Minions

Changelog — 2.0.0

Added

• Energy system — minions require energy and stop at zero; drain is per action (globally and per-type configurable)
• Feeding: right-click with configurable foods (+10 energy each by default), or money-recharge button in the menu (prorated, price configurable)
• Feeder minion — new minion category that feeds all minions in its radius from a linked chest
• Chest linking for every minion (miners deposit, feeders withdraw) — link by clicking or placing a chest; unlink and rotate buttons in the menu
• Money economy via Vault (EssentialsX-compatible): shop, energy refills, level upgrades
• /minion shop — buy minions with money; prices per type
• /minion admin — in-game live editor for settings, plus:
  • Minion type builder — create/edit/delete whole minion types in game: head (any block, or player-head skins), output, work block, tool, speed, amount, category, shop price
  • Shop price editor — adjust or unlist any minion's price with clicks
  • GUI layout editor — rearrange the plugin's menus: move buttons, filler glass, rows, titles (guis.yml)
• Skyblock limits — per-island cap via SuperiorSkyblock2, radius-based area cap fallback, per-player per-category caps with permission overrides for ranks
• messages.yml — every string externalized, translatable, hex-color support
• Look-based nametags — names render only while a player looks at the minion (configurable range / always-on toggle)
• Color-coded energy bolt in nametags (green / yellow / red)
• Per-type config knobs: head (block heads), enabled (disable without deleting), energy-per-action override; configurable action sound + volume + pitch

Changed

• Tiers I–XI replaced by Levels 1–3 (extendable in config); upgrades now cost money instead of items; level scales energy cap, mining field radius (3×3/5×5/7×7), speed, and storage
• Mining field size now grows with level instead of being fixed 5×5
• Feeder menu redesigned as a compact 3-row layout; admin hub reorganized with a toolbar
• config.yml fully reorganized: table of contents, nine documented sections
• Minion items are no longer required to be player heads (supports block-headed custom types)

Fixed

• Player inventory no longer locks up while plugin GUIs are open
• Chest link mode no longer blocks placing a chest
• Nametags heal stale text (old tier names, uncolored bolts) on every server start

Migration from 1.0.0

Automatic. Old saves and items convert (tiers 1–4 → level 1, 5–8 → 2, 9–11 → 3, energy starts full, leftover blaze-powder fuel returned to storage), and existing config.yml files get the new sections merged in without touching your edits.
