v1.3.0

What's Changed

• Updated to version 26.2

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.3.0

v1.2.0

This release adds support for [public] protection signs.

What's new

• Added [public] signs for protected containers
• Public containers can be opened by anyone
• Public containers still keep protection against breaking, explosions, and fire
• Only the sign owner or an admin can edit or remove a public sign
• Added support for dormant protection signs so alternate signs do not activate automatically
• Added admin command filters for public/private protected containers
• Cleanup now removes stale dormant sign records as well as stale active lock records

Notes

• Hopper and automation behavior is unchanged for protected containers
• This release targets Minecraft 26.1.1

v1.1.1

Summary

Rewrites SignEditMixin for better mod compatibility, robustness, and correct environment scoping.

Changes

SignEditMixin.java

• Change mixin target from ServerGamePacketListenerImpl to SignBlockEntity, injecting at HEAD of updateSignText instead of using a fragile INVOKE-before injection that captured local variables
• Remove @Shadow, LocalCapture.CAPTURE_FAILHARD, and all now-unneeded imports — the player, isFrontText, and filteredLines are all directly available as method parameters at HEAD
• Add instanceof ServerPlayer guard so the hook silently no-ops if somehow invoked outside a server context (e.g. future API changes)

private-chests.mixins.json

• Move SignEditMixin from the shared mixins array to the server array so it is never loaded on the client at all — the correct approach for a purely server-side mixin

Why

The original approach relied on LocalCapture.CAPTURE_FAILHARD to capture locals from inside ServerGamePacketListenerImpl.handleSignUpdate. This is brittle: any obfuscation or bytecode change in that method (or a conflicting mixin from another mod) can cause it to fail hard at startup. Targeting SignBlockEntity.updateSignText directly at HEAD requires no local capture and is far more stable across Minecraft versions and mod combinations.
