ShulkerChest v1.6.0 - Changelog

A critical hotfix addressing item loss after server restarts.

Critical Bug Fix

• Items no longer disappear after a server restart! Previously, if you restarted the server, put items in a Shulker, broke it, and placed it again, all items would vanish. This has been fully resolved.

Root Cause

The mod was not reloading saved items from the database when a player opened an existing Shulker after a server restart. The in-memory tracking was lost on restart but the database synchronization was never re-established, causing items to be silently lost upon the next break/place cycle.

What Changed

• Auto-restore on open: When a player opens a Shulker that isn't currently tracked (e.g. after a restart), the mod now automatically loads its contents from the database.
• Safety-net save on break: The mod now always saves the container's current state to the database before clearing it during a break event. This acts as a safety net even if real-time sync hooks fail.
• Hook failure diagnostics: If real-time sync hooks fail to register (due to Hytale API changes), the server console now shows a WARNING message instead of failing silently.

Important Note

If you change the slot capacities in the config.json, please restart your server twice.

1. The first boot triggers the auto-patcher to update the physical game assets.
2. The second boot ensures the Hytale client reads those updated assets for a perfectly synced UI.
