✨ Overview

The Halloween Town Update marks a major milestone for BCA — introducing the first biome-specific town variation and the foundation for future biome-based expansions.

🏘️ New Additions

🎃 Biome-Specific Towns

• Enables future updates like Plains, Tundra, and Forest themes with unique designs, NPCs, and loot.
