StorageGuide

StorageGuide v2.2.0

This release adds configurable client visuals, a subtle held-item status indicator, and an in-game operator settings workflow.

Client settings and Mod Menu

• Added an optional Mod Menu configuration screen.
• Added persistent client settings in config/storageguide-client.json.
• Added configurable colors for located-chest highlights, successful held-item lookups, and missing or incompatible lookups.
• Added RGB sliders, live previews, hexadecimal labels, individual defaults, and a complete reset option.
• Added an option to disable the held-item hotbar status.
• Mod Menu remains optional and is not required on dedicated servers.

Subtle held-item status

• Pressing ~ now briefly recolors Minecraft's original selected-slot texture to show lookup status.
• The indicator appears only when the held-item locator is used; it is not continuously visible.
• The original vanilla texture shape and placement are preserved, including resource-pack styling.
• The configured color is blended with vanilla white for a clean, subtle result.
• Status lasts 2.5 seconds and blends smoothly back to normal during the final 600 milliseconds.
• Switching slots, selecting an empty slot, hiding the HUD, entering spectator mode, or disconnecting cancels the status immediately.
• Successful status means the selected item has a configured destination.
• Missing status means it is unassigned or incompatible.
• Empty shulkers use their exact color assignment.
• Non-empty shulkers succeed only when all non-empty contents resolve to one configured chest.

Operator settings

• Added an in-game server settings screen.
• Added /storageguide settings and an Operator Settings button in the client configuration screen.
• Operators can enable or disable the sloppiness detector through the GUI.
• Server settings remain server-authoritative and permission-checked.
• Non-operators can open a read-only version of the menu.
• Permission explanations, save confirmations, and rejected updates now appear inside the menu instead of StorageGuide chat messages.
• Unsupported menu features are guarded by networking capability checks.

Networking and rendering

• Added dedicated payloads for requesting, opening, and updating operator settings.
• Added permission and status information to operator-menu responses.
• Added a client GUI mixin limited to the vanilla selected-slot sprite draw.
• Used Minecraft's native sprite tint path rather than drawing an additional border.
• Kept world-highlight colors on the shader-compatible native gizmo renderer.

Documentation

• Expanded the README with Mod Menu installation, client visual settings, operator settings, hotbar behavior, and troubleshooting.
• Added detailed maintenance and verification notes to the handoff.
• Added a complete v2.2.0 entry to CHANGELOG.md.
