[1.0.0] — 2026-05-23

First stable release. Eleven Mahabharat-inspired weapons across five families, fully tested in-game across multiple iteration cycles. Drops the -alpha suffix carried through 0.1–0.4 development.

Highlights since v0.1.0-alpha

  • 11 weapons across 5 Mahabharat families (Sudarshana Chakra × 3, Gandiva × 3, Kaumodaki × 3, Vajra, Brahmastra).
  • Custom entity infrastructure — Brahmastra now fires a custom projectile that renders as the divine arrow item sprite (no longer looks like a Ghast fireball). Foundation for future custom projectiles.
  • Charge mechanics — Gandiva (hold-to-draw bow) and Brahmastra (hold-to-charge missile) with power scaling.
  • Ranged + melee + mining for Vajra — left-click melee (25 dmg), right-click ranged lightning at aimed target, mines blocks like a divine multi-tool.
  • Water-safe divine particles for Sudarshana Chakra — end-rod + dragon-breath + flame ring works underwater.
  • Tiered progression for the three physical weapons (Wooden → Iron → Divine) with distinct visuals, damage, durability, and particle effects per tier.
