🏗️ Update V4.0: Economic Reform & Cultural Expansion

Governor's Report: The Colony of Aethel is entering a Golden Age. We are shifting focus from raw survival to sophisticated civilization building. To support this era of prosperity, we have completely reformed the monetary system, optimized our industrial logistics, and imported architectural blueprints from across the globe. Standardize the currency. Build for eternity.

💰 THE ECONOMIC SCHISM (Major Change)

We have restructured the financial flow of the server to separate "Common Trade" from "State Commerce".

• Cobblemon Villager Overhaul:
  • The Change: Villagers no longer accept Emeralds. They now trade exclusively in Cobbledollars.
  • The Logic: This standardizes interaction with the native population and integrates them into the Cobblemon economy.
• Numismatics (Coins):
  • New Status: Coins are now the Elite Currency. They are reserved for:
    • Admin Shops: Buying rare resources from the State.
    • Player Shops: High-value trading between Pioneers.
    • Spawn NPCs: Official government contracts.

🏛️ ARCHITECTURE & LIFESTYLE (New Content)

• Dawn Of Time: A massive collection (+350 blocks) of cultural furniture and materials (Japanese, French, Mayan, etc.). Perfect for theming your towns.
• ChoiceTheorem's Overhauled Village: Villages and Outposts are now structurally complex, beautiful, and immersive.
• Butchery & Animal Barn: Expand your agricultural sector with new livestock buildings and realistic butchery mechanics.
• Bakeries: The art of baking comes to Aethel. Bread, pastries, and glazed ovens.
• Reconnectible Chains: Allows logical connections between chains and fences.

⚙️ ADVANCED LOGISTICS & ENGINEERING

• Create: Photomovement: Solar engineering. New light-sensitive components for your logic systems.
• Create: Vertical Belts & Parallel Pipes: Logistic optimization. Transport items vertically without clutter and densify your fluid networks.
• Create: Bit's n Bobs: Various mechanical additions and decorations to refine your assembly lines.
• Create: Mobile Packages: Pack your contraptions into crates for easy transport.
• Industrial Platform: Space management. Added industrial platforms that align perfectly with Chunks (1x1 and 3x3 Chunk sizes, available in 2 colors).

🧬 COBBLEMON & KNOWLEDGE

• Just Enough Cobblemon (JEC): The researcher's essential tool.
  • JEI/EMI Integration: View Pokémon Drops directly in the recipe list.
  • Spawn Tracker: Added a "Spawn" tab in the Pokédex to locate the biome habitat of every species.
• Tyz's Skills: Added a skill and progression system to specialize your character.

🛠️ SYSTEM & FIXES

• Structure Overlap Less: Critical Fix. Prevents generated structures from crashing into each other, ensuring a cleaner landscape.
• AttributeFix: Removes arbitrary vanilla limits on damage or health.
• GriefLogger: Administrative security tool to monitor block/container interactions.
• Updated all existing mods to their latest stable versions.

⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Backup Recommended: Due to changes in world generation (Villages, Structures) and the removal of certain previous configs, please backup your world before updating. Economy Note: If you had existing emerald trades setup, they will need to be re-evaluated under the new Cobbledollar standard.
