## New Features **Inventory Inspection & 1-Click Restore:** Added a dedicated interface to inspect lost inventories (items, armor, and off-hand) with a direct restore button for the player, protected by a 5-second anti-missclick confirmation. **Right-Click GUI Teleport:** Administrators can now right-click any head in the logs menu to instantly teleport to the exact coordinates of the death. **Kill Assist System:** Leverages damage tracker history to automatically identify and announce players who dealt significant damage (>20%, customizable in config) using the `{assister}`, `{assist_percent}`, and `{assist_suffix}` variables. **Combat Damage Recap:** Sends a private post-death breakdown to the victim detailing all recent sources of incoming damage, values in HP, and percentage contributions over a configurable tracking window. **Killstreak & Shutdown System:** Implemented a streak tracking system that broadcasts global chat announcements at configured milestones (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 50 kills) along with high-streak shutdown alerts. **Totem Pops Counter:** Tracks in real time how many totems the victim popped in combat, displaying the values via `{totems}` and a configurable `{totem_suffix}` (supporting singular and plural). **Sniper Shot Detection (Projectile Distance):** Measures the exact 3D distance of the projectile between launch and impact (bows, crossbows, and tridents), highlighting long-range kills with `{distance}` and automatic distance tagging. **1.21+ Mace Smash Support:** Captures the attacker's fall height during the fatal strike before Minecraft resets it, providing configurable `{mace_height}` and `{mace_suffix}` variables. **Conditional Messages Engine:** Implemented an advanced condition system via PlaceholderAPI (e.g., `%auraskills_power% >= 100`) with target selection (`VICTIM`, `KILLER`, `BOTH`, `ANY`) and native support for `%killer_<placeholder>%` for clan and guild wars. * **Complete PlaceholderAPI Expansion:** Added comprehensive last-death placeholders (`%deathannouncer_last_killer%`, `_last_cause%`, `_last_weapon%`, `_last_coords%`, `_last_date%`, `_last_distance%`), alongside active totem pops, current streak, and highest killstreak. **Discord Cause and Conditional Filters:** Added dedicated cause filtering (`filter-causes`) and condition checking (`conditional-filter`) to prevent Discord spam, supporting global causes (`ALL` or `*`). ## Updates **Log Storage Optimization (Anti-Lag):** Implemented GZIP Base64 compression on inventory snapshots and automated 7-day retention cleanup (max 500 records) in YAML and MongoDB, eliminating massive 13,000+ line files and disk lag. ## Fixes **Hexadecimal Colors in GUI Lore:** Fixed an issue where RGB/Hex color codes (`&x&r&r&g&g&b&b` and `&#rrggbb`) appeared as raw text in weapon descriptions inside log lores. ## API **New API Version Release:** Released a new version of `DeathAnnouncer-API` (now aligned with v1.6.0-RELEASE) featuring expanded data models (`DeathLogEntry`) with full support for coordinates, inventory snapshots, projectile distance, and combat metadata. ---
