recipe cleanup.
## Altar: Master Tier and Up
- The outer ring of capstones (bloodstone) now sits at the **four diagonal corners** of the Master tier instead of the four cardinal positions, so the bloodstone caps form an X around the + of the inner blood-stained-glass caps. Affected tiers: Master, Archmage, Transcendent.
- The optional pillar columns that previously sat at the cardinal positions of the outer ring have been removed entirely from the default tier layouts. Builds that included those pillars will still scan as valid (the optional flag only ever gated requirement, not presence); builds that match the new layout no longer need them.
- The spiral particle effect that orbits the bloodstone caps follows the new corner positions automatically.
## Pack-Dev Recipe Cleanup
- Removed redundant static recipes for ingot/dust smelting and corrupted-dust alchemy table recipes. These were generated twice: once into the JAR as shipped recipes and a second time at runtime from `MaterialRegistry.populatePack()`. The static copies referenced material items by name and produced startup error spam when a pack disabled a material stage in `config/neovitae/materials.json` (e.g. using a different mod's gold dust). Only the runtime-generated copies remain, and those are conditional on the material stage being enabled.
- Pack devs who want to disable a stage (set `dust` out of a material's `stages` list, for example) no longer get a flood of `Unknown registry key` errors for recipes referencing the missing item.
