📜 FTB Quests & Boss Progression Fixes

• Dual-Task Boss Completion:
  • All 12 Armageddon Bosses now support dual completion (min_required_tasks: 1). The quest completes and unlocks the next boss either when the boss is killed OR when its reward treasure bag enters the player's inventory/backpack. No more progression locks.
• Restored Item & Quest Names:
  • Cleaned 1,696 corrupted mod title overrides across 65 quest chapter files. All quest items and titles now display their authentic, intended names and tooltips.
• Fixed FTB Quests Crash & Disappearing Tabs:
  • Removed hidden UTF-8 BOM formatting errors that previously caused FTB Library to crash and wipe quest tabs.

🖥️ New 2-Column MMORPG HUD Panel (Right Sidebar)

• Replaced the old scoreboard with a lightweight, zero-lag custom 2-column RPG panel:
  • Live Boss Tracker: Displays personal boss kill progress (Bosses: X/12) and the current target (Next: <Boss Name>).
  • Dynamic RPG Ranks: Automatic title progression based on monster kills and boss triumphs ([Novice], [Warrior], [Titan Slayer], [Godslayer]).
  • Dimension & Day Counter: Tracks current realm and in-game day (Dimension: Overworld (Day X)).
  • Economy & Quick Menus: Live coin balance, kill stats, and convenient shortcuts for /shop, /bounty, /menu, plus /hud to toggle panel visibility.
  • Expanded layout spacing to ensure no text overlap.

⚙️ Config & Technical Tweaks

• Corpse Mod Freeze Fix (corpse-server.toml):
  • Optimized corpse decay timer to prevent infinite render loops and freezing near airships and structures.
• ModernFix Optimization (modernfix-mixins.properties):
  • Adjusted mixin configurations to eliminate conflicts with custom scripts, reducing memory overhead and world load times.
• Shader & HUD Compatibility (embeddium-options.json / oculus.properties):
  • Ensured custom UI elements and in-game overlays render cleanly with active shaders.
• Multiplayer & Solo Progression Separation:
  • Player teams now independently track their quest progression. Newly joined players start fresh from Boss 1 without interfering with veteran players.
