Update 1.3.5 for NeoForge 1.21.1!

The In-Game Guide Update

• Patchouli Integration: Added a fully interactive, beautifully illustrated in-game Guide Book!
• Everything Explained: Contains full documentation on all Attributes, Catalysts, Mechanics, and Experimental features.
• Auto-Granted: The book is automatically given to players upon joining a world for the first time.
• Localization: Fully translated into English (en_us) and Russian (ru_ru).
• Note: Patchouli is now a mandatory dependency for the mod.

Experimental Hardcore Rebalance

• Added a massive new config-driven "Experimental" mode for hardcore players!
• Hard Caps: Strict maximum limits on stats to prevent game-breaking builds.
• Curse Redemption: Leveling a cursed item enough turns its penalty into a blessing!
• Cleansing Scar: Using an Iron Block to cleanse an item now permanently reduces its max attribute slots by 1.
• Weight of Potential: Items with more attribute slots now require more XP to level up.

Mechanics & Balance Overhaul

• Tier-based Attribute Slots: Completely overhauled how base attribute slots are assigned! Instead of a flat 3 slots for everything, items now scale based on their material tier (e.g., Wooden/Leather = 1, Iron/Diamond = 3, Netherite = 4).
• Dynamic Mod Compatibility: The new algorithm automatically calculates the strength of tools and armor from other mods, ensuring fair slot distribution even for endgame modded items.

Bug Fixes & Adjustments

• Prismarine Catalyst Rework: The Prismarine Shard now correctly rolls the aquatic attributes (Swim Speed and Oxygen Bonus).
• Echo Shard Logic Fix: Safely preserves your current stats and only fills empty (â—‡) slots.
• Leveling Reset Fix: Reforging an item (with standard catalysts) now correctly resets its Level and XP back to 0.
• Cleanup & Protection: Removed old debug commands and added robust protection against Minecraft 1.21.1 UI crashes.
