Awesome. Thanks so much for doing this!

Awesome news. Glad to see that we were able to make a transition. For people who are going to ask, they should remove K&K and transition to this which is 100% backwards compatible (correct? )

On Forge, you would disable & hide from forge inventory. If you have manual copies that you installed from Github, you'll want to delete those.

I'd recommend that maybe you add some clarity to post #1 about "How to transition"

Great thank you!

That's a good suggestion, thank you. I'll do that.

dbachen is right. Jack of All Things is 100% backwards compatible. You should disable and hide Kit'N'Kaboodle on your Forge account. And if you have downloaded any releases from github, you should also delete any copies of KitNKaboodle.ext in your extensions folder.

This is the best "upgrade" news in a long time. This is such an essential extension. It does so many important behind-the-scenes things that nothing else does. Great work, and thank you.

Thanks, Farratto, for taking this on. I thought I read somewhere that Jack of All Things can be used to automatically destroy potions once they're consumed. I set the "Charges" section to 1, never, destroy. That doesn't work. Am I missing something, or is that not a feature of JoAT?

It is working for me. Did you tick the box next to the healing potion spell after you casting it?

I must have a conflict with another extension. Potions added before have a box to tick, but new potions added don't have a box. Also, when I ticked the box on an old potion, I got this error.

I'll investigate and find the conflict.
