Avarune 2.4.0

• Added pirate, cursed and desert arks with distinct geometry, palettes, guardian selections and guaranteed reward tables.
• Replaced the final custodian AI with telegraphed shockwaves and committed charges, a second phase at half health, attack animations and recovery windows. Charges respect walls and the arena.
• Added reusable Seeker and Aegis amulets: detect nearby sealed treasure, or absorb one creature attack while held in the off hand. Player-based recharge survives reconnects, respawn and amulet swapping.
• Added optional Haste and Fury conditions. Each pays one extra diamond on victory; their cost is shown before committing and each new round starts without a condition.
• Added eight original synthesized Ogg/Vorbis sounds with subtitles and activation/victory effects.
• Improved final-wave health information and protected menu decisions against stale packets after a condition change.
• Retained registry IDs, accumulated prizes, active deadlines and original reward rules for existing 2.3 arks.
• A charge blocked by Aegis consumes the attack's contact, preventing another hit during the same charge.
• Expanded native coverage to 54 integration tests and 78 captures, including armor tiers, three helpers, conditions, relics and actual custodian windups. The asset audit resolves 383 models and 228 textures.

Requires Minecraft Java 26.3, NeoForge 26.3.0.23-beta and Java 25. Install the same JAR on clients and server. Beta: controlled combat tests are documented; extended survival and broad modpack compatibility still need play feedback.
