FIXED
- Fixed extinguish-damage Magma Monster behaviour.
- Fixed health recovery for Mimic. Mob will be reworked soon.
- Fixed that if mobs.replace-mobs is not defined, mobs will not spawn at all.
- Fixed Cave Golems appearance from blocks ignoring world restrictions.

ADDED
- Changed project license from GPL-3 to MIT. Don't worry about it, just a small note for other devs.
- Refactored and fixed without-target Dead Miner behaviour. It was inverted and renamed to requires-target.
- Added requires-target Magma Monster behaviour - mob will not change blocks if it has no target.
- Added square root operator for formuals. Write #expression to use it. So, #(153 - 32) + #4 will result you 13. Also added a note about formuals at the start of the config.
- Added server-wise option for Ambient Sounds. It will play sounds server(world)-wise, so more than one player will hear it at once. Also server-wise-distance which prevents sounds from playing at close locations; may affect performance, so disabled by default.

FIXED
- Fixed compatibility with 1.12.2.
- Temporary workaround for the incompatibility with ItemsAdder plugin.
- No longer starting Caves Aging later than it should be.
- Fixed GriefPrevention compatibility.

ADDED
- Added option caverns.aging.use-chance-per-chunk, which toggles chance checking per chunk near players rather than just per player. Should not cause much performance problems.
- Lowered value caverns.aging.percentage to 30% because 70% is way too much.
- Some inner code tweaks.
- Compiled against 1.16.5.

Apart from this update, I must say that some of features I have planned may not work on legacy versions, such as 1.12 and 1.13, not because it's impossible, but because it's not worth it. Currently only ~6% of servers with DC2 plugin are using legacy versions of the game.
It doesn't mean that I'm fully dropping legacy support - current features will still work no matter what, and most of new ones will too, but.. it's time to go, you know.

FIXED
- Action bar option for Depth Hypoxia should work fine now.

ADDED
- Slighty optimized a few things - Mobs, Caves Aging, Cave Ins, Depth Hypoxia PAPI placeholder.
- Cave Golem can now spawn while mining ores. Set mobs.cave-golem.spawn-from-block to 0 to disable it.
- Added option for Smoke Demon to specify light level of spawning and wither effect.
- Added option for Hungering Darkness to play additional death sound.
- Tab-completion for the commands. Also removed /dc alias.

FIXED
- Removed deprecated protection mode section.
- Lands plugin is now in soft-dependencies just in case.
- Fixed config reload order, so changing some values should work fine just by reloading plugin once. This bug is kinda old one...
- Lava Creeper explosion radius calculation should work fine now. Was using wrong method to calculate power of two, huh.
- Ambient Sounds were playing only on one spot ignoring caverns.ambient.near value.
- Fixed version check for mobs.use-prespawn. I guess that's why I don't see many Paper users on latest versions?
- Fixed some regions checks - Cave Ins and worldguard-flags mode were inverted.

ADDED
- Added PlaceholderAPI placeholder %dangerouscaves_hypoxia_chance%. You can turn it on in the config. I feel like chance calculating is kinda heavy, so I decided to update placeholder once in a while(configurable). Will optimize it once more in the next version.
- New optional light check for mobs spawning. It won't allow you to spawn mobs in any bright places, but could help you if you have some problems with spawning.
- Minor internal changes.

CONFIG

FIXED
- Plugin should start fine now. (Thanks to @l3st4tPlugins)
- Tried to fix WG protection.

ADDED
- Lands protection support. ENTITY_GRIEFING for mobs griefing, LEAF_DECAY for cave ins and aging. Set to lands-effectless to disable ambient sounds and hypoxia too. (Thanks to @l3st4tPlugins)

Sorry for a lack of updates, I'm really busy right now :c

FIXED
- Force-disabled PreSpawn listener ignoring mobs.use-prespawn config value for versions 1.16+. I guess not everyone has time to read resource thread and GitHub issues section, so, to make it less annoying for everyone(including me), I decided to do this.
- Tried to fix some issues with Mimics. Again. Please inform me if something related will happen.
- mobs.use-prespawn is now disabled by default just in case.
- Moved WG and GP protection settings into another section.

ADDED
- Added enabled option for the most of sections just because " chance to 0" is not that obvious. This is fine if you're lazy to include it into your current config - chance: 0 still works just fine.

Please read mindfully. These are small, but rather important changes related to Paper and regions protection.

FIXED
- Flagless GriefPreventon and WorldGuard support should work properly now.
- Removed broken check for Cave-Ins.
- Mobs like Watcher should spawn without armor now.
- Fixed custom mob heads.

ADDED
- Added option mobs.use-prespawn to control prefered spawn event. Works only with Paper. As for now, on 1.16 it causes enormous amount of mobs spawning all around the world, so if you're using Paper 1.16 - disable it. There's a bug in Paper 1.16 which ruins this feature. You can see progress on this bug here.
- Renamed integration modes. Please check new config.
- You can now specify more than one mode if you're using both GriefPrevention and WorldGuard. Just separate it by comma.
- Hypoxia message now has placeholder %player - player's nickname.
- Changed mob type of Hungering Darkness to Vex, so now it flies through the walls.
- Using PaperLib, so on Caves Aging plugin loads chunks in async if Paper is used.

CONFIG

If you found a bug - please let me know through GitHub Issues or plugin's Discussion thread - help me help you

For the most part this is just for 1.14 and older. 1.15-1.16 users can ignore this update.

FIXED
- Clicks on mobs should not be a problem anymore.
- Update comment in the config with a link to Materials(item ids)

If you found a bug - please let me know through GitHub Issues or plugin's Discussion thread - help me help you

FIXED
- Skip-chunks feature from Caves Aging should work properly now.
- Fixed an issue with name-tags when restrict-rename is true.

ADDED
- Build upon 1.16.1 Spigot-API.
- Some more dev API stuff.
- Minor changes for default config. Doesn't really matter.

This update contains config.yml changes. Please see all the changes here or down below.

FIXED
- Caves Aging is now working. Disabling was caused by regions integration - "invert" option was.. inverted for caves aging.

ADDED
- Added option to disable chunk loading on caves aging.
- Added alias for "summon" subcommand - "spawn". Also "r" for "reload".
- Working on some developer API within DC. I don't think that anyone will use it.. but I think that's cool to have it ;D

Sorry, right now I can't update this project frequently. Just don't have enough time.
Residence support is planned, but Residence plugin doesn't have maven repository for developers, and I'm waiting for Zrips' response about it.
Also I'm thinking to launch own support Discord server. It's not so useful, but it's easier way to get some more feedback.

FIXED
- Fixed an error related to WorldGuard.
- Fixed rare error on world generation. At least I hope so.
- skip-chunks option from Caves Aging is now disabled by default.

ADDED
- Added GriefPrevention and GriefPreventionFlags integrations. It's not really tested, so feel free to share any related bugs.
- Added flagless mode for GP and WG. It's recommended for GriefPrevention because GPFlags' API is a bit weird and I'm not sure if it's even works.
- New option torch-remove-chance to remove some torches on Caves Aging. Set to 0 to disable.
- Some config tweaks and more comments. You can ignore it if you want to.
- Added option night-vision for Hungering Darkness to ignore players with night vision effect.
- New options without-target and torches-cooldown for Dead Miner to prevent players from farming torches.

FIXED
- Fixed an error when clicking mimic's chest.

FIXED
- Finally fixed lag issue for some servers. Maybe. Anyway, consider updating.
- Plugin is now more safe-to-use if config is not updated.
- Less block updates in chunk populator.

ADDED
- Added WG flags support. You still don't need WG installed on your server, but you can use it to limit DC. Flags: dc-entity-grief for Magma Monster, Dead Miner and Lava Creeper, dc-block-change for disabling Cave-Ins and Caves Aging, dc-player-effect for Ambient Sounds and Depth Hypoxia. Integration is disabled by default - check your config.
- Added a new mob Cave Golem based on skeleton. Has random ore on a head; attacks with 2x multiplier and gives distracting effects; can be attacked only with pickaxes, otherwise damage is multiplied by 0.07x.
- Metadata tag is now optional and disabled by default - not sure, but it can cause memory leak issue. Use it only if you really need it, like for SAML or some other plugin with metadata checks.
- Depth Hypoxia formula is now configurable, because I'm not sure if current formula is the best. Also added min and max chance values.

Working on WorldGuard, GriefPreventionFlags and Towny support for Caves Aging, Depth Hypoxia, Magma Monsters and Lava Creepers.
If you have any lags from DC2 - please use spark plugin and report it to me, thread, or this particular issue.

FIXED
- Fixed config version check. For real this time.
- Minor code changes and optimizations.

ADDED
- Depth Temperature is now replaced with Depth Hypoxia. It gives the same effect, but calculated in other way - based on player's inventory fullness and depth.
- Depth Hypoxia supports actionbar messages instead of chat(not available for bukkit servers).
- Ambient Sounds can now be played near player instead of straight player's location.

I'm planning to replace Depth Temperature with Depth Anoxemia based on player's depth and amount of items in inventory. As I said in latest update - it's better to use another plugin for a good temperature mechanic.

FIXED
- Workaround with mobs loading chunk problem. Still can't confirm the issue on my server...
- Reworked Caves Aging percentage calculation - now it ignores air in total block count.
- Magma Monster should not create fire in mid-air now.
- EffectTags for 1.12-1.13 support was replaced with ScoreboardTags. Old mobs will no longer work as DC mobs(1.14+ is fine). If you will notice any bugs - you can freely message me.
- Creepers should blowup without effects now(1.12-1.13).

ADDED
- Health configuration for almost every mob(except Crying bat and Hungering Darkness).
- Added option to disable binding curse for Hexed Armor.
- Limited entity-type list to replace - you can specify which entity you want to replace with DC mobs.
- Added option for Magma Monster behaviour change - if it's extinguished(with water) it will be damaged.
- Now you can disable vines, rocks, mushrooms and stone-replacement on Caves Aging.

I want to know if you guys still want to have Depth Temperature feature in DC2. There's plenty of plugins with better temperature mechanics like Caliditas, and DC2 is like "i wanna give this player a temperature debuff just why not".

FIXED
- Config version detection should work fine now.
- EffectTags for 1.12-1.13 was changed for a bit. If you had some spawned DC2 monsters(not on 1.14+) - unfortunately they will probably become ordinary mobs. I'm still searching for a better and more efficient way to detect DC2 mobs on legacy versions.
- Size of the jar file is now lower - removed some useless files from it.

ADDED
- Added a new tick level - PLAYER. 1 execution per 800 vanilla ticks(40 seconds). Works for Ambient Sounds and Depth Temperature.
- Config version is now splitted from plugin version with ; instead of -.
- A new option to disable sound and effect from Cave-Ins.

CONFIG

If you found a bug - please let me know through GitHub Issues or plugin's Discussion thread - help me help you

It's better to update from 2.1.5 if you did download it before. Sorry for that.

FIXED
- Depth Temperature was listening for Caves Aging config section.

I'm not going to update this plugin for a week or so. Sorry for it, but I have to do my own things. Anyway, if found a bug - I will try to fix it ASAP.

FIXED
- Depth Temperature was working even if its chance is 0.
- Watcher now applies slowness with more reliable amplifier - lvl 200 was too glitchy.

ADDED
- Plugin now prints that versions before 1.12 are not really supported.

FIXED
- Fixed Caves Aging scheduler was ignoring its config value.
- DC mob are despawnable now.
- Second attempt to fix annoying error.

ADDED

- You can limit maximal percentage of "aged" blocks per chunk.
- DC mobs are now marked with metadata "DangerousCaves" for SAML support.

FIXED
- Cave-Ins "dupe" is finally fixed.
- Magma Monster now have its leggings and boots.
- Fixed Caves Aging chunk-processing logic for nearby players.
- Using lite metrics to make plugin jar size a bit smaller.
- Some config tweaks were made.

ADDED

- Major optimization for mobs processing.
- More settings for Cave-Ins - optional sand-like fall and cuboid shape.
- Mimic - a new mob that will spawn in custom structures. Natural spawning is disabled by default (no one wants to fill the world with chests, yeah?)
- Added sound when Dead Miner places torches.
- Added a bit more particles for Smoke Demon.

PLANNED:
- The Plague - a new mob that will infect you, so you will infect other players. Delayed in 2.1.0 because of a huge gap between updates.
- Insomnia hallucinations.
- More customization for every mob.
- Limiting Caves Aging if N% of caves is "aged" with async calculation.
- Your own custom structures.
- Spawners and Spawn Eggs with DC's mobs.
- *your idea here*

CONFIG:

I'm sorry for no updates. I'm still working on 2.1.0 update. It's quite big update for me, because it's the start of modular plugin system for legacy versions support(1.12.2 - 1.13.2). I have to test everything - I don't want servers to suffer due to some stupid errors in my code.

As a spoiler for this update
- 1.12-1.15 support
- Mimic - a new mob that will spawn in custom structures
- The Plague - a new mob that will infect you, so you will infect other players
- Major optimization for mobs ticking
- Вetter cave-ins shape

Next planned updates
- Health customization for every mob
- Limit cave-aging if N% of undergrounds is "aged"
- ???
