• Git remote URL updated to https://github.com/favasur/backrooms-hytale.git

Big refactor: Custom blocks → Vanilla override

• Removed all 3 custom Block_White_Build_Lightsource variants (ON/Flickering/Off)
• Created vanilla Build_Lightsource_White override at Build/Lightsource/ with:
  • AmbientSoundEventId: "Backrooms_Light_Buzz" for looping buzz sound
  • Light.Radius: 15 for actual world light emission
• Created Block_Lightsource_White_Off as OFF variant (same vanilla texture, no light, no sound)
• Flickering now works on the vanilla lightsource block — no custom block needed

Flickering timing rebalance

• Flicker burst chance: 50% → 12% (much rarer)
• Rest period between bursts: 0.5-1s → 2-6s
• Initial delay before first flicker: 0.25-1s → 1.5-4.5s
• Rapid cycling during bursts kept the same (1-4 ticks per state)
• BLOCK_OFF changed from Build_Black_Cube → Block_Lightsource_White_Off

Sound fixes

• Sound events restored at Server/Audio/SoundEvents/ (correct path the game scans)
• Removed old test path Server/soundevent/
• Added AudioCategory: AudioCat_Ambient back to both sound events
• Changed Volume from 0 back to 0.0 (matching original working format)
• Lightsource and Caveman Cutout now emit their looping ambient sounds correctly

Texture fixes

• Panel_2Tall and Panel_3Tall blockymodels:
  • doubleSided: true → false (single layer rendering)
  • Back face offset matches front face offset (was using different atlas region)
  • Right/left face offsets changed to x=0 (solid color, prevents texture bleeding)

2c7a211 — Fix Caveman/Stop Sign collision

• Block_Caveman_Cutout.json, Block_Stop_Sign.json
  • Removed Material: Solid field entirely (following base game plant block pattern)
  • Changed HitboxType from None -> Plant_Tall_Full (valid 2-block-tall plant hitbox)
  • Removes collision by mimicking how plant blocks handle it

b65d4d0 — Major rework: Flickering, sound, panels

New flickering variant block

• Created Block_White_Build_Lightsource_Flickering.json with buzz sound
• Deleted Block_White_Build_Lightsource_Dimmed.json (ON/OFF only now)

Rewritten flickering logic

• FlickeringTickingSystem.java: ON/OFF only, rapid cycling, 50% flicker start chance
• Buzz sound flickers naturally with block swaps

Double-layer texture fix

• Panel_2Tall.blockymodel, Panel_3Tall.blockymodel: doubleSided false

Sound fix

• Block_White_Build_Lightsource.json: restored buzz sound on FULL variant only
