v1.0 Initial Release

This is the first official release of the Cookie Clicker Ultimate mod. This version establishes the core gameplay loop, prestige system, and technical foundation for the mod.

Core Features

• Dynamic Overlay Interface: A fully draggable and scalable UI that appears only when an inventory or container screen is open.
• Smart Minimization: The UI can be minimized into a small square. This square automatically snaps to the top left or top right of the screen based on the window's horizontal position.
• Persistent Global Saving: Progress is saved to a standalone JSON file located in your user config directory. This allows your cookies and upgrades to persist across different Minecraft instances and worlds.
• Audio and Visual Feedback: Features high quality pixel art, a smooth bounce animation for the cookie, floating gain indicators, and native Minecraft sound effects for clicks and purchases.

Progression and Economy

• Clicking Upgrades: A series of pickaxes ranging from Wooden to Netherite that multiply your cookies per click (CPC).
• Buildings: Iconic Minecraft structures such as Wheat Farms, Mineshafts, and Beacons that generate passive cookies per second (CPS).
• Research System: A dedicated tab for permanent technological advancements. Research allows you to discount building costs by up to 90% or multiply the production of specific buildings by up to 25x.
• Ascension and Prestige: Players who reach 1 billion cookies can Ascend. This resets current progress in exchange for Nether Stars. Each Nether Star grants a permanent 1% global multiplier to CPS.

Random Events

• Frenzy Mode: Random production spikes that occur periodically.
• Multipliers: Frenzies can provide 2x, 10x, 50x, or 100x production bonuses.
• Visual Effects: Active frenzies trigger a "Cookie Rain" effect across the UI. This has been optimized for high performance to ensure no impact on frame rates.

Technical Details

• Requirement: Built for the Fabric Mod Loader and requires Fabric API.
