PartyAnimals

New Features

• The simple entity list in each pinata template has been removed in favor of pinata variants.
  • Configure entity types, display names, sizes (scale), and raw NBT data for every variant.
• Added hooks for ModelEngine and BetterModel.
  • You can now assign a custom model ID to any pinata variant.
  • Pinata reflexes can now trigger specific animations on your custom models.
• Reworked pinata movement options:
  • ACTIVE: Wanders, looks at players, and flees when hit.
  • PASSIVE: Wanders and looks at players, but doesn't attempt to flee.
  • STATIONARY: Stays in place but turns to look at nearby players.

Breaking Changes

It is highly recommended to regenerate your config files. Here are the notable changes:

• The old entityTypes list has been removed. These must be manually redefined under the new variants section.
• The separate lists for rewards and commands have been merged into a single list called actions.
  • Ensure rewards and commands in your config files have been renamed to actions.
• Renamed several placeholders for clarity:
  • <pinata> -> <pinata_name>
  • <entity_type> -> <pinata_type>
  • <health> -> <pinata_health>
  • <max-health> -> <pinata_max_health>

Additions

• Added <entity_type> placeholder support for reward commands.
• Added RAINBOW color for boss bars to cycle colors automatically.
• Added a NONE option for the hit cooldown display setting to hide notifications.

Changes & Improvements

• Updated /pa vote send to accept an optional service name argument.
• Improved the Blink reflex teleportation logic to reliably find safe standing spots.
• Removed /pa vote test command as it was redundant.
• Updated dependencies.

Improvements & Changes

• Fixed an issue where the update checker logic was incorrect resulting in no notifications.
• Update notifications now appear exclusively in the server console on startup rather than in-game chat.

Fixes

• Fixed a race condition where sending multiple votes simultaneously could bypass daily vote limits.

Changes

• Vote reminders now utilize 'actions' (sounds, particles, commands) instead of just sending a chat message.

This update brings a new feature: Daily Vote Limits. You can now cap how many rewards a player can receive per day which would then allow you to have additional vote sites set up as 'backups' or 'alternatives'.

NEW! Daily Vote Limits

You can now control exactly how many times a player can be rewarded for voting within a single day.

• Set a hard limit (default is 5). Any votes received after this limit is reached will be logged but will not grant rewards.
• The system calculates the limit based on the server's local time (which resets at midnight).
• You can define specific actions to run when a player hits the limit, such as sending them a warning message or playing a sound.

Other Changes

• Adjusted the default settings to provide a better out-of-the-box experience.
  • Pinata module is now enabled by default (it's the main feature, after all!).
  • Vote reminders & community goal settings are now disabled by default.
