🔧 Technical Implementation

Key Components

1. StorageManager

• Central Management System: Tracks all items and chests across the storage network
• Concurrent Data Structures: Thread-safe implementation using ConcurrentHashMap
• Search Engine: Global search functionality with intelligent caching
• Item Registry: Maps items to their storage locations
• Category Management: Manages chest categorization and item routing

2. ItemCategory

• 12 Smart Categories: Minerals, Food, Blocks, Tools, Weapons, Armor, Redstone, Potions, Decoration, Agriculture, Mob Drops, Uncategorized
• Automatic Detection: Categorizes items based on their names and types
• Extensible System: Easy to add new categories or modify existing ones

3. Main Mod Class

• Initialization: Sets up the mod and initializes core systems
• Logging: Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring
• Mod ID: smart-storage-system

4. Client Handler

Client-Side Logic: Handles client-specific initialization Future UI Integration: Ready for user interface implementation

✨ Features Implemented
