# Kenny 8.0.0 Kenny 8.0.0 rebuilds the horror campaign from Day 1 to the final battle in The End. Stalking, supplies, anomalies, combat, multiplayer, and dimension travel now form one continuous experience that remains consistent through deaths, reconnects, and server restarts. ## Added - Added a complete campaign from the first Day 1 warning through WATCH, HUNT, The End, and permanent victory. - Added an 11-second opening delay after the first player joins before the Day 1 introduction begins. - Added personal supply deliveries for every player, followed by a 25-second calm period before danger resumes. - Added sleep encounters, wake-up traps, environmental anomalies, ambient scares, and randomized hunt warnings. - Added a rare diagonal sky throw that can launch a player approximately 200 blocks upward. - Added a vertical breach attack when Kenny detects his target directly below him. Kenny breaks a 4-block-wide path up to 3 blocks deep and stops as soon as the target is no longer underneath. - Added a 4x4 tower-jump landing smash followed by fireball and TNT pressure. - Added stronger obstacle clearing to help Kenny escape walls and cramped structures without destroying the floor beneath him. - Added a dedicated End encounter, Ender Dragon battle behavior, victory sequence, and campaign rewards. - Added English and Indonesian messages. - Added a categorized configuration screen and the `/kenny reset` command. ## Changed - Only one Kenny can be active across the server at a time. - Multiplayer targeting is fairer and follows Kenny's current valid target. - Every multiplayer player receives their own supply; a late join no longer interrupts an encounter already in progress. - Creative players can experience the story, WATCH events, supplies, and anomalies, but Kenny will not select them as a HUNT target. Spectators are excluded. - Day 1 can begin when any non-spectator player is present. - Time commands can no longer skip the final Day 1 WATCH warning. - The fourth Day 1 WATCH event now has its own warning text, and HUNT spawns use varied threat messages. - Kenny's combat flow now combines melee attacks, the existing seven-hit throw, the rare sky throw, fireballs, TNT, mob kicks, jumps, swimming, and obstacle breaking. - The normal seven-hit throw keeps its original strength and timing. - Kenny's base melee damage increased from 43 to 44 before campaign scaling. - Block destruction respects `mobGriefing`, protected blocks, world borders, and loaded terrain. Destroyed containers and valuable blocks now drop their contents. - Slabs, stairs, carpets, trapdoors, scaffolding, and other partial floors are better protected from accidental anti-stuck destruction. - Kenny uses safer spawn positions and will not force unloaded terrain to load. - Entering The End while Kenny is waiting after a death starts the End encounter within 5 seconds. An active encounter also transfers quickly when its target enters The End. - Survival and Adventure players in The End receive priority for the End encounter. - Campaign timing remains consistent when the server is empty or restarted. - Resetting the campaign now clears active encounters, delayed events, temporary effects, and previous victory progress. ## Fixed - Fixed duplicate Kenny spawns during deaths, respawns, dimension changes, chunk loading, and server restarts. - Fixed Kenny disappearing or becoming permanently inactive after a chunk unload or restart. - Fixed the post-death encounter delay being consumed by the first fatal hit, causing Kenny to return too quickly. - Fixed the respawn timer restarting from the initial join delay instead of the intended death cooldown. - Fixed The End encounter sometimes taking too long to begin after a player returned there. - Fixed late-joining players despawning Kenny or pausing the campaign for everyone else. - Fixed Creative players being unable to receive campaign progress and supplies. - Fixed old targets, warnings, sounds, and effects continuing after logout, death, teleportation, or dimension travel. - Fixed delayed events from a previous campaign firing after `/kenny reset`. - Fixed Day and objective messages being missed during joins or campaign transitions. - Fixed duplicate, partial, or interrupted supply deliveries, including deliveries spanning a restart. - Fixed supply grace periods ending incorrectly after a server restart. - Fixed WATCH events counting invalid sightings or triggering through solid walls. - Fixed Kenny becoming stuck while following an invalid or unreachable target. - Fixed tower jumps ending before the landing smash and follow-up attacks completed. - Fixed vertical breaching continuing after the player was no longer below Kenny. - Fixed failed fireball or TNT launches consuming an attack cooldown. - Fixed Ender Dragon targeting and explosions interfering with Kenny's encounter. - Fixed false End victories and duplicate, stacked, or disappearing victory rewards. - Fixed hostile behavior continuing during or after the victory sequence. - Fixed configuration changes being partially saved or unexpectedly resetting active timers. - Reduced unnecessary background work while Kenny is inactive. ## Removed - Removed old overlapping encounter behavior that could create duplicate spawns or conflicting targets. - Removed obsolete settings that no longer affected gameplay. - Simplified `/kenny` to the supported reset command. ## Notes - Existing Kenny 7.0.0 worlds and settings are upgraded automatically. - Defeating the Ender Dragon during Kenny's End campaign permanently ends his hostility for that world. Use `/kenny reset` to begin again. - Back up important worlds before installing a major update.

Kenny breaks a 4-block-wide path up to 3 blocks deep and stops as soon as the target is no longer underneath. - Added a 4x4 tower-jump landing smash followed by fireball and TNT pressure. - Added stronger obstacle clearing to help Kenny escape walls and cramped structures without destroying the floor beneath him. - Added a dedicated End encounter, Ender Dragon battle behavior, victory sequence, and campaign rewards. - Added English and Indonesian messages. - Added a categorized configuration screen and the `/kenny reset` command. ## Changed - Only one Kenny can be active across the server at a time. - Multiplayer targeting is fairer and follows Kenny's current valid target. - Every multiplayer player receives their own supply; a late join no longer interrupts an encounter already in progress. - Creative players can experience the story, WATCH events, supplies, and anomalies, but Kenny will not select them as a HUNT target. Spectators are excluded. - Day 1 can begin when any non-spectator player is present. - Time commands can no longer skip the final Day 1 WATCH warning. - The fourth Day 1 WATCH event now has its own warning text, and HUNT spawns use varied threat messages. - Kenny's combat flow now combines melee attacks, the existing seven-hit throw, the rare sky throw, fireballs, TNT, mob kicks, jumps, swimming, and obstacle breaking. - The normal seven-hit throw keeps its original strength and timing. - Kenny's base melee damage increased from 43 to 44 before campaign scaling. - Block destruction respects `mobGriefing`, protected blocks, world borders, and loaded terrain. Destroyed containers and valuable blocks now drop their contents. - Slabs, stairs, carpets, trapdoors, scaffolding, and other partial floors are better protected from accidental anti-stuck destruction. - Kenny uses safer spawn positions and will not force unloaded terrain to load. - Entering The End while Kenny is waiting after a death starts the End encounter within 5 seconds. An active encounter also transfers quickly when its target enters The End. - Survival and Adventure players in The End receive priority for the End encounter. - Campaign timing remains consistent when the server is empty or restarted. - Resetting the campaign now clears active encounters, delayed events, temporary effects, and previous victory progress. ## Fixed - Fixed duplicate Kenny spawns during deaths, respawns, dimension changes, chunk loading, and server restarts. - Fixed Kenny disappearing or becoming permanently inactive after a chunk unload or restart. - Fixed the post-death encounter delay being consumed by the first fatal hit, causing Kenny to return too quickly. - Fixed the respawn timer restarting from the initial join delay instead of the intended death cooldown. - Fixed The End encounter sometimes taking too long to begin after a player returned there. - Fixed late-joining players despawning Kenny or pausing the campaign for everyone else. - Fixed Creative players being unable to receive campaign progress and supplies. - Fixed old targets, warnings, sounds, and effects continuing after logout, death, teleportation, or dimension travel. - Fixed delayed events from a previous campaign firing after `/kenny reset`. - Fixed Day and objective messages being missed during joins or campaign transitions. - Fixed duplicate, partial, or interrupted supply deliveries, including deliveries spanning a restart. - Fixed supply grace periods ending incorrectly after a server restart. - Fixed WATCH events counting invalid sightings or triggering through solid walls. - Fixed Kenny becoming stuck while following an invalid or unreachable target. - Fixed tower jumps ending before the landing smash and follow-up attacks completed. - Fixed vertical breaching continuing after the player was no longer below Kenny. - Fixed failed fireball or TNT launches consuming an attack cooldown. - Fixed Ender Dragon targeting and explosions interfering with Kenny's encounter. - Fixed false End victories and duplicate, stacked, or disappearing victory rewards. - Fixed hostile behavior continuing during or after the victory sequence. - Fixed configuration changes being partially saved or unexpectedly resetting active timers. - Reduced unnecessary background work while Kenny is inactive. ## Removed - Removed old overlapping encounter behavior that could create duplicate spawns or conflicting targets. - Removed obsolete settings that no longer affected gameplay. - Simplified `/kenny` to the supported reset command. ## Notes - Existing Kenny 7.0.0 worlds and settings are upgraded automatically. - Defeating the Ender Dragon during Kenny's End campaign permanently ends his hostility for that world. Use `/kenny reset` to begin again. - Back up important worlds before installing a major update.

The fear effect is disabled in The End. - Added improved Kenny defeat rewards: - Two stacks of enchanted golden apples. - An enchanted Kenny Sword with 24 attack damage. - A full enchanted Kenny Armor set. -

Alternative routes are considered before a jump is used. - Jumping remains available for towers, terrain, and failed routes. - Kenny no longer pauses to behave like a ranged-only enemy. - Changed obstacle breaking: - Kenny now physically clears a complete 5-block-long, 5-block-wide, and 5-block-high volume in front of him when the chase is obstructed. - The sweep includes the center and begins at Kenny's current ground level. - Breaking uses bounded four-block batches with a short safety delay to protect server performance. - Block breaking still respects `mobGriefing`. - Server owners can disable block breaking or blacklist protected blocks. - Changed encounter difficulty: - Kenny begins with 30 hearts. - Later encounters repeatedly increase Kenny's health and damage. - The first encounter requires sustained player damage rather than a few strong hits. - Encounters after Kenny's first defeat are substantially harder. - Kenny is highly resistant to knockback and environmental hazards. - Kenny deals more melee damage and stronger knockback. - Kenny defeats non-player mobs with a single successful hit. -

Changed the close-range combat sequence to repeatedly combine melee attacks, player throws, pursuit, jumps, mob throws, and TNT attacks. - Changed close-range decisions so two melee hits open an alternating TNT or fireball attack before pursuit resumes. -

Sleeping is interrupted while the curse is active. - The first five Day 1 sleep attempts across the entire world can summon a dedicated Sleep-Watch Kenny. - Multiplayer shares this five-encounter limit; it is not reset or multiplied per player. - Sleep-Watch Kenny disappears four seconds after spawning; this duration is configurable. - Further Day 1 attempts and every attempt from Day 2 onward place armed TNT above the bed. - TNT traps are tied to the bed being used: each sleep attempt creates one trap above that bed, so separate beds can trigger separate TNT. - Sleep-Watch limits, dialogue, trap start day, fuse, chance, and cooldown are configurable. - Sleep encounters pause during supply delivery and after Kenny has been permanently sealed. - Changed Sleep-Watch dialogue to rotate through multiple messages while preserving “You are not alone.” as the first warning. - Changed Kenny's arrival and departure effects so both are marked by visible, harmless lightning. - Changed WATCH encounters so staring at Kenny for too long causes increasing darkness and nausea. - Changed gameplay messages to a shared action-bar queue: - Horror messages no longer clutter normal chat. - Messages are spaced so simultaneous events do not overwrite each other. - Multiplayer players receive the same global story messages in the intended order. - The queue has a safe pending-message limit to prevent spam from affecting server performance. - Changed supply delivery into an exclusive grace period: - Kenny, TNT, lightning, footsteps, door sounds, and other anomalies pause while supplies are delivered. - Normal horror activity resumes after players have had time to collect their supplies. - Changed Kenny's hunt start day so it can be configured from Day 2 through Day 20; Day 3 remains the default. - Changed progression after each Kenny defeat so future encounters continue becoming stronger. - Changed sound event names and organization for clearer resource-pack and configuration support. - Changed default horror text to shorter, cleaner, and more natural language. ## Fixed - Fixed a freeze that could occur when sleeping, waking, and triggering a Kenny encounter during the same night transition. -

Fixed break-block animations playing without clearing enough space for Kenny to continue chasing. - Fixed large block-update chains during obstacle breaking that could briefly freeze the game. - Fixed excessive block searches that could reduce performance during obstacle breaking. - Fixed thrown mobs traveling in the wrong direction or missing without damaging the player. - Changed mob throws into immediate kicks aimed at the locked player. - Changed kicked mobs to follow a straight, constant-speed projectile path. - Fixed nearby mobs not being selected for Kenny's throw attack. - Fixed player throws being ineffective against heavily armored players. - Fixed TNT thrown by Kenny behaving differently from his other aimed projectiles. -

Sleeping is interrupted while the curse is active. - The first five Day 1 sleep attempts across the entire world can summon a dedicated Sleep-Watch Kenny. - Multiplayer shares this five-encounter limit; it is not reset or multiplied per player. - Sleep-Watch Kenny disappears four seconds after spawning; this duration is configurable. - Further Day 1 attempts and every attempt from Day 2 onward place armed TNT above the bed. - TNT traps are tied to the bed being used: each sleep attempt creates one trap above that bed, so separate beds can trigger separate TNT. - Sleep-Watch limits, dialogue, trap start day, fuse, chance, and cooldown are configurable. - Sleep encounters pause during supply delivery and after Kenny has been permanently sealed. - Changed Sleep-Watch dialogue to rotate through multiple messages while preserving “You are not alone.” as the first warning. - Changed Kenny's arrival and departure effects so both are marked by visible, harmless lightning. - Changed WATCH encounters so staring at Kenny for too long causes increasing darkness and nausea. - Changed gameplay messages to a shared action-bar queue: - Horror messages no longer clutter normal chat. - Messages are spaced so simultaneous events do not overwrite each other. - Multiplayer players receive the same global story messages in the intended order. - The queue has a safe pending-message limit to prevent spam from affecting server performance. - Changed supply delivery into an exclusive grace period: - Kenny, TNT, lightning, footsteps, door sounds, and other anomalies pause while supplies are delivered. - Normal horror activity resumes after players have had time to collect their supplies. - Changed Kenny's hunt start day so it can be configured from Day 2 through Day 20; Day 3 remains the default. - Changed progression after each Kenny defeat so future encounters continue becoming stronger. -

Alternative routes are considered before a jump is used. - Jumping remains available for towers, terrain, and failed routes. - Kenny no longer pauses to behave like a ranged-only enemy. - Changed obstacle breaking: -

Sleeping is interrupted while the curse is active. - The first five Day 1 sleep attempts across the entire world can summon a dedicated Sleep-Watch Kenny. - Multiplayer shares this five-encounter limit; it is not reset or multiplied per player. - Sleep-Watch Kenny disappears four seconds after spawning; this duration is configurable. - Further Day 1 attempts and every attempt from Day 2 onward place armed TNT above the bed. - TNT traps are tied to the bed being used: each sleep attempt creates one trap above that bed, so separate beds can trigger separate TNT. - Sleep-Watch limits, dialogue, trap start day, fuse, chance, and cooldown are configurable. - Sleep encounters pause during supply delivery and after Kenny has been permanently sealed. - Changed Sleep-Watch dialogue to rotate through multiple messages while preserving “You are not alone.” as the first warning. - Changed Kenny's arrival and departure effects so both are marked by visible, harmless lightning. - Changed WATCH encounters so staring at Kenny for too long causes increasing darkness and nausea. - Changed gameplay messages to a shared action-bar queue: - Horror messages no longer clutter normal chat. - Messages are spaced so simultaneous events do not overwrite each other. - Multiplayer players receive the same global story messages in the intended order. - The queue has a safe pending-message limit to prevent spam from affecting server performance. - Changed supply delivery into an exclusive grace period: - Kenny, TNT, lightning, footsteps, door sounds, and other anomalies pause while supplies are delivered. - Normal horror activity resumes after players have had time to collect their supplies. - Changed Kenny's hunt start day so it can be configured from Day 2 through Day 20; Day 3 remains the default. - Changed progression after each Kenny defeat so future encounters continue becoming stronger. -

Alternative routes are considered before a jump is used. - Jumping remains available for towers, terrain, and failed routes. - Kenny no longer pauses to behave like a ranged-only enemy. - Changed obstacle breaking: -

Alternative routes are considered before a jump is used. - Jumping remains available for towers, terrain, and failed routes. - Kenny no longer pauses to behave like a ranged-only enemy. - Changed obstacle breaking: -

Changed Kenny's chase behavior: - Kenny now prioritizes direct pursuit like an aggressive melee creature. - Kenny continuously faces and runs toward his selected target. - Kenny recovers more quickly when a route becomes blocked. - Alternative routes are considered before a jump is used. - Jumping remains available for towers, terrain, and failed routes. - Kenny no longer pauses to behave like a ranged-only enemy. - Changed obstacle breaking: - Kenny now physically clears a complete 5-block-long, 5-block-wide, and 5-block-high volume in front of him when the chase is obstructed. - The sweep includes the center and begins at Kenny's current ground level. - Breaking uses bounded four-block batches with a short safety delay to protect server performance. - Block breaking still respects `mobGriefing`. - Server owners can disable block breaking or blacklist protected blocks. - Changed encounter difficulty: - Kenny begins with 30 hearts. - Later encounters repeatedly increase Kenny's health and damage. - The first encounter requires sustained player damage rather than a few strong hits. - Encounters after Kenny's first defeat are substantially harder. - Kenny is highly resistant to knockback and environmental hazards. - Kenny deals more melee damage and stronger knockback. - Kenny defeats non-player mobs with a single successful hit. - Changed The End encounter: - Kenny uses his complete Overworld and Nether moveset in The End. - Kenny receives major health, damage, and speed increases. - TNT and lightning events avoid damaging the Ender Dragon. - Horror events are more frequent and intense. - Changed Nether encounters: - Nether Kenny now uses the same complete pursuit and combat behavior as Overworld Kenny. - Spawn placement searches for a valid location within the Nether instead of using the roof. - Changed the close-range combat sequence to repeatedly combine melee attacks, player throws, pursuit, jumps, mob throws, and TNT attacks. - Changed close-range decisions so two melee hits open an alternating TNT or fireball attack before pursuit resumes. - Changed obstructed chase decisions so block breaking takes priority over ranged attacks and uses the break-block animation. - Changed fireball attacks to use the throw animation instead of continuing the normal chase animation. - Changed nearby obstructing mobs to be kicked toward the locked player before Kenny resumes the combat sequence. - Changed hostile mob behavior so common hostile creatures treat Kenny as an ally. - Changed WATCH and sleep encounters into separate encounter tasks: - They cannot appear at the same time. - A pending encounter waits for the active encounter to finish. - The regular WATCH schedule is not consumed or reset by a sleep encounter. - Changed sleep handling: - Sleeping is interrupted while the curse is active. - The first five Day 1 sleep attempts across the entire world can summon a dedicated Sleep-Watch Kenny. - Multiplayer shares this five-encounter limit; it is not reset or multiplied per player. - Sleep-Watch Kenny disappears four seconds after spawning; this duration is configurable. - Further Day 1 attempts and every attempt from Day 2 onward place armed TNT above the bed. - TNT traps are tied to the bed being used: each sleep attempt creates one trap above that bed, so separate beds can trigger separate TNT. - Sleep-Watch limits, dialogue, trap start day, fuse, chance, and cooldown are configurable. - Sleep encounters pause during supply delivery and after Kenny has been permanently sealed. - Changed Sleep-Watch dialogue to rotate through multiple messages while preserving “You are not alone.” as the first warning. - Changed Kenny's arrival and departure effects so both are marked by visible, harmless lightning. - Changed WATCH encounters so staring at Kenny for too long causes increasing darkness and nausea. - Changed gameplay messages to a shared action-bar queue: - Horror messages no longer clutter normal chat. - Messages are spaced so simultaneous events do not overwrite each other. - Multiplayer players receive the same global story messages in the intended order. - The queue has a safe pending-message limit to prevent spam from affecting server performance. - Changed supply delivery into an exclusive grace period: - Kenny, TNT, lightning, footsteps, door sounds, and other anomalies pause while supplies are delivered. - Normal horror activity resumes after players have had time to collect their supplies. - Changed Kenny's hunt start day so it can be configured from Day 2 through Day 20; Day 3 remains the default. - Changed progression after each Kenny defeat so future encounters continue becoming stronger. - Changed sound event names and organization for clearer resource-pack and configuration support. - Changed default horror text to shorter, cleaner, and more natural language. ## Fixed - Fixed a freeze that could occur when sleeping, waking, and triggering a Kenny encounter during the same night transition. -

Added per-player Day, objective, and hunt-start notices: - Players joining at different times receive the correct current progression messages. - One player receiving a notice no longer consumes it for every other player. - Added a `kenny:breakable_by_kenny` block tag: - Datapacks can control which blocks Kenny may break. - Block breaking still respects the `mobGriefing` game rule. - Added persistent custom-data identification for the Kenny Totem. - Added complete English and Indonesian gameplay translations. - Added missing subtitles for Kenny sound events. - Added regression coverage for configuration validation, resources, encounter rotation, and world-state serialization. -
