Chocobos Reborn 1.0.7 - Fresh paint

Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.249, Java 21, client and server. An art pass with a few fixes. Existing saves, farms and courses are untouched, and the birds themselves are unchanged.

Art

Every item, block and crop stage is redrawn by hand at 32x32, in the same style as the rest of the Ninjacat Skies family: one tinted outline, light from the top left, flat colour ramps, no blur.

• The eight greens are eight different plants now, not one leaf in eight colours: gysahl's pale bulb, curiel kale, a krakka star, mimett clover, a pahsana sprig, a reagan palm leaf, sylkis blades tied with wire, tantal vine and berries.
• Every nut has its own shape — carob pod, sage round, olive acorn, almond, walnut, plum, chestnut and the gold zeio in its husk — so you can tell them apart in a full chest.
• Armour reads as a set of four, each tier with its own hem and metal: stitched leather, riveted iron, faceted diamond, jagged netherite.
• Tack: the saddle has a seat, flap, blanket and stirrup; the saddlebags are two buckled pouches.
• Gysahl crop stages grow from two seed leaves to a full crown with the bulb showing.
• Square gates share one navy-and-copper frame, each with its own glyph: gem, one chevron, two chevrons, a turn-back arrow. The boost pad's chevrons still scroll.
• The Almanac's pages keep their layout in a navy panel with a copper frame.

The art now comes from tools/pixel_items.py in the repo, so it can be regenerated.

Fixes

• Mud only slows birds on a race course. The course-bog penalty applied to any mud block anywhere, so birds ridden through a mangrove swamp crawled. Boost pads and bogs now work in Whiskerwind only.
• The bookie quotes the right odds. A Class B bird entered in a Class C heat was shown "pays 3x" and paid 2x.
• Scratching from a heat no longer sends you home. Sneak-clicking the keeper while entered now just scratches; a second sneak-click still takes you home.
• Crowds from crashed heats are cleared. A crash left the grandstand fans on the course island, and every rerun added another crowd.
• The dismount lock is server-side only, so an operator teleport no longer leaves a racer stuck in the saddle on their own screen.
• The bird ledger saves only when a record changes, instead of on every tame bird's chunk save.

Docs

• The Almanac and README now match the code on Carob prizes: a Class B win pays one 15% of the time, a Class A win 40%, and every Class S race pays one, with a rare Zeio on a Class S win.
