_{Badges are written by CI on every push to main/26.2/26.1 (scripts/publish_badges.py, kept on the badges branch). fabric-api and flan are the versions the real-server CI test booted with. "gmc101 → 26.3" counts third-party mods with no 26.3 build yet (weekly, scripts/check_modpack.py).}

Your XP is your life force. Distance is danger. A server-side Fabric mod — vanilla clients connect with no mods; everything renders through vanilla attributes, effects, and display entities.

Your levels heal you, armor you, and buy back your life. The world scales the other way: the farther from a sanctuary anchor, the deadlier everything gets. Civilization is something you carve out of the wilds — and defend, fuel, and one day get buried in.

Features

• Vitality — XP-funded healing, armor, hearts, shields, lethal saves, and soul retention on death.
• The Wilds — distance-scaled mobs (Feral → Savage → Ferocious → Nightmare), hunters, door-breakers, rabid wildlife, and the Restless that stalk sleepless miners.
• Sanctuary Anchors — raise safe zones from rare crystals, fuel them with emeralds, expand your cap with Warden kills. Flan + LuckPerms integration.
• Feral Eggs — breed bloodline hostile poultry; star-graded eggs, frontier ranching, a market with luck and patience at its heart.
• Death, Respawn & Graves — free sanctuary respawn or paid bed/resurrect with an escalating death toll; headstones that drift to consecrated graveyards tended by the Gravekeeper and his allay couriers.
• Server Guide — live config commands, 59 opt-in bundled Vanilla Tweaks packs, wall-mounted stat leaderboards, AFK tags, siege-aware anti-grief.
