## Developer Note
\nThis 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
## Feedback & Balance
\nThis mod is still actively being balanced and improved. If you encounter any of the following, please report them:<\/p>\n
– Bugs or crashes
\n– Compatibility issues
\n– Damage calculation problems
\n– Upgrade exploits
\n– Multiplayer desyncs
\n– Balance or progression issues<\/p>\n
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.
