Current Features

Dwarf NPCs

Voiced Dwarf NPCs with improved animations and combat behaviour
Pack Aggro: attacking one dwarf alerts nearby dwarves and the group retaliates together
Dwarves fight Zombies, Skeletons, and Spiders
- They do not target Creepers, Endermen, or Witches

Dwarf Miners

Dwarf Miners spawn naturally in caves below Y=50
Miners periodically mine nearby stone/ore blocks to make underground areas feel alive
Miners use pickaxes and include a mining animation

Trading & Progression

Added Dwarven Coin and Dwarven Steel Ingots
Dwarven Steel is dwarf-forged only: trade a Dwarven Coin to a dwarf to receive a Dwarven Steel Ingot
Added a full set of Dwarven Steel Tools
- 2500 durability due to the high crafting cost
- Sword and Axe are slightly stronger than Netherite (intended as late-game gear)

Exploration & Loot

Dwarven structures generate naturally with lootable containers (chests/barrels)
Dwarves can drop Iron Ingots and/or Gold Ingots when slain

Planned Features (Roadmap)

More dwarf variants
Many more dwarven structures
Expanded trading/economy
Dwarven Steel armor and weapons (future expansion)
Future content plans: Orcs, pirates, bandits, bandit strongholds, and more
