New Forgeries - Mageblade

Features a new seperate forging entry for swords revolving around three distinct swords gaining a small elemental damage mechanic.

• Fireblade: Acts like +1 level to fire aspect, burning targets even longer, when hitting a target already on fire, deal bonus fire damage and nearby targets are either lit or also take the bonus damage. Trades dps numbers for sustained fire damage and AoE burst potential.
• Iceblade: Each hit applies freezing to the target until it is completely frozen like trapped in powder snow. While it comes with low attack speed, the freeze can be powerful to stop opponents in their path.
• Poisonblade: Every hit applies a short burst of Poison II. While this is rendered ineffective when dealing against undead it can be quite handy in PvP or against certain targets to deal sustained damage.

New Event - Piglin Pirates

In order to live up the nether a bit more, a second nether event has been introduced. The Pirates consist of a captain wielding a Fireblade he will drop and numerous crossbow-armed piglins who may ride on speed-enhanced striders. Of course the piglins got some loot bundles on them.

New Evolutions

While the Fireblade got its own event, the other 2 blades are obtained via rare evolutions who may drop them, similar to going trident hunting (but better chances).

The Iceblade is carried by the Frozen Knight which is a unique melee stray appearing sometimes.

The Poisonblade is carried by the Jungle Zombie, a unique zombie evolution only spawning in jungles, which is very quick on its feet.

Improvements

• Added an UpdateChecker which at the startup of the plugin requests the newest version from Modrinth and if one exists, provides a message and link in the console
• In order to make horses and their hoof plates more interesting, a Wandering Smith now may sell hoof plates enchanted with Feather Falling and/or Frost Walker! Additionally, they now also sell diamond horse armor.
• Another thing long overdue, is the ability to duplicate forgery templates, now every template is able to be duplicated similar to smithing templates but with a cheaper recipe of 1 diamond, 4 iron, 3 lapis and the forgery upgrade itself.
• As an additional balance change, the Enchanted Totem of Undying was rempoved as option for the Forest Spirit to spawn with, they should retain their enchanted golden apple similarities and are now only sold by the Wandering Druid.

Various Fixes

• Fixed the event timer resetting to 1 minute if a player has gone AFK, instead of doing this only when an event could actually be triggered already.
• Adjusted nether events to only spawn at light level 7 or below.
• Events no longer spawn when gamerule doMobsSpawn is disabled
• Fixed an issue where using the lance or scythe could lead to NullExceptions in the console
• Fixed a bug where dropping items out of your inventory while holding a lance would repeatedly trigger the lance attack. Adjusted this so it still fires the lance attack but now comes with the actual cooldown.
• Fixed an issue where when placing a Silence Shrieker the item was not actually consumed, leading to duplication.
