Developer Note

This mod was inspired by older Pack-a-Punched mods and rebuilt specifically for NeoForge 1.21.1 to support newer TaCZ systems and improve late-game balance in survival-focused modpacks. A Forge 1.20.1 port is also available for players on older modpack setups.

Huge respect and credits to the original creator(s) of the earlier Pack-a-Punched mods for the original idea and inspiration that helped shape this project.

This is not intended to replace or disrespect the original mod in any way - it is a modern reimagining focused on compatibility, stability, and support for newer gameplay systems.

Feedback & Balance

This mod is still actively being balanced and improved. If you encounter any of the following, please report them:

- Bugs or crashes - Compatibility issues - Damage calculation problems - Upgrade exploits - Multiplayer desyncs - Balance or progression issues

Upgrade costs may still change in future updates based on player feedback, as late-game costs are still being tested for Hardcore and Zombie Apocalypse modpacks. All feedback is appreciated and helps make the mod better.
