### DisableBreathEffect

Removes the annoying 2D breath cloud that appears every few seconds when it's cold.

### RememberBreakDownItem

This mod remembers the tool you last used to break down furniture. That way, you no longer need to constantly switch from "using a knife" to "no tool" when breaking down branches or curtains.

### AddModdedToVersionString

This mod has now been integrated into the mod loader itself and is thus obsolete.
