Merchant Core

[1.0.0] - The Balance & Polish Update ⚖️

This update focuses on game balance, fixing the trading economy, and improving survival progression.

✨ Added

• Master Level Requirement: The Merchant Core now only operates with Master-level Villagers (Level 5). Players must now trade manually to level up their Villagers before automation can begin.
• Visual Feedback: Added particle effects (Smoke/Happy Villager) to indicate the machine's status and leveling requirements.

🔧 Changed & Balanced

• Vanilla Cooldown Respect: Removed forced restocking logic. The Merchant Core now follows standard Minecraft trading rules.
• Natural Restocking: Villagers must now visit their own Job Site (Workstation) to refresh their trades, preventing infinite trade exploits.
• Improved Tick Logic: Optimized backend performance for checking nearby Villagers and trade indices.

🐛 Fixed

• Infinite Trade Bug: Fixed an issue where Villagers would refresh trades instantly, bypassing the intended daily limits.
• Trade Lockout: Improved the interaction between the machine and the Villager's internal AI to ensure trades refresh correctly during work hours.
