v1.1.0 - Difficulty Selection

Added

• Difficulty selection screen when you first join a world
  • Normal mode: toned down so you can actually win
  • Extreme mode: how the mod played before, nothing changed
  • Locked in per world, can't switch after
  • On servers, whoever joins first picks for everyone
• Normal mode changes 30+ things across the board:
  • Corruption spreads at half speed
  • Max 20 parasites per player (vs 30 on Extreme)
  • Adaptive AI turned off completely
  • Enemies can't break through blocks
  • No extra spawns on parasite death
  • Iron Golems can't be infected
  • Parasites have 70% HP and 75% damage
  • Infection recovery 3x faster
  • Smaller outbreak waves (3-5 vs 5-10)
  • Meteors arrive later and less often
  • Bosses rarer, longer respawn cooldowns
  • Blood moon not as intense
  • Broodmothers spawn fewer children, less often
  • Environmental air damage halved

Changed

• Tons of hardcoded values moved to the config system so they can be tuned per difficulty
• Meteor timing, outbreak sizes, boss spawn rates, blood moon multipliers, env damage, entity stats all configurable now
• 25+ new fields in ParasitesConfig
• Difficulty saved per world, persists across restarts
