New Features

Internationalization (i18n)

The plugin now speaks your language! The system automatically detects the client language of each player.

• Multi-Language Support: Included 12 default language files (including English, German, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese).
• Automatic Detection: The plugin reads the player's locale and delivers the appropriate message from the languages/ folder.
• Color Formatting: Supports standard Minecraft color codes (&) directly in the YAML files.
• Unicode Ready: Optimized file loading using UTF-8 to support Cyrillic, Asian, and other non-Latin characters.

Gamemode: Football (Deep Configuration)

The setup process for Football has been significantly extended to provide full control over the match behavior.

• Block Physics: New steps to allow or deny block breaking and placing during matches (yes/no).
• Advanced Match Rules: * Ball Management: Define how many balls should spawn sequentially.
  • Time Management: Custom game duration (minimum 10 seconds).
  • Win Conditions: Define a goal limit for an instant win or rely purely on time.
• Pre-Game Logic: Adjustable countdown timer before the match starts.

Command: /deletegame

A new command to safely manage your server's arenas.

• Automatic Cleanup: Deleting an arena now automatically cancels any active setup sessions for that specific arena.
• Config Sync: Seamlessly removes all arena data from the arenas.yml and saves the changes instantly.

Technical Changes

• LanguageManager Integration: Centralized message handling, replacing hardcoded strings with a key-based lookup system.
• Constructor Injection: Updated all commands and listeners to receive the LanguageManager instance, ensuring a clean and efficient data flow.
• UTF-8 InputStream: Switched to a robust file reading method to prevent encoding issues across different operating systems.

---

Bugfixes

• Hardcoded Strings: Fixed the "placeholder vs. text" issue where raw keys were displayed in the chat instead of actual translations.
• Console Locale Errors: Implemented a fallback system for the console and non-player senders to prevent "null" messages.
• Resource Leaks: Ensured that language files are correctly exported from the JAR to the plugin folder on first run.

SulfurFun Version 0.0.1-Experimental

This update introduces a modular framework for gamemodes and a smart validation system for player inputs. The setup process is now more robust, flexible, and ready for future expansions.

---

Summary

• Modular Gamemode System: Introduced an interface-based architecture to easily add new game types.
• Smart Input Validation: Implemented Regex patterns to verify chat inputs and prevent crashes.
• Unified Data Handling: Enhanced the system to automatically distinguish and store Locations, Integers, and Strings.
• Improved Setup Logic: Refined the interactive tutorial with precise instructions and new gameplay parameters.

New Features

Gamemode: Football (Updated)

The Football setup has been expanded to allow for more customized match rules and more accurate arena definitions.

• Precision Goals: Clearer instructions to define 3D goal zones by selecting diagonal opposite corners.
• Team Scaling: New setup step to define the maximum number of players per team (1 to infinity).
• Rule Toggle: Added a specific check to enable or disable ball interaction with hands (yes/no).

Command: /newgame

The command is now dynamic and supports the new modular backend.

• Validation: The system now checks if the entered gamemode exists before starting the tutorial.
• Input Protection: During the chat phase, the plugin validates your input. If you type a non-number where a number is expected, it will provide immediate feedback.
• Type Safety: All data is now correctly parsed. Numbers are saved as actual integers in the YAML config, preventing formatting errors.

Modular Framework

The core logic has been separated from the specific gamemode, making the plugin future-proof.

• Extensibility: New gamemodes can be added by simply implementing the GameSetup interface.
• Dynamic Sessions: The SetupListener now automatically adapts its behavior (Click vs. Chat) based on the requirements of the chosen gamemode.

---

Bugfixes

• Number Overflow: Fixed a critical error where entering extremely large numbers in chat would crash the setup session.
• Silent Failures: Fixed an issue where entering an invalid gamemode would provide no feedback to the player.
• Session Management: Improved cleanup to ensure that disconnected players are correctly removed from active setup sessions.

SulfurFun Version 0.0.0-Experimental

This is the first release of SulfurFun. This version establishes the core system for arena management, specifically designed for the Football gamemode.

---

Summary

• Added the /newgame and /deletegame commands.
• Implemented the core setup logic for the Football gamemode.
• Integrated YAML-based storage for arena configurations.

---

New Features

Gamemode: Football

Currently, the plugin focuses exclusively on the Football gamemode. It allows you to define all necessary points for a match to function.

• Goal Definition: Set up 3D scoring zones for both the Blue and Red teams.
• Spawn Locations: Define specific coordinates for team spawns and the ball's starting position.

Command: /newgame football

This command starts an interactive tutorial to create a new arena.

• How to use: After entering the command, follow the instructions in the chat.
• Tutorial: You will be prompted to right-click specific blocks to save coordinates. At the final step, you define the player limit by typing the number directly into the chat.

Command: /deletegame

Allows you to completely remove an existing arena.

• Function: This deletes the arena entry from the config and cancels any ongoing setup sessions for that specific name.
