• World Pre-Generation:

🛠️ Improvements and Fixes

Core (BattleRoyalePlugin)

• Critical Error Fixes: Fixed the cannot find symbol method getLootManager() error by adding the initialization of LootManager and the corresponding getter in BattleRoyalePlugin.
• Version Management: Updated the internal version number to 2.0.0.

GameManager

• Improved World Management: Completely redesigned the logic for creating and deleting game worlds:
  • The createNewGameWorld method now safely unloads and deletes old worlds before creating a new one.
  • Added termination of all active tasks (startingTask, airdropTask, borderDamageTask, generatorTask) when creating a new world to prevent duplication.
• Safe Game Start: Game start is now divided into two stages: world generation (startGame) and teleportation/unfreeze (continueGameStart), ensuring a smoother transition.
• Constant Restart: The endGame method has been changed—instead of stopping the server, it now automatically restarts a new game cycle (createNewGameWorld(true)).
• Zone Damage: A new borderDamageTask has been added to deal damage to players outside the shrinking border.

Game Listener

• PvP Protection in FROZEN: An onMove handler has been added that cancels player movement (except for changing the camera angle) during the FROZEN phase, ensuring a fair start.

TeamManager

• Team Damage: The friendly fire check logic (friendly-fire) has been moved from GameListener to a more appropriate place using TeamManager.

Language Files (ru.yml, en.yml, de.yml)

• All new language keys have been added to support the Airdrop and World Pre-Generation systems.
