🚀 AFKDummy v1.0.1 — Multi-Dummy Support, Performance & Security Patch

This update brings full support for multiple dummies per player, resolves Netty memory buildup, hardens entity protections, and integrates bStats metrics reporting!

---

✨ What's New & Key Features

• Multi-Dummy Scaling (max-dummies-per-player):

  • Fixed the issue where changing the config limit didn't allow players to spawn additional dummies.
  • Players can now spawn and maintain multiple AFK dummies simultaneously up to your configured max-dummies-per-player setting.
  • Each session is assigned a unique deterministic UUID to ensure zero entity collisions in Paper's player list and chunk map.

• Upgraded Management GUI:

  • Main Menu: Shows real-time progression (e.g., Active Dummies: 1/2), lists coordinates and remaining timers for every active dummy.
  • Smart Despawn: Quickly despawn the nearest dummy or shift-click to despawn all active dummies at once.

• bStats Telemetry Integration:

  • Added bStats metrics reporting to track active dummy counts, popular payment currencies, and server limit configurations anonymously.

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Netty Memory Optimization: Fixed an EmbeddedChannel buffer leak by attaching an outbound packet release handler, preventing heap memory buildup over long uptimes.
• NMS Location Enforcement: Fixed an issue where Paper's playerdata loading would reset newly placed dummies back to world spawn or old coordinates.
• GUI Interaction Fix: Resolved a client-side glitch where right-clicking a dummy would fire for both hands and trigger the menu twice in a single tick.
• Hardened Grief Protections:
  • Added protection against piston heads extending into dummies and sticky pistons pulling adjacent blocks into dummy hitboxes.
  • Added block explosion immunity (Nether beds and Respawn Anchors) and portal teleportation cancellation.
• Atomic JSON Storage: Replaced asynchronous direct file writing with atomic temporary file swapping (ATOMIC_MOVE) to eliminate any risk of dummies.json corruption.
• Dynamic Reloading: Running /afkdummy reload now immediately reschedules expiration cleanup tasks with your updated config intervals.
