Simple Combat v1.3 — Changelog

Console Banner Redesign

• Switched the ASCII banner font to standard FIGlet (6 lines height) with consistent spacing and alignment across all console environments.
• Reformatted the status block with single-space indentation to match the clean layout structure.
• Simplified the platform status line to output only the detected server software name (e.g., Paper, Purpur, Folia, Spigot).
• Removed the redundant pre-banner language initialization message to maintain a clean startup log.

Memory & Allocation Optimizations

• Implemented a pre-cached array (FAST_TIME) for integer strings 0 through 120 in LanguageManager, completely eliminating heap allocations from Integer.toString() during the per-second combat countdown ticker.
• Optimized placeholder replacement in getBossBarTitle: substring lookup via indexOf now prevents redundant string copies when {opponent} is not present in the configured message template.
• Added a fast path to ActionBarDisplayAdapter.escapeJson that bypasses string replacement operations when no escape characters (\ or ") exist.

Event Handling & Performance

• Optimized PlayerTeleportEvent: added early exit via !combatManager.isInCombat(player) before evaluating teleport cause strings or querying player permissions, significantly reducing server overhead on high-population servers.
• Added early exit in EntityDamageByEntityEvent when the victim is already dead or has zero health.
• Converted AreaEffectCloud.getSource() dynamic reflection to java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle for direct JIT invocation without reflection overhead.

State Management & Bug Fixes

• Resolved BossBar persistence: CombatManager.removeAll() now explicitly detaches and removes active BossBars from all online players during configuration reload or plugin disable.
• Added player membership verification in BossBarDisplayAdapter.show (bar.getPlayers().contains(player)) to prevent BossBar desynchronization across world transitions or respawns.
• Prevented redundant packet dispatch in BossBarDisplayAdapter.update: the BossBar title is only updated when the formatted string has actually changed.
• Added an overloaded CombatManager.tagCombat(Player, Player, int) method to prevent double session initialization during manual /simplecombat tag execution.
