+`defineStore` and `defineWorld` now maps your `enums` to usable, strongly-typed enums on `enumValues`.
+
+```ts
+const config = defineStore({
+  enums: {
+    TerrainType: ["Water", "Grass", "Sand"],
+  },
+});
+
+config.enumValues.TerrainType.Water;
+//                              ^? (property) Water: 0
+
+config.enumValues.TerrainType.Grass;
+//                              ^? (property) Grass: 1
+```
+
+This allows for easier referencing of enum values (i.e. `uint8` equivalent) in contract calls.
+
+```ts
+writeContract({
+  // …
+  functionName: "setTerrainType",
+  args: [config.enumValues.TerrainType.Grass],
+});
+```
