Wrights 0.2.0

The biggest update yet: wrights now have parts, wrightports run on Forge Energy, and every wrightport gets its own hangar.

⚠️ Upgrading from 0.1.8

• The old Speed and Operations upgrades are replaced by wright parts. Existing upgrade items turn into the matching Rotor Assembly or Fabricator Head.
• Wrightports now run on Forge Energy. A newly placed wrightport starts empty, so charge it before its first job. Server owners can turn energy off in wrights-server.toml.
• Manage left the controller's mode scroll. Press B to open it from the menu.

✨ New Features

Wright Parts

• Every wright has three slots:
  • Rotor Assembly: flight speed, from 5 blocks/s up to 55 blocks/s.
  • Fabricator Head: actions per tick and reach, from 1 action on its own cell up to 19 actions across a 3×3×3.
  • Power Core: energy efficiency, down to half cost.
• Five tiers: Scout, Ranger, Vector, Tempest, and Apex, each with its own colour.
• Fitted parts show on the flying wright and on its item icon.
• Wright items keep their parts. Right-click a part onto a wright item to fit it, and hover a wright to see its speed, actions, and energy per action.

Forge Energy

• Every block a wright places, mines, swaps, or voids costs FE from the wrightport that launched it.
• A placed wrightport holds 1,000,000 FE and takes power from cables on either half.
• A personal wrightport draws from the batteries you carry, and fills from wireless chargers such as Mekanism's chargepad.
• Six charge bars fill and turn red, yellow, then green on both wrightports and their items. Jade shows the exact FE.

Hangar

• Right-click a personal wrightport (from your hand, inventory, or Curios) or a placed wrightport to open its hangar: ten bays, three part slots, and your inventory below.
• Click an empty bay to add 1–10 wrights, or All that fit, from your inventory or a linked network, with an option to craft them.
• Shift-click or drag wrights and parts in from your inventory. Right-click a wright to take it out.
• Click an empty part slot to fit the best tier you have. Click a fitted slot to take the part out.
• Mark several wrights and use Upgrade marked to set tiers, upgrade everything to the best parts on hand (optionally crafting from digital storage), or strip all parts.
• A coloured tip strip confirms every change: green for adding, orange for removing, red for warnings.
• JEI sits right beside the hangar.
• New wrights fly in from the sky and dock through a spiral iris hatch. Watch docking switches to third-person while they land.

Jobs & Crews

• Stall notices: when a job runs out of items or energy, a toast says why and how many wrights flew home. The job shows Stalled · missing items or Stalled · no energy, then resumes on its own.
• Jobs History window: a scrollable log with size, blocks, duration, anchor, and start and queue details.
• − / + on job cards change how many wrights a job may use.
• Personal crews dock home when you fly out of range, and rejoin the job when you come back.
• Manage lists each wrightport's wrights with their parts and status, and has Send home.

More

• Placed wrightports get Boundary and Bind Chest buttons. Personal wrightports get a Boundary toggle that shows your wrights' reach.
• Shape Square and Box get Equal sides. Exchange Circle gets a Floor / Wall mount.
• Options: minimum Job done toast length, and Watch docking.
• Help rewritten, with new pages for Wrights at work, Wrightports, Hangar, Parts & tiers, and Energy.

🔧 Changes

• Every model is rebuilt in a 3D drone-part style. The placed wrightport is now a two-block tower.
• B opens the menu on the page for your current controller mode.
• The controller remembers its last mode and tool across restarts and hotbar swaps.
• Round shapes are sized by Diameter instead of radius.
• Place, Mirror, Shape, and Exchange only arm from Build, so browsing their pages no longer changes your mode.
• A Need setup banner shows when a mode is missing a vital option.
• Wrights from a placed wrightport take blocks from that wrightport's chest and network instead of your inventory.
• GUIs shrink at high GUI scales, and long tooltips wrap.

⚡ Optimizations

• Wrights work from a hover point and handle a whole burst of nearby blocks at once, instead of flying to every block. This applies to paste, mine, undo, Shape, Exchange, and Place.
• Small shapes use predefined stands: a sphere is one hover, a 6×6 floor is four.
• Big jobs split into shares, and wrights that finish help the busiest share, so crews finish together.
• Large Shape crews no longer pile onto one cell.
• Exchange skips launching when nothing needs to change.
• Server caches clear between worlds, and wrightport scans are throttled.

🐛 Fixes

• The shared blueprint library saves safely with a backup, and no longer overwrites blueprints saved by another Minecraft instance.
• AE2 / RS craft state resets between worlds.
• A job that runs out of items no longer shows Running with 0 wrights, and no wrights freeze mid-build.
• Idle wrights fly home instead of searching forever.
• The last few shape blocks always finish.
• Exchange Wall boxes stand upright. Wall circles and short beams no longer misbehave at the end.
• Hanging sand stays put during blueprint undo.
• Highlighting a huge job no longer washes out the view.
• Adding wrights no longer pulls wrights off running Shape jobs.
• The B menu stays open when Resume re-arms the last build.
• The wrightport is pickaxe-mineable and keeps its wrights, name, and energy when broken.
