EliteMobs 10.3.1:

[New] Bedrock players can now see custom-modeled bosses and NPCs through Geyser (requires latest FreeMinecraftModels and ResourcePackManager) [New] Added a configurable cap on damage indicator particles to prevent client freezes on high-damage hits [Fix] Dungeon boss loot lockout now applies to all premade dungeons (default raised to 72 hours) [Fix] Locked-out players no longer earn skill XP from the boss they're on cooldown for [Fix] Instanced dungeon bosses no longer rescale to player level during phase switches [Fix] Fixed phase bosses sometimes not registering their lockout under the right identifier [Fix] Combat level tag above player names no longer disappears after world change or respawn [Fix] Fixed arenas failing to load on first server start when their worlds load after EliteMobs [Fix] /nightbreaklogin now refreshes content access immediately instead of requiring a restart [Fix] Fixed NPCs going invisible after /freeminecraftmodels reload [Tweak] Various MagmaCore library improvements (Bedrock position sync, MC 26 Spigot compatibility, classloader isolation for shaded copies, etc.) [Tweak] plugin.yml api-version updated to 1.21.4

EliteMobs 10.3.0:

• [New] Cross-plugin LocationOwnership API — EliteMobs now registers itself with MagmaCore's LocationOwnership service, so any plugin shading MagmaCore (FMM, MegaBlockSurvivors, BetterStructures, …) can call em.location.owned_by(loc, "EliteMobs"), .owners(loc), .is_protected(loc), .kinds_at(loc), .has_kind(loc, "open_world_dungeon") from a Lua script and get a correct answer regardless of which classloader hosts the script. Kind tags include "elitemobs", "world_package", "open_world_dungeon" (for WorldDungeonPackage), and the dungeon size category name. Older FMM jars (pre-2.4.0 LocationAPI) still get the legacy direct-registry bridge via NoClassDefFoundError fallback.
• [New] Broken elite weapons now block melee damage too, not just bow shots — an elite spear/sword/axe/scythe at last durability cancels EntityDamageByEntityEvent (ENTITY_ATTACK / ENTITY_SWEEP_ATTACK) the same way bows already cancel EntityShootBowEvent. Players see a configurable subtitle ("brokenItemSubtitleWarning" in ItemSettings.yml, default "&cYour weapon is broken!") so it's clear why their hits stopped landing instead of feeling like a silent bug.
• [New] DROPPABLE item type — adds a third option alongside CUSTOM and UNIQUE for items that should enter the random elite drop pool (like CUSTOM) but never appear in shops (like UNIQUE). Useful for items that should feel earned without being locked to a specific boss's drop table.
• [Fix] Armor attribute per-slot dedup on MC 1.21+ — attribute modifiers dedupe by NamespacedKey alone (slot is not part of the dedup key), so all four armor pieces sharing the keys "elite_armor", "elite_toughness", "elite_knockback_resist" meant only one piece's modifiers actually applied. Each slot now gets a "_head"/"_chest"/"_legs"/"_feet" suffix so all four armor pieces stack their stats correctly.
• [Fix] Loud admin warning when a player takes WORLD_BORDER damage inside an EM dungeon instance — the symptom is "dungeon closes the moment players walk in" because the border tick deals lethal damage which cascades into removePlayer → defeat → removeInstance. Almost always means the dungeon's blueprint world is missing its world-border data, or the border didn't carry over when the world was cloned (on Paper 1.21.6+ the border lives in its own file inside the dimension data folder, easy to miss).
• [Fix] ScriptZone now cancels its listener task when a shape's center loses its world (e.g. a referenced entity got despawned mid-tick) — previously filterByElite/Player/Living would log "World is null" once per shape per tick forever and the script kept ticking with no work to do.
• [Fix] VersionChecker / Nightbreak content access prefetch now bail fast on plugin shutdown — onDisable previously had to wait for in-flight HTTP timeouts (up to 10s each, potentially across many packages) and Bukkit would nag about async tasks not properly shutting down. Every loop iteration and HTTP callback now checks MetadataHandler.shutdownRequested and returns immediately.
• [Fix] Wormholes no longer accumulate orphan line entities across the away-period — when no players are within the 30-block nearby radius the line visuals are now torn down via the new WormholeEntry.onNoNearbyPlayers() hook instead of silently lingering, and a fresh set is recreated when a player walks back.
• [Tweak] EliteItemManager.isOnLastDamage(ItemStack) is now a single public static API, replacing two private duplicates (one in AlternativeDurabilityLoss, one in PlayerItem).

EliteMobs 10.2.0:

• [New] Anti-autoclicker throttle — players who land more than autoclickerThrottleMaxHitsPerSecond (default 5) genuine melee hits on elites within a one-second sliding window are locked out of dealing damage to elites for autoclickerThrottlePenaltySeconds (default 5) and warned in chat. Only ENTITY_ATTACK swings count, so sweep secondaries, thorns, and projectiles don't false-positive. Configurable via autoclickerThrottleEnabled, autoclickerThrottleMaxHitsPerSecond, autoclickerThrottlePenaltySeconds, and autoclickerThrottleMessage in MobCombatSettings.yml.
• [New] Per-skill internal proc cooldowns — ProcSkill now exposes getInternalCooldownMillis() so burst-damage procs can't be spammed by autoclickers faster than their intended cadence. Devastating Blow uses a 1.5s internal cooldown as the first consumer.
• [New] Notification throttler — currency pickups, "no XP" warnings, and quest-progression messages are now batched and flushed once after a quiet period instead of flooding chat. Tunable via the new notificationThrottleSeconds key in DefaultConfig (default 10s, minimum 1s). Currency action-bar feedback still updates live; only the chat summary is debounced.
• [New] Elytra prevention in EliteMobs worlds — players are stopped from gliding inside any EliteMobs content world via EntityToggleGlideEvent, PlayerChangedWorldEvent, and a per-tick PlayerMoveEvent backstop (necessary because cancelling the toggle event no longer reliably stops gliding client-side on 1.21.6+). Per-package opt-out via the new allowElytra config field on ContentPackagesConfigFields.
• [New] EMDungeonLocator API — registered with MagmaCore's LocationQueryRegistry and (when present) bridged into FreeMinecraftModels' LocationAPI under the "EliteMobs" key so cross-plugin scripts can ask "is this location inside EliteMobs content?" with an O(1) world-name lookup. Covers every WorldPackage subclass (open-world, instanced, dynamic, hub).
• [New] Lua entity enricher — every Lua entity table now carries is_elite, is_custom_boss, is_significant_boss flags and an elite sub-table with level, name, health, max_health, health_multiplier, damage_multiplier, and a remove() method; when FreeMinecraftModels is present, is_modeled, is_prop, and a model sub-table (model_id, play_animation, stop_animations, remove, is_dynamic) are also exposed.
• [New] Boss global cooldown store for Lua scripts — ScriptableBoss now exposes a per-EliteEntity cooldown map via getGlobalCooldownStore() so Lua-scripted bosses can share cooldown state across hooks and instances of the same boss.
• [New] Arena quest scoreboard line — new arenaQuestScoreboardProgressionMessage key in Quests.yml and an $arenaName placeholder for arena objectives in CustomQuestMenu summary lines, both resolving the arena's display name from CustomArenasConfig with a filename fallback.
• [New] hideEnchants config option — new key in ItemSettings.yml (default true). When set to false, vanilla enchantment lines are shown on EliteMobs items, setup-menu icons, constructed elite items, and scroll-converted items instead of being hidden by ItemFlag.HIDE_ENCHANTS. (Contributed by Jeric.)
• [New] playersSayMessage config option for the Summon Merchant enchantment — when false, summoning the merchant no longer makes the player /chat the configured message (default true preserves prior behavior).
• [Fix] Quarantined Paper 26.1+ world migration debris before loading dungeon worlds. When a previous Paper migration left both the legacy folder and the modern /dimensions/minecraft/ folder populated, Bukkit.createWorld would throw "Refusing to overwrite existing migrated file" and the dungeon world would never load. The legacy folder is now renamed aside as .paper-migration-backup- so Paper sees no legacy trigger and loads cleanly from the modern path.
• [Fix] Routed all world filesystem access through MagmaCore's new WorldFolderResolver — isDownloaded checks, wormhole-world existence checks, instanced-world cleanup loops, blueprint-clone destination wiping, and unique-world-name picking all now look at both legacy and Paper-26.1+ modern layouts. No-op on Spigot and pre-26.1 Paper.
• [Fix] Fixed The Palace Sanctum's dungeonObjectives default missing the "filename=" prefix — the entry was a bare "the_palace_old_stone_king_p1.yml" instead of "filename=the_palace_old_stone_king_p1.yml", causing DungeonObjective.registerObjective to return null, the null to be added to the dungeon's objective list, and /em quit to NPE inside ArrayList.forEach during instance teardown. Existing servers with the bad value already on disk are auto-corrected at load time.
• [Fix] Fixed /em quit throwing NullPointerException when a dungeon has no objectives configured or has malformed objective entries — DungeonInstance now null-checks rawDungeonObjectives before iterating, logs a warning when registerObjective returns null instead of adding the null to the list, and the unregister forEach skips null entries defensively.
• [Fix] Backward-compat for legacy dungeonObjectives entries — entries that end in ".yml" without a "filename=" prefix are now auto-treated as filename= entries instead of being silently dropped, so existing servers with the old (typo'd) format keep working.
• [Fix] Wormhole line visuals are now torn down when no players are within the wormhole's nearby radius. Previously the line BlockDisplays stayed in the world while the wormhole was idle, and any event during the away period that re-instantiated the WormholeEntry (config reload, content pack install/uninstall, /em setup flow) would create a fresh in-memory line list while the old BlockDisplays remained — producing the "AG wormhole multiplying, only one animated, the rest frozen in place" symptom. Lines now rebuild cleanly on the next tick a player walks back into range.
• [Fix] Fixed runaway "World is null in filterByElite/Player/Living" warnings that fired once per shape per tick when a script zone's shape center lost its world (typically a referenced entity getting despawned mid-tick). The ZoneListenerTask now detects the null-world state and cancels itself with a single warning naming the boss, instead of looping forever doing no work.
• [Fix] Fixed quest-progression chat messages flooding when objectives update in rapid succession — they're routed through MessageThrottler keyed per objective, so concurrent quests don't clobber each other.
• [Fix] Fixed currency-pickup chat messages spamming during loot showers — pickups are summed and emitted as a single chat line after the configured quiet period, while the action bar still ticks live.
• [Fix] Fixed "no XP" level-difference warnings flooding chat when farming low-level mobs — repeated identical warnings now collapse to one message with a "(xN)" suffix, while the capped-XP variant still sends immediately.
• [Fix] Fixed gliding desync in protected EM worlds on 1.21.6+ — added a PlayerMoveEvent backstop that re-asserts setGliding(false) every tick because cancelling EntityToggleGlideEvent does not reliably stop the client.
• [Fix] Fixed dungeonLockoutMinutes config field not being written to disk on first generation — the processInt call now passes write=true so default values persist for editing.
• [Fix] Fixed scripted-item application breaking when FMM was a different version than expected — replaced reflection-based ScriptedItemAPI invocation in ItemConstructor with a direct API call wrapped in NoClassDefFoundError handling, so missing classes degrade gracefully and successful applications skip reflection overhead.
• [Fix] Fixed FreeMinecraftModels dungeon bridging being silently skipped on older FMM jars — the bootstrap now logs a clear warning when LocationAPI is missing (FMM < 2.5.0) so server owners know is_in_dungeon won't see EliteMobs dungeons.
• [Tweak] Temporary block management moved out of EntityTracker into MagmaCore's TemporaryBlockManager so the state is shared across plugins; addTemporaryBlock/isTemporaryBlock/removeTemporaryBlock now delegate, world-unload cleanup is handled by MagmaCore, and the Lua spawn_temporary_block helper goes through TemporaryBlockManager directly with a single requireAir flag.
• [Tweak] FreeMinecraftModels dependency upgraded to 2.5.0 to pick up LocationAPI and the new ScriptedItemAPI signature.
• [Tweak] Removed the silent Math.max(damage, 1) floor on outgoing player-to-elite damage — the multiplier pipeline now respects the real input damage (so true-zero damage hits like sweep secondaries no longer get clamped up to 1) before damageModifier and combatMultiplier are applied.
• [Tweak] Premade dungeon display names prefixed with "&2[Dynamic] &3" — Craftenmines Lab Sanctum, The Bridge Sanctum, The Cave Sanctum, The City Dungeon, The Climb Dungeon, The Deep Mines Dungeon, The Mines Dungeon, The Nether Bell Sanctum, The Nether Wastes Dungeon, The Palace Sanctum, and The Quarry Dungeon now self-identify as dynamic dungeons in setup menus.
• [Tweak] ItemLootShower internal cleanup — dropped the playerCurrencyPickup HashMap, BukkitRunnable poller, sendCurrencyNotification, and sendAdventurersGuildNotification helpers in favor of MessageThrottler.pushCurrency, which now drives both the chat summary and the adventurer's guild action-bar.
• [Tweak] Updated MagmaCore dependency to 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT for the new WorldFolderResolver utility.

EliteMobs 10.1.1:

• [Hotfix] Removed some debug messages left in by mistake

● EliteMobs 10.1.0:

• [New] Updated for Minecraft 26.1.
• [New] Boss XP multiplier — bosses now reward bonus XP based on their health and damage multipliers. A 10x HP boss gives ~14x XP, a 25x HP boss gives ~49x XP. Reinforcement mobs with low multipliers give proportionally less.
• [New] XP progression rebalanced — XP required per level reduced from 20L³ to 8.5L³, bringing the level 1-100 grind from ~1,650 hours of pure mob farming to ~300 hours of dungeon running.
• [New] Peace Banner — craftable item that creates a chunk-based peaceful zone where elite mobs and events don't spawn. Configurable chunk radius (default 4), any player can place or break them, data persists across restarts. Replaces the old guild-based opt-out system.
• [New] Peace Banner admin commands — /em peacebanner give , /em peacebanner list.
• [New] Peace Banner crafting recipe — surround any banner with bones. Recipe is configurable and can be disabled by admins.
• [New] FMM scripted item integration — EliteMobs custom items can now reference FMM scripted items, bridging the two item systems.
• [New] Free Goblins Events Pack content package.
• [New] Lua API: player boss bars, action bars, and titles with tick-based auto-dismiss.
• [New] Lua API: raycast, spawn_firework, get_target_entity, get_eye_location, get_look_direction.
• [New] Lua API: send_block_change and reset_block with optional auto-reset timer.
• [New] Lua API: get_highest_block_y for terrain queries.
• [New] Lua API: player:sleep() and player:wake_up() endpoints.
• [New] Lua entity bridge — scripts can now check is_elite, is_custom_boss, is_significant_boss, health_multiplier, and damage_multiplier on any entity.
• [Fix] Boss bars no longer flicker or disappear when health ratio goes slightly out of bounds from dynamic level scaling.
• [Fix] Fixed Nightbreak token "Invalid token format" errors caused by whitespace in copy-pasted tokens.
• [Fix] Fixed compatibility with Minecraft 26.1 — replaced removed SnakeYAML Base64Coder with java.util.Base64.
• [Fix] Fixed timed events ignoring their configured globalCooldown — the event system was overriding it with a hardcoded 5-minute cooldown after each event spawned, causing events to fire far more frequently than intended.
• [Fix] Fixed content download crashing with "Missing protocol in URI" when a content pack had no download link or Nightbreak slug — now shows a friendly error message instead.
• [Fix] Fixed Free Goblins Events Pack missing its Nightbreak slug, preventing downloads and version checking from the setup menu.
• [Fix] Fixed Free Goblins Events Pack not being recognized as default content, causing version update checks to silently skip it.
• [Fix] Fixed version checker skipping update notifications for content packs that use the simple constructor — packs with a Nightbreak slug are now always version-checked regardless of constructor type.
