BlendedCraft 1.6.0 — The "Everything Actually Works Now" Update

⚔️ Combat & Traits

• Material traits now work on every crafted item! Fiery weapons set enemies on fire, slime swords knock enemies back, cactus armor pokes attackers, quartz swords deal bonus damage — all traits were silently broken before this release.
• Traits only appear on items that make sense. No more "Auto-Smelt" on swords or "Fire Aspect" on chestplates — each trait is restricted to its proper item type (auto-smelt on mining tools, fire aspect on swords, set bonuses on armor, etc.).
• New sharpness trait: fully quartz-made swords get Sharpness V (+3 bonus damage per hit), blended quartz swords get Sharpness I. Works with every quartz block type — quartz, smooth quartz, quartz bricks, pillars, slabs, stairs, and nether quartz ore.
• Fixed bonus damage not applying — trait bonus damage is now part of the actual hit instead of a fragile second damage event that often got ignored.
• Knockback and Haste rebalanced to surviveable vanilla-max levels (Knockback II, Haste II — the old values exceeded what's obtainable in vanilla).
• Emerald armor Luck is now vanilla Luck (previously showed impossible Luck II/III).

🥾 Slime Boots

• Slime boots bounce like slime blocks — fall from 3+ blocks and boing! Hold shift to land softly.
• Small hops and normal walking are completely unaffected — no more bouncing on every step.
• Fixed being teleported to the ground when walking near edges or brushing against walls.
• Fall damage immunity while wearing them.

🔥 Auto-Smelt (Blazing Harvest)

• Auto-smelt now works — cobblestone drops stone, sand drops glass, ores drop ingots.
• Works with Fortune — they stack. Fortune multiplies the drops, auto-smelt cooks them.

🎲 Trait Levels — Full vs Blended

New rule for all multi-level traits: make the item entirely from a special material and get the maximum vanilla level; blend it with other materials and get level 1.

💥 Nether Star = Unbreakable

Craft a tool or armor piece entirely from nether stars and it becomes unbreakable. Blended nether star items keep normal (huge) durability.

🎨 Textures

• Cactus items actually look like cactus (they were random orange before!)
• Mob heads use real mob colors — wither skeleton, skeleton, zombie, creeper, dragon, piglin, and player heads all sample their actual skin textures.
• Compasses render correctly (regular + recovery) — previously random colors.
• Better support for blocks whose textures are split into parts (grass, logs, pumpkins, and similar now resolve their _side/_top textures automatically).

🛠️ Backward Compatibility

• All your old items update automatically on load: wrong-level traits get re-leveled, misplaced traits get removed, old full-nether-star items become unbreakable, and old slime boots keep bouncing.

🔧 Under the Hood

• Deprecated API calls cleaned up — no more warnings.
• Fixed a bug where saving/loading could silently wipe all traits from items.
• Improved internal damage-event handling for mod compatibility.
