Rota Arcana - Full Update (2.0.0)

WARNING: MASSIVE RESTRUCTURE! READ BEFORE PLAYING!

This update brings deep structural changes to the modpack. Several core mods were altered, added, and removed, considerably impacting world generation, available items, and overall balancing.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO CREATE A NEW WORLD (WIPE). Attempting to load a world from a previous version will cause save corruption, severe item loss, invisible blocks, and major performance issues. If you try to keep your map, make a backup first, but do so at your own risk!

Update Summary

In this major update, we focused on a technical and combat overhaul.
