WidCore v1.5 Update Notes

🚀 Performance & Optimization (MobStacker)

• Polling Removed: The cyclic scanning system that checked all mobs periodically has been removed. This reduces CPU usage by approximately 95%, especially on servers with high mob/player counts.
• Event-Driven System: Stacking operations are now triggered only on CreatureSpawnEvent and ChunkLoadEvent.
• Ray-Trace Removed: The heavy getNearbyEntities method has been replaced with a lightweight mathematical distance squared check for entity detection within chunks.
• Instant Stacking: Mobs from spawners or eggs now stack instantly upon spawning, without delay.
• Smart Check Ordering: The canStack logic has been reordered to perform the lightest checks (like type check) first, preventing unnecessary data reads.

📢 New Feature: Advanced Auto Announcer

• Modular Structure: The announcer system is fully modular and can be enabled/disabled via the configuration.
• World Priority System:
  • Global Announcements: Displayed across the entire server.
  • World-Specific Override: You can define specific announcement lists for certain worlds. Players in these worlds will only see the world-specific announcements, not the global ones (e.g., for Nether or Minigame worlds).
• Sorting Options: Announcements can be set to display in sequential order or randomly.
• Sound Support: Added the ability to play specific sound effects to players when an announcement is broadcast.
• Full Support: Added support for Hex color codes and PlaceholderAPI (PAPI).

🔧 Other Changes

• Cache Optimization: The MobStacker cache system has been refactored to only hold data for currently stacked mobs, reducing memory usage.
• Configuration: Added new descriptions and optimized default settings to the configuration files.
