- 7 Stats: Max Health, Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Movement Speed, Armor, Armor Toughness, Knockback Resistance.
- Each stat has its own configurable
max_level, per‑level growth value and hard‑limitcap_value. All settings can be edited in the config file.
- Each stat has its own configurable
GUI Growth Panel
