Create Kart - Version 3.1.0 : NeoForge 1.21.1

[DevNote]

Hello everyone! Welcome to version 3.1.0 "Kart on the Ice"! Originally, this update was simply planned to modify the wheels and introduce sliding mechanics. However, the Ponder tutorials turned out to be much easier to develop than expected; they literally nibbled away at and 3.1 absorbed the futur version 3.3 that was dedicated to them, bringing Ponder straight into 3.1.0!

This version brings major mechanics centered around glued wheels, the glue applicator, sequential assembly via Create, deployer recoloring, Ponder tutorials, and improved handling (stronger braking, better coasting, and steering without accelerating). All karts without glue retain their familiar behavior, while opening up exciting new automation and sliding possibilities!

[Additions]

🧱 New Gluing & Handling System:

- Glued Wheels: Shift + Right-Click a kart with glue. Create Super Glue (green wheels) provides grip, higher water speed (~4x faster), sharper cornering, and faster deceleration. Ice Glue (blue wheels) makes the kart slide everywhere (except water) with unique spin-in-place mechanics when coasting on ice. Glue wears down gradually (4 durability points per use).
- Ice Glue ("Super Ice"): A new item crafted from Super Glue and blue ice.
- Glue Applicator: A solid block that automatically applies glue to passing karts (charged via right-click with glue).

⚙️ Automation, Assembly & Tutorials:

- Sequential Assembly: Karts can now be assembled automatically using Create's sequential assembly mechanism (chassis on a depot/belt, deployed step-by-step through the 11 stages).
- Deployer Recoloring: Easily dye karts of any color by placing them on a depot under a deployer holding any of the 16 vanilla dyes.
- Ponder Tutorials: Fully animated Ponder scenes included for kart assembly, the glue applicator, recoloring, and refueling.
- JEI Support: Displays compact kart crafting recipes in JEI.

🏆 Advancements & Details:

- Two new achievements: "That's Sticky!" (using Super Glue) and "Kart on the Ice" (using Ice Glue).
- Enhanced tooltips and server configuration options for wheel behavior, coasting, and braking.

[Changes]

🏎️ Improved Handling (All Karts):

- Real Braking: Pressing the reverse key while moving forward now acts as a strong brake (stops in ~0.75s with white particles), before engaging reverse gear.
- Coasting & Steering: Karts coast slightly longer when releasing the accelerator, and you can now steer left/right even without pressing the accelerator pedal.
- Backward Compatibility: Worlds from version 2.5.0/3.0.0 load seamlessly, and incomplete karts in player inventories automatically convert to the new system.

[Bug Fixes]

- Resolved compatibility paths and data migration for legacy incomplete items upon pickup.
- General stability improvements matching the shared 3.1 codebase.

⚠️ Breaking Changes & Requirements

- Network Protocol 6: The server and all connected clients must run version 3.1.0. 
- Required Dependencies (NeoForge): Requires NeoForge 21.1.219+, Create 6.0.10+, GeckoLib 4.9.3+, and Java 21
