Change Log 1.6.8

We have some new features and a few bug fixes

Thirst Bar / Thirst Command

You can now hide the thirst bossbar without disabling thirst - to do so, change use_thirst_bar to false and use_thirst_text = true in the config.yml file



You can instead use /thirst and to see it on-screen



Thirst Notifications

Players will now be alerted on-screen when their thirst goes to 50%, then 20% then 10% (as shown below) - to enable this, set display_thirst_warning to true in the config file



You can now drink from a pool of water on the ground without using a bowl, however, it provides much less to your thirst bar and is significantly more likely to make you sick. You MUST be crouched/sneaking and right click on the water. If you don't want this enabled, set disable_water_hands to false in the config.yml file

PlaceholderAPI Support

You can use the following placeholders:

• %epidemic_thirst% - Gives the thirst amount as a number
• %epidemic_thirst_text% - Gives the thirst amount as text (depending on lang.yml)
• %epidemic_temp_meter% - Shows the thermometer
  
• %epidemic_temp% - Gives the temperature as a number
• %epidemic_ailments% - Lists all the players ailments

as shown below:



It is important to note that to reduce the load on the server, Epidemic only updates its values that are accessible to PlaceholderAPI every 10 seconds. So even if you have a scoreboard that updates every second, it will still be 10 seconds until your values update. You can modify this in the config.yml file (papi_update_time [in seconds - defaults to 10[), however, depending on busy your server is, this could make load a little high as it has to pull values for every online player

Disabling Ailments and Symptoms by world

via the config.yml file..
If you set the worlds in the config.yml file, it will override all ailments, this would be the master list - so for example, if you didn't want any ailments in world_spawn, you could set it up like this:

via the ailments yml files..
If you want to be more selective, you can add the same values per ailment, so for example, if you didn't want bubonic_plague to be active in spawn..you'd put it ONLY in the bubonic_plague.yml file, and you would NOT have it in config.yml

Bug fixes

I won't list them all out, but a number of bug fixes have been corrected

Update Instructions

Backup your existing Epidemic folder (seriously, do this. It shouldn't happen, but I won't be able to help you if you lose data)
Copy the new jar in
Update your config.yml file with the following entries:

And add the following to your lang.yml (if you want to translate at some point - if you don't want to translate, leave them out, it won't hurt anything)
