### ✨ Key Features

* **🎨 In-Game Pixel Art Studio:**  
  A sleek, responsive workshop GUI equipped with essential creator tools: **Pencil**, **Eraser**, **Color Picker (Eyedropper)**, and **Bucket Fill (Flood Fill)**. Includes 60-step Undo/Redo history, smooth pan & zoom, and a 20-color quick palette.

* **🤖 Built-in AI Texture Generator:**  
  Simply describe what you want (e.g., *”cyberpunk dragon emblem”*, *”golden celestial star”*, *”frost phoenix wings”*) and watch PixelForge craft your design directly into an in-game texture in seconds.

* **🔍 Real-Time 3D Isometric Preview:**  
  Inspect your creation on a rotatable 3D item model before applying it. See exactly how your artwork wraps around a curved shield, flows across elytra wings, or waves in the wind on a banner.

* **🛡️ Full Equipment Support:**
  * **Custom Shields:** Perfectly mapped 12:22 front heraldry with realistic wooden handles and rims.
  * **Custom Elytras:** Vibrant wing textures rendered seamlessly in first-person, third-person, and on player back models with no texture clipping.
  * **Custom Banners:** Full vanilla-standard banner integration! Place them on floors (16-angle rotation) or hang them on walls with natural wind-sway physics.
  * **Custom Paintings:** Choose from 9 authentic frame sizes (from `1×1` up to `4×4`) with custom wooden backboard framing and zero Z-fighting/flicker.

* **✨ Dual Resolution Engine:**  
  Toggle effortlessly between **Authentic Retro Pixel Art** (crisp 16x Minecraft aesthetic) and **Crystal-Clear HD** mode (high-definition detail) with a single click.

* **💾 Built-in Design Library & Survival Integration:**  
  Save your favorite artworks to your local library, search them in the Creative tab by prompt name, or craft them in Survival using the **Design Scroll** recipe!
