Have you checked that the other players also have the mod? As a new item is added I would assume that is why connecting fails, there would be a missmatch between items if one side doesn't have the mod installed.

Fortunately the mod should be very easy to add/remove to an existing save, as long as you are not mid way through pressing some wax at the time.

Also just checked and it works fine with 1.20.3, as the mod is fairly simple it is unlikely to break during updates.

Works fine in single-player but is causing others to be unable to connect when hosting a LAN game 

Buggi, it would seem that you have, however, I don't see a 1.19.x version in your files list, whereas this one does. If you want to complain about copycatting, update your work. Otherwise, someone else may take it upon themselves to do it for you.

I did this 2 years ago, it helps to search for a mod, it likely exists already.

not 100% sure but I think dana tweaks does this already in their mod! But I like the idea!

Just wanted to report that I tested this out in 1.20rc1 and everything seemed to work without issue!

Hope you enjoy! After playing with from golden combs for a while I decided I needed something to process all the honeycombs you end up with a bit faster

wow

didnt know i needed this in my life. thanks!!
