Author's Note

Made this for myself really to play in my persistent SMP world with the boys. Thought other people would maybe enjoy it. Hope you like it :D Also, I made it on 1.21.11 mainly, I did test the 1.21.10/9, but not as thuroughly as I did for 1.21.11. If you find any game breaking bugs please submit them through github so I can fix, thanks!
