v0.1.0 — Initial Release

The first release of Cultivation! A full Xianxia realm-and-Qi progression system, built from the ground up.

Progression

• 7 realms — Body Refinement, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, and Void Refinement — each with 4 sub-stages (Early, Middle, Late, Peak).
• Both sub-stage advancements and realm breakthroughs are real, timed meditation rituals — meditate in a Spirit-Qi-rich chunk to complete one, and cancelling early costs you a stage. Realm breakthroughs are the bigger, higher-stakes ritual of the two.
• Meditate to pull ambient Qi from your chunk's Spirit Vein — a real per-chunk energy pool that depletes and regenerates over time. Rare "rich" veins hold far more Qi than average, giving you a reason to go looking for a good meditation spot.
• Hunt creatures for a chance at Spirit, Profound, or Divine Cores — absorb them instantly, or absorb one mid-meditation for a bonus. Consuming a core is automatically blocked (and never wastes the core) while you're mid-ritual.

Races & Life-Bound Treasures

• Choose a race — Human, Demon, or Deity — once you reach Golden Core Formation, each with its own server-tunable bonuses to health, damage, Qi gain, and breakthrough speed.
• Bind any weapon or armor piece into a Life-Bound Treasure that levels up from combat — its level shows right in the item's name, and its tooltip tells you exactly how much benefit it's granting.

Interface

• A full set of Xianxia-themed menus — Overview, Settings, Race, and (admin-only) Admin — all linked together with an in-menu navigation bar.
• Persistent, toggleable HUD showing your realm, stage, Qi, and ritual progress at a glance — pick which corner of the screen it sits in from the Settings menu.
• Live in-game admin config editor — retune the entire mod without ever opening a JSON file — plus admin commands to directly set or reset any player's realm, stage, race, or Life-Bound gear.
• Fully localized interface: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Ukrainian, and Simplified Chinese, with proper Xianxia terminology throughout — menus, HUD, and chat messages all translate with your client language.

Under the Hood

• Every number in the mod lives in a themed config file — nothing is hardcoded.
• Works in Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
• Collects anonymous, opt-out usage analytics (server count, player count) via HStats and Modifold to help guide future development — no personal data, and you can disable it at any time by editing the generated hstats-server-uuid.txt / modifold-analytics-server-uuid.txt files in your server folder.

This is an early release — progression numbers, race balance, and Life-Bound bonuses are still being tuned based on feedback. Found a bug or have a balance suggestion? Please report it so it can get fixed!
