Fairy Lights 8.0.7 - Connection Placement & Item Drop Fixes

Major Fixes

Connection Placement System

• Fixed placement after breaking: Hanging lights can now be placed at different distances after breaking the first fastener. Previously, the connection would remain in the player's hand and block new placements.
• Fixed reconnection logic: When placing a connection at a different distance, the system now properly handles reconnecting to a new destination or creating a new connection if the old destination is invalid.
• Improved connection validation: The placement system now correctly ignores removed or invalid connections, allowing new placements even when stale connection data exists.

Item Drop System

• Fixed swapped light drops: When breaking a hanging lights connection, all individual lights from the pattern (including any lights you swapped in) are now properly dropped as items. Previously, swapped-in lights would be lost.
• Fixed drop behavior: Pattern items are now dropped both when manually disconnecting a connection and when breaking the fastener block, ensuring you always get your lights back.

Technical Improvements

• Enhanced connection type matching to allow reconnection when types match
• Improved handling of stale connections in player capability
• Better null safety checks in connection removal code
• Fixed item dropping to occur in both onRemove() and disconnect() methods

Notes

• Breaking a hanging lights connection now returns all lights that were placed in the pattern
• You can now freely place connections at different distances without being blocked by previous placements
• The connection system now properly cleans up invalid connections automatically
