Changelog

0.1.0+1.21.1 — (21/10/2026)

Added

• Drawers link to a Storage Controller by touching it, directly or through other drawers, trims and blocks of the #contiguousstorage:conductors tag. Faces only. The controller's range still applies.
• Three modes in contiguousstorage-common.toml: OFF, ASSIST (default, never unlinks) and STRICT (a drawer that no longer touches its network is unlinked).
• STRICT: the Linking Tool, in single and area mode, keeps only the drawers that touch, and says how many it dropped.
• STRICT: a safety net re-checks every loaded network every validationIntervalTicks (100).
• Feedback: "N drawer(s) disconnected" to the player who cut a chain, smoke on cut drawers (at most 32 per cut), and a sparkle on drawers linked by placement.
• /contiguousstorage dryrun: how many drawers STRICT would unlink, in any mode, without changing anything.
• Trims: one per Functional Storage wood, addon woods included, and a framed trim. trimsEnabled turns their recipes, creative tab entries and conduction off.
• Storage Drawers' trims in the conductor tag, as optional entries.
• Auto-link requires that the player who placed the drawer may interact with the controller (spawn protection, world border).

Fixed

• Functional Storage 1.5.7's server freeze while loading a drawer linked from another chunk than its controller. This backports Functional Storage's own fix, and applies only to 1.5.7 and older.

Notes

• Needed on both client and server, because of the trims.
• Land claims are not checked by auto-link.
• A drawer put back by a machine (Create contraption, deployer…) is not linked by placement.
• Tested with Immaterial Drawers 0.2.1 and Create 6.0.10. Create cannot move Functional Storage's own drawers.
• Functional Storage's own cost on very large networks is documented in the README, not changed.
