⚙️ Design Philosophy

Arcane Expansion is designed to add depth to Minecraft without moving too far away from vanilla mechanics.

New content is integrated into the existing survival progression through:

• Exploration
• Advancements
• Crafting
• Mob encounters
• Resource gathering
• Equipment progression

The goal is to make the additional content feel like a natural part of Minecraft rather than a separate progression system.
