So, you’ve spend hours taming the perfect Lavender variant, only for it to bravely dive headfirst into a lava pool or lose a fistfight with a zombie. Tragic. Typical hamster behavior, but tragic.

That's why I spent the last two months coding a complex Tree Heist algorithm and smithing-table progression system just so you can strap nuts to your rodent.

Update Highlights

• Hamster Armor – Start with Acorn Armor (crafted from Acorn Shards). It works like Wolf Armor, completely negating damage until it breaks. It is biodegradable protection at its finest.
• Tiered Upgrades – Find Hamster Smithing Templates in loot chests to plate your acorn armor with Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Netherite.
  • Iron: Aerodynamic (throws further).
  • Gold: Lightweight (moves faster).
  • Netherite: Dense (high knockback resistance + impact damage).
  • Diamond: The Expensive Therapy Upgrade. It cures their kleptomania. They will fetch items instead of stealing them.
• The Tree Heist Mechanic – How do you get Acorns? You yeet your hamster at an Oak Tree. I wrote a Gradient Descent Scan algorithm that maps the tree's canopy so your hamster can physically rummage through the leaves of a single tree, even if its leaves are touching other trees. Trees have a limited acorn economy that resets every day.
• Bed Respawning – Tired of permadeath? You can now toggle a config to allow hamsters to respawn at their linked Hamster Bed when they die. Immortality is now a feature.
• Global Loot Injection – You can now find hamster gear, seeds, and templates injected into vanilla loot chests (Ancient Cities, Dungeons, Villages, etc.).

How to Become a Rodent Warlord (TL;DR)

1. Find an Oak Tree.
2. Yeet your hamster at the leaves. Watch them disappear into the canopy.
3. Collect the Acorns they drop.
4. Process them in a Stonecutter to get shards and craft the armor.
5. Enchant it with Fire Protection so they don't burn to death. Profit.
6. Optionally, enchant it with Frost Walker so your hamsters can walk on ice.

Why You Should Update

• Your hamsters will stop dying (probably).
• You can finally utilize the Smithing Table for something cute.
• I spent way too long making the leaves jiggle realistically when the hamster is inside the tree.
• Fully compatible with Fabric Forge, and NeoForge. (1.21.1 and 1.20.1)
