Not The Servers Fault

[1.1.0] - The Polished Chaos Update

• Secret Diamond Ore: Randomly selects an ore (Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Emerald, Iron, or Coal) with equal chance on server start to drop diamonds.
• Mob Ambush System: Mining the Secret Ore up close triggers scary sounds and a mob ambush (Zombies, Skeletons, Witches).
• Lobby Security: Added full invincibility and disabled PvP in the lobby area.
• Admin Commands: Added /ntsf spectator <add|remove> <player> to manage the spectator list and /ntsf reload to reload the config.
• Fake Player Polish: Full sequence (Join -> Message -> Leave) with a 3-8 minute cooldown.
• Improved Spawning: Ambush mobs now spawn within ±10 Y-levels to ensure they appear in the same cave system.
• Dynamic Terrain Detection: The lobby now properly detects when Chunky is generating terrain and blocks game start.
• Aggressive World Wipe: On every world reset (startup), the plugin now entirely deletes the world, world_nether, and world_the_end folders (including uid.dat, level.dat, etc.) to guarantee a fully fresh generation with a new random seed natively selected by the server. (Fixed: Recreates base directory structures immediately to prevent server file-saving errors).
• Automatic Server Reset: The server now automatically shuts down/resets after a configurable delay once the challenge is complete.
• Challenge Timer: Displays the total time taken to beat the challenge in chat and titles upon winning.
• Bug Fixes: Prioritized Secret Ore drops, removed broken loading percentage, fixed command autocompletion, and resolved FileNotFoundException/NoSuchFileException during world regeneration.
• Quality of Life: Operators (OPs) can now change their GameMode freely.

[1.0.1] - Secret Ore & Ambush Update

• Secret Diamond Ore: Randomly chooses an ore from Gold, Redstone, Lapis, or Emerald on start (25% chance each).
• Secret Ore Drops: Drops 1 Diamond (80% chance) instead of its usual drops.
• Mob Ambush Logic:
  • Mining the Secret Ore triggers scary sounds and a mob ambush (12 zombies, 4 skeletons, 2 witches).
  • Improved spawning logic: mobs now spawn within ±10 Y-levels to ensure they appear in the same cave system.
  • Added safety checks for Lava/Magma and a direct-spawn fallback if no safe spot is found.
• Fake Player Flow:
  • Full sequence implemented: Join -> Chat Message -> Leave Message -> Cooldown.
  • Added 3-8 minute cooldown between fake player events per player.
• Console Logging: Added [QUIET] logging on startup to verify the secret ore without alerting players.

[1.0.0] - Official Release

• World Reset on Start: Added logic to automatically set time to day, clear weather, and reset player health/hunger/effects when the challenge officially starts.
• Player Data Fix: Fixed a critical bug where player data would fail to save because the playerdata folder was missing after world cleaning. Standard subdirectories are now reliably recreated.
• Massive Size Reduction: Removed the Adventure platform library completely in favor of native Bukkit/Spigot APIs. Final jar size is now ~65KB (down from 1.1MB).
• Ping & Packet Optimization:
  • Resolved lobby "packet flooding" that caused high ping and input lag.
  • Optimized UI and music loops to be significantly more network-efficient.
• UI & Visibility:
  • Re-implemented Titles, ActionBars, and BossBars using native Spigot methods for 100% reliability on 1.21.x.
  • Added explicit title timing to ensure visibility across all server forks.
• Social & Chat:
  • Unblocked chat in the lobby.
  • Added join notifications: Waiting for Players (X/X).
• Ghost Players: Improved PacketEvents logic to ensure fake players appear in the Tab list without external dependencies.
• Startup World Cleaning: Implemented safe, async cleaning of world folders on startup to ensure a fresh environment for every round.
• Chunky Integration: Finalized a robust reflection hook for Chunky to track terrain generation without startup warnings.

[1.1-BETA]

• Platform Independence: Migrated from Paper API to Spigot API. The plugin now officially supports Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Purpur.
• Universal Adventure Support: Integrated BukkitAudiences to fix issues with Titles, ActionBars, and BossBars across all platforms.
• New Reset Mechanic: Removed the active World Reset timer. The plugin now automatically checks for and deletes world, world_nether, and world_the_end folders on server startup if they are under 500MB total.
• Lobby UI Fixes: Fixed a bug where Titles and ActionBars were not displaying for players in the lobby.
• Start Sequence Overhaul:
  • Challenge start now waits 5 seconds before activation.
  • Chat is cleared for all participants.
  • Sends a red "Good Luck." message to set the mood.
• Fake Player Improvements:
  • Fixed Fake Players not appearing in the Tab list (now using multiple PacketEvents update actions).
  • Added a "leave" message for the previous fake player before a new one "joins," making the ghost presence feel more consistent.
• Version Compatibility: Verified and explicitly noted support for 1.21.x (1.21 - 1.21.11).
