DurabilityPlus v1.2.1 — Realism & Performance Update

This release completes the 1.1–1.2 development cycle, introducing major new systems for degradation realism, weather-based wear, and overall stability improvements.

---

Added

• Weapon and bow damage now dynamically scale with durability
• Armor protection weakens progressively as armor wears down
• Weather wear system: tools and armor degrade over time during rain or storms
• Wrong-tool multipliers for mining and combat misuse
• Salvage system allowing material recovery from broken tools and armor
• Auto-Protect system to prevent accidental final breakage
• Low-durability ping with per-player toggle command (/dp ping)
• Mending rebalance factor to prevent infinite repair loops
• Optional repair commands: /dp repair and /dp repairall
• Improved compatibility with custom items and non-vanilla gear
• Updated config sections for all new features (weatherWear, wrongTool, salvage, autoProtect, mending, lowDurabilityPing)

---

Changed

• Completely restructured mining and combat degradation logic for higher accuracy
• Rewritten internal scaling system for consistent degradation across all item types
• Optimized event handling for lower overhead and improved tick stability
• Updated animation system using ProtocolLib for smoother visual feedback
• Improved config parsing with null-safety and legacy value support
• Better integration with RealisticSeasons, mcMMO, and similar mechanics plugins

---

Fixed

• Fixed rare item desync when updating stacked durability values
• Fixed armor durability not updating correctly in edge cases
• Fixed Elytra repair exploits and incorrect wear detection
• Fixed lore refreshes not applying after reload
• Fixed break-time inconsistencies under certain Paper server builds

---

Summary

DurabilityPlus v1.2.1 focuses on realism, stability, and immersion.
This update makes durability behavior more responsive, configurable, and consistent — preparing the groundwork for future optional “delay mode” and advanced degradation systems.
