0.7.1

Cultivation v0.7.1 - The Body Endures

A second ladder, and it is not climbed by gathering Qi. It is climbed by taking the hit.

Beta: Worlds, progress, sects, abodes and beasts carry over, configs untouched.

A new track running alongside the realms. XP comes from damage that actually reached you -- so armor does not just stop the blow, it stops the lesson.
Bare-skinned tempers fastest. In the heaviest set on the server you earn a tenth as much.
Pays back as damage reduction: up to 40% with nothing on at max level, 15% in full armor.
Level 100 is a long campaign -- on the order of 1.5 million damage taken. Not a weekend's work.
Your Overview page shows the trade: your level, how armored you are, and what you turn aside.

A new last tab listing every mod in the family -- installed or not, its version, and whether its build checked out.
Admins are told once on join when something is out of date, with a link they can click.

Body Tempering's protection is handed to EL's Defense instead of stacking -- one calculation, not two.

New UpdateConfig.json and Cultivation/BodyTemperingConfig.json -- the curve, the armor scale and the network switch are yours.
API: BodyTemperingEvents (the XP amount is editable, not just refusable), update/build registries, adminPageOnly().

Five hand-made palettes recoloring every menu, the HUD, the skill tree -- and your aura. Plus banners, titles and lore.
Purely cosmetic: no stats, no power, no advantage. Cultivation stays free; this is what supporting it buys.
