Important upgrade notes

Create a fresh 2.2.5 CurseForge profile instead of installing this release over an older pack version.

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.248
• Java 21 or newer required
• 12 GB RAM recommended
• Clients and the official server must use matching loader and shared mod versions

Back up any existing world before upgrading. The client pack has passed a complete launch and join test, while the updated production server has intentionally not yet been started for live runtime validation.
