Patch 2.4.9

Fixed compatibility issue with 1.21.4 (Leaf/Paper) with SPELL_MOB

Fixed button overlapping errors in the menu (config.yml)

Load optimization in Placeholders (Red Zone in the profiler) has been performed.

New mechanics have also been added, balance has been adjusted, and animations have been modified for compatibility with new versions of the game starting from 1.21.11 and later.

The placeholder system—which displays animations when an animal wants to drink or eat—has been completely reworked from scratch.

The configuration options have been refined, and new messages have been added for improved customization.

Disease System Implementation Now, if an animal falls ill, a prefix will appear above it:

Plaintext [! Sick] Cow [Lvl 3]

The indicator works even if the standard nameplate is hidden by level settings or the show_only_after_rename option.

How the Disease Works Diseases are configured in the config.yml file:

YAML disease_system: enabled: true check_interval: 1200 chance_per_tick: 0.01 damage: 1 sound: ENTITY_ZOMBIE_VILLAGER_CURE cure_item: GOLDEN_APPLE indicator: enabled: true force_visible: true format: "&#F08080[! Sick]"

The logic is as follows:

Every check_interval ticks, the plugin checks active animals.

If an animal is healthy, it has a chance_per_tick probability of getting sick.

If an animal's hunger == 0 or thirst == 0, the chance of contracting a disease is doubled.

If an animal is already sick, it takes damage amount of damage during each disease-check.

Sick animals do not produce resources.

How to Cure Animals The player must use the item specified in the config:

YAML disease_system: cure_item: GOLDEN_APPLE

(By default, this is a GOLDEN_APPLE)

Curing process:

The player holds the Golden Apple in their hand.

Right-clicks (RMB) on the sick animal.

The disease is cured.

The item is consumed (unless the player is in Creative mode).

The display above the animal updates, and the indicator disappears.

The data is saved immediately. Additional Features Added GUI Update: The health status is now visible in the GUI:

Health: Sick / Healthy

Cure Item: golden apple

New Placeholder: Added the {disease} placeholder to entity_display.format:

YAML entity_display: format: "{disease} &#F4A460{name} &#FFD700{level} &#DDA0DD{bond}"

• Fix MySQL
• Fix Barrel holog/......

Changelog

Fixed a chat formatting bug where mounting an animal could show raw hex color codes instead of the colored animal name. Fixed GUI title color inheritance so changing the animal name color no longer recolors surrounding brackets or the rest of the menu title. Fixed sheep resource collection on newer Minecraft versions so sheep now give wool correctly instead of invalid fallback items. Added proper sheep wool color support, so collected wool now matches the sheep's actual color. Fixed sheep dye interaction so the plugin no longer blocks vanilla dye usage on sheep. Fixed the Feeding Station GUI so menu items stay static and can no longer be taken into the player's inventory after clicking. Reworked the Feeding Station system with a more detailed GUI, better station status display, improved lore text, dynamic information placeholders, and cleaner hologram updates. Improved Feeding Station performance by caching food configuration data and removing unnecessary repeated message file reads during GUI generation. Improved Feeding Station visuals with better particle behavior, cleaner radius previews, and more polished station presentation. Reduced console spam by cleaning up noisy startup/shutdown logs and replacing broken genetics banner text with cleaner messages. Moved less important support/debug information to debug-style behavior so the console stays cleaner in normal use. Improved build configuration to support lighter packaging profiles for database drivers, making it easier to create smaller jar builds without breaking the default setup.
