Hello sir.
Will there be an update for 0.17?

I am sorry to say that i'm not using it anymore. Is there a specific problem you could tell me about which needs fixing? Then i might fix that.

No idea. But at the very least the mod version is still set to require base >= 0.16 meaning the in-game mod gui considers it incompatible.

I edited the mod files directly to set it as compatible with 0.17, and it failed to load due to the flag "goes-to-quickbar" being unknown.

Edit: I removed that line, and it loads up fine. I'm assuming that flag is from the pre-0.17 days where the hotbar was also an inventory of its own, and I guess you could control whether or not the item went to the hotbar when picked up? And now that it isn't an inventory, that flag was removed?
