+A hotfix for the Forge 26.3 jar, with no other changes. Worlds from 1.1.0-beta.8 load as before, and

+### Fixed

+- Released jars were missing files the game needs, because the list of files allowed into the jar was
+  written by hand and never kept up: the equipment recipes (since 1.1.0-beta.4), the thermal view's
+  post effect and shader (since beta.5), and the smoke particle and the drafting table's recipe, model
+  and block state (since beta.6). Development runs read the source folders, so they hid it. The list now
+  comes from the repository's resource folders.
