✅ Version 1.1.6+mc1.21.8 — Changelog

This update was made after many requests about skill trees, XP gains, total level caps, and XP-per-action limits.
The goal is simple: make early-game leveling feel less painfully slow, while keeping the progression challenging and consistent.

Huge thank you for all your messages, downloads, suggestions, and support — it genuinely helps a lot and motivates me to keep pushing the project forward with you. ❤️
Let’s keep building our adventures together. Peace ✌️
