GenSprout

Generator Economy and Progression Rebalance

• 50 Generator Tiers: Expanded generator tiers from 25 to 50 tiers; each configured with unique block materials, drop items, display names, and drop names.
• 25-Hour Progression Timeline: Balanced generator purchase prices and drop value curves across starter, mid-game, and endgame phases targeting ~25 hours of active gameplay to reach tier 50.
• Master Sell Wand: Added Tier 2 Master Sell Wand (15,000 Essence cost, 2.5x sell multiplier) alongside Tier 1 Sell Wand (1,500 Essence cost, 1.5x sell multiplier).
• Scaling Essence Generator Slots: Rebalanced Essence generator slot purchases with scaling formula 300 + (current_slots * 150) up to a cap of 25 slots.
• Generator Item Protection: Blocked placeable generator items from being sold via /sell, Sell Wands, or auto-sell routines.

Multi-Language and Localization Support

• Multi-Language Bundles: Added full translation support for English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese.
• Automatic Client Locale Matching: Detects and applies player language settings based on Minecraft client locale.
• Global Server Language Option: Added global configuration option to enforce a single server-wide language.
• Live Inventory Locale Updates: Automatically updates item names and lore in player inventories when switching client languages.
• Sprite and Formatting Fixes: Standardized tool item texture namespace tags and dual placeholder tags (<tag> and {brace}) across all language bundles.
• Configurable Server Discord Link: Added default server.discord setting in config.yml configured to https://discord.gg/bJjyy8q9wb.
• Deployment Config Synchronization: Added direct upload of config.yml to /plugins/GenSprout/config.yml during remote deployment.

Farming Mechanics and Sprout Hoe Enchants

• Per-Player Instanced Farms: Shared farm regions are instanced per player. Harvesting a crop triggers regrowth for that specific player while remaining harvestable for others.
• Reach Enchantment: Added Reach hoe enchantment (levels 1-5), extending block interaction range via Paper attribute modifiers.
• Crop-Only Auto-Sell: Added Auto-Sell hoe enchantment (5,000 Essence cost) for instant crop selling on harvest.
• 500-Level Hoe Enchants: Expanded XP Booster, Essence Finder, and Crop Doubler maximum levels to 500 with dynamic level-selection sliders.
• Easier Essence Drops: Increased base Essence drop rates and yield during harvesting.

UI, Scoreboard, and Tablist Enhancements

• Paper Dialog Shop Redesign: Reorganized /shop with categories for Generators, starter Diamond tools, and Netherite tools with Efficiency V.
• Interactive First-Join Guide: Converted starter tutorial into an interactive guide covering farming, hoe upgrades, generator production, offline earnings, and key commands.
• Scoreboard & Tablist Card Redesign: Implemented modern sectioned card scoreboards (PLAYER and ECONOMY), rich tablist entries displaying rank prefixes ({player_prefix}), farming level, and expanded prestige level (Lvl {level} • Prestige {prestige} instead of P0), and removed file-version auto-backup logic from LanguageManager.
• Full Cube Block Generators: Ensured 100% of generator block types use solid 1x1x1 full cube blocks, replacing non-full models (Sculk Shrieker, Heavy Core, Vault, End Portal Frame, Conduit, Enchanting Table, Dragon Egg, Beacon) with full blocks (SCULK, POLISHED_TUFF, CHISELED_TUFF_BRICKS, END_STONE, DARK_PRISMARINE, BOOKSHELF, BLACK_CONCRETE, CYAN_CONCRETE).
• Tier 45 Generator Material Fix: Corrected tier 45 block-type material from invalid CHISELED_END_STONE_BRICKS to END_STONE in config.yml and added Material.matchMaterial fallback handling in GeneratorManager.
• Universal /help Override: Overrode Bukkit and vanilla /help commands to present GenSprout's starter guide dialog.

Generator Protection and Anti-Lag Guards

• Online-Only Generation: Generators spawn live item drops while the owner is online. Offline generation processes at a 20% calculation rate on login.
• Complete Drop and Block Protection: Protected generator blocks against unauthorized breaks, upgrades, piston movement, explosions, liquid flow, and block overwrites while preventing unauthorized drop pickups.
• Hopper Pickup Compatibility: Allowed hoppers to pick up generator drops while preserving ownership protection against unauthorized players.
• Disable Hunger Option: Added disable-hunger: true configuration setting to maintain full saturation at all times.
• Isolated Data Folder: Moved player profiles, generator locations, and farm regions to plugins/GenSproutData/ to prevent loss during configuration resets.
