Pocket Factories 0.2.0-rc.1 — Fabric Update

Minecraft 26.3 | Fabric Loader 0.19.5 | Java 25

This update brings improved factory management, real-time connection diagnostics, an integrated player guide, and expanded technology-mod compatibility to Pocket Factories for Fabric.

New Features

Improved Factory Management

• Redesigned factory controls with four organized tabs.

• Clearer configuration of all six exterior faces.

• Improved visibility of factory status, permissions, and connection settings.

• Easier access to existing factory management features.

Factory Diagnostics

• New server-authoritative diagnostics help identify disconnected or unavailable interfaces.

• Displays relevant connection status, including unloaded interiors, missing backing machines, and disabled ports.

• Automatically updates connection information without force-loading chunks.

• Helps troubleshoot automation problems directly from the factory interface.

Integrated Player Guide

• Added a searchable, 10-topic in-game guide.

• Explains factory creation, upgrades, automation connections, redstone, permissions, and relocation.

• Includes troubleshooting information and an explanation of loaded-only operation.

• Available offline without additional mods or external websites.

Expanded Mod Compatibility

• Added verified compatibility with selected Logistics: Automation 0.8.12 components.

• Copper Transport Pipes and Item Extractor Pipes are validated for supported factory upgrades, preserving their contents, configuration, and functionality.

• Confirmed continued compatibility with previously supported Energized Power 3.0.1 machines.

• Performed additional testing with selected Tech Reborn beta machinery.

Compatibility limitation: Tech Reborn machinery is not yet approved for factory upgrades. Unsupported machines or structural dependencies may cause upgrades to be safely refused.

Stability and Performance

• Preserved all three factory tiers: Basic (7×7×7), Advanced (15×15×15), and Industrial (31×31×31).

• Preserved existing factory identities, interiors, inventories, permissions, and recovery systems.

• Verified representative existing Fabric saved worlds through the update.

• Revalidated transactional item, fluid, and energy handling.

• Confirmed that factories do not automatically force-load chunks.

• No significant unexplained performance regressions observed in the matched validation workload.

Validation

• 44/44 original acceptance gates passed.

• 30/30 Fabric-specific acceptance gates passed.

• 36/36 PF-007 feature acceptance gates passed.

• 110/110 total acceptance gates passed.

• Validated with independently installed graphical clients and a dedicated server.

• Independent clean rebuild reproduced the exact production JAR.

• No unresolved critical or major defects within the documented tested scope.
