v0.9.0 BETA — Skill Trees ⚡

The biggest update yet: origins now have skill trees. Fight to earn Essence, then reshape how your abilities play with branching, lock-in upgrade paths.

✨ New — Skill Tree system

• Essence currency earned by fighting: mobs (10 kills = 1), vanilla bosses (10), players (4, anti-farm capped). Anti-farm scaling stops mob-grinder abuse; passive animals give none.
• 3 paths per ability, each with 3 tiers (R1 → R2 → R3 capstone) — choose one path and lock it in. ~100+ distinct upgrades.
• Universal Progression tree (Mana Well, Swift Recovery, Essence Hunter) for every origin.
• Re-spec with a Nether Star (3× per world).
• Open with /gr:skilltree or the Menu Book. Admin /gr:give_essence <n>.
• Live for Lightning, Shadow, and Beast. Remaining 12 origins arrive over 0.9.x.

✨ New — reworks & entities

• Lightning Form teleport reworked to a tappable anchor entity — tap it to blink where you look (reliable on PC / mobile / console; the old invisible-block version is gone).
• Beast Predator's Scent True-sight path — a real through-walls target marker via an isolated see-through material (doesn't affect any other rendering — no more X-ray on blocks/players).
• Shadow Smoke decoy — spawns a dark humanoid decoy figure.
• Beast Rampage Alpha — summons wolf companions tamed to you.

🐞 Fixes

• Lightning no longer self-heals off its own bolts (self-heal-back exploit removed; fire immunity kept as a clean passive).
• Shadow Vanish no longer strips enchantments/durability from stashed gear.
• Kill-credit fallback so ability-kills (bypass damage) correctly trigger Rampage extension, Reap chain, and PvP Essence limits.
• UI readability pass (skill tree text + rank labels).

📌 Built on the 0.8.x base

• 15 origins × 4 ability slots (60 abilities) · trust system · 4 languages · custom blocks & entities · particle-level performance scaling · real /gr: slash commands.
