• Alex's Mobs and Caves Optimization: trims entity/network/AI overhead for smoother performance — batches network broadcasts, reduces AI goal scans and per-tick entity scans for specific mobs, optimizes the Luxtructosaurus roar scatter and reduces cockroach spawn density.
• Solix: a faster light engine for Forge 1.20.1 — multi-threaded light updates, queued light work ordered by player distance, brightest-first light spreading, skips re-sending unchanged light to players, a working opacity cache and backported Starlight fixes. Config options in config/solix.toml.
• GTBC's Cataclysmic Boss UI: pre-fight boss information — boss lore, rendered models, mechanics and tips in a clean UI overlay.
• GTBC's SpellLib/API: a library for Iron's Spellbooks addons — new attributes, particle managers and item customization options. Needed for the new T.O Magic 'n Extras - Iron's Spells Addon update.

📊 Impact Summary

🎯 Upgrade Notes

• ⚠️ Backup your world before updating – always recommended!
• 💰 Backup your economy file! Before every update, copy the *.json file from Age of Fate\kubejs\AOFEconomy (it contains your balance) — otherwise you'll start from zero coins.
• 🏅 Backup your reputation file! Before every update, copy the *.json file from Age of Fate\kubejs\AOFReputation (it contains your reputation) — otherwise you'll start from zero RP.
• ⚠️ CRITICAL: All updates require economy and reputation backups as described above — these files are not preserved across updates automatically!
• ⚙️ Forge: stays on 47.4.28 — no launcher change needed
• 💡 Solix: new light engine — the first load rebuilds lighting once, afterwards light updates are much faster. Tune config/solix.toml if needed
• 📖 T.O Magic addon: now requires GTBC's SpellLib/API — keep both installed together
• 🗑️ cataclysm magic compat removed — safe to delete from the mods folder
• ✅ Verify mod compatibility with existing scripts and custom configurations
