• Added clearer text and tooltip information for the new setting.
• Added internal configuration versioning to make future config migrations safer.
• Removed an old migration rule that could potentially overwrite a user's deliberately chosen block-limit settings.

• Cloth Config is now fully optional.
• ExcaMate can run on dedicated servers without either Mod Menu or Cloth Config installed.
