Character

Core features

- Trait selection GUI — scrollable positive/negative columns, live point counter, confirm / save / load / delete builds.

tank,runner); profiles persist through death and admin rebuilds. - Real gameplay effects — attributes, hunger, mining speed, fall damage, fear of mobs, night vision, and more.
- Death choice screen — on respawn after death:
- Keep my traits — keep your current build and keep playing.
- Resurrect — reopen the trait menu and rebuild ( 1 free respec per death for everyone).
- Renaissance trait — unlimited respawn respecs + +2 bonus points when you resurrect.
- Server-validated — trait picks are checked on the server; data syncs to the client.
