What's Changed in v2.0.0

⚡ Speed Roads & Self-Mapping

• Speed-Only Road Blocks: You can now map any block to itself (e.g. stone_bricks -> stone_bricks or gravel -> gravel) in the config or GUI! Walking over these blocks grants the full movement speed bonus without trampling, replacing, or tracking decay on the block.
• Gravel Road Preservation: By popular demand, gravel roads in the default config are now self-mapped (minecraft:gravel -> minecraft:gravel). Your carefully placed gravel roads will grant speed boosts and will no longer be turned into dirt paths.
• Conflict & Duplicate Resolution: Added deterministic conflict resolution (putIfAbsent). If duplicate or conflicting rules are declared, the first rule takes priority cleanly without toggling or breaking in-game.

🎨 In-Game Visual Editor & GUI

• Visual Conversions Screen: Configure your path conversions directly in-game! Includes an interactive block palette, real-time search filter, item icons, and animated selection borders.
• Master Speed Controls: Easily toggle the speed boost ON/OFF and adjust the global speed multiplier directly inside the conversion screen.
• Config Screen Stability: Added null-safe tooltip checks to the NeoForge mod configuration menu (IConfigScreenFactory), ensuring crash-free access from the in-game Mods menu.

⏳ Authentic Decay & Memory Persistence

• Smart Decay Restoration: Paths that decay now revert to their authentic original ground block (e.g. sand paths revert to sand, peat paths to peat) rather than always turning into plain dirt.
• Dimension SavedData Persistence: Trample progress and decay timers are now cleanly saved in dimension NBT data, persisting across server reboots and dimension transitions without memory leaks.
• Unloaded Chunk Pruning: Distant and unloaded path tracking entries are automatically pruned after a multi-day grace period, ensuring zero chunk-loading lag.

🌐 Biome Mod Compatibility

• Vanilla-Block Worldgen Overhauls: Verified 100% out-of-the-box compatibility with Terralith and Geophilic without requiring any extra setup.
• Modded Surface Soil Defaults: Pre-configured out-of-the-box conversions for popular biome mods:
  • Oh The Biomes We've Gone (BWG)
  • Biomes O' Plenty (BOP)
  • Regions Unexplored

🧪 Automated Testing & Code Quality

• Automated GameTest Suite: Verified with 7 passing in-engine GameTests covering pathing heuristics, farmland immunity, and persistent memory.
• Refined Architecture: Cleaned up code structure, eliminated redundant suppression warnings, and streamlined event execution.
