KimetsuCraft - KC

### Highlights - Fixed several dedicated server crashes. - Water, Flame and Demon techniques now have dedicated sound effects, with cues that follow the caster and line up better with each technique. - First-person technique animations now work when Player Animator is installed, with client options for arm visibility. - Combat Settings now brings skill slots, HUD mode, mouse wheel lock, and first-person animation options into one screen. - The official wiki is now live at [kimetsucraft.pages.dev](https://kimetsucraft.pages.dev/). ### Gameplay - Stat progression is now smoother and more configurable. Server owners can tune each stat curve, and changes apply immediately to players and loaded NPCs. - Demons have lower health, damage, and regeneration overall. - Rengoku and Giyu were rebalanced to better fit the current progression. - Flame Breathing received small damage increases on non-Rengoku techniques. - Concentration now gives stronger stamina gains early and tapers near the stat cap. - Water Wheel is more reliable, with one extra hit, a slightly later first hit, and improved movement/fall handling during startup. - Slayer NPCs no longer damage Slayer players by default. Player-versus-player damage is unchanged. ### Audio and VFX - Added dedicated Water Breathing sounds for Water Surface Slash, Surging Current, Flowing Dance, Water Wheel, Drop Ripple Thrust, Whirlpool, Constant Flux, and Dead Calm. - Added dedicated Flame Breathing sounds for Blazing Chain, Unknowing Fire, Ember Guard, Rising Scorching Sun, Blazing Universe, Blooming Undulation, Flame Tiger, and Rengoku. - Rengoku now has charge, dragon spawn, rush, bite, and explosion audio cues for both players and NPCs. - Added dedicated Demon technique sounds for Predator Leap, Frenzied Claws, Blood Area, and Blood Slash, with pitch that varies by demon variant. - Removed placeholder sounds from Water and Flame techniques, including Ember Guard. - Polished several Flame, Water, and Demon visual effects, including Water Wheel, Dead Calm, Flowing Dance, Surging Current, Flame Tiger, Rengoku, and Demon Bite. - Fixed some visual effects that could fail to render in release builds. ### Controls and UI - Skill slots 1-8 are now configurable KimetsuCraft keybinds in Minecraft's Controls menu. - Added Classic and Integrated combat HUD modes. Integrated mode can replace the vanilla hotbar while combat mode is active. - Added an optional mouse wheel lock while combat mode is active. - Added first-person animation preferences: enabled/disabled, right arm only, or both arms. - Added a Wiki button to the Breath Overview screen, an unbound Open Wiki keybind, and a one-time welcome message with a wiki link. - Improved GUI scaling across mod screens. - Level-up notifications now use the action bar, and rank-up toasts now match the player's current breathing style. ### World and Crafting - Wisteria trees now use hand-authored structures instead of procedural generation, giving them more consistent shapes and reducing world generation cost. - The Nichirin Forge recipe now uses `minecraft:gold_ingot` as the center ingredient. ### Fixes - Fixed a startup crash when Player Animator is not installed. - Fixed several dedicated server crashes. - Fixed technique animations persisting after respawn. - Fixed skill-slot key presses made outside combat mode triggering later when combat mode is enabled. - Fixed Flame passive aura particles spawning twice in some cases. - Fixed Drop Ripple Thrust sound and VFX naming issues. - Disabled NPC attack debug announcements by default. ### Dependencies - Updated Forge to `47.4.10`. - Updated GeckoLib to `4.8.3`. - Updated AAA Particles to `1.20.1-1.4.15`.
