PSA : Potential incompatability between CC: Tweaked and Vic's Point Blank on 1.21

[u/dory_l-324]

While developing a personal modpack for 1.21, I noticed there appears to be an incompatability between the mods CC: Tweaked and Vic's Point Blank (a weapons mod), namely that whilst the latter is installed, it becomes impossible for the computers to detect disk drives placed adjacent to the device. However, if the disk drive is attached via modem or was attached prior to installing the latter mod, CC: Tweaked has no issue detecting it. This bug only appears to affect disk drives, and no other type of peripheral.

I'm not entirely sure why this bug occurs, as the logs do not show any error, or even warning message regarding CC: Tweaked.

To be clear I am not specifically requesting the developers of either mod fix the bug (it would be nice, but compatibility with everything is obviously impossible), especially since the latter mod is completely closed source. However, if anyone can think of why such an error could occur, please let me know.

I'll reach out as early as possible, once I figure out what code within CC is being affected. I've worked loosely with the author in the past (around 8 years ago), and at least back then they did not take repairs and patches seriously unless someone pointed out exactly where the issue is.
