Better Creative 2.1.1

Arcadia Better Creative is now Better Creative. Your settings and presets move over by themselves on the first launch.

Changed

• Renamed to Better Creative — The mod id is now bettercreative and its files live in config/better-creative/: settings in client.toml, presets in presets.json, the modpack whitelist in policy.json. Settings and presets from an earlier version are moved there automatically on the first launch. A modpack whitelist still at config/arcadia/arcadia-better-creative-policy.json keeps working and is left in place. The reload command is now /bettercreative policy reload.
• The former jar is refused with a clear message — Keeping the Arcadia Better Creative jar next to Better Creative would load both. The game now stops at loading and names the jar to remove.
• New mod icon — Stacked creative tabs, one gold tab lifted out and pinned with a star, matching the icon of the CurseForge and Modrinth pages.
• License 3.0, closed-source — The source code is no longer published. Playing the mod and including it in a CurseForge or Modrinth modpack that references the official file stay allowed, exactly as before. The protection of the name also covers the former name and mod id. Releases already published keep the license they shipped with. See the license and its plain-language summary.

Fixed

• Empty tabs are no longer listed in the settings screen — A tab a pack empties (with a KubeJS script, for instance) is hidden by the game, but the settings screen still offered pin and hide controls for it. It now lists only the tabs the creative inventory shows; settings stored for a hidden tab come back if the tab gets its items back.
• Pins on absent tabs are kept on save — Saving while a pinned tab's mod was removed dropped the pin. It is now kept, like the hidden list and the custom order.

Notes

• The server companion is now called Creative Admin. Locked tabs reach Better Creative from Creative Admin 2.1.1 and from the earlier Arcadia Creative Admin alike.
• Bug reports: report a bug, the same form the issue link of the mod list opens. Anything the license does not already allow: ask for a permission.
