Whispering Currents

╔═══════════════════════╗
║       Whispering Currents v1.0.0          ║
║       ⚠  CONCEPT PROTOTYPE          ║
╚═══════════════════════╝

This release is a structural prototype only.
Items, rendering, A* pathfinding, and steering
code exist but the furnace scanning loop that
triggers item flights is not implemented.
Nothing functions in-game yet.

────────────────────────────────────────────
  Intended Flow
────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. Link Needle — shift-click chest, then
     shift-click furnace to pair them
  2. Path Whistle — click blocks to place
     ghost waypoints (optional)
  3. Mod monitors linked furnaces — when
     fuel or input is low, items fly from
     chest to furnace
  4. A* pathfinding avoids walls, dynamic
     steering avoids players and mobs
  5. Items render as floating spinning sprites
     with glow and particle trail — no entities
     for lag-free performance

────────────────────────────────────────────
  Known Issues
────────────────────────────────────────────

  ● No furnace tick scanner — flying items
    are never spawned (core missing piece)
  ● arrive() method uses wrong inventory
    access — item deposit is broken
  ● Link storage is per-player HashMap —
    not persistent, not world-saved
  ● Fuel vs input slot distinction not
    implemented
  ● Entity-based prototype — needs rewrite
    to pure data-driven (no entities)
  ● Waypoints are not dimension-saved
  ● Sound .ogg files are placeholders
