Changelog - EnergyLib v1.0.0

[1.0.0] - 2024-10-07

Added

• EnergyComponent System: Introduced core EnergyComponent<T> class to represent modular energy systems, including EnergyProducer, EnergyConsumer, EnergyStorage, and EnergyTransporter.
• Energy Networks: Dynamic energy network detection based on block placement. Automatically connect components such as producers, consumers, storage units, and transporters into energy networks.
• Energy Handling: Added energy management logic to balance production, storage, and consumption. Excess energy is stored in EnergyStorage components, and shortages are handled gracefully.
• Block Placement and Network Merging: Automatically detect neighboring energy components when a block is placed. Networks merge when a connecting block links two independent networks.
• Tick-Based Updates: Energy networks are updated every tick, managing energy flow and ensuring real-time behavior.
• PersistentDataContainer Integration: Energy networks persist across server restarts, using Minecraft's PersistentDataContainer for block-based data persistence.
• Energy Shortage Handling: Logic added to handle cases where energy production and storage are insufficient to meet consumer demand.
• Asynchronous Operations: Optimized network discovery and updating using async operations, with chunk-based limitations to ensure efficient performance.
