Update 1.9.2: Localization and new interactive form color menu update
New visual and interactive form color menu

Mod now includes a brand-new interactive color menu. You can precisely adjust form colors through RGB sliders and other controls while previewing the result in real time, so you no longer need to test Hex colors one by one.
You can open the color menu from the new button added to the Book of Shape Shifter, or from the mod configuration menu (requires Mod Menu).
Ru localization
Merged the latest Russian localization made by MaxMobile-ru. Many thanks!
__Also updated the mod's wiki pages. Sry I've been too busy lately!__
Update 1.9.0 - 1.9.1: New spider forms have been released!
New Form
Spider forms introduce a new silk-based ability system, allowing players to shoot web projectiles, create climbable web structures, hinder enemies, and gain stronger mobility options in later stages. Added Spider-exclusive trinkets/tools gameplay through extra hand slots with different special effects.
__Hint: Searching for cursed spiders in abandoned mineshafts.__
_(Yes, I know spiders in real life don't go through metamorphosis development… This is for gameplay reasons! )_
Improvements
For the Sinytra Connector version, the form-specific Trinkets are now compatible with Curios and can be placed directly in the Curios slot. Improved codex readability with support for longer scrollable text. Added more advancement guidance for discovering and collecting forms. Added vanilla recipe unlocks for several vanilla-form accessories and tools. Improved permanent spider form and feral forms' footstep behavior to better match the form’s movement style.
Bug Fixes
Fixed missing Spider form abilities, including missing sounds/night vision behavior. Fixed spiders incorrectly attacking during the daytime. Fixed several Spider-related item, slot, rendering, and compatibility issues. Fixed a few crash issues that could occur in specific situations. Fixed missing form text, ability entries, and localization keys.
