ArenaLegends 26.5.27.1303

• Descriptions & Readability
  • Improved mythic weapon descriptions to immediately highlight key bonuses and drawbacks.
  • Stat descriptions are now more readable and consistent across all mythics.
  • Unified naming conventions for mythic enchant books for better category consistency.
• New Tier Items (Gold-based)
  • Gold Pouch — grants 1,000 gold.
  • Gold Bag — grants 2,000 gold.
  • Gold Cache — grants 3,000 gold.
• New Mythic Weapons (Bonus/Drawback Mechanic)
  • Doombringer
  • Duelist's Blade
  • Brickwall
  • Vault Breaker
  • Stormcaller
• New Mythic Potion
  • Super Absorption
• New Mythic Enchants
  • Added new enchants for swords and bows:
    • Fire — for swords.
    • Knockback — for bows.
    • Ignite — for bows.

• Tier System
  • Augment tiers are now defined centrally in game.yml, with unified names and colors in a single location.
  • Augment color is now derived automatically from its assigned tier — no longer needs to be set individually per augment.
  • augments.yml has been simplified by removing redundant per-augment color entries.
• Custom Game Integration
  • Augment tiers in round editing can now be selected from a menu instead of typed manually.
  • This makes round configuration simpler and less prone to typos.
• New Augment
  • Hunter's Aim (Prismatic): After a projectile is fired, if it is still in flight after 1 second, it automatically homes in on the nearest enemy player. Homing only alters the projectile's direction — it does not increase its power or damage. Uses icon 184.

• Added pagination to leaderboards — a single hologram can now display multiple statistics and cycle between them on click.
• Redesigned the leaderboard layout for improved readability. Each page now shows a refresh countdown, the top player list, the active tab, and a click hint.
• Unified SOLO, TEAMS, and ALL MODES leaderboards to share the same style and be easier to configure.
• Added new stat pages for RATING, WINS, KILLS, and TAKEDOWNS where applicable.
• Fixed page switching on click — clicking a hologram now correctly changes the active page.
• Fixed click-through behavior — holograms no longer block interaction with blocks placed behind them.
• Fixed TAKEDOWNS display in ALL MODES — values are now calculated correctly.

• Tab Completion Improvements
  • Command suggestions are now cleaner and more consistent.
  • A clear message is now shown when a command is ready to execute.
  • The system more clearly indicates when a value still needs to be provided.
  • Optional arguments are now communicated in a simpler, more intuitive way.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue with commands requiring free-text input (e.g., private game invite codes).
  • /al joincustom now correctly prompts for an invite-code again.
  • Fixed argument name display in suggestions to be more descriptive and understandable.
  • General command system cleanup for more consistent behavior in future commands.

• Reorganized the game settings and custom game system for more consistent and predictable configuration.
• Fixed custom game editing — team and round settings are now properly tied to actual game rules.
• Improved the custom round system, making custom round modifications more reliable and easier to understand.
• Cleaned up player modifier handling — adding gold, rerolls, augments, anvils, and mythics now behaves more consistently.
• Fixed game start handling, player and team limits, and bot-related rules.
• Improved forced cameo and test mode behavior for more consistent in-game operation.
• General readability and stability improvements to the custom game system, making the plugin easier to maintain and expand.

• Rank Icons: Solo and Teams leaderboards now display each player's rank icon next to their name.
• Player-Based Placeholders: Leaderboard lines can now use placeholders tied to the specific player shown on that line, rather than just plain names and values.
• Improved Layouts: Updated the visual design of Solo and Teams leaderboard entries to be cleaner and easier to read.
• Live Refresh Timer: Replaced the static "refreshes every 30 min" label with a real countdown showing exactly when the next update is due.
• More Reliable Holograms: Improved leaderboard visibility so holograms behave more consistently when players move between worlds, switch areas, or reconnect to the server.

• Unified Damage System: Basic attacks and augment damage now share the same underlying logic, making combat behavior significantly more consistent overall.
• Melee Hit Feedback Restored: Regular melee attacks once again play the correct hit animation and sound.
• Hit-Only Effect Support: Added proper support for effects that trigger a hit without dealing actual damage, allowing certain augments to interact with on-hit systems without removing health.
• Knockback Control: Knockback is now only applied where it makes sense — it no longer affects most augments by default.
• Fixed Knockback Direction: Hits now correctly push targets away instead of pulling them toward the attacker.
• Fixed Silent Effects: Some effects that were supposed to be silent were incorrectly triggering the hurt animation — this has been resolved.
• Fixed Target Dummy Interactions: Melee testing against target dummies during the prep phase now works correctly.
• Fixed DoT Death Prevention Bypass: Certain damage-over-time effects could incorrectly bypass death-prevention augments — this has been fixed.
• Fixed Blade Waltz: Resolved a bug where Blade Waltz would sometimes fail to deal damage.
• Fixed Delayed & Chained Hit Edge Cases: Several augment issues caused by delayed hits and chained effects have been resolved, improving overall combat reliability.

• Reworked Crit Chance Scaling: Critical strike chance now works as a straightforward percentage — a value of 10 means a 10% chance, rather than behaving as a guaranteed hit. Maximum crit chance is capped at 100%.
• Flat & Percentage Bonuses: Crit chance now correctly supports both flat and percentage-based bonuses, ensuring the displayed value matches actual in-game behavior.
• Crit Damage Multiplier: Added a new Crit Damage Multiplier stat that scales the damage dealt by critical strikes.
• Crit Chance Consistency: Critical hits now work reliably across all attack types, including standard melee.

• Dimensional Travel (Prismatic): Charge up by sneaking, then blink forward — bringing nearby allies with you and sending enemies caught along your path back to your original position.
• Critical Healing (Gold): Your healing can now critically heal based on your critical strike chance. Also grants additional crit chance.
• Critical Rhythm (Gold): Critical strikes build up attack speed over time, allowing aggressive crit builds to ramp significantly during extended fights.
• Double Tap (Gold): Critical strikes trigger on-hit effects one extra time, enabling stronger on-hit combos.
• Healing Subscription (Gold): Increases all healing you receive.

• Cleaner Descriptions: Reworked a number of augment descriptions to remove unnecessary numbers from the main text, making them easier to read at a glance.
• Consistent Style: Standardized descriptions to use uniform wording, consistent trigger labels, and shorter explanations across the board.
• Readability Fixes: Corrected awkward phrasing, repeated words, and inconsistent lines so augment tooltips feel more polished in-game.

• Custom Stats as Native Attributes: Custom stats now function like standard Minecraft player attributes. This means the augment system and anvil can apply custom effects — such as crit chance or cooldown reduction — in a consistent and predictable way.
• Fixed Anvil Stat Stacking: Resolved an issue where anvil stats would stack incorrectly across rounds, accumulating values on repeated activations instead of applying cleanly.
• Unified Stat Key Naming: Internal stat keys have been standardized, making the whole system more predictable and readable.

• Fixed Flat Cooldown Reduction: Flat cooldown bonuses are now always calculated in seconds, regardless of the base cooldown duration. This ensures cooldown reductions behave consistently across both short and long abilities.

• Global Progression Settings: Added a new global configuration that lets you control when rewards and progression count, applicable across all game types.
• Custom Game Controls: Economy, statistics, and ranking can each be toggled independently for custom games.
• Bot Match Controls: Economy, statistics, and ranking can each be toggled independently for games that include bots.
• Independent Rules Per System: Each system (economy, stats, ranking) can follow its own rules — for example, rewards can count in bot matches while ranking does not.
• Cleaner Configuration: The setup now uses simple on/off toggles with clear per-context rules, replacing the previous combined-mode approach that was harder to understand.

• Custom Stats in Stat Viewer: The stat debug tools now display custom anvil stats alongside standard Minecraft attributes, rather than only showing native values.
• Simplified Custom Stat Display: The display of custom stat values has been cleaned up and made consistent throughout the interface.
• Live Stats Cleanup: Custom stats in the live stat display are now grouped the same way as standard Minecraft stats, instead of appearing as separate repeated lines.

• 1.21.11 Support: Fully updated the resource pack to support Minecraft 1.21.11 standards.
• Item Model Components: Completely migrated away from legacy numeric Custom Model Data (range_dispatch). Custom items now use the modern item_model component system for perfect isolation and zero conflicts with other resource packs.
• Namespace Cleanup: Removed the need to overwrite default Minecraft items (like diamond or paper). All custom items, models, and definitions are now safely isolated in the arenalegends namespace.
• Simplified IDs: Refactored internal item references to be much shorter and more readable (e.g., changed augment_11201001 to a clean 001 format).

• Rank Icons Update: Renamed cryptic, single-letter rank texture files to their full names (e.g., s1 to silver1, u to unranked) for better readability and easier configuration.
• GUI Assets Reorganization: Updated shop and GUI asset names to be more consistent and descriptive (e.g., select_anvil, select_augment_gold).
• Font Integration: Properly integrated custom font icons (GUI, Teams, Ranks) into the global minecraft namespace, fixing an issue where they appeared as empty boxes in chat, on signs, or in books.
• Asset Polish: Unified all references of "cards" to "card" across models, textures, and data files.

AUDIO

• Sound Naming Consistency: Removed redundant arena_ prefixes from all sound files and sounds.json events, taking full advantage of namespace separation to keep sound IDs clean.

• New Item Model Support in Code: Added native support in the item library for the modern item_model component, so item definitions can now use namespaced model paths like arenalegends:augment_silver/145 instead of legacy numeric IDs.
• Backwards-Compatible Model Handling: Updated the shared stack builder to accept both legacy numeric model values and new string-based model references, making the transition safer across existing configs.
• String Custom Model Data Support: Added support for string-based custom model data component values in the item system, preparing the codebase for newer Minecraft item component workflows beyond legacy integer-only usage.
• Augment Config Migration: Migrated augment definitions from old numeric model IDs to clean namespaced model paths such as arenalegends:augment_silver/145, arenalegends:augment_gold/065, and arenalegends:augment_prismatic/124.
• Item Skin Migration: Updated item skin definitions to use the new model system as readable paths like arenalegends:skin/sword_a instead of old numeric values.
• Team Icon Migration: Reworked team display icons to use namespaced item models like arenalegends:team/cow/base and arenalegends:team/cow/eliminated, replacing the old generated numeric model formula.
• Mythic & Menu Icon Migration: Updated mythic items and menu UI items to use the new namespaced game models such as arenalegends:game/a_white/card, arenalegends:game/a_green/anvil, and arenalegends:game/a_orange/gold.
• Cleaner Resource References: Refactored multiple internal config references so model assignments are now easier to read, maintain, and map directly to resource pack files.

• Introduced the Battle Pass system, allowing players to earn XP by playing games and unlock exclusive cosmetic rewards across free and premium tracks.
• Restructured internal code packages by moving event handlers, item builders, and language files to improve codebase organization and maintainability.
• Replaced the dedicated GemEconomy handling in favor of a new unified economy system supporting both Gems and Battle Pass XP.

• Consolidated and expanded economy settings in the game.yml file under a new economy section, defining separate rewards for gems and battle-pass-xp.
• Added comprehensive explanatory comments across multiple configuration files like config.yml, game.yml, and shopkeeper.yml to clarify the purpose of each setting.
• Added new game phase command execution triggers in the game.yml file for events like prep-phase-end, fight-cage-end, fight-ring-start, and fight-ring-decrease.

• Added a new Battle Pass access button to the menu-collectibles.yml file and shifted the layout slots of existing collectible buttons to accommodate it.
• Introduced detailed progress trackers in the menu-collectibles.yml file for all collectible categories, displaying unlocked counts and completion percentages.
• Standardized upgrade placeholders in the menu-upgrades.yml file by adding an UPGRADE_ prefix to all placeholders.

• Introduced a new unpurchasable item state for all cosmetic menus to handle items that cannot be bought directly with gems but are earned through the Battle Pass or other means.
• Changed the display item material for Presence Messages from ALLAY to ALLAY_SPAWN_EGG in the menu-presence-messages.yml file.
