Newer Java versions are stricter with regards to access restrictions when using reflection.
This affects in particular the serialization of non-public fields in our component classes.
For this reason, we decided to exclude non-public component fields from serialization and refactor all non-public component fields to be public instead to ensure not breaking any game and especially saving/loading behavior.
A future module overhaul may have a more detailed look into the components and make considerate decisions to use non-public fields.
