🐺 2. Werewolf Balance & De-Griefing Overhaul

• Block Devour / Biting Removed:
  • Werewolves can no longer bite or destroy blocks. Player pillars, shelters, and builds are now 100% safe from werewolf destruction!
• Major Stat Adjustments (Fair Melee Combat):
  • Health: Reduced from 300 HP (Wither level) ➔ 120 HP (Challenging apex predator, but fair).
  • Movement Speed: Tuned down from 0.40D ➔ 0.33D (Allows tactical kiting, arrow spacing, and sprinting away).
  • Attack Damage: Reduced from 16.0 (8 hearts) ➔ 11.0 (~5.5 hearts).
  • Armor & Toughness: Reduced from 8 Armor / 4 Toughness ➔ 4 Armor / 2 Toughness.
  • Knockback Resistance: Reduced from 85% ➔ 60% (Allows weapons to push them back).
  • Follow / Tracking Range: Halved from 64 blocks ➔ 32 blocks (No longer sniffs you out from across the map).
  • Attack Pace & Bleed: Melee swipe attack cooldown lengthened to 0.7s (up from 0.45s), and claw bleed duration shortened from 4s ➔ 3s.

🦈 3. Zombie Shark Balance Overhaul

• Abyssal Predator Tuning:
  • Health: Reduced from 200 HP ➔ 75 HP (Balanced for underwater combat mobility limitations).
  • Attack Damage: Reduced from 20.0 (10 full hearts - previously one-shot unarmored players) ➔ 11.0 (~5.5 hearts).
  • Swim Speed: Scaled down from 1.2D ➔ 1.1D.
  • Armor & Knockback Resistance: Reduced to 4.0 Armor and 50% Knockback Resistance.
  • Follow Range: Reduced from 48 blocks ➔ 32 blocks.
  • Attack Cooldown: Increased from 0.9s (18 ticks) ➔ 1.6s (32 ticks), preventing players from being endlessly stun-locked and chewed to death in deep water.
  • Bleeding Effect: Reduced from Bleeding II (5s) ➔ Bleeding I (3s).
