🧠 Talent Expansion – Master Combat, Defense, and Survival with Unique Talents!
Talent Expansion adds a customizable talent tree system to Minecraft, giving players the power to unlock and level up abilities using Talent Crystals — special items crafted by surrounding a Nether Star with Emeralds.
🔹 How It Works:
Unlock talents by spending Talent Crystals, which can be crafted using 8 Emeralds surrounding 1 Nether Star
Open the Talent GUI with the V key (customizable in Controls → Key Binds) to view and manage your talent tree.

Talents can be leveled up to increase their effectiveness, with some requiring one prerequisite talent.
Hover over each talent to display its name & when clicked makes the Unlock Talent Button visible which is used to unlock the selected talent.
