🛠️ Compatibility

• Minecraft: 26.2
• Mod Loader: Fabric
• Java Edition: ✅
• Built and tested around the included mod versions

🔮 Future Plans

• BetterEnd and BetterNether are planned additions for future updates.
• At the moment, Survivalist Essentials has compatibility issues with these mods, which can cause problems when they are used together.
• Because of this, BetterEnd and BetterNether are not included in Beta 1.0.0 to help maintain stability and avoid potential crashes or world-generation issues.
• I hope this compatibility issue can be resolved in a future update so both mods can be added safely.
• More content, balancing, optimization, and compatibility improvements are planned.

📜 Credits
