[Plugin] Battle Speed Control - Fast, Faster, Instant
Battle Speed Control allows players to speed up battles without affecting the rest of the game speed (music, overworld movement, etc.). It's the perfect quality-of-life feature for players who want to grind faster or breeze through easy battles.
This plugin safely overrides the internal timer only during battles, ensuring a smooth experience without glitches.
