XP & Level System

Grief Protection

Persistence & Safety

- Town data saved in towns.yml. - Player data and XP saved reliably on quit. - All operations synced between memory and file.

UX & Feedback

- XP gain messages appear on the action bar. - Level-up messages are shown only to the leveling player. - Town commands provide clear success/failure feedback. - Borders use Glowstone (corner) and Gold Blocks (marking between corners) for visual feedback.
