Is there any way to stop the planner/upgrader/blueprint/whatever-it-is from going into inventory after using it? I believe this started happening with v1.1.

It's been that way since September I think. I want to keep the ability to open the GUI by right clicking the item and that's only possible if i allow it to be in the inventory, I guess i could add a startup setting to disable it (or a player setting that would remove the planner whenever it is not on the players cursor, not sure what i prefer.

Please do!

Did this option ever get added?

I would like to recommend that when i clear my hand the planner goes away, instead of into my pocket. i can use the icon in the top left to configure it.

or perhaps a per player option where if the icon on the top left is disabled, the planner goes in their pocket, but if the icon is enabled, the planner does not go into my pocket.
