## Features / 功能

**One-Key Scan / 一键扫描**
Instantly scans all pistons (normal & sticky) in loaded chunks with optimized performance.

**Smart Categories / 智能分类**
Results grouped into 4 types: inactive/active × normal/sticky, with live count statistics.

**Pinyin Search / 拼音搜索**
Search by Chinese characters, full pinyin ("shitou"), initials ("st"), or English registry names — no input method switching needed.

**Grouped Results / 分组浏览**
Pistons are grouped by the block in front of them. Click to expand/collapse each group.

**Click-to-Locate / 点击定位**
Click any result to highlight the piston with a gold wireframe that glows through walls, with on-screen coordinates.

**Smart Guidance / 智能引导**
Highlight auto-clears when you approach within 3 blocks, or if the piston is destroyed/chunk unloads.

**Area Selection / 区域选择**
Press Z twice to define a cubic region; subsequent scans only search within that area. Green wireframe shows the selected region.
