# StrengthSMP 1.1.8 ## 🌐 Six languages **English · Русский · Español · Deutsch · Français · Português** Switch live with `/strengthsmp lang <en|ru|es|de|fr|pt>` — no restart, no reload. Tab-completed, and the choice is saved to `config.yml`. All six live in one `messages.yml` as top-level blocks, **196 keys each at exact parity**. Add your own language by copying a block and translating it; anything missing falls back to English rather than printing a raw key. ## 🛠️ Admin commands are now translated The entire `/strengthsmp` interface — help menu, every success and error, the system-info readout, item checks — previously printed English only. It now runs through the message system: **60 new keys across all six languages.** `[ERROR]` and `[SUCCESS]` labels localise too, which affects every command in the plugin, not just admin ones. So do the shared `no-permission`, `only-players`, `player-not-found` and `invalid-amount` messages, which were already translated but never actually used by any code. ## 🍳 Crafting recipes now read config.yml The `recipes:` section was previously decorative — recipes were hardcoded in Java and ignored it. It is now authoritative: **shape and ingredients both come from `config.yml`.** Validated on load. A bad material, a ragged shape, or a symbol with no ingredient logs a clear reason and falls back to the built-in recipe, so a typo can never break crafting: ``` [Recipes] recipes.strength-item: unknown material 'BANANA_SWORD' for ingredient 'P'. Using the built-in Strength Item recipe. ``` **Existing servers: your crafting does not change.** Configs still carrying the old placeholder values are migrated automatically to the recipe that was actually in force, and it says so in the console. Genuinely customised configs are left alone. ## 🔧 Fixes - Startup banner read a hardcoded `v1.1.5` regardless of the real version. It now reads from `plugin.yml` and cannot drift again. --- ### Compatibility Minecraft **1.16 → 1.21.11** · Bukkit / Spigot / Paper / Purpur · no dependencies. Drop-in upgrade from 1.1.7 — no config changes required, nothing to migrate by hand. New message keys are added automatically; your existing `messages.yml` edits are preserved. ### Verified before release Load-tested on a clean Paper 1.21.1 server alongside ViaVersion/ViaBackwards: zero errors, zero warnings, clean enable and disable. Live checks confirmed class switching, all six actives and their cooldowns, damage scaling (STR −10 → 3.5 avg damage vs STR +10 → 10.2), kill-to-shard transfer, the Monarch crown, the totem limiter capping at 2, `/bind`, permissions, the combat tag, recipe loading from config, the invalid-material fallback, the stale-config migration, and live language switching.

# StrengthSMP v1.1.3 - Stability & Scaling Update This update addresses mechanics with the Sword's Blink ability, fixes mathematical scaling issues for the expanded `-10` to `10` strength limits, and prevents potential cooldown exploits. ## 🛠️ Bug Fixes * **Blink Ability Ground Clipping:** Adjusted the raycast mechanics for the Sword's Blink ability to ignore minor downward looking angles. Players will no longer get blocked by flat ground when looking slightly down. * **Negative Strength Cooldown Exploit:** Clamped the dynamic strength item cooldown calculation to a minimum of 3 seconds. This prevents players with negative strength (down to `-10`) from bypassing the cooldown and spamming items. * **Attacker Damage Multiplier Bug:** Fixed a calculation error in the damage listener where negative strength attackers were having their damage reduced using the victim's defense reduction configuration instead of the attacker's per-strength damage config. ## 📈 Calculations & Scaling Improvements * **Standardized Multipliers:** Simplified the damage and defense formulas to scale linearly across all strength limits (`-10` to `10`): * **Damage Multiplier:** `1.0 + (strength * damage-per-strength)` * **Defense Multiplier:** `1.0 - (strength * victim-reduction-per-strength)` This aligns the gameplay math with the documentation in `config.yml` and eliminates division-by-zero or range boundary errors. ## 📝 Configuration Changes * Internal version bumped to `1.1.3`.

## ⚔️ StrengthSMP v1.1.2 Changelog This update focuses on standardizing crafting recipes, refining Discord integration routing, and optimization cleanups to improve performance. --- ### 📡 Discord Hook Routing & Audit Logs * **Dedicated Audit Logging:** Separated public announcements (like Monarch changes) from raw audit log streams. Kills, deaths, and bounty claims are now routed quietly to your logging channels. * **Payload Optimizations:** Improved payload queuing for the built-in webhook driver to prevent thread blocking during high-traffic combat periods. ### 🔨 Recipe Adjustments * **Strength Shards & Reroll Books:** Realigned recipe grid slots to match configuration specifications. * Strength Shard recipe now correctly utilizes the central **Diamond Pickaxe** slot. * Reroll Book recipe now correctly checks for **Prismarine Crystals** in the middle-left/right grid slots. ### 🧹 Cleanups & Quality of Life * **Quiet Death Decreases:** Suppressed spammy "strength dropped" chat alerts during deaths. Players can now focus entirely on PvP tactics without chat clutter. * **Max Strength Overflow:** Players claiming bounties or kills at max strength (5/5) will now have the overflow rewards dropped as physical **Strength Shards** rather than losing them.

# ⚔️ StrengthSMP v1.1.0 Changelog ## 🔒 New Feature: Weapon Binding System (`/bind`) Bind your class weapon to your soul to ensure you never lose your competitive edge: * **Binding Interface:** Run `/bind` to open a custom 27-slot GUI with confirmation slots and real-time validation. * **Costs:** Binding a new weapon costs **3 Strength**. Swapping to a different class weapon costs **1 Strength**. * **Keep-on-Death & Loyalty Return:** Bound items are kept in your inventory when you die. Upon respawning, a custom spinning Loyalty-style animation launches the weapon back into your hands, knocking back any intermediate entities in its flight path. * **Accidental Drop Prevention:** Drop inputs (`Q`) are silently cancelled for bound items. * **Statistics Grimoires:** The binding GUI displays 5 custom stats-tracking books: 1. **Souls Harvested:** Tracks cumulative PvP kills and lists your recent victims. 2. **Damage Dealt:** Tracks total cumulative damage dealt. 3. **Soul Sacrifices:** Tracks deaths occurred while holding the weapon. 4. **Duration Bound:** Shows elapsed real-time since binding. 5. **Ability Triggers:** Counts active class ability uses. --- ## 🎲 New Feature: Animated Reroll Book GUI * Right-clicking a **Reroll Book** (Weapon Reroll grimoire item) now triggers a cinematic, crate-style scrolling shuffle screen (`WeaponShuffleGUI`). * The GUI scrolls through all available classes and dynamically decelerates, ending on your new destiny with thunder sounds and visual particles. * *Anti-Exploit:* Closing the inventory early immediately finalizes the choice to prevent rollback exploits. --- ## 🧩 PlaceholderAPI Additions We have expanded our placeholders to support the new binding features: * `%strengthsmp_has_bound_weapon%` — Returns `Yes` or `No` if the player has a bound weapon. * `%strengthsmp_bound_weapon_class%` — Returns the display name of the bound weapon (e.g. `Sword`, `Axe`) or `None`. --- ## ⚙️ Universal Compatibility & Stability Patches * **Dynamic Skulls Fallback:** Rewrote profile generation to use reflection-based Mojang `GameProfile` on older versions (1.16.5 - 1.17) and Spigot's `PlayerProfile` API on 1.18+, eliminating startup class-loading crashes. * **Safe Particle & Sound Resolvers:** Added runtime resolvers with retro-compatibility fallbacks to ensure modern particles (e.g. Sculk/Sonic boom) and sounds don't crash servers running older Minecraft versions. * **1.20.5+ Particle Migration:** Automatically maps legacy block crack particles to the new consolidated block particle system on 1.20.5+ / 1.21+ servers.
