Place your fluid tanks again to update their input and output locations, otherwise there will be mismatch with their models.

"Middle click to pick up structures" feature does not work in 1.21.1-1.21.3 because some inventory interactions in creative mode worked differently before 1.21.4. I'll try to come up with something in the future.

Let me know if there are any issues. I lost some code due to hard disk failure but hopefully everything is fine.

If you edited configs:
If upgrading from the previous version then all structures should work fine, however your old configs will not be loaded because they are expected at new locations. I suggest completely removing Torus folder (in /plugins), while keeping the backup, and letting the plugin generate new config files. After that, manually restore your custom configs.

If you encounter any issues please report them on my Discord server, or on Github.
