🚀 New in Version 2.1.0+ (The Framework Update)
- 🏗️ Architectural Overhaul: The mod has been rewritten from a monolithic renderer into a modular framework. This ensures better performance, stability, and easier integration for other mods.
- 🖥️ Optimized System Info: Drastically cleaned up GPU strings. Long, cluttered information (especially on Linux/Mesa drivers and Ryzen APUs) is now intelligently shortened for a clean look.
- 📏 Global Scaling: Added a
userScale option in the config (0.1x to 2.0x) to perfectly fit any screen resolution.
- 📐 Improved Spacing: New default X/Y offsets of 8 for a professional, "less cramped" appearance.
- 🌍 Full Localization: Complete translation support for German (de_de) and English (en_us) for all menus and keybindings.
- 🔌 Expanded Mod Support: Native real-time tracking for Thaumcraft, Botania, Blood Magic, and Astral Sorcery.
✨ Key Features
🎨 Clean Two-Column Layout
- Left Side: Game information (coordinates, world data, entities).
