Ultimate PinataParty 1.3.0

Released on November 2, 2026.

Version 1.3.0 expands the piñata appearance system with optional MythicMobs, BetterModel, and ModelEngine integrations. Event rules, progress, and rewards remain controlled by Ultimate PinataParty while the entity and visual model can now be selected independently.

Added

• MythicMobs entity support through mythicmobs:<mob> references.
• BetterModel visual support through bettermodel:<model> references.
• ModelEngine visual support through modelengine:<model> references.
• Independent entity-source and model-source settings under event.appearance.
• Configurable spawn, hit, complete, and expire model animations.
• MythicMobs lifecycle signals:
  • PINATASPAWN
  • PINATAHIT
  • PINATACOMPLETE
  • PINATAEXPIRE
• A configurable vanilla fallback when an optional provider, mob, or model is unavailable.
• Configurable delayed cleanup so completion and expiration animations can finish before the entity is removed.
• /pinataadmin providers output for checking the configured sources and available integrations.
• English and Spanish messages for unavailable entity sources, unavailable model sources, and provider status.
• Complete English and Spanish setup guides for MythicMobs and ModelEngine.

Improved

• Entity creation now uses a provider registry instead of depending directly on a single Bukkit entity type.
• Model handling is isolated behind optional adapters, keeping MythicMobs, BetterModel, and ModelEngine outside the event domain.
• Models and entities are cleaned up together when an event completes, expires, is stopped, or the plugin is disabled.
• Hit and completion signals can pass the responsible player to MythicMobs as the trigger.
• Provider failures are reported without preventing Ultimate PinataParty from loading.
• The public Modrinth and Spigot descriptions now document supported references, lifecycle hooks, model ownership, fallback behavior, and resource-pack requirements.

Configuration and validation

• Added validation for entity references, model references, living vanilla entity types, provider IDs, cleanup delay, and MythicMobs signal names.
• MythicMobs signal names must contain only letters and numbers and may contain up to 64 characters.
• cleanup-delay-ticks accepts values from 0 to 200.
• Invalid appearance settings are rejected by /pinataadmin validate and transactional reloads do not replace the active configuration.
