- ⚡ Seamless Item Swapping: Equipping a new animal automatically returns your previously equipped animal power back to your inventory.
- 🌕 Blood Moon Event: Every ~83 minutes, a 10-minute Blood Moon event triggers server-wide—halving all ability cooldowns (from 60s down to 30s) and boosting passive power levels!
- 📖 In-Game GUI & Crafting: Use
/animalsto open an interactive GUI showcasing all animal recipes and passive/active details. - 💼 Power Withdrawal: Use
/animalwithdrawto safely remove your active effect and turn it back into an inventory item. - 🛡️ Safe Max HP Management: Powers that modify health (like Bear's extra hearts) safely reset back to 20 HP (10 hearts) when withdrawn or swapped.
