After "careful" consideration, 0.1.0-beta or above is put on hold/delayed and there will be no planned update schedule. Due to certain circumstances, I am sorry. I can't extend the idea furthermore or a will to continue. As this mod is used for me to learn Java, and as a beginner, it's hard to manage those spaghetti code and the increasing number of storage to my potato laptop. -28/6/2025
