⚠️ Important Gameplay Notes

• 🎒 Most blocks and items do NOT spawn naturally in the world. They are currently only available in Creative mode through the Backrooms creative tab. Natural generation (in crates, drawers, world structures) will come in future releases.
• 🚫 The Backrooms dimension is a DEAD-END for resources. You cannot mine ores, find food sources, or gather natural resources inside the Backrooms. The only renewable thing is what you find in crates and drawers (when they spawn — currently rare).
• 🌐 You spawn directly in the Backrooms when creating a new world. Use /backrooms to teleport to the Overworld and back.
• 🎮 Play in Creative mode for the best experience during alpha — Survival is currently very harsh due to the resource limitations above.

🎨 Crafting Recipes

• 🔦 Flashlight = glowstone dust + stone button + battery + iron ingot
• 💚 Glowstick = glowstone dust + slime ball + stick (vertical, makes 2)
• 📱 Backrooms Phone = 7 iron ingots + redstone + battery
• ⚠️ Note: Crafting recipes exist but ingredients are hard to obtain inside the Backrooms (where you spawn). Use Creative mode or teleport to the Overworld with /backrooms to gather materials.

🐛 Known Issues

• 📼 VHS Tape content is currently a placeholder (test pattern only) — full content coming in next release
• 💻 The computer terminal hotbar shows only 9 inventory slots (top inventory rows hidden due to GUI size)
• 🗺️ Map exploration only works while holding the Backrooms Phone in inventory
• 🪑 DeskBlock is implemented but not yet registered (coming soon)
• 🎒 Most blocks and items are creative-only for now (no natural generation outside crates/drawers)
• 🚫 No survival progression yet — the Backrooms cannot sustain a player long-term without Overworld resources

---

🔜 Coming Next

• 📦 Natural loot generation — crates, drawers, and structures with random items
• 💧 Almond Water — drinkable hydration source for survival viability
• 📼 VHS Tape video playback (frame-by-frame animations)
• 👹 First hostile entity (Smiler)
