⚠️ WORLD COMPATIBILITY WARNING

Version 2.0.0 completely reworks the mold system. Molds now have durability (5-10 uses) instead of being infinite.

This update is NOT compatible with existing worlds that have old molds.

✅ Recommended: Start a new world

⚠️ Legacy worlds: Discard all old molds before updating

❌ Old molds may not work and may cause issues
