Twenty-five modules
Backpack, smelter, work stations, magnet, auto-sell, XP bank, miner, farmer, fisher, guard, aura, mount, courier, radar and the rest.
Levels and rarities
Six rarities, levels by formula or table, bonuses with caps and PvP scaling, abilities, skins, evolutions and a collection score.
Anti-dupe by design
Versioned rows written by one thread, a per-player lease across the network, single-use cages and eggs, a lost-and-found that never deletes.
An appearance chain
3D model, ShadowCustomizer mob, vanilla mob, item, block, head, text: the first one the server can show wins. It works with no resource pack.
Eggs, shop, capture
Shop, single-use eggs with incubation and recipes, capture with a lasso, trading and cages, and a Studio with an in-game editor for admins.
