xApocalypse

## xApocalypse 1.7.0 - Blood Moons now bring configurable storms, thunder, and creepy ambient sounds. - Players can no longer sleep through an active Blood Moon. - Blood Moon atmosphere safely resumes after server restarts. - Previous weather is restored when the Blood Moon ends. - Lobby and unrelated worlds remain completely unaffected.

- Fixed manual spawn requests consuming counts when terrain probes fail. - Added bounded retries: 10 probes per tick, 1,500 maximum. - Added accurate results such as 2/2 MINER zombies. - All admin spawn jobs now share one global 10-probe-per-tick budget. - Players cannot stack duplicate spawn jobs. - Mutant commands perform only one expensive attempt per tick. - MythicMobs registry scans are limited to once per second. - Queued jobs are cleared safely during reload/shutdown.

# xApocalypse 1.6.3 - Improved horde, chunk-loading, and LOD performance. - Batched large zombie spawns and Blood Moon cleanup to prevent lag spikes. - Fixed Zombie Guts occasionally leaving players permanently stuck at five hearts. - Improved protection-plugin handling for Miner block breaking.

- Fixed a bug where Scent placeholder was appearing as decimals - Added "Tonight" instead of 0 in days left placeholder

## [1.5.0] - 2026-07-14 ### Added - Added optional PlaceholderAPI integration through a bundled internal expansion. PlaceholderAPI remains a soft dependency, so xApocalypse still loads normally when it is absent. - Added `%xapocalypse_bloodmoon_days_left%` for the whole number of in-game days until the next natural Blood Moon. It returns `0` while a Blood Moon is active or due that day. - Added `%xapocalypse_zombie_guts_duration%` for the active player's remaining Zombie Guts duration in whole seconds, returning `0` when inactive. - Added `%xapocalypse_current_scent%` for the active player's live scent value, returning `0` when no player context or scent is available. - Added a configurable vanilla sound when a natural or forced Blood Moon begins. It is played to online players in enabled and lobby worlds. - Added a configurable proximity sound after every successful Mutant spawn, including guaranteed Blood Moon, periodic Blood Moon, and admin-command spawns. - Added sound controls for enablement, Bukkit sound name, volume, and pitch. Mutant sounds also support a configurable hearing radius. - Added a dedicated PlaceholderAPI documentation page and updated the README and configuration reference for the new features. ### Configuration - Added `bloodmoon.start-sound.enabled` (default `true`). - Added `bloodmoon.start-sound.name` (default `ENTITY_WITHER_SPAWN`). - Added `bloodmoon.start-sound.volume` (default `1.0`). - Added `bloodmoon.start-sound.pitch` (default `0.7`). - Added `mythicmobs.integration.spawn-sound.enabled` (default `true`). - Added `mythicmobs.integration.spawn-sound.name` (default `ENTITY_ENDER_DRAGON_GROWL`). - Added `mythicmobs.integration.spawn-sound.volume` (default `1.0`). - Added `mythicmobs.integration.spawn-sound.pitch` (default `0.8`). - Added `mythicmobs.integration.spawn-sound.radius` (default `48.0` blocks). - Existing installations receive these missing keys through the automatic configuration synchronizer. Administrators do not need to delete or regenerate `config.yml`; existing settings and comments are preserved. - Invalid configured sound names are skipped safely and reported in the server log instead of preventing the plugin from loading. ### Changed - Added PlaceholderAPI 2.11.6 as a compile-time-only dependency and declared PlaceholderAPI in `plugin.yml` as a soft dependency. - Blood Moon day calculations and Zombie Guts remaining-time access are now exposed as read-only manager APIs for integrations. - Mutant spawn audio is emitted from the shared successful-spawn path, ensuring consistent behavior across every supported spawn source. - Updated all current release badges, help text, installation examples, artifact names, and resource headers to version 1.5.0. ### Fixed - Improved Minecraft attribute resolution across Paper 1.21 API variants. xApocalypse now tries modern registry keys, legacy namespaced keys, and reflective legacy attribute fields before reporting a missing attribute. ### Compatibility and upgrade notes - Requires Java 21 and a server compatible with Bukkit/Paper API 1.21, matching previous releases. - GriefPrevention, MythicMobs, and PlaceholderAPI integrations are all optional. - PlaceholderAPI values requiring player state return `0` when parsed without a player context. - Sound triggers use vanilla Bukkit sound names only; custom resource-pack sound keys are not supported in this release.
