Expert Mode Core

The heart of the datapack, it's responsible for running the internal clock of every module, correcting recipe changes, and modifying the world to run the difficulty correctly. On top of this, Expert Mode Core adds several small features to the base game that supplement the datapack.

New Mechanics

 * Item Frames are transparent when placed, which makes displays feels more organic. This leads to more creative building opportunities as well!
 * Chickens drop feathers passively. No longer do you need to kill chickens to collect a few feathers from them.
 * Knowledge Books and Experience Bottles are now craftable and usable. Knowledge Books store experience for later use. Can be crafted in stacks. (opposed to the crafting limitation in the Thirst System).
