Server-Side Naming System

Settlement Names uses a lightweight server-side system that:

• Detects villages automatically.
• Generates names only once per settlement.
• Stores all settlement names permanently in the world save.
• Synchronizes names to players when entering or leaving villages.

Every village deserves its own identity. Explore the world, discover new settlements, and uncover the stories hidden behind their names.
