Hello everyone
I see lots of people waiting for the 1.21 update. As I never make use of NMS to set up anything for my plugins, it would mean that my plugins are in most scenario's still functioning for all future versions (unless there is a change to the API)

For example: Bossbars were introduced later on and use different API. Chatcolors are now also changing.

Please try and as long as you don't rely too much on the integrations of bloodmoon, you should be fine to run this version for 1.21!

Also, if you are in the discord you are aware there are big plans for bloodmoon. Hence the reason why this plugin did not receive an update for a while.

Please stay tuned, and my sincere apologies for the delay on your replies.

Kind regards

Hello everyone

Today's update is going to be an updated that many people like due to it's past. I had to face the fact that the bossbars were frequently not showing up and as a result, people were not aware that a bloodmoon was running. However I couldn't find what was causing it. So I did what every developer should do when things are getting though, I went back to the drawing board and reworked the bossbar mechanics from scratch. This time I tested in many different scenario's and it all seems to work fine now.

So here are today's updates:

• Reworked bossbar mechinics which should fix all issues previously reported
• Added 2 new config options to configure when bloodmoon is considered possibly to start.

NOTE: you will receive an alert that your config file is not up to date. You can either manually add the missing properties and change the "version" property in the config to 3.5 OR backup and your config, and restart the server to let the plugin generate the updated config.

Newly added config properties:

Hello everyone

After some changes in 1.19, some features were completely broken. Below you can find the full update log.

• Added new config option under bell-warning 'sound' to specify your own sound.
• Mob in block feature is fixed
• Bossbar should be more consistent now
• Added exclusion for mob replacement for silverfish
• Removed confusing subcommand /bm boss (is subcommand of mob)

Please note that this is not yet the upcoming major update. In case something is broken feel free to report it in our discord.

Hello everyone

This is a minor update that will guarantee/enforce the drop chance of items (including natural drops). Before this update there was still a chance in case item drop chance was set to 0%, it would still drop gear like the item in the off or main hand.

Please note that this update will only affect versions using the main and off hand.

Kind regards

Hello everyone

This update will increase the performance of bloodmoon advanced tremendously!

We are talking about 50% CPU usage down to about 0.8%. (depending on your server).

There should be absolutely no questions asked whether you should or should not update to this version, you absolutely should!

Enjoy running Bloodmoons on 20 tps

Kind regards

Hi everyone

This version contains a fix for a rare bug where bloodmoon is trying to execute stuff on disabled plugins. This bug will only happen when something goes wrong while loading the dependent plugin. If the plugin is not installed, or not one of the below list, you will not encounter this issue.

NOTE: In order to get support you still need to use the latest version/

dependent plugins:

• Mythic Mobs
• PlaceholderAPI
• Forceresourcepacks
• Wildstacker

Hello everyone

This update contains a small but interesting feature. This should make bloodmoon advanced compatible again with HEX colors.

Please note that the updates related to bloodmoon for now will be minimal as there are some extreme big changes on it's way for bloodmoon.

You can join our discord for more information on this future update.

Kind regards

Hello everyone

As you might have noticed, bloodmoon stopped working with mythic mobs for quite some time. After investigation, it seems that Mythic Mobs had changed their API drastically.

Reference can be found here: https://git.mythiccraft.io/mythiccraft/MythicMobs/-/wikis/Changelogs

However I managed to get an understanding on the changes they did and reworked the existing code into a supported version of the code.

For now it seems that you need 5.0.3 or the API will throw errors like "Class def not found exception".

Therefore: When using Mythic Mobs, make sure you have version 5.0.3 minimum!

I hope you are happy with this update.

Kind regards

Hello everyone

Today we got a rather small but usefull update for bloodmoon advanced. As for your information, I had to take a break of development for medical reasons, more on that can be read on the discord announcements.

The bypass update
In this version we have added 3 new permissions, these permissions allow you to bypass certain restrictions during the bloodmoon events.

bloodmoon.bypass.blocked-cmds
bypass the blocked commands during the bloodmoon

bloodmoon.bypass.sleep
allow you to sleep during the bloodmoon even if it is not allowed in the config

bloodmoon.bypass.use-portals
allow you to use portals even when the bloodmoon is running


Please stay tuned for more updates and feel free to join our discord if you have an idea yourself.


Note: we have been looking into the possibility for a feature to have apocalypse and have only 1 type of mob spawning. However due to the architecture of the project, it would take much more time to investigate how to implement. Therefore, this specific requirement is pending and under investigation.

Kind regards

Quinten

Hello everyone

I know it has been a VERY long time since the last update took place, but I know there are still many people who enjoy this plugin, so it's not an archived project.

I built the plugin originally with old technology and without maven. It took a while to refactor the whole thing and update everything but now bloodmoon advanced is ready for future updates!

Enjoy the update and more to come!
PS: Enjoy the holiday discount untill the end of the year!

Hello everyone

As earlier mentioned, we will start rolling out smaller releases so you can enjoy the new content even faster. As there were a few bugs discovered, we decided to roll out this update even sooner. Here is the summary of updates:

Execute commands when players die
A new feature has been added. You can now specify a list of commands that will execute for every player dying during the bloodmoon. In order to use this option, you need to use the latest version of the config.

Code (YAML):

death-actions:
  lose-xp:
    chance : 0.0
  clear-inventory:
    chance : 0.0
  commands :
   - say %player% got killed during a bloodmoon!
 

Title now showing when player joins
When a bloodmoon is already running, a title will show to the joining player that the bloodmoon has started


Bug FIXES

• Drops are not dropped when mob has no lifecycle
• Double prefix when schedule is announced
• Bloodmoon reload has no effect on the Death Actions
• Bloodmoon sometimes causing errors when trying to start
• Bloodmoon loop starting due to -1 result in days left

There is much more content coming soon, and remember, feel free to always provide us feedback, feature requests or bugs.

Kind regards

• Bossbar not showing for players when joining during a bloodmoon

Good evening everyone

It took a while before we released this version, but all your feedback has been taken into consideration. We are proud to announce Bloodmoon Advanced 4.0!

Like every other bloodmoon advanced update, the update has a ton of new features , improvements and much more.

Here is a list of all the new features!

SCHEDULES
As of now, you can configure schedules. Schedules are triggers used to decide when, how often, and if the bloodmoon should trigger or not. There will be announcements how many days left.
You can configure

• How many days between bloodmoon
• Repeating schedules
• Random days
• Chance if the bloodmoon would trigger or not
• Announce how many days left
• ...

This is by far the biggest feature in this update!



The original schedule command is also replaced with a new command called "next". More information and a list of all commands for schedules can be found here:
https://bloodmoon.pseudonova.com/schedules/introduction

PROGRESSING BOSSBARS FOR NIGHTS
A many requested feature is the option to make the boss bar decrease in percentage according to the bloodmoon night progression.

This has been introduced and is even working properly with the new "LONGER NIGHTS" feature.




CUSTOM MOB SPAWNING
With custom mob spawning, mobs will also start spawning in by using a non natural spawning mechanic. You can configure the radius mobs could spawn in around players, configure max mobs per chunk, etc ...

More on spawn mechanics can be found here:
https://bloodmoon.pseudonova.com/mobs/spawn-mechanics


IMPROVED LIFECYLCES

• We adapted the way lifecycles work. You can now configure that lifecylce actions will also execute when a mob hits the player.
• We introduced a way of adding actions that will trigger based on a percentage when the mob dies

More on lifecycles can be found here:
https://bloodmoon.pseudonova.com/lifecycles/introduction


SURFACE SPAWN PROPERTY

A new mob property has been introduced. As of now, when this property is enabled, the parent mob will always spawn on the surface (except if spawned in by command)


LONGER AND DARKER NIGHTS

• Longer nights will slow down in a configurable percentage the time so that nights during bloodmoon will actually slow down. This is completely configurable
• Darker nights will given a short blindness effect to all players in the bloodmoon to drastically increase the difficulty of surviving a bloodmoon night.

PAPI PLACEHOLDERS

A list of placeholders have been added to the plugin. This will allow you to print certain values from the bloodmoon plugin in any message inside but also outside of bloodmoon.

More on placeholders can be found here:
https://bloodmoon.pseudonova.com/placeholder-api/overview-of-placeholders

IMPROVED COMPASS PERFORMANCE
As of now, the compass will no longer change destination every move the player makes. Instead, the location will be updated once every second.

SEVERAL BUG FIXES
A list of bugs have been solved. Below you can find a small summary containing a few of the major bugs:

• Resource packs not applying on the correct moments
• Bossbar not showing/hiding on the correct moments
• Creating mobs that are not actual living entities
• ...

That was it for this update. Please stay tuned for many more updates! Your feedback is our priority.
