No custom Photon source changes or unresolved adapted third-party textures

The original shader archive and its license are supplied by the official author.

C418 selections reference Minecraft assets; no C418 audio files are bundled.
Six cave recordings are CC0; credits are inside Gears-Cave-Atmosphere.zip.
Known upstream issue: Dungeon Now Loading 2.2 has an unreadable garhold_cage
template. Full gameplay and graphics validation remain ongoing.
This update was checked for package integrity and default selections; those
checks do not constitute a new full client/shader rendering test.
Not an official Minecraft product. Not associated with Mojang or Microsoft.

Official Kartixx Alpha Sound Pack 1.20.1-1.14 is fetched via CurseForge (897427/4682946) and enabled by default. Credits: Kartixx / MIllyMunky and original sound creators. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/alpha-sound-pack
A small original audio-free configuration pack preserves audible minecarts and makes the classic player hurt replacement explicit. Other Alpha Sound Pack sound changes remain enabled.

Beta 6: Adds the bilingual Explorer's Handbook with a first-login copy and a book + compass crafting recipe. Main-menu changelogs have dates, hide/show controls and a feedback footer. Official Photon is enabled with the agreed settings-only cave-lighting preset. Existing gameplay components and world identifiers are preserved.

Beta 7 patch: Expanded Cave Sounds null-sound crash fixed; Rotten Stink disabled; cave extra spawn depth bonuses corrected to 4/8/12/16/20 percent, cave-extra monster threshold 100; quiet milk-bucket and anvil item selection. Existing worlds and all previous gameplay components retained. Manual CurseForge updating.
