## Summary - Added a unified manual tool for anchors, pumps, and copper casing. - Added material access from carried vanilla shulker boxes. - Improved route interactions with inventories, machines, terminals, and held items. - Added configurable cascading construction animations and previews. - Improved the radial menu, controls HUD, and material indicators. - Fixed anchor, freecam, manual undo, and pump direction issues. - Improved missing-material feedback with sound, pulse, and movement. - Optimized route calculations, preview rendering, and material handling. #### Gameplay Changes - Added a unified manual tool for anchors, mechanical pumps, and copper casing, selected from the radial menu and used with the same contextual control. - Added chronological undo for manual route edits, allowing the latest anchor, pump, or casing mark to be removed with one control regardless of its type. - Added an optional setting that lets manual pumps and casing marks guide the route as anchors without changing their placement behavior. - Added direct access to pipe and pump items, plus copper casing availability, inside carried vanilla shulker boxes. - Added a client option to disable shulker material access; loose inventory items always remain the first source consumed. - Added cascading construction with configurable `50`-`1000` ms delay, optional zoom, complete-route preview, and next-piece preview settings. - Added contextual route interactions: a pipe is required only to start, while the active preview remains available after switching held items. - Preserved normal use of chests, shulker boxes, Create machines, AE2 terminals, and other inventory blocks while routing. - Added air confirmation, selected-pipe confirmation over normal blocks, and `Shift` + right-click as an explicit confirmation override. - Kept active routes paused instead of cleared while inventory and configuration screens are open. - Added a short error sound when placement is rejected because required materials are missing. #### Optimizations - Counted direct inventory and shulker materials in shared passes while retaining inventory-first consumption. - Cached repeated route plans and reused preview geometry and render paths across the normal, construction, and zoom previews. - Limited the controls HUD to actions that are relevant to the current route and split long control rows before reducing text size. - Scaled the radial menu automatically on displays with limited vertical space. - Simplified payloads, route-state helpers, render parameters, enum methods, and repeated block-state lookups. - Removed unused constants, overloads, imports, payload classes, and other dead code found during the project-wide cleanup. #### Bug Fixes - Fixed route previews being cleared when the player stopped holding the selected pipe. - Fixed inventories, modded terminals, machines, and shulker placement being blocked by route confirmation. - Fixed selected-pipe confirmation being lost after restoring normal block interaction priority. - Fixed anchor and freecam combinations recalculating routes from stale or inconsistent targets. - Fixed undo stopping at an anchor when manual pumps and casing marks were also acting as route anchors. - Fixed manual pump direction not following the shared reverse-pump setting. - Fixed missing-material feedback highlighting the wrong material source or destabilizing the rest of the HUD. - Fixed the Pipe Connector `OFF` message failing to appear and fixed the status text briefly returning at full opacity when its fade ended. - Fixed construction settings and previews not updating consistently while an animated route was already active. - Fixed overlapping construction previews remaining visible after their corresponding pipe pieces were placed. #### API Changes and Additions - Added focused feature packages for manual route actions, shulker material access, interaction resolution, status feedback, and missing-material alerts. - Added synchronized per-player shulker preferences so servers consume stored materials only when the owning player allows it. - Added client configuration entries for shulker access, manual support anchors, cascade delay, zoom animation, full-route preview, and next-piece preview. - Consolidated manual route history and pump direction payloads around shared action models. - Added concise Spanish Javadocs to the new and changed gameplay, networking, rendering, configuration, and material classes. #### Art Changes - Refined the radial menu layout, title hierarchy, selected-option description, background opacity, and responsive scaling. - Added a permanent central manual-tool indicator and direct left/right cycling without opening another radial category. - Simplified pump and casing disabled options with Minecraft item icons and removed pump direction from the radial menu in favor of `R`. - Reworked the materials HUD to separate required, inventory, shulker, and reserved counts with consistent colors and spacing. - Added stacked, color-preserving shulker icons with overflow counts and a compact casing availability indicator. - Added a subtle shake and color pulse to missing-material feedback while keeping all other material values stable. - Added a Pipe Connector `ON`/`OFF` status message that appears immediately, remains readable, and fades out smoothly. - Added a smoother overlapping zoom and settling effect to progressive route construction.
