Zombie Break & Build

### Configuration * Added `/zbb config` commands for viewing, editing, resetting and reloading the configuration directly in-game. * Added wildcard and exclusion support to entity/block lists: * `minecraft:*` * `*:zombie` * `*:*` * `!minecraft:creeper` * `@monster` * Replaced `applyToAllMonsters` / `additionalEntityIdList` with the more flexible `affectedEntityIdList`. The default is `["@monster"]`. * Config entries referencing IDs from currently unavailable mods are now preserved in the file and simply ignored until those IDs become available. * Invalid config files are preserved as `.broken`, and backups are created when overwriting an existing config. ### Building * Build blocks can now be configured per dimension. * Overworld: dirt by default. * Nether: netherrack by default. * End: end stone by default. * Other dimensions use stone as the default fallback. * Added per-mob build block overrides, which take priority over dimension settings. * Improved bridge building, including cardinal directions, diagonal movement and mobs with non-standard hitbox sizes. * Mobs trying to climb toward a higher target can now break blocks obstructing the climb instead of simply giving up. * Added individual switches for the four main AI tactics: * height adjustment; * bridge building; * obstacle clearing; * dangerous block mitigation. ### Targeting and AI * Added `continueSeeingTargetsThroughBlocksLimit`, allowing the maximum wall thickness for retaining an existing target to be configured separately from finding a new target. * Reworked solid-block counting for through-wall targeting, including diagonal rays and block-boundary cases. * Improved stuck detection and break/build activation when normal pathfinding cannot reach the target. * Mobs no longer immediately start modifying blocks during short periods where no path is available. * AI transient state is reset when a mob changes or loses its target, preventing behavior from a previous target from leaking into the next one. * Failed build/break actions are no longer treated as successful actions. * Mobs no longer attempts to break or scan blocks in unloaded chunks. ### Block breaking and balance * Reworked block health calculation. Block health is now calculated from configurable hardness exponent and multiplier values. * Added per-block health overrides with `blockHealthOverrideMap`. * Added `maximumBreakableBlockHardness`. * Reworked tool and mob-size damage multipliers to use configurable exponents. * Removed the old hard cap on tool destroy speed. * Improved block crack updates and cleanup. ### Block restoration * Pending broken-block restoration and mob-built-block disappearance now persist across world/server restarts. * Added a periodic colored marker particle showing positions where broken blocks are waiting to reappear. * Restoring a broken block no longer destroys a solid block that was placed in that position afterwards. The newer block is preserved and the original stored block is recovered as an item instead. * Restoration now handles replaceable blocks and ZBB-built tracked blocks more safely. * Improved recovery when a block-breaking attempt fails. * Mob-built disappearing blocks now preserve and restore block-entity NBT in addition to the old block state. * Improved behavior across chunk unload/reload and cleaned up stale disappearing-block visuals. ### Falling blocks * Added support for ZBB-built falling blocks such as sand and gravel. * Disappearance tracking follows the falling block to its landing position while preserving the original timer. * Stored block damage also follows falling blocks instead of remaining at the original position. --- #### Configuration compatibility note The config file is now named `zombies-break-build.toml` instead of `zombies-break-&-build.toml`, and several configuration fields were replaced or renamed. Existing 1.6.3 configurations require manual migration when updating to this version.
