[1.0.0] - 2026-07-13

Initial release of Fimbulwinter Lite -- a complete Vanilla+ refactor of the original Fimbulwinter modpack (ibfleming/Fimbulwinter, retired at v1.6.1). The pack was rebuilt from 111 mods down to 43, removing all content overhauls (creatures, weapons, magic, loot systems, difficulty scaling) in favor of a lightweight, maintainable QoL layer that preserves vanilla progression and balance.
