• Predators ignore players that hold their food.
• Ducklings are now baby ducks; existing ducklings convert automatically.

• 🧪 Brewing: Snake Venom and Scorpion Stinger brew Poison, Shark Fin brews Water Breathing (also splash and lingering).
• 🍳 Duck Eggs can be cooked (furnace, smoker, campfire) and count as eggs for cake and pumpkin pie.

🏹 New Equipment

• 🦈 Shark Tooth Arrow: more damage, barely slows down under water.
• 🐍 Venom Arrow: poisons the target.
• 🦉 Owl Feather Arrow: flies silently and drops less.
• 🦆 Down-Padded Boots: Dolphin's Grace and faster movement in water.
