Magic Storage v1.0.3 Release Notes

A major quality-of-life, performance, and bug-fix update for Magic Storage (Minecraft 1.12.2)!

 What's New & Key Features

"Open Remote" Shortcut Keybind

• Open Remote from Anywhere: Added a dedicated keybind (Left Alt by default) to instantly open your linked Remote Access GUI straight from your inventory without having to right-click it in your hand.
• Smart Inventory Search: Pressing the keybind automatically finds and opens the first valid, linked remote in your inventory.

 Enhanced Crafting & Smart Auto-Fill

• Dynamic Grid Auto-Refill: Taking an item off the 3×3 crafting grid automatically refills the emptied slot. The system checks the Storage Network first, and if empty, draws matching items from your Player Inventory.
• Shift-Click "Craft All" (Grid Locked): Shift-clicking a craft result crafts all available sets of items currently on the grid and moves them directly to your inventory. Matrix ingredients are consumed cleanly without pulling unwanted extra items from the network.
• Recipe Locking: Batch crafting automatically locks onto your intended item. If ingredient depletion causes the grid output to change to a different recipe (e.g. from Charcoal to Chests), crafting stops instantly.
• JEI "+" Multi-Item Fill & Equal Stack Distribution: Shift-clicking the JEI "+" button fills recipe slots up to a full stack (64 items per slot). Ingredients required in multiple grid slots (like wood for swords or iron for pickaxes) are divided equally across all relevant slots.

Dynamic Furnace Smelting Support

• Universal Fuel Compatibility: The Storage Heart now accepts any fuel item (vanilla or modded) placed in the center slot.
• Uniform Input Smelting: Smelting requires matching input items across filled grid slots. Smelting consumes 1 input per filled slot and probabilistically consumes fuel based on total burn time.

Anvil Station Priority & Modded Repair Fixes

• Modded Anvil Recipe Priority: Placing items in an Anvil-equipped network prioritizes modded Anvil recipes over vanilla damaged-armor repairs, preventing accidental enchant loss.

Quark & Modded Wooden Chest Compatibility

• Universal Chest Support: All Magic Storage recipes now support any modded wooden chest (including Quark variant chests) via OreDictionary integration.

UI, Localization & Fixes

• Localization: Added full English translations for all filter, sort, JEI sync, and search options.
• Sort Tooltips: Improved button tooltips to clearly display current sort modes (Quantity, Name, Mod) and sort directions (Ascending vs Descending).
• Bidirectional JEI Search Sync: When JEI search sync is enabled, typing into either the Magic Storage search bar or JEI's search box instantly updates both in real-time.
• Keep/Reset Search Text: Closing the storage GUI with "Keep Search" disabled properly resets the search box for a clean interface on reopen.

Server Performance & Desync Fixes

• Server Lag Choke Fix: Optimized network item indexing from O(N²) to O(1) HashMap lookups, speeding up storage inventory scans by up to 5,000×.
• Batch Network Refreshing: Replaced synchronous GUI refreshes during item transfers with asynchronous batching, eliminating server freezes and CPU spikes when handling thousands of items.
• Desync & Ghost Item Elimination: Refactored shift-crafting and hotbar hotkey (1-9) interactions to run identical client-server sync loops, resolving item duplication and ghost item glitches.
