### [v2.1.0] - Major Co-Op & Atmosphere Update (Current Version)

#### 🚀 New Features & Added Mods
* **Multiplayer Support (Essential Mod):** Integrated the peer-to-peer co-op system, allowing you to play with your partner/friends directly via singleplayer world invites without renting a server.
* **Centralized Trading (Trading Post):** Added the Trading Post block to eliminate villager management hassle, grouping all active village trades into a single stylized UI (powered by `Puzzles Lib`).
* **Cinematic Startup (Mojang Logo Animation):** Replaced the static red Mojang screen with a fully animated, high-quality cinematic splash intro inspired by official Minecraft spin-offs.
* **Dimension Overhauls (Incendium & Nullscape):** Integrated `Incendium` for an optimized, epic Nether transformation and `Nullscape` for an endless dark void depth in the End dimension.

#### ⚙️ Technical Tweaks & Bug Fixes
* **Forge Core Upgrade:** Upgraded the modpack's Forge bootloader from version **47.3.0** to **47.4.0+** to satisfy core dependency requirements for `Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks`.
* **Critical Crash Fix (Kotlin Resolution):** Resolved the hard crash loop between `Essential Mod` and `KotlinForForge` via clean re-indexing and load-order optimization.

#### 🗑️ Removed & Optimized Mods
* **Better Combat (Removed):** Removed to preserve the classic vanilla combat mechanics and maintain the authentic Minecraft combat feel.
* **FTB Quests (Removed):** Discarded to maintain sandbox freedom, avoid tedious manual quest lines, and let players naturally explore the world at their own pace.
* **Easy Magic (Removed):** Discarded due to systems clashing with `Apotheosis`, which overrides high-tier custom enchanting mechanics.
* **FancyMenu (Removed):** Removed to keep the main menu lightweight and preserve the nostalgic loading transition into the custom panorama.
