MaceBorn v1.3

◆ Important Fixes

• Fixed Player stats could be reset to zero when the database was briefly unavailable as a player joined (MySQL setups). Your players' kills, combos and kill streaks are now safe from accidental wipes.
• Fixed Wrong plugin version was shown - the plugin reported 1.0.0. It now shows its real version, so update checkers and your console finally agree.

◆ Stability & Performance

• Better memory usage - fixed a slow memory leak that built up as players joined and left. Long-running servers stay clean.
• Stats autosave - stats are now saved automatically every few minutes while players are online, not only when they log off. A server crash no longer loses progress. Adjust with database.mysql.autosave-minutes.
• Faster every tick - particle effects are now cached instead of being re-read from config constantly. Smoother gameplay, especially when many players hold maces at once.

◆ New Options to Protect Your Server

• targets-only-players - mace skills no longer hit villagers, animals, mobs or armor stands. Great for spawn areas and farms.
• require-line-of-sight - skills can no longer damage enemies through walls.
• Fairer teleports - Riftwalker and Phantom skills now refuse to teleport into walls, lava or the void. No more unfair "teleport into the void" tricks.

Both combat options live under combat in config.yml and are off by default - existing servers behave exactly as before until you enable them.

◆ New Commands

• /mace stats [player] - check anyone's kills, highest combo and best kill streak. Great for leaderboards and events.
• /mace reset confirm - wipe a player's stats (with a confirmation step so nothing happens by accident).

◆ Configuration That Now Actually Works

• prefix - this setting was ignored before. It now really controls the message prefix (set it to "" to remove the prefix entirely).
• inspect.trigger-key - now supports SNEAK (Shift), DROP (Q) or SWAP_OFFHAND (F) to preview a mace's stats.
• systems.cancel-entity-interactions - if you want players to be able to ride or trade while holding a mace, set this to false.

◆ Quality of Life

• /mace give no longer silently swallows a mace when the player's inventory is full - it drops it at their feet and tells them.

◆ For Administrators

• A full README is now included - installation, all commands and permissions, MySQL setup, and a troubleshooting section.
• Cleaned up internal code and removed dead settings. A few item descriptions (e.g. Titanbreaker) now match what they actually do.

◆ Upgrade Notes

• On first start after updating, MaceBorn backs up your configs and adds the new settings automatically. No manual editing needed.
• All new safety options are off by default, so your existing gameplay is unchanged until you switch them on.
