Furnace Distributor 2.0.0

This is a major update focused on improving item distribution, collection, feedback, configuration, performance, and overall usability.

New Features

• Reuse Saved Areas: Press Sneak + R to quickly reuse your previously selected furnace area.
• Collection Selection Mode: Sneak, look at a furnace, and press C to start selecting an area to collect from.
  • Press C again while looking at another furnace to confirm the area.
  • To collect from a single furnace, confirm while looking at the same furnace again.
  • Press X to cancel the selection.
• Improved HUD: Contextual information is now shown while selecting, distributing, or collecting.
• Visual Settings: New visual configuration options have been added.
• Experience Collection: Collecting furnace outputs now properly awards stored experience and handles recipes like vanilla Minecraft.

Improved Distribution

• Items are now distributed based on the actual available space in each furnace.
• Furnaces with limited space are handled correctly before the remaining items are redistributed.
• Existing items inside furnace slots are respected.
• Items with different properties are no longer incorrectly combined.
• Distribution now properly respects valid recipes for furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers.
• Any items that cannot be distributed remain with the player instead of being lost.

Improved Collection

• The new collection selection mode makes it much easier to collect from multiple furnaces at once.
• Selected furnaces are highlighted with purple outlines.
• The HUD displays how many furnaces are currently selected.
• Selection is automatically cleared when appropriate, such as after dying, disconnecting, or changing dimensions.
• Inventory handling, experience, and recipe progress are preserved when collecting items.

Better Player Feedback

The feedback system has been redesigned to reduce chat clutter.

• Area selection is now shown through the HUD and block outlines.
• Successful actions, quantities, remaining items, cancellations, and most errors now appear in the action bar.
• Partial results now display their result and warning together instead of one message replacing another.
• Configuration explanations remain available through tooltips.
• Save errors are shown directly inside the configuration screen with options to retry or leave without saving.
• Chat is now reserved only for important messages that may need to remain visible.

If the HUD is disabled, important selection feedback is automatically shown in the action bar instead.
