- [New] The pirate ship minidungeon has been readded to the plugin defaults as it has now been updated out of being a schematic dungeon
- [Fix] Fixed issue where wormholes would sometimes be placed in incorrect locations

- [New] Importing content with models will now automatically and immediately host the content if FMM and RSPM are installed, meaning dungeons with models will now work after a single EliteMobs reload to install if from the imports

- [New] Added ZoneEnterEvent and ZoneLeaveEvent for elite scripts. This allows scripters to trigger actions based on entities entering and leaving zones set in scripts. The DIRECT_TARGET of ZoneEnterEvent and ZoneLeaveEvent is the entity that entered or left, and due to how the internal logic works only absolute points (specific coordinates) and points relative to the boss can be used for scanning entering and leaving.
- [New] No durability left messages for elite items now appear in the boss bar instead of spamming chat
- [New] Treasure Chests can now be added to dungeon instances by using "instanced: true" in their configuration files and adding the locations the same way it is done with regional bosses
- [New] Added minimum event cooldown for timed events, defaulted to 4 minutes, to prevent multiple events to happen all at once when players join worlds with queued events
- [New] Added warning for items using INSTANT_DAMAGE/HARM potion effects due to the tendency of making players/admins not understand why they're healing undead mobs. We will be redoing all default/officially distributed loot that uses these potion effects, which shouldn't be more than a few cases.
- [New] Added listedInTeleports option for dungeon packager that can prevent certain dungeons from being listed in the teleports page of the EM menu
- [New] Added fireDamageMultiplier, poisonDamageMultiplier, witherDamageMultiplier to dungeons.yml which modify how much damage those damage sources deal inside of EliteMobs dungeon worlds to better balance combat

- [Tweak] Changed several plugin defaults to be natively written for Minecraft 1.21
- [Fix] Fixed bug where reloading EliteMobs would remove the world protections for already loaded worlds
- [Fix] Fixed error associated with trying to read potion effects
- [Fix] Improved the compatibility layer to better take old enchantments and potion effects into account, reenabling effects on items generated before 9.0
- [Fix] Fixed error spam related to custom boss trails

Notice: as of EliteMobs 9, and due to major Minecraft & Spigot changes, the only version supported is Minecraft 1.21+. If you wish to run EliteMobs on a 1.19.4-1.20.4 server, you will have to use the last version of EliteMobs 8.

Further, we took the opportunity to make some massive improvements that were a long time coming. Among other things, we are already deep in the process of replacing the schematic dungeons with world dungeons, with many of the maps already made. Those maps will have the original build, improved, plus several other builds, and new bosses, powers, items and so on, generally making them much larger, more interesting and using more recent features like custom powers and, in some cases, custom models. If you have purchased a premium schematic dungeon, you will be able to download the upgraded larger world dungeon it will turn into in the same place you originally downloaded the schematic dungeon. Schematic dungeons have been replaced with BetterStructures shrines, which fill the role of schematic dungeons much better than schematic dungeons were ever able to.

Important: The combat system has changed, so the boss settings all had to be updated! It is not guaranteed that combat will be balanced as intended if you do not update the dungeons. You are able to change the boss combat multipliers yourselves to adjust combat, but it will take a while to get it right.

Also, it's my birthday, so we have our yearly birthday sale! https://itch.io/s/102962/happy-birthday-magmaguy 25-38% off!

EliteMobs 8.6.1
- [New] Considerably rebalanced combat for normalized bosses. This means every regional boss, and every dungeon. They are now squishier and deal less damage by default, based on feedback and changes to how the plugin uses these mobs and the amounts they are used in
- [New] Players who use the commoner rank (the opt out rank for EliteMobs) will no longer be subjected to random events
- [New] Based on feedback, gold shotguns no longer move around when triggered, they will aim in a specific direction and shoot after the delay similar to other powers, making it possible to dodge them
- [Tweak] Players that are too low level will now be unable to obtain coins from killing a boss that is too high level. This is because in almost every instance where this happens, players are just getting carried by other players.
- [New] Added individual damage multipliers for combat against bosses in the normalized combat system (regional bosses). This means that the damage multipliers for elites / event bosses and for dungeon content can and must now be adjusted individually. This update resets configuration changes to combat multipliers to avoid causing balance issues due to the new combat balance.
- [Tweak] Tweaked the mob level to use integer values for the level difference warning
- [Tweak] When regional bosses engage in combat with other bosses they will now lose the out of combat slowness effect

- [Fix] Fixed error with on death commands chances not running under some conditions
- [Fix] Fixed issue where limited items did not have level limitations
- [Fix] Fixed issue where null lore could break startup sequence
- [Fix] Fixed error when elites try to full heal but other plugins have modified the mob's max health
- [Tweak] Cleared debug messages
- [Tweak] Bosses will no longer cull reinforcements for phase switches
- [Tweak] Disguised entities will always display their names because I can't get libsdisguises to alternate between showing and not showing
- [Tweak] Halved the damage of the flamethrower enchantment based on numerous points of feedback

• [New] Quests can now require several permissions to in order to be accepted
• [New] Added the ability to put permission requirements in order to join an arena
• [New] Added completing arenas as a valid quest objective
• [Tweak] Big optimization improvement for servers with extremely fast chunk culling
• [Fix] Fixed issue where elite mobs weren't able to drop vanilla minecraft items from the loot tables

EliteMobs 8.0.2 changelog:
- [Fix] Fixed issue with the boss tracking menu and the commands page menu for the /em bedrock-compatible version

EliteMobs 8.0.1 changelog:
- [Fix] Fixed issue where some menus wouldn't close correctly

EliteMobs 8.0.0 changelog:
- New massive Primis Adventure release! (1)
- Mass dungeon update! (2)
- New translation system! (3)
- New combat system! (4)
- New item system! (5)
- New EM Package system & better installation process! (6)
- Bug fixes & optimizations (7)

1) Primis Adventure:
The tutorial adventure for EliteMobs has just seen a massive release! This opens up several new areas - Pontis Mille, the Redwoods, Nemus, the Storm Temple, the Goblin Mines and lots of other tinier zones. Adds several quests, reworks, fixes & much more! Download it on magmaguy.itch.io or get it for $1 when becoming a patron on Patreon!

2) Mass dungeon update:
Due to several changes in all systems, the dungeons were all updated to work with the latest EliteMobs version. This changes the items of nearly all dungeons to work with the new system. Items will (in most cases) not work correctly if you do not update.

3) New Translation system:
EliteMobs now officially has a translation folder with translation files and provides default translations! You can switch your server's language through /em language <language_filename.yml>. You can contribute to the EliteMobs translation project here!

4) New item system
EliteMobs 8.0 completely changes how items fundamentally work. Instead of relying on elite enchantments, items now have special attributes which determine the damage. Additionally, the plugin has been completely restructured to be compatible with any third party item or skill plugin from the ground up. Instead of replacing the damage system, EliteMobs now simply adds to the damage done to plugin mobs, meaning that you can add as many damage systems on top of that as you want and they should all natively work (armor is still an exception here).
Items now state their elite dps and their elite protection on the item.

5) New combat system!
The changes in the item system also added the ability to make attack cooldowns matter far more, meaning that items with faster or slower attack speeds are better taken into account, including when they have custom attributes for these values.

6) The installation process hasn't changed much visually, but has been completely remade behind the scenes. The main differences are with the schematic dungeons and the need to reload after installing content. Schematic dungeons are now instantly installed from the menu and their installation is far smoother. There should no longer be a need to reload or restart after installing any content.

Please note: these are just release highlights, too much changed to fully list here!

• High performance visual effects! Full visual effects now only trigger when players engage with the Elite Mobs. Servers having performance drops to 13 TPS with 100 level 300 zombies now have no TPS drops with 500 level 300 zombies.
• 4 new powers! Added the corpse, attackvacuum, implosion and moonwalk powers, focused on anti-exploit behavior.
• Improved anti-exploit system! The anti-exploit system is now more transparent with when it activates, and some powers have been tweaked or added to lower the chances of players exploiting mob AI.
• Better name tags! By default, elite mobs will only start showing their names after engaging in combat.
• Custom enchantments! The hunter and flamethrower powers are now enchantments any Elite Mob items can have.
• More varied custom and unique loot! Custom and unique loot can now appear at any tier, following the config settings as a blueprint. A video will be made explaining this feature in-depth.
• Increased the default max tier to 10.
• Ranking up in the adventurer's guild now adds 1 heart to the max health (configurable).

Minor changes:

• Action bosses now despawn on chunk unload
• Creepers can no longer have the invisibility power
• Nerfed the Saturation potion effect
• The hunter enchantment now works at multiple levels
• Dropped support for versions under 1.12 (next to no one was using them)
• Rebalanced pricing for certain features

Bug fixes:

• If it was reported, it was fixed. Hell, it was fixed even if it wasn't reported.

6.6.0 Change log:

Important notes:

• Items spawned before this version will lose their unique EliteMobs properties - they won't be able to be sold to the store and they will lose any potion effects they may have.
• Unique items are in the middle of getting overhauled to make way for custom enchantments - they will be fixed over the next few updates. The zombie king's axe flamethrower power is not currently working.
• You will need to reset your config files for this update. This is not optional if you want EliteMobs to work properly.

Critical changes:

• Updated the plugin for 1.13 and 1.13.1 (1.13 specific mobs and mechanics are not in the plugin yet, but they will be soon). It is still 1.12.2-compatible and I'm working to make it 1.9 compatible. If you want to help me by testing EliteMobs on 1.9, let me know, because I really need someone to do that for me.
• Added the Adventurer's Guild system, accessible through /ag or /adventurerguild or /adventurersguild (requires elitemobs.adventurersguild) which allows players to set their own difficulty for EliteMobs and recieve rewards according to what difficulty they're playing on (better loot for harder difficulties, trash for easy difficulties)
• The combat system has been redone from scratch. It now uses tiers to make the combat difficulty much more consistent. A video will be made explaining exactly how it works.
• The item system has been remade from scratch. Items can now have fake enchantments - all enchantments above level 5 are actually level 5, despite showing a higher level in the item lore. This is so you can set the maximum enchantments on Elite Mobs items to the 100s or 1000s without breaking other stuff (like pvp).
• Added the /em setmaxtier [tierLevel] command. This one is very important. I recommend you set it to 100. This means that to players it will look like EliteMobs items can have up to sharpness 99 with a diamond sword and protection 99 for armor, when in reality these items just have special lore that looks like enchantment levels. The actual sharpness and protection enchantments never go over level 5. The custom lore only affects EliteMobs.
• The item quality system has been completely overhauled. Item quality is no longer entirely reliant on the item tier - low level items can be high quality (many secondary enchantments) and high tier items can be low quality (no secondary enchatments).
• Added the permission elitemobs.user which contains all permission nodes which I recommend (more details in the commands and permissions github page)
• Moved data files to dedicated data folder inside the folder for EliteMobs config options. You can move the old data files in while the server is offline - it will not work if you try to move them while the server is online.
• All event boss levels are now dynamic - action events are always relatively easy (they're just there to spice things up) while timer-based events are always hard.
• Added exploit prevention mechanics - attempts made by players to trap Elite Mobs will hopefully result in said mob not dropping any special loot. Right now this is indicated by the mob suddenly losing their visual trail.
• Added a very basic combat tag system. Flying and vanilla godmode (not godmode made by other plugins) will now be toggled off when the player either strikes or gets struck by an Elite Mob.
• Fixed some nasty bugs related to the Balrog event
• Added alerts that notify server OPs when a new public version of EliteMobs is available (permission-based)
• Kraken event is temporarily disabled for 1.13 servers

Minor changes:

• Added the following permission nodes: elitemobs.setmaxtier , elitemobs.checktier, elitemobs.checkmaxtier , elitemobs.gettier
• Added the following commands: /em setmaxtier [tierLevel] , /em checktier , /em checkmaxtier , /em gettier [tierLevel]
• Added a ton of aliases for commands
• If you want more info regarding commands or permission nodes, check the github page about them.
• Improved the data logging security and efficiency in preparation for SQL integration
• Added item tier info to the lore structure of custom and procedurally generated items
• Added code which automatically deletes deprecated config options, making it easier to remove old config options as the plugin is developed
• Improved the /em simloot command - it now fully simulates a mob drop, meaning that it might even not yield any items if you don't get lucky with the drop chance.
• Drastically increased the event rarity for action events
• Added escape mechanics to the Balrog and the Fae
• Player wallets now round down to two decimal places
• Event bosses will now retain their visual effects even after the chunk they were on has been unloaded and loaded back in
• /em reload config & /em reload loot have been merged into /em reload
• Restructured the item lore customization options to be more immediately understandable
• Added the "display" tag so that "/em spawnmob zobie 500 display" will spawn a zombie with the noAI tag for players to take a good look at the effects
• Made vindicators valid Elite Mobs
• Added a lot of more specific entity subtypes to ValidMobs.yml
• Added more translation options for items
• Added https://magmaguy.com/EliteMobs_Webapp_Chinese.html thanks to a fan translation
• A number of compatibility fixes have been made to accommodate plugins such as MythicMobs, InfernalMobs and various pet plugins.
• A lot of config options have been introduced, which I won't get into here as they're just too numerous.

Bug fixes:

• Armor stand health and damage displays have been vastly improved
• Massive refactors and restructuring
• Action events no longer trigger for players in creative or spectator mode
• Fixed the name of the Saturation potion effect
• Fixed issues related to the SkeletonTrackingArrow getting stuck
• Fixed death messages so they rely on vanila death message mechanics, making them more compatible with other plugins
• So much more stuff that it would be senseless to try to write it down here.

6.5.0 Changelog:


Critical changes:

• Added a new type of events : Action events. These events get triggered when a specific type of action is executed by players.
• Added the Balrog action event (mining). It has a 1/100 chance of getting triggered when players break an ore block. This spawns a level 100 silverfish that spawns two more silverfish with 1 hp each when struck. It drops the unique pickaxe "Dwarven Greed". Can be manually spawned through the command "/em spawnbossmob balrog". Fully configurable.
• Added the Kraken action event (fishing). It has a 1/100 chance of spawning when players reel in a fishing hook out of the water. This spawns a squid with 100 health that fires fireballs at players. It drops the unique fishing rod "Depths Seeker". Can be manually spawned through the command "/em spawnbossmob kraken". Fully configurable.
• Added the Fae action event (wood cutting). It has a 1/1000 chance of spawning when players cut down a log. It spawns three level 20 vexes, each with their own elemental power - lighting, freeze and fire. They have a 1/3 chance of dropping the unique axe "The Feller". They can be manually spawned through the command "/em spawnbossmob fae". Fully configurable.
• Added vexes to the list of valid Elite Mobs.
• Removed all unique items from the custom shop except for the mob hunting set.
• Expanded custom death messages to include the following mob types: husks, strays, zombie pigmen, wither skeletons.

Minor changes:

• Tweaked commands errors for the sake of clarity. Error messages for spawning mobs now clarify the possible syntax.
• Tweaked the event permissions: elitemobs.spawnbossmob ; elitemobs.events.kraken ; elitemobs.events.deadmoon ; elitemobs.events.smalltreasuregoblin ; elitemobs.events.* . The action event permissions are currently unused as they should be true by default but permission plugins don't seem to be handling that properly.
• Fixed config reloading not updating the valid world list properly.
• Using the spawnmob command will no longer also spawn an extra normal mob.
• Fixed incorrect capitalization of world names for the treasure goblin event.
• Added SkeletonPillar to the valid list of powers in the spawnmob command.

Note: EliteMobs 6.6.0 will be a massive update. I will try to be as expedient as I can with it, but please bear with me if it takes a bit longer than usual to release to spigot. You'll be able to get in early if you follow discord dev builds. That update will introduce enchantment levels that go up to 100, mobs that can have thousands of levels and an adventurer's guild. Feel free to drop by the discord to learn more or provide much needed feedback or help with testing!



6.4.0 Changelog:

Critical changes:

• Changed the way Elite Mobs get powers! Elite Mobs now get a maximum of 2 defensive powers, 2 offensive powers, 2 miscellaneous powers and 2 major powers. One new power is added every 50 levels. This means that the power cap is now at 8 powers total, as opposed to being able to just stack every power in the plugin. This will make fights more tactical and less hectic. You may want to review your damage and health multipliers as this does makes Elite Mobs significantly easier to fight as of right now, although the new influx of major powers aims to fix that. You'll still be able to manually spawn Elite Mobs with all the powers you desire.
• Nerfed super chicken eggs so they will no longer get picked up by dispensers and last for a shorter amount of time than vanilla eggs. This is to prevent massive lag issues related to the equivalent of thousands of chicken constantly laying new eggs into automatic egg farms
• Added new major power: SkeletonTrackingArrow. High level skeletons may now fire an arrow that will follow the player around until it hits something!
• Added new major power: SkeletonPillar. High level skeletons may now summon two white pillars that rotate around them for a few seconds and cause damage to nearby non-passive living entities.
• Added a configurable timeout value for bosses so they don't just accumulate over time if people don't hunt them down
• Added config option to see the damage display and health for every mob you hit (instead of just for Elite Mobs), disabled by default
• Added new power to the elite mob hunting bow: Bosses near the elite mob hunting bow will now get highlighted to make hunting them easier
• Fixed vanilla minecraft boat/minecart exploit by adding a config option to disable the mount even for Elite Mobs (on by default)
• Added XP loot multiplier separate from the old vanilla loot multiplier
• Added configurable distance-based difficulty increase for Elite Mobs so they spawn at higher levels the farther away you travel from spawn (off by default, as a lot of servers rely on randomtp when players first set out to build a home)

Minor changes:

• Added option to never turn mobs with custom names into Elite Mobs (improves compatibility with other plugins)
• Fixed several aspects of damage and health indicators
• Fixed errors related to damage event
• Added config option to not show item worth for unique items
• Changed event launched to only start when the minimum amount of players is met
• Fixed a number of issues related to color codes in config files
• Made boss mob power intervals configurable
• Fixed the spawnmob command. It now spawns from console and from command blocks properly, and reports errors better.

Parting notes:

I've been doing more development livestreams lately, if you're interested in checking them out keep an eye out for https://www.twitch.tv/magmaguy. They're a good place to prompt me with complicated questions or requests, or to just come watch me working on things and give me some feedback as I create new features.



6.3.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• Created a brand new event with a brand new boss mob! The Dead Moon event only ever occurs during an in-game new moon. During this event, all Zombies spawned are Elite Mobs, all Zombies spawn an additional two unique event mobs called "The Returned" and at the start of the event a special boss mob called Zombie King spawns. This mob is level 1000 and has a Flamethrower power, a Unholy Smite power, a Summon Minions power and a Spirit Walk power.
• Created a new power for all boss mobs (Zombie King and Treasure Goblin) called Spirit Walk. If they get hit 16 times in a row without dealing melee damage, they will ghost their way to a new location in order to avoid getting stuck in 2 blocks deep holes or other player traps that would make the fight too easy.
• Added a unique item: Zombie King's Axe. Right clicking this item will recreate the power that the Zombie King has for the player. Using this will wear the item out. It currently deals no pvp damage whatsoever.
• Fixed issues related to using the built-in reload commands, specifically those related to the loot. Reloading loot should now work properly.

Minor changes:

• Fixed console error related to bad custom death message assignment.
• Made it so players killed by bosses get the name of the boss displayed in the death message instead of the level of the boss
• Fixed recurring shop bug, players should now be able to use shops normally and the shop system should prevent them from buying items if their inventories are already full
• Added /elitemobs spawnbossmob treasuregoblin command
• Added /elitemobs spawnbossmob zombieking command
• Overhauled the non-permanent nametag system to use vanilla settings, should no longer cause any amount of additional processing power to use
• Fixed console error on paper spigot related to the Team Rocket death event
• Tweaked the Team Rocket death event in general
• Rewrote the Health and Damage displays so they display any damage dealt to Elite Mobs, not just player damage
• Added a cooldown to the AttackWither power
• Optimized the signature item in shops to only ever access servers once during runtime
• Added config option to MobCombatSettings.yml to turn Health display off
• Added config option to MobCombatSettings.yml to turn Damage display off
• Changed natural mob spawning eligibility to never try to turn already named mobs into Elite Mobs (should fix compatibility issues with several plugins)
• Fixed github repo issue caused by case sensitivity changes between versions
• Made visual improvements to the GoldShotgun power's warning of the Treasure Goblin boss mob

6.2.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• Fixed shop bug introduced in 6.1.0 where players could no longer sell items to shops
• Introduced dynamic lore - Elite Mob items now transition the lore text between item worth and item resale value. These messages are both configurable and should take existing formatting into account. Items held by the player won't have dynamic lore for now. This is a Minecraft limitation.
• Fixed Super Chicken bug where Super Chicken wouldn't lay eggs properly
• Fixed item worth so it only has two decimal values

Smaller changes:

• Fixed more passive mob related issues
• Smaller technical stuff

6.1.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• Added cooldowns to quite a lot of powers to make fights less hectic and annoying to go through
• Added two new powers: RadialGoldExplosion (for Treasure Goblins) and ZombieBloat (for Elite Zombies)
• Fixed some bugs related to death messages and added a way to customize them based on mob type
• Tweaked the Treasure Goblin event to be challenging and fun again

Smaller changes:

• Tweaked Elite Mobs armor
• Elite Mobs should no longer be able to pick items up
• Fixed bug where selling items to /em shop could prompt the inventory full message
• Added item worth to bows and shields
• Rewrote most powers to be more unified and work more reliably
• Tweaked a bunch of powers to make fights more interesting
• Treasure Goblin level was increased from 200 to 600 (hunting parties should now be mandatory, probably, unless the player is extremely well equipped and a goo fighter)
• Cleaned up code

6.0.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• This update completely redoes elite mob difficulty! Now, when players fight against mobs, they fight outside of the vanilla Minecraft combat system. Enchantments, materials and potion effects have been optimized to be able to scale to fight against mobs with millions of levels (though, for now, the vanilla values are recommended. The level 10,000,000 update will be released in the next few weeks). Current vanilla settings recommend level 2500 as the max level for naturally spawned Elite Mobs (for hunting parties)
• Changes to config.yml and EconomySettings.yml! A lot of elements have been removed from it and moved to their own config files (MobCombatSettings.yml and ItemsDropSettings.yml).
• Cool new damage and health remaining effects! You can disable these, obviously. They're there to show players just how good their gear is and how much of a dent they're putting on the Elite Mobs.
• Item worth is now entirely configurable! You can customize the worth of individual elements for items. It is not recommended that you stray too far from the default values, as it might break some built-in progression settings.
• New and improved item drop system! Items are now dropped less randomly and instead they are dropped according to power and worth. As a result, custom items are also dropping far more reliably.

Smaller changes:

• [Bug fix] Slots 0-8 on stores can now be used properly for selling items if that's what they're configured to do.
• [Request] There's now a setting that allows admins to globally toggle off displaying enchantments on items.
• Players can no longer die in 1 hit from full health (max damage is 19).
• Players can no longer have untouchable armor (min damage is 1).
• Mob difficulty now makes mobs 10% harder with each subsequent level.
• The best weapon in the hotbar is now taken into account when spawning an Elite Mob
• Removed a few dead config options
• Other smaller fixes and tweaks

Critical changes:

• Fixed shop bug introduced in 6.1.0 where players could no longer sell items to shops
• Introduced dynamic lore - Elite Mob items now transition the lore text between item worth and item resale value. These messages are both configurable and should take existing formatting into account. Items held by the player won't have dynamic lore for now. This is a Minecraft limitation.
• Fixed Super Chicken bug where Super Chicken wouldn't lay eggs properly
• Fixed item worth so it only has two decimal values

Smaller changes:

• Fixed more passive mob related issues
• Smaller technical stuff

6.1.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• Added cooldowns to quite a lot of powers to make fights less hectic and annoying to go through
• Added two new powers: RadialGoldExplosion (for Treasure Goblins) and ZombieBloat (for Elite Zombies)
• Fixed some bugs related to death messages and added a way to customize them based on mob type
• Tweaked the Treasure Goblin event to be challenging and fun again

Smaller changes:

• Tweaked Elite Mobs armor
• Elite Mobs should no longer be able to pick items up
• Fixed bug where selling items to /em shop could prompt the inventory full message
• Added item worth to bows and shields
• Rewrote most powers to be more unified and work more reliably
• Tweaked a bunch of powers to make fights more interesting
• Treasure Goblin level was increased from 200 to 600 (hunting parties should now be mandatory, probably, unless the player is extremely well equipped and a goo fighter)
• Cleaned up code

6.0.0 Changelog

Critical changes:

• This update completely redoes elite mob difficulty! Now, when players fight against mobs, they fight outside of the vanilla Minecraft combat system. Enchantments, materials and potion effects have been optimized to be able to scale to fight against mobs with millions of levels (though, for now, the vanilla values are recommended. The level 10,000,000 update will be released in the next few weeks). Current vanilla settings recommend level 2500 as the max level for naturally spawned Elite Mobs (for hunting parties)
• Changes to config.yml and EconomySettings.yml! A lot of elements have been removed from it and moved to their own config files (MobCombatSettings.yml and ItemsDropSettings.yml).
• Cool new damage and health remaining effects! You can disable these, obviously. They're there to show players just how good their gear is and how much of a dent they're putting on the Elite Mobs.
• Item worth is now entirely configurable! You can customize the worth of individual elements for items. It is not recommended that you stray too far from the default values, as it might break some built-in progression settings.
• New and improved item drop system! Items are now dropped less randomly and instead they are dropped according to power and worth. As a result, custom items are also dropping far more reliably.

Smaller changes:

• [Bug fix] Slots 0-8 on stores can now be used properly for selling items if that's what they're configured to do.
• [Request] There's now a setting that allows admins to globally toggle off displaying enchantments on items.
• Players can no longer die in 1 hit from full health (max damage is 19).
• Players can no longer have untouchable armor (min damage is 1).
• Mob difficulty now makes mobs 10% harder with each subsequent level.
• The best weapon in the hotbar is now taken into account when spawning an Elite Mob
• Removed a few dead config options
• Other smaller fixes and tweaks
