New

• Over 108 Mob Variants: Passive Allays, curious Bees, Frogs, Cats, Wolves, Pandas, and hostile mobs like Creepers, Endermen, and Ghasts with local offline assets.
• Native Hotbar Inventory: An authentic Minecraft hotbar at the bottom of the companion app that tracks and displays all widgets placed on your launcher.
• In-App Widget Editor: Tap any entity in the hotbar to open the live editor and reconfigure variants, background cutouts, and behaviors.
• Horizontal Mirroring (Facing Direction): Flip your entities horizontally (left/right) so they face the direction that fits your launcher setup best.
• Custom Tap Actions: Choose whether tapping your widget plays authentic mob sound effects (via low-latency SoundPool), triggers complete animation cycles, or applies a physics-based spring wobble.
• Custom Background Cutouts: Display entities as clean floating cutouts (None), or frame them with Square, Rounded, Circle, or Organic Blob shapes in customizable palette colors.
• Zero Battery Drain Architecture: Built on native Android RemoteViews and ViewFlipper. Widgets automatically pause when your screen locks or changes tabs—no background service or wake lock required.
• 100% Offline & Private: Zero internet permissions requested, zero network analytics, and zero runtime downloads.
