============================================
Draeda Server Update — 2026-06-18
A focused fix for glowing catseyes — the light-up highway markers. If you've had glowing catseye lines stay dark, refuse to chain, or lose their glow after being moved through a crate, this update sorts all of it.

🔧 Glowing Catseye — the glow + linking fix
Lines light up and link properly. Highways that stayed dark or showed the wrong link colour now route and colour correctly, same as a normal catseye line. Existing roads start working the moment the server's back up — no replanting.
They glow when planted, with no quality loss. Earlier versions could quietly drop a marker's quality and make some crates refuse to hold them. Glow is now applied cleanly on plant; your quality is untouched.
Crates keep them glowing. Storing one in a crate used to turn it back into a plain catseye. Now it goes in and comes out glowing every time.
Already-planted markers re-light on restart automatically.

Draeda Server Update — 2026-06-16
A small batch of mod updates and two new additions. Highways that light themselves, glow runes that finally glow, smarter bodyguards, and a fix for double-spawning event mobs.

✨ New: Glowing Catseye
A new highway marker. The glowing catseye works exactly like a normal catseye — routes, links, bends, and colours by link status (red/green/blue/white) — but it also gives off light like a high-quality lamp (no flame). String them along a highway and the road lights itself, no lamps needed.

Crafted the same way as a catseye (an eye + a blind catseye, while paving) — shows up as a second choice in the craft list.
New action — "Replace with glowing catseye": use one on an already-planted regular catseye to upgrade it in place, keeping all its highway links — no tearing up the road.
✨ New: RuneGlow — glow runes that actually shine
Vanilla glow runes barely work — the strongest is ~24QL-lamp dim, the middle tier dimmer than a candle, the weakest gives no light at all. RuneGlow fixes all of it: brighter reach per tier (strongest ≈80QL lamp), undyed items shine at proper lamp brightness, and dyed items emit their dye colour at full intensity — a kingdom-blue banner finally glows kingdom blue.

# Draeda Update — 2026-06-08

## 💎 Anniversary Event Fix
- **Gem bins show their proper model during event windows again.** During the seasonal event windows (Anniversary, Christmas, Easter, Halloween) the jewel bin was falling back to a plain pottery-jar look. It now keeps its real model right through the festivities — just in time for the Anniversary week.

## 🐎 Stables & Hitching
- **Unfinished hitching posts look right while you build them.** A hitching post under construction (built up from beams) was showing as a missing-model bag until completion. It now renders as a proper unfinished post the whole way through the build. Finished posts are unaffected.
