Terraforming
- Using powerful devices acquired from the Ancient Vaults along with a new Essence currency, you can now transform regions or whole planets into entirely different biomes
- Terraformers can be used to expand a region across a planet’s surface, replacing natural blocks, objects and plant life, and eventually changing the type of the planet itself

- Player inventory can now be configured in player.config, allowing changes to:
- Number of bags
- Inventory size of each bag
- Number of action bars
- Action bar size
- NOTE: modifications to player inventory size need to be applied both server side and client side, and will invalidate existing characters

- Damage effects (sounds, particles) can be configured for each hit type (Hit, WeakHit, StrongHit, ShieldHit, Killed) in damage type configurations (.damage files).

Elemental types can be configured in /damage/elementaltypes.config and can be set for each damage type using the “elementalType” key, which defaults to the “default” elemental type.
