  • Improved Hitbox โ€“ Collision shape now perfectly matches the visual model.
  • Tooltip system โ€“ Hover over the item for helpful information (hold Shift for details).
  • Arabic translation โ€“ Full Arabic language support (ar_sa).
  • Proper tool system โ€“ Requires at least a stone pickaxe to break and drop the drill.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Technical Improvements
