Altar Crafting Changes
Legendary weapons are now crafted by right-clicking the altar’s structure block.
Left-clicking the invisible armor stand is no longer required.
After a successful craft:
Ingredients are consumed.
The legendary weapon is awarded.
The hologram is removed.
The rotating weapon display is removed.
The interaction hitbox is removed.
The altar is unregistered and cannot be used again.
The structure block remains as a permanent used-altar remnant.
A visual lightning strike now hits the structure block when crafting completes.
The lightning effect does not damage players, create fire, or destroy the remnant.
Dragon Heart Rewards
Ender Dragon damage is now tracked separately for every player and dragon.
The Dragon Heart is awarded exclusively to the player who dealt the most damage and is placed directly into their inventory.
If their inventory is full:
The Dragon Heart drops at their feet.
The dropped heart glows.
Only the winning player can collect it.
Mobs, other players, and hoppers cannot take it.
If the winner disconnects before receiving the reward, it is delivered when they rejoin.

Ancient Blade

Supports:
Standard & color codes
Hex colors using &#RRGGBB

{kills} placeholder for Ancient Blade
