Multiplayer Area Protection, NPC Roles, and New Abilities

Protecting your items and builds from other players is an essential feature when hosting a public game server, and this update adds a feature to LandTraveller that does just that. If you rest in a bed in an area that hasn't been claimed yet and is far enough away from other players' areas, you can now claim it for yourself. Claiming an area prevents other players from building, destroying, or taking your items. They can still open and close doors and interact with some props. The area is 16x16 blocks in size (spanning up and down), but you can adjust this size for your server in the configuration file.

Story mode chapters will be added only when a complete draft is ready. In the meantime, I've added a new story quest to chapter 1 and gave NPCs roles in explore/multiplayer mode. Once you've advanced to the next era, some NPCs will even buy and sell things with you; that coin indicator at the bottom left of the menu wasn't just for show.

The enemies in chapter 2 can be tough on you, so I gave you eight new abilities to choose from. These are based on what you picked before for combat. You don't need to unlock the next era for them either, so they can help you out if you're having trouble with the first boss.

This game doesn't have complete darkness, but it might still be handy to have your own light source. This update includes a torch you equip in the top slot of your fashion items. It will emit a light in front of you when you have it on.

With a lot of the supporting props, items, abilities, enemies, etc. added, chapter 2 should be coming soon!
