🧾 Changelog

v2.0.0 – Major Rewrite & Network Overhaul

This update represents a full codebase modernization and feature expansion from earlier versions.

🧱 New Blocks & Items

• 🆕 Intake Block – automatically pulls nearby items into the network
• 🆕 Process Probe – adds the foundation for automated sorting, filtering, and future processing logic
• 🧠 Reworked Storage Controller – now serves as the centralized access point with improved synchronization
• 🛠️ Linking Tool – rebuilt for stable connection logic and simpler linking flow

⚙️ Network System

• Rewritten using Fabric’s PayloadTypeRegistry API for both C2S and S2C packets
• Added new packet payloads for:
  • Sorting mode changes (SortModeChangePayload)
  • Filter category updates (FilterCategoryChangePayload)
  • Deposit, extraction, and synchronization requests
• Removed legacy packet handling — all network traffic now uses modern, stable handlers
• Improved multiplayer synchronization and reduced desync issues

🧩 Gameplay & Features

• New category-based filtering system, managed by the CategoryManager reload listener
• Updated screen handler logic for real-time network updates (StorageControllerScreenHandler)
• Added ExtractionRequest, DepositRequest, and SyncRequest handling with server-safe context execution
• Built-in Sort Mode toggle directly through GUI
• Foundation for advanced automation logic (Process Probe feature)

🎨 Creative Tab Integration

• Added a custom creative tab itemGroup.smartsorter
• Includes: Storage Controller, Intake, Output Probe, and Linking Tool
• Uses the new Fabric v1 Item Group API for flexible ordering and display

🧰 Registry Cleanup & Refactor

• All registries use modern Identifier.of(MOD_ID, name) pattern
• Consolidated block and item registration into clear modular methods:
  • registerBlocks(), registerBlockItems(), registerBlockEntities(), registerScreenHandlers(), registerTools()
• Improved logging structure with informative lifecycle output
• Removed deprecated calls and simplified init process

🧠 Architecture & Optimization

• Simplified init order for better readability and maintainability
• All data (controller links, probes, filters) safely serialized into world files
• Modularized network handler registration
• Better separation between client → server and server → client sync events
• Performance improved in large networks with hundreds of inventories

🧪 Developer Notes

• Introduced FeatureSet.empty() for safe ScreenHandler registration
• Server handlers now use context.server().execute() for thread-safe access
• Networking rewritten to comply with Minecraft 1.21+ Fabric API standards
• Full migration away from legacy ServerPlayNetworking.registerReceiver calls

---

(Legacy)

• Original implementation of Storage Controller and Output Probe
• Basic item routing & linking system
• Initial Fabric API integration
• No process or category logic — purely item-type-based filters

---

Next Planned Update (v2.1.0):

• 🧮 Configurable chest priorities
• ⚙️ Enhanced Process Probe logic (basic crafting automation)
• 🌍 Cross-dimensional access and wireless network expansion

Smart Sorter 1.1.0 - 1.21.9/1.21.10 Release

Mod rewritten for Minecraft 1.21.9 Fabric

Smart Sorter 1.1.0 - Critical Fixes, Priority Routing & Added Features

Smart Sorter 1.1.0 - Critical Fixes & Priority Routing

Major update fixing critical bugs and adding intelligent priority system!

🚨 Critical Fixes

Item Insertion Bug (MAJOR FIX)

• ✅ Fixed items not inserting into upgraded chests
• ✅ Fixed double chest detection (was only seeing one half)
• ✅ Fixed modded chest compatibility (Iron Chests, Sophisticated Storage, etc.)
• ✅ Items now properly fill all available slots

Before: Upgrading a chest would break item insertion
After: Chest upgrades work seamlessly - all slots are detected

Memory Leaks & Crash Prevention

• ✅ Added automatic link validation (prevents crashes from deleted blocks)
• ✅ Proper cleanup when blocks are removed
• ✅ Fixed orphaned references causing memory leaks
• ✅ WorldEdit/command block deletion now handled gracefully

Performance Improvements

• ✅ Optimized network sync (only updates viewing players)
• ✅ Reduced unnecessary inventory checks
• ✅ Better caching strategy for large networks

---

✨ New Features

Storage Controller

You now have a storage hub for all your items connected by probes. Intake block still works.

Hidden Priority Routing System

Items now automatically route to the correct chests!

Routing Order:

1. FILTER mode chests (checked first)
2. PRIORITY mode chests (future feature)
3. ACCEPT_ALL mode chests (overflow only)

What This Means:

• Diamonds now go to your diamond chest, not your junk chest
• Filtered chests are prioritized over accept-all chests
• Items only overflow to accept-all when filtered chests are full

---

Better Mod Compatibility

• ✅ Universal inventory detection (works with any mod implementing Inventory)
• ✅ Proper double chest handling (vanilla & modded)
• ✅ Support for chests with 100+ slots (Iron Chests, etc.)

Enhanced GUI

• ✅ Search box for filtering items
• ✅ Improved capacity indicators (color-coded warnings)
• ✅ Better scroll handling
• ✅ Cleaner item count display (K/M/B formatting)

---

🔧 Technical Changes

Code Improvements

• Removed hardcoded slot indices (better maintainability)
• Added comprehensive debug logging
• Improved NBT serialization (buffer persistence)
• Better separation of concerns (cleaner architecture)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed cursor item placement in GUI
• Removed redundant Ctrl+Click controls
• Fixed quickMove() slot handling
• Proper inventory reference passing (no more stale data)

Developer Notes

• Added extensive code comments for future features
• Prepared framework for user-configurable priorities
• Ready for sorting/filtering GUI additions
• Cross-dimensional support infrastructure in place

---

📦 Installation

1. Download smartsorter-1.1.0+1.21.1.jar
2. Place in your mods folder
3. Requires Fabric Loader 0.17.2+ and Fabric API

Smart Sorter v1.0.0

Features

Intake pulls from a neighboring inventory only when there’s a valid destination.
Output Probes decide acceptance and point toward the target inventory.
Link one Intake to many Probes with the Linking Tool.
Smarter moves: small batches, prefers stacking into existing slots first.
Drops correctly; mineable by pickaxe or axe.

Compatibility

Minecraft: 1.21.1
Loader: Fabric
Requires: Fabric API
Java: 21

How to Use

Place Output Probes by clicking the face of the chest/barrel you want to insert into—the probe faces that block.
Place an Intake on the side of the source inventory you want to pull from.
Link: right‑click the Intake with the Linking Tool, then right‑click each Output Probe.

NOTE : Recipe unlocks when getting redstone.
