Changelog

The biggest update so far. Both dimensions, both bosses, the portal rites and the heart rites were rebuilt from the ground up. It is not 100% finished yet - some textures are still placeholders and more polish is on the way. Bugs and feedback are very welcome!

Important: delete config/blood_arsenal_reawakened-common.toml after updating (on servers too). Otherwise the armor keeps its old values (Resistance III, Regeneration III, Strength II) and the new glass-cannon balance does not apply.

Important: both dimensions were rebuilt from scratch. Delete world/dimensions/blood_arsenal_reawakened/black_void and world/dimensions/blood_arsenal_reawakened/white_day before playing, or old and new terrain will meet at hard seams.
