Improvements
- Added mob overlay – hostile, neutral, tamed, and player dots now appear on the minimap (enable
showMobOverlayin config; restart required) - Fixed circular minimap clipping on Nvidia GPUs
- Fixed waypoint and death marker persistence across dimensions
- Fixed Replay Mod and OptiFine compatibility
- Performance optimisations and cleaner configuration
- Improved language files
- Modernised build system
