Changelog - xHeadTurns

All news, fixes, and improvements for the project.

[v1.0.5] - 2026-02-25

🚀 New Features

• MiniMessage Support: Holograms now support the modern Adventure format.
  • Gradients: <gradient:#a7c7e7:#77dd77>Text</gradient>
  • Rainbow: <rainbow>Text</rainbow>
  • Hex Colors: <#FF0000>Text
• Advanced Color System: The background edit command (/xhte ... background) now accepts:
  • Names: RED, BLUE, TRANSPARENT.
  • RGB: 255,0,0 10,0,30.
  • Hexadecimal: #FF0055.
• Automatic Centering: When creating or moving a head, it now automatically snaps to the exact center of the block (x.5, z.5) facing the player.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• CRITICAL: "Zombie" Fix: Fixed an issue where heads and holograms would duplicate or become immortal upon reload/crash.
  • All entities now have Persistent=false. If the server crashes, Minecraft removes them automatically.
• Hologram Overlap Fix: Inverted the hologram construction logic.
  • Before: Grew downwards, clipping into the head.
  • Now: Grows upwards from the base, always respecting the head's space.
• Rotation Fix: Fixed a bug where heads lost their direction (Yaw/Pitch) upon server restart. Now saved correctly in data.yml.
• Command Fix: Resolved IndexOutOfBounds error when using short aliases like /xhtc or /xhte.
• Detection Fix (Case Sensitivity): The plugin now internally forces names to lowercase. It no longer matters if you type "Head" or "head"; the plugin will find it.

⚡ Technical Changes

• Data Migration: Active heads are no longer saved in config.yml.
  • Implemented data.yml to handle active entity storage, separating logic configuration from save data.
• Animation Optimization: Animation tasks now run on the main thread (runTaskTimer) safely to prevent desynchronization with the Bukkit API.

🗑️ Removed

• Removed strict legacy color support in favor of the hybrid system (Legacy + MiniMessage).
• Removed hardcoded messages in Java code; everything now responds to messages/en.yml and es.yml.
