## v1.3.0 — Networks, IO & Facades ### ✨ New Blocks - **Network Cable** - Core backbone for the Wisp & Willow item network. - Automatically connects to controllers, drives, terminals, importers, exporters, and storage busses. - **Controller** - Central brain of the network. - Scans connected cables and devices to build a live item graph. - **Drive Bay** - Accepts storage disks and exposes their capacity to the network. - Items stored here are available to all terminals and IO blocks on the same controller. - **Amethyst Terminal** - Main UI for browsing, searching, inserting, and extracting items from the network. - Supports live updates as items move in and out of storage. - **Importer** - Pulls items *into* the network from an adjacent inventory. - Uses 9 **ghost filter** slots (no item consumption). - Has a toggle for **whitelist / blacklist** mode. - **Network Exporter** - Pushes items *out of* the network into an adjacent inventory. - Uses 9 ghost filter slots, matching Importer behavior. - Also supports whitelist / blacklist mode. - **Network Storage Bus** - Turns any adjacent container (chest, barrel, etc.) into **external network storage**. - Multiple storage busses on the same cable network are merged into a single virtual inventory. - **Cable Facades** - Right-click a cable side with a block to disguise it as that block. - Sneak + empty hand to clear the facade. - Purely visual: the cable still functions normally in the network. --- ### 🧠 Systems & Routing - **Willow Tree** - Updated Willow Tree Designs - Floral variant of leaves and vines added. - **Network Graph** - Cables and IO blocks now form a proper graph from each Controller. - Drives and Storage Busses are discovered and merged into one logical storage pool. - **External Storage Priority** - Insertion now prefers **external storage** (Storage Bus + attached inventories) first. - If all external storage is full/unavailable, items fall back to **drives**. - **IO Arms & Connection Visuals** - Importer, Exporter, and Storage Bus now display: - Arms for cable/network connections. - Special “valid interface” arms when connected directly to an inventory. - Makes it easy to see if a side is actually doing IO or just part of the cable backbone. - **Ghost Filter UX** - Filters are now true **ghost slots**: - Placing an item only copies a single-item ghost stack for filtering. - Does *not* consume items from your hand or inventory. - Shift-click on a filter slot now clears the ghost entry instead of moving items. --- ### 🛠 Fixes & Polish - Fixed storage busses attached to multiple chests only “seeing” one of them. - Fixed cases where storage busses wouldn’t register unless a cable was placed in very specific patterns. - Corrected **east/west orientation** on cable & IO arms so visuals now match actual world directions. - Improved blockstate/datagen for IO models so `_ext` (external connection) flags correctly drive the “valid interface” arm variant. - General stability improvements and visual polish for the early network layer. --- If you’re updating from earlier dev builds, it’s recommended to **break and replace old network blocks** (controllers, cables, IO blocks) in existing worlds to ensure all new blockstates and models are applied correctly.
