🐝 Minions Addon — Version 1.1.0

The biggest update yet. The minion experience has been completely rethought from the ground up.

✨ What's New

🖥️ Brand New Minion Menu (The Big One)

The old menu is gone. The new one is a fully native inventory screen — it opens instantly like a chest, feels completely smooth, and you can interact with it exactly how you'd expect in Minecraft.

• No more lag or flicker. The old menu used Minecraft's form system which caused a black flash every time it refreshed. The new one updates silently in the background — inventory slots just update while you're looking at the screen.
• Your items don't move. The old menu would sometimes eat your items or drop them on the floor during lag. That's fixed. Items are properly tracked and always returned to your inventory when you close the screen.
• Fuel slot is interactive. Drop your fuel item in and it goes in cleanly. The lore on the fuel slot shows the exact time remaining and total fuel duration so you always know when to refuel.
• Two upgrade slots. Click an existing upgrade to get it back.
• Live stats. Mining speed and slot count update in real time so you can see changes after upgrading mid-session.

⚡ Performance & Engine Overhaul

Minions are now dramatically cheaper to run, especially when you have lots of them.

• Smart saving. In the old version, every single property update (tier, inventory, fuel, etc.) immediately wrote to disk. Now changes are batched and saved every 5 seconds, cutting write calls massively.
• Memory cache. All active minions are now held in memory instead of re-reading from disk every tick. A world with 50+ minions will run noticeably better.
• Data is saved on shutdown. If the game closes or crashes, all unsaved changes are flushed before the world shuts down so nothing is lost.
• Multi-dimension support. The main minion loop now correctly processes minions across all dimensions.
• Accurate Offline Catchup. Catchup calculations now accurately re-evaluate inventory state step-by-step to properly apply compactors and diamond spreading across long offline periods.

🔧 Smarter Minion Behaviour & Safety

• Full Inventory Safety. Collecting items or removing upgrades while your inventory is full will now drop items safely at your feet rather than losing them.
• Inventory Full indicator. When a minion's storage is full, its name turns red with "Inventory Full" so you can spot it from a distance. It also tries to dump into adjacent chests automatically.
• Better slayer targeting. Slayer minions no longer double-read the mob list when calculating their next kill target.

🗂️ Upgrade Guide for Existing Worlds

No migration needed. All your existing minions will carry over their tier, inventory, fuel, and upgrades automatically. The new menu will just replace the old one when you right-click any minion.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the minion menu crashing when opened on a max-tier minion (Tier 11). It now correctly shows a "Max Tier Reached" indicator instead of erroring out.
• Fixed an issue where collecting items or taking out upgrades with a full player inventory would silently void the item instead of dropping it on the ground.
• Fixed the minion engine running twice simultaneously in certain conditions, causing minions to work at double speed, burn through fuel in half the time, and double-process block actions.
• Fixed items being dropped on the floor when closing the old menu during lag.

Thanks for playing — more types and upgrades coming soon.
