10.9.4

• Fix the Capture spell not saving custom entity data in 1.20.5+
• Fix recent versions of 1.21.1 being broken with a ton of skull-related spam (thanks, alekso56!)
• Fix using map ids over 64k (thanks, YanisBft!)
• Fix custom maps in 1.20.5+

10.9.3

• Fix item crafting in 1.20.5+ The root cause of this issue were items created by the plugin having an extra "damage" component added to them, which causes the items to be different than a standard vanilla item. The fix is to not set item durability unless it's being set to something other than zero. Hoping for no side-effects.

10.9.2

• Fix setting item flags (for hiding vanilla lore) in 1.20.5+
• Fix item lore (setting lore components via JSON was broken) in 1.20.5+

10.9.1

• Support for Minecraft 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1
• DROP support for arbitrary NBT tags on items. This was the item_name{tag: ...} format. Now only CustomModelData and custom_model_data are supported, as well as the {12345} shortcut syntax.

Developer's note:
Thank you for your patience!

This was an exceptionally difficult update for me, while I don't have much time to work on Magic anymore.

I'm hoping it'll be smoother going from here on.

I am still considering maing a new version that relies more on API so these kinds of breaking updates won't happen, but I'm not sure if that's going to go anywhere.

I have tested this release as much as I can, but there are likely to still be issues. Please report anything you find to Github Issues.

Quick Note

Support for 1.20.5 is looking like it's going to be pretty complex. I'm going to take some time to weigh my options, but unfortunately it may be a little while before there is a working version of Magic for 1.20.5

Thank you for your patience!

• Nether and end portal blocks added to the indestructible list
• Forked the extramobs example to use a new URL, remove mob spawners

Additions

Happy New Year!

As foretold in the prophecies, 10.5 had some bugs. This one still might, but I'm hoping it is working.

While I was on vacation, Spigot apparently decided to pull a sneaky on me and change the internals of their configuration code in a way that broke Magic.

If you are on latest 1.18.1 you will need to update the plugin or it will be broken!

Otherwise you may want to skip this version since it has not been extensively tested.

Tech note: The issue was with "override_properties" on paths, so if you are using that in your custom configs you would've been affected as well.

We are back with another huge update!

Just the one hotfix. You may not need this, but it's also a safe update.

If you have been getting "StackOverflowError" when holding certain wand items, this should fix those errors.

Fixes

• Fix the resource pack not sending on join
• Mine will mine deepslate ores (1.16+)
• The slimefun example RP updated, will continue to update going forward
• Attempt to resolve issues that occurred due to using /mconfig editor and having the default configs copied into your custom configs. This seems to be the main issue a lot of people were having with the enchantment table.

• Nerf Light Arrow

Additions

• Add end_commands arena option
• Aggro and mob arena aggro options improved in 1.17+ via pathfinding goals
• Add level_spells_to_path wand option, used in example wands to level up spells to an appropriate level
• Add support for custom ender signals (1.17+) - see diamondsignal elworld example spell
• Add ModifyCompass action (1.17+), will turn a compass into a lodestone compass with a custom target location - see tracker
• Add aware mob flag (1.17+), works like ai but they can still move

AureliumSkills

• Mana use turned back on by default, with a 75% mana cost reduction applied to all spells (configurable)

Additions

• Add portal-spell and portal-warp WorldGuard flags, for making custom portals
• Add maintain_direction option to Teleport,Recall and Warp actions
• Add archer example magic bow
• Add disasters external example from Phantom (creator of extramobs)
• Add target_highest option to Cover actions

• Fix right-clicking a mob with a wand causing a spell cast

Changes

• Sound FX volume cut to 50% by default in survival configs (adjust sound_volume if desired)

I decided to release the current dev build as a hotfix, it's mostly fixes though there are some new features in there, I didn't think it was worth separating them out.

This release is mainly here because, as it turns out, AureliumSkills mana integration being on by default was just a really bad idea, given that AS caps mana out at 20. If you want to use AS mana it's probably going to take a lot of re-working on one side or the other.

Fixes

• The undo_on_world_save option is now off by default

Additions

• Added block_actions and biome_actions maps to CheckBlock action, for easier biome and block type reactions
• Added camohelmet, camochestplate, camoleggings and camoboots items, a set of biome-adaptive camoflage armor. Like the rainbow armor, these are currently not craftable
• Light brush added to Conduit path (1.17+)
• Add FindMagicBlocks action, for targeting magic block locations
• Add sound_volume global config option, for adjusting all sound effect volume
• Add dialog_face_player: false mob option

Additions

• Add block_broken trigger and target type
• Add allow_all: false Recall option, to make available options a whitelist instead of blacklist
• Add worlds list to kit configs, for starter kits that only apply when joining a specific world

• The close_wand_on_world_change option is now true by default if PerWorldInventory is detected, and also applies to game mode changes.
• Wands now show instructions in lore while the wand inventory is open. This causes wands to "bounce" when opening them. If you don't like that effect, set wand.inventory_open to "" in messages
• Clicks on wands in the spell inventory behavior changed slightly to better support creative mode
• Shop and Selector default messages are now different, base selector messages may need localization
• Default wand item flags changed to hide dye color. Add an item_flags list to your wand config if you don't want that.

Welcome to 1.17!
This was an extremely challenging update for me, as i think it probably was for many other devs relying on NMS calls. The future looks bright, though, I'm hoping updates will be cleaner and much easier in the future.

However, it is now the case that Magic is guaranteed to need an update on every minor Minecraft release. This is an unfortunate trade-off, as previously Magic usually only needed to be updated on major releases, but would more or less continue to function for the most part.

I'll be continuing to work out how best to push forward, but for now I think we are good to go! Happy axolotl hunting

1.17 Support

• Deprecated spell classes removed:
  • LevitateSpell
  • ProjectileSpell
  • ShapeSpell
  • AlterSpell
• Non-functional hologram functionality removed
• Known Issues:
  • NPCs might duplicate, this should fix itself eventually

1.17-Only Changes and Additions

• NOTE: Changes requiring modern Minecraft API use may now sometimes only work on Minecraft 1.17 and up. This is a trade-off for now, to avoid dropping backwards compatibility alltogether.
• Hex color support in all messages in-game using an &#AA22FF format
• Add save spell to engineering configs (unobtainable, only on Wolf staff), for saving schematics) [WIP]
• Add geode schematic to engineering configs

• Add prevent_teleport mob option, and a contained_enderman mob for arena battles
• Add use_parent_target_location and use_parent_source_location ChangeContext options
• Add teleport_target Recall option
• Add burning flag to disguises
• The /mgive command will drop item on the ground if the player's inventory is full
• Add wands_break_hanging config option, so you can disable paintings and item frames breaking while holding a wand
• Add target_permission parameter, requiring a player/entity to have a specific permission in order to target them
• Enchanting wands with books follows vanilla rules, allows multiple enchantments
• Nerf mutant mobs a bit
• Add /mnpc clean command for cleaning up unkillable mobs orphaned from their NPC
• Add interact_requires_owner mob property, so mobs right-click action only works for their owner

This release fixes just one bug that's been causing people not using the builtin configs nor their own classes a lot of trouble.

The current dev builds (Magic 9.0-SNAPSHOT) have 1.17 support but are not quite ready for release yet: https://jenkins.elmakers.com/job/MagicPlugin/ use with caution!

Thank you for your patience!

As the prophecy foretold, there were still quite a few load order integration issues.

Most notably protection plugin integrations such as Towny, PreciousStones and GriefPrevention were all broken. As was Skript integration.

Really it seems like more was broken than not.

Sorry about that!

# 8.6.1

- Fix Skript, GriefPrevention, PreciousStones, RedProtect, Heroes, SkillAPI and possibly other plugin integrations

I have been intending to work on the RPG configs, I think they're going to be really fun and bring a lot of new features to Magic.

However I keep getting really wrapped up in bug fixes and optimizations, both of which are great, but definitely not as fun.

In particular, I made a change to Magic a while back that has been a huge headache. Specifically this was to set the plugin to load at server startup. This was to facilitate world generation, but has caused a lot of issues, particularly integrating with other plugins.

I'm hoping I have that all fixed now, plus a few other good fixes, optimizations and new features. Please let me know via github or Discord if you continue to have issues. Thank you!

## Changes

• The "drop" key is now bound to toggling the inventory by default (rather than cycling hotbars, use the swap key for that)
• The blaster recipes in the stars configs were changed to use sticks instead of oak wood planks
• RecallAction won't apply protection until after teleporting, this fixes cancel_on_damage not working for recall
• Removed protection_duration from gather to avoid griefing
• Copying/building container contents now restricted to Conduit path
• Skript cast effect can now work with entities, not just players
• Custom lore on wands will udpate when given, instead of having to be held first
• Optimize equation parsing, particularly for servers with a lot of custom attributes
• Optimize message and command replacement. This may have changed behavior slightly, in particular if you have replacements up against text such as "$target_manaMP" you may need to change it to "$target_mana$MP" (enclose the placeholder)
• The /mage clear command will now also remove wands from a player's ender chest

## Additions

• Added disable_anvil and disable_enchanting, turn off anvil and enchantment table completely
• Add attributes: armor, target_armor, luck, target_luck, attack_damage, knockback_resistance, target_knockback_resistance

• Add virtual_book parameter to Book action
• Add support for /mgive egg:<mob>, same result as /mmob egg <mob>

• Add max_spells property to classes and wands, can be used to limit the number of spells a player may learn
• Add spawner properties: check_radius, vertical_check_radius and check_floor, for controlling
  how spawners check for free space. May be needed if spawning ghasts, spiders or other large mobs.
• Add block and stop_block triggers, for blocking with a shield
• Add book_item parameter to Book action, for showing a specific saved book
• Add clear_target parameter to MoveBlock action, so it can be used to copy blocks

• Fix the /mnpc command command to allow spaces in the command
• Fix errors loading saved items on older versions of Spigot

Apologies for any inconvenience!

8.4.1

Fix reloading configs setting SP earn cooldown to zero for all online players

8.4

Kits

• Item kits can now be configured in the kits configuration
• Kits can be set as:
  • starter: Given on time on join
    
  • keep: Given every join if players don't have the items

Changes

• Resource packs now all come from a different URL. The S3 links may stop working at some point in the future,
  so it is a good idea to update if you're using your own configured URLs!
• Cast spawn rules no longer force self-targeting, you may need to adjust spells to account for this
• The default resource pack setting is now "auto" instead of "off".
  Use `/mconfig configure config resource_pack_default_auto false` to switch it back off.

• Shop management tool now uses a GUI
• The appraiser shop now sells at 50% like other shops
• Wands will now only show the active spell in their name when the wand is active

• Automata no longer undo all their spell casts when deactivating, use `undo_all: true` inside the `cast` block to change this
• The `/magic load` command will now update all fetched external examples before reloading. Use `/mconfig load` if you want to skip this.

  RIP cool rainbow-striped domes, but I think this will prevent all kinds of accidental mess-ups when copying large builds
• Updated builtin Spanish translation (`/mconfig language ES`), thanks ChrisTVH!
• Added `magic-tags` WorldGuard flags, should be used in place of `spawn-tags` though the latter still works
• Brooms are no longer bound. Use `/mconfig configure wand broomstick bound true` to turn this back on.
• The Gather spell is now disabled by default. If you want to re-enable it, go ahead, but I can't support it anymore.
• Items can now have a `name` and `lore` specified in messages.yml, so they can be localized
• Mobs can have a `name` specified in messages.yml
• Spell book spell icons glow
• Removed the destructible2 and destructible3 lists, most spells break all solid blocks by default
• Wands will not trigger right-click actions if a shield or torch is in the offhand (/mconfig editor material offhand)

  Night's original dragons are still present but will spawn much less frequently (in spawnmobs configs) and renamed to "big__dragon"
• Add `jutsu` example (Naruto jutsus, thanks to Tof!)
• Added 3 more survival spells (thanks to Phantom)
• sunstrike, soulburn and vengeance
• Add warp option to selectors

• Add allowed_enchantments, blocked_enchantments and slot parameters to CheckInventory, for checking on a specific inventory slot

- Kits can be set as:
starter: Given on time on join
keep: Given every join if players don't have the items
remove: Taken away on join if players are no longer allowed to use the kit
partial: If a starter kit has changed, players will be given the difference on join
- Kits can have requirements, such as permissions or attributes
- Kits can have cooldowns
- The `/mkit` command can be used to give kits
- Kits can be given in spells via the GiveKit action

## Fixes

- Fix flying mob spawns and nether mob spawns in `spawnmobs` example
- Fix some forms of configuring an AreaOfEffectCloud
The potion effect duration now defaults to the same duration as the cloud itself
- Fix chest populator (`chests` example), which I think was never working
- Fix mobs overrunning the other side and nether side (hopefully)
- Fix losing armor on death while cloaked

## Changes

- Resource packs now all come from a different URL. The S3 links may stop working at some point in the future,
so it is a good idea to update if you're using your own configured URLs!
- Cast spawn rules no longer force self-targeting, you may need to adjust spells to account for this
- The default resource pack setting is now "auto" instead of "off".
Use `/mconfig configure config resource_pack_default_auto false` to switch it back off.
- "Not enough mana" messages will now show by default (unless your wand is set to silent)
- Shop management tool now uses a GUI
- The appraiser shop now sells at 50% like other shops
- Wands will now only show the active spell in their name when the wand is active
- Automata can not have overlapping casts, use `allow_overlap: true` inside the `cast` block to change this
- Automata no longer undo all their spell casts when deactivating, use `undo_all: true` inside the `cast` block to change this
- The `/magic load` command will now update all fetched external examples before reloading. Use `/mconfig load` if you want to skip this.
- Brushes can no longer be modified in the middle of a cast.
RIP cool rainbow-striped domes, but I think this will prevent all kinds of accidental mess-ups when copying large builds
- Updated builtin Spanish translation (`/mconfig language ES`), thanks ChrisTVH!
- Added `magic-tags` WorldGuard flags, should be used in place of `spawn-tags` though the latter still works
- Brooms are no longer bound. Use `/mconfig configure wand broomstick bound true` to turn this back on.
- The Gather spell is now disabled by default. If you want to re-enable it, go ahead, but I can't support it anymore.
- Items can now have a `name` and `lore` specified in messages.yml, so they can be localized
- Mobs can have a `name` specified in messages.yml
- Spell book spell icons glow
- Removed the destructible2 and destructible3 lists, most spells break all solid blocks by default
- Wands will not trigger right-click actions if a shield or torch is in the offhand (/mconfig editor material offhand)

This release fixes a single bug in 8.3 and 8.3.1 where spell levels would get lost or act strangely on wands when spells level up.

This bug only affects wands that store spell levels themselves (so not any of the builtin configs, which use classes).

Cast counts were not affected, so my hope is that if this bug hit you, your players only need to cast their spells a few times to get them to all re-upgrade back where they were. I apologize for any inconvenience!

Dragons!

New boss mobs, will spawn randomly if you're using the "spawnmobs" example with survival. Much thanks to Night for donating these to the plugin!

NOTE: The dragons require both the resource pack and the (Free and excellent!) LibsDisguises plugin (which itself requires ProtocolLib)



Note that they are works in progress and will be tweaked and improved over time.

## Important Migration Notes

• The builtin economy was rebalanced, prices of items may have changed. There is no "revert" example to undo this one, but contact me if you need the old prices.
  
• Colored leather armor *must* use a # in the color code to differentiate between damage, e.g.
  `/mgive leather_chestplate:#002233`

• Use `/mgive shoptoken` to recipe a shop token
• Use the shop token to create a shopkeeper NPC and recipe a shop tool to manage your shop
• Use the shop tool on a chest to set the chest for the shopkeeper to use
• Profit!
• Note: the economy was rebalanced, prices were added to most, but not all, items. If an item does not have a price assigned it will not appear in a player shop.
• There is not currently a way for players to set their own prices

## Boss Bar Support

• Added BossBar action, see the countdown spell for an example https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/tree/master/Magic/src/examples/elworld/spells/countdown.yml
• Add boss_bar spell configuration, allows spells to show in the boss bar while they are active

• Turn off "undo on world save" feature in world_other to avoid automata self-destructing on save

• Add `critical_probability` and `critical_damage_multiplier` parameters to Damage action
• Added new builtin attributes: target_health, target_health_max, epoch, air, air_max, target_air, target_air_max, hunger, target_hunger

Happy Holidays!

Build a skating rink out of ice and then use /mnpc add skater for some festive fun!

Optimizations

This build contains many, many optimizations: memory leaks plugged, synchronous chunk loads eliminated (on Paper), hard entity references removed.

MagicWorlds Merged

• Magic can now customize world generation and mob spawning without needing MagicWorlds
• Configs go into the worlds folder, and follow the same format as MagicWorlds (though newer easier formats are available!)
  • Spawn rules can now use weighted probability maps
  • Spawn rules can have a priority, don't need to rely on key order
  • Spawn rules can target multiple entity types
• There is editor support, just like the rest of Magic configs
• Fix issues with NPCs and Automata getting lost if in unloaded worlds

• Replace rules can specify special directives:
  • Use stop to stop further processing,
  • Use remove to just remove a mob without replacing
• Fix several issues with mob spawning in MagicWorlds

The Nether Side

This version includes a new example, netherside. This is like a fine-tuned version of the "other side" configs specifically for 1.16 servers. It takes advantage of the new nether biomes, mobs and block types to make a "netherized" version of the overworld:




Crafting improvements

• Allow using vanilla: true to easily override a vanilla recipe (just set the output to a vanilla item type)
  • Does not remove the default recipe from players' knowledge book (not sure if that's possible)
    
  • Does not work with vanilla recipes that have multiple possible ingredients (e.g. different wood variants)
• Add locked option for recipes, to prevent crafting by default
  
• Add craftable list to classes, specifying locked recipes that class may craft
  
• The disable_default option for recipes now works again, letting you replace vanilla crafting recipes

Fixes

• Fix support for wildcard brushes (use with SuperReplace to replace stairs, fences, etc in-place)
• Fix spell inventory issues when using the ajParkour plugin

• Added WildStacker integration to avoid stacking Magic Mobs (or any custom-spawned mob).
• Broomsticks will now put a temporary "broomstick handle" item in the player's inventory so the slot doesn't get taken up by new items and the broomstick has nowhere to go when finished
• Improved Recall-to-bed behavior
• Improved support for persistent mobs (in 1.14 and up)
• Add land trigger and fall_distance attribute, can be used for landing actions, scaled by fall distance (ground pound!)

• Add rain option to Weather action

- Fix compatibility with older versions of LibsDisguises

- Fix releasing player data locks on shutdown, causing warnings on next login
- Fix lightsaber appearances in legacy MC versions
- Allow crafting a magic sword with a damaged netherite sword
- Fix /mnpc player command
- Fix OP damage of Magic Bow regular arrows

A big new batch of features!

Migration Notes

• There was an off-by-one error in the Skip action. I'm hoping this won't have a big impact, but if this has messed up the timing of your spells I apologize! You will need to increase the skip parameter by one, the action was skipping once more than it should have been.
• PlayEffects and PlaySound no longer give cast credit. Use effects_count_as_cast: true to change this back
• Added active_wand target to ModifyProperties, won't switch wands by default
• The following wand properties were removed, and had been broken for a while- use potion_effects instead: health_regeneration, hunger_regeneration, haste

Major Changes

• Reworked broomstick:
  • Crafting now requires a phantom membrane instead of an elytra
    
  • Brooms start out slightly faster
    
  • The broom skill now only increases duration and handling

  • Wizard boots cost 2x magic hearts, grant speed boost
• Reworking wand buffs
  • Wand buffshop removed for now.
    
  • Will be replaced by something else in the future
    
  • Players that have purchased wand protection will get to keep it for now, but my plan is to remove it in the future and reimburse them in some way.
    
  • If you want, you can set up an NPC using the wanddebuffs spell if you'd like players to be able to refund the protection they bought. I am concerned about the possibility of abuse if players have been able to duplicate wands, though.
  • The magic sword is now enchantable
• Builtin Magic Mobs Nerfed (mostly just reduced health)

Other Changes of Note

8.0 was such a major update that I'm going to continue pasting the update info here, at least until 8.1

Welcome to Magic 8.0!



Note: some of these changes may only apply to modern (1.16+) versions of Spigot. Versions back to 1.9 are still supported though!

If you are using the builtin survival configuration, it is very important that you read these notes!

At the very least, please read the following migration notes:

Migration Notes Copied Here PLEASE READ!

• If you would like to upgrade, but keep things mostly the same as in previous versions of Magic, add
  example: 7
  to your plugins/Magic/config.yml file before updating.
  
• Default survival crafting recipes changed dramatically!
• Resource pack sending is now off by default. Set this in config.yml to re-enable:
  resource_pack_default_auto: true
• All players' resource pack preferences will be reset and stick to the defaults until they use the /getrp command
  
• There is a new resource pack structure that uses custom model data instead of damage values.
  
• If you need to use a resource pack with damage values but are using the builtin configs, you can
  add legacy_icons_enabled: true to your config.yml
  This will be automatically added if you're not on 1.16
  
• If you have been using Magic's RP combined with your own, you can use the merge tool to combine them at https://merge.elmakers.com
• The Magic Sword recipe name has changed from battle to magicsword
  This is important if you've disabled the recipe, please update your crafting.yml!
  
• The allow_passthrough parameter of the Teleport action is now false by default. You may need to tweak any custom spell configs using that action accordingly.
  
• Wands with interval casts are no longer cost-free, set cast_interval_cost_free: true to put this back.
• Removed add_uses path parameter. You can use uses to add uses to a wand via a path.
  
• Disabled spell inventory quick-casting (using the drop button) by default.
  You can turn this back on with allow_inventory_casting: true but it is not recommended on modern MC versions, since you'll also get a cast of the main spell.
  
• Configuration files will now be read out of plugins/Magic/examples, please take care if you have files in that folder for some reason.

Now, with that out of the way!

I'm very excited to bring you the biggest update to Magic in years!

Major changes, the tl;dr version:

• Survival crafting recipes all changed, made more accessible for early-game players
• Resource pack changed, all spell icons now use vanilla items so players who don't use the resource pack can still easily use wands

This Hotfix for 8.0 fixes the following issues:

• Fix Secure spell
  • Previously secured containers should be unlockable if you summon a new key
    
  • Aim up and cast Secure
• Fix "language" config option
• Fix loading inherited examples direcrtly (e.g. `/mconfig example set 7`)
• Fix Cloak instantly turning off at beginner rank
• Fix arrows from Arrow spell being able to be picked up

8.0 was such a major update that I'm going to continue pasting the update info here, at least until 8.1


Welcome to Magic 8.0!



Note: some of these changes may only apply to modern (1.16+) versions of Spigot. Versions back to 1.9 are still supported though!

If you are using the builtin survival configuration, it is very important that you read these notes!

At the very least, please read the following migration notes:

Migration Notes Copied Here PLEASE READ!

• If you would like to upgrade, but keep things mostly the same as in previous versions of Magic, add
  example: 7
  to your plugins/Magic/config.yml file before updating.
  
• Default survival crafting recipes changed dramatically!
• Resource pack sending is now off by default. Set this in config.yml to re-enable:
  resource_pack_default_auto: true
• All players' resource pack preferences will be reset and stick to the defaults until they use the /getrp command
  
• There is a new resource pack structure that uses custom model data instead of damage values.
  
• If you need to use a resource pack with damage values but are using the builtin configs, you can
  add legacy_icons_enabled: true to your config.yml
  This will be automatically added if you're not on 1.16
  
• If you have been using Magic's RP combined with your own, you can use the merge tool to combine them at https://merge.elmakers.com
• The Magic Sword recipe name has changed from battle to magicsword
  This is important if you've disabled the recipe, please update your crafting.yml!
  
• The allow_passthrough parameter of the Teleport action is now false by default. You may need to tweak any custom spell configs using that action accordingly.
  
• Wands with interval casts are no longer cost-free, set cast_interval_cost_free: true to put this back.
• Removed add_uses path parameter. You can use uses to add uses to a wand via a path.
  
• Disabled spell inventory quick-casting (using the drop button) by default.
  You can turn this back on with allow_inventory_casting: true but it is not recommended on modern MC versions, since you'll also get a cast of the main spell.
  
• Configuration files will now be read out of plugins/Magic/examples, please take care if you have files in that folder for some reason.

Now, with that out of the way!

I'm very excited to bring you the biggest update to Magic in years!

Major changes, the tl;dr version:

Magic 8.0 is Coming!

The next release of Magic (barring any important hotfixes between now and then) will be a pretty big change.

If you want to get ahead of the ball, check out the migration notes or the changelog. There will be some rebalancing of the survival configs, as well as a major change to how the resource pack works. If you have a custom RP that includes Magic items you may want to take a look!

Magic 8.0 will still support all Spigot versions back to 1.9.3

Changelog for 7.11

• Fix resource_pack_default_auto config option (won't change anything except for new players though)
• Fix potter wands not activating right away after opening the box
• Give the divinghelmet item night vision
• Fix broomstick dismount behavior when the duration expires
• Fix sharpness buff being allowed on a wand
• Fix ModifyEntity changing mob types to zombies unintentionally
• Fix getting recipe books with a single recipe, add tab-completion
• A "deactivate" action handler can be added to perform actions when a spell is toggled off
• Add Levitate level 6, conduit-only, works like Superfly
• Add glow option to appearance menu
• Prevent NPCs from burning

This is kind of a big one!

I've been wanting to add basic NPCs to Magic for a long while. I find them very useful for spell shops and simple tutorials, and I hate having to rely on Citizens for that.

Don't get me wrong, Citizens is great and I love it. If you're happy with it, then keep using it! But for my dev servers, it is often the plugin that makes me have to wait before I can update.

I also really don't like how the NPCs can get moved around and trapped underground, or how the text dialog works when multiple players are standing near an NPC.

So, personally, I am no longer beholden to Citizens NPCs.

Magic NPCs are very simple by comparison, but can do most basic NPC things. There is not pathing right now, so they can only stay in one place. But they can cast spells, run commands, talk to players. I use disguises instead of fake players.

And finally Citizens NPCs can all be converted to Magic NPCs with one simple command.

This release also has a lot of improvements to the Recall spell, including allowing players to level up and earn multiple markers, as well as letting you arrange how the warps look.

Full changelog:

• Magic NPCs
  • Manage via new /mnpc command
  • Lightweight replacement for simple use-cases of Citizens
    
  • Can import from Citizens
    
  • Can run spells and commands, talk to nearby players
    
  • Can do anything Magic Mobs can do
    
  • Add dialog scripts in-game using written books
    
  • Will stay put!
• General improvements to Recall:
  • Allow using an "options" list much like Selector
    
  • Maintain order of "warps" and "commands" map
    
  • Allow for multiple markers
    
  • Add Recall level 4 and 5 to survival configs, 2 and 3 markers respectively.
    
  • Waypoints waiting to be unlocked will now show in the menu (configurable)
• Fix mob triggers not repeating
• Add proper Residence integration
• Fix Skript pre-cast ('on casting of') event
• Fix trinketshop skull icons in 1.16
• Crafting recipes for wizard and apprentice armor are now disabled by default
• Bypass permissions are no longer applied to ops by default.
  I changed this to reduce confusion about when protection is and is not working.
  If you prefer to bypass, give yourself the "Magic.bypass" permission.
• Allow using titles and other escape prefixes in resoure_pack.sending message
• Set persist:false on broomsticks and entity projectiles, hoping they won't stick around
• Add "split" flag for slime mobs, to prevent them from splitting. Add "cube" mob to survival.
• Add "/mwarp list" command
• Improvements to making sure data files don't get wiped
• Use chunk ticket API for performance improvements in large construction and undo tasks in unloaded areas
• Automaton will no longer force-load chunks
• Some fixes to undoing spells on world save, to prevent leftover spell changes
• Fix firework action (e.g. stun spell) bypassing pvp restriction
• Fix projectile target_self_timeout always turning on self-targeting
• Fix arenas example "battle" sword, it was supposed to have abilities
• Add target_potion_effects and ignore_potion_effects parameters,
  for spells that only target entities with specific potion effects applied
• Allow wand overrides to work with sections, such as "requirement.permission somepermission"
• Add "requirement" option to CheckRequirements, for using a single requirement instead of a list
• Add permission_teams option for permission-based friendly fire grouping
• Fix an exploit that could be used to place water in the nether
• Fix exploit duplicating treasure loot, though containers will stay on the indestructible list for now
• Add "casted" event for Skript, StartCastEvent for API

Hotfix for players not getting items from shops. That is all. Sorry bout that!

NOTE: There is currently a bug in Spigot where items saved prior to 1.16 that have vanilla attributes (attack strength, attack speed, etc) will not load in 1.16.

There's nothing I can do about this until it is fixed on the Spigot side, so if you have a lot of saved items you may want to wait on updating.

I have re-created the emerald sword for 1.16 which is the only way to fix the problem.

- 1.16.1 support
- The emerald sword is no longer unbreakable (in 1.16 and up only)
- All builtin mobs using zombie pigmen changed to husks (RIP)
- Add support for class-locked armor
- Add "interact" mob trigger for more advanced right-click functionality
- Prevent putting wands into a grindstone
- Fix wands disappearing under certain circumstances when dropped.
However, they will drop now under those same circumstances. It's the best I could do!
- Add "undoable" material list, for tweaking the undo system (e.g. excluding fire from undo)
- Put "collapse" spell back in survival configs (whoops, sorry!)
- Add support for dyed leather horse armor

Important: Like automata before it, e ngineering is no longer included in the survival configs. You can add it back in with "examples: engineering" if you still want it.

With the example added, players can now automatically progress up to Architect. Conduit is still locked behind the conduitshop though.

• Moved engineering magic into a separate example
• Add left_click_sneak, right_click_sneak, drop_sneak and swap_sneak wand actions
• The "examples" list in config.yml can now be put on a single line
• Fix log spam when swinging a wand that has no active spell
• Fix mana not saving properly on droppable wands
• Fix Colloportus in 1.14+
• Add require_mana_percentage parameter to CheckMana action
• Add item_count parameter to GiveItem action so it can be used with variables
• Fix dupe bug/exploit with the swap key
• Fix simple potion_effect maps

IMPORTANT: if you're using the "block monster" automata in the survival configs you will now need to include them separately in config.yml, like

• EffectLib effects can now take "forever" as a duration and "random" as a color
• The Cast action supports "console: true" to cast as the console (take care with this)
• Add "persist" and "invulnerable" flags to mob configs, for proto-npcs
• Add "tags" parameter to ApplyCooldown action, for applying cooldowns to all spells with a one or more specific tags
• Fix glitches with broomsticks leveling up
• Include offhand and armor slots when checking/removing items from a player's inventory
• Moved automata into a separate example.

- Fix gamemode targeting that was broken in 7.9.4
- Action parameters no longer inherit from parent actions to child actions. See MIGRATION.md for more info.

- Fix some items showing as "not trained" by mistake
- Added ClearInventory action
- Add "mwarp send" command, for using the builtin warp system from the console, NPCs or command blocks
- Spells will only target survival and adventure mode players. This can be controlled with the target_game_modes parameter.

This release has a new passive/triggered spell system that I think opens the door to a lot of really cool possibilities. I am particularly interested in using it in the upcoming "RPG" (D&D-style) configs.

For now, there are just two new passives added to the survival configs:

• Aqualung: Available at the Beginner level, this gives you an extra breath of air right as you start to drown
• Critical: Available at the Apprentice level, this gives you a random chance to deal bonus damage whenever you use a damaging spell

Passive spells can be obtained in the enchantment table spell shop just like any other spell.

They will appear in your spell inventory, but instead of being castable they can be toggled on and off. When on they will engage automatically when needed.

You do not need to be holding a wand for passive effects to be active.

For some more examples of what can be done with passives, see here:

https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/wiki/Passive-and-Triggered-Spells

Expect to see a lot more of these in the future!

Full Changelog For This Release:

• Passive spell system!
  • Add "triggers" option to a spell, it can be auto-cast under various circumstances
    
  • Add "passive" flag for spells that can not be directly cast but still show up in the spell inventory
    
  • Add CheckTrigger action to make a spell see if a trigger has been activated since the spell started
    
  • See here for examples: https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/tree/master/Magic/src/examples/elworld/spells/passives
    
  • Survival passives added: Aqualung, Critical
• Add RemoveSpell action

• Add "direction", "use_target" and "set_target" parameters to CheckBlock action, for easily checking the block under your feet
• Fix some consistency issues with the "target_self" parameter
• Add "target_mount" parameter (false by default) so spells won't kill your horse
• Fix Dragonball not earning SP on hit
• Add more detailed support for potion effect lists in PotionEffect action

• Allow using "examples" instead of "add_examples" in config.yml
• Add "air: max" option to AirSupply action
• Additional customization options for time and range displays in spell lore
• Added ResetMage action, "reset" spell for player reset GUI

Firstly, please, one important note:

Non-action spells have been mostly deprecated for long long time, with a few exceptions for engineering spells like Fill and SuperXXXX that are currently difficult to reproduce with actions.

I am going to start to remove these deprecated spell classes. If you have been using them in your custom configs you should've been seeing warnings in your server logs for a while now.

To see if you are in trouble, just search your startup logs for the line " is using a deprecated spell class"

In all cases it should be simple to replace them with actions, using the survival configs for reference. It's often a one-to-one replacement, though with some spells (like FrostSpell) you may have to combine a few actions to get the same effect (ModifyBlock + AOE/Damage/PotionEffect).

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, I generally try to never remove anything from this plugin but I think in this case the time has come.

Now.. on to all of the huge number of exciting changes in this build!

• RecallSpell was removed, use RecallAction instead.
  • Take note of all the deprecated spells you're using (basically any "class: something" in your main spell properties)
    
  • These are all old, before the action system, and have been deprecated for years
    
  • They will show in logs in startup
    
  • They WILL be removed in future versions!
  • The exception being engineering magic. Look for "is using a deprecated spell class" in your startup logs.
• Add support for %placeholders% in spell, wand and class parameters
• Add ModifyVariable action, adding concept of user-defined variables that can be used in spell parameters
  • Use $variable in a spell parameter, command, or message
    
  • You can also use @variable in commands for an integer version (rounding down)
• Add "variables" requirement
• Fix potter wand boxes not properly turning into a wand (icon wasn't working)
• Potter wand boxes now open on right-click
• Fix missing IMPORTANT headers in defaults files
• Add TakeCosts action
• Add "use_mode" wand property, which can be one of: success, precast, always. This replaces "preuse".
• Fix spells being unable to cancel themselves (e.g. cancel_on_death)
• Fix swapping a wand or gun into the offhand restoring its ammo or mana
• Add upgrade levels to Smite
• Add "height" requirement
• Add several builtin attributes: health, health_max, time, moon, location_x, location_y, location_z, level, xp, mana, mana_max

This release brings a long-asked-for feature, the ability to store player data in SQL databases. Currently SQLite, MySQL and Postgres are supported. I've only tested SQLite so far, though.

SQL Player Data Storage

If you choose to switch how your player data is stored (Yaml files are still the default), please make sure to backup any existing player data first!

Read the documentation carefully, player data can be auto-migrated seamlessly.

If you have a multi-server setup this may work very well for you, there is a locking mechanism that ensures players moving from one server to the other have their data saved and loaded in the correct order to prevent data loss.

In-Game Customization

Configuration files can now be adjusted in-game! In particular this will allow you to easily disable spells, wands or anything else with one quick command.

Please read the documentation linked below if you're interested in this feature, or just type /mconfig in-game (or in the server console) and try it out!

Changelog:

• Add in-game customization commands (/mconfig enable|disable|configure)
  • See: https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/wiki/In-Game-Customization
• Add support for storing player data in MySQL, Postgres or SQLite
  • See: https://github.com/elBukkit/MagicPlugin/wiki/Player-Data-Storage
• Fix broken undo for some blocks with extended data
• Fix broom offset problem in MC version 1.12 and below
• Fix sword-based wands having broken icons in 1.12 and below

• Add magic_sp, magic_spell_count, magic_mana and magic_mana_max Placeholders
• More graceful handling of invalid wand icons
• Add "/mage skin" command, which dumps a block of text you can put in a "skin" property of a player disguise
• Add "ironman" mob to survival configs (as an example of using a stored skin)

# 7.7.4

- Hotfix for error in 7.7.3 loading examples that don't inherit (think this only effects sandbox?)

# 7.7.3

- Fix the Wear action in 1.14 (Hat spell, etc)
- Fix the Air Scooter spell in 1.14
- Fix poison arrows not dealing any poison damage
- Fix schematic loading in 1.14 (signs still don't work, not sure that's going to be fixable)
- Fix cat spell in 1.14 (changed to use SpawnEntity action, may work slightly differently)
- Fix progression when using legacy configs (example: 6)
- Fix colored wool, carpet etc in 1.14 using legacy keys (e.g. "carpet:2")

I'm hoping things are mostly stable now, including in 1.14, but please let me know if you're having issues (preferably via github)

- Fix the Fireball spell
- Fix the Admission spell
- Fix setting arrows to allow pickup in 1.14.1
- Fix the Horse spell going on cooldown even if there wasn't enough room for the horse to spawn
- Add "reset_mana_on_activate" wand property, can be used to make items you must hold to charge up

I think most things should be working in 1.14, please report bugs as you find them, if you're brave enough to update your server. For what it's worth, 1.14 currently seems a little unstable to me.

Changelog:
- Fix NMS bindings for 1.14
- Add CheckVelocity action
- Removed Vault-based "fancy" item name feature, since the feature it relied on has been removed from Vault
- The broom item was changed in the resource pack to not have an offset

NOTE: You will need to update to the latest EssentialsX dev build if you want Magic's item integration to work. Otherwise, wait to update Magic!

Changelog:

• Update Essentials ItemDb to latest EssentialsX
  • You will need dev build #721 or higher from: https://ci.ender.zone/job/EssentialsX/
  • You MUST update Essentials if you want Magic item integration to continue to work
  • There was no easy way to keep compatibility with both versions. Sorry!
• Fix icons on selector options using cast_spell with skull-based icons
• Boon changed to only work on caster, avoid strange behavior when turned off
• Fix boon not levelling up
• The Horse spell requires empty space, to avoid exploits
• Add Horse spell to Apprentice path
• Fix the anvil spell
• Errors in warnings in logs will be colored to stand out. This can be turned off with `colored_logs: false" in config.yml
• Fix support for map items in 1.13.2

The last build had a nasty bug in it that would interfere with the timing of many spells.

This also fixes compatibility with the current (du jour) builds of WorldGuard.

• Some fixes to work with latest WorldGuard/WorldEdit
• Fix bug from 7.1.16 that makes construction spells take longer to build
• Tone down particles on shell and blob because apparently Mojang doesn't like fixing things they broke. But hey, pandas, amirite?
• Fix some issues with strength (damage multipliers)

Dev builds from here on are going to be 8.0 snapshots, which will be for 1.13 and up only.

I plan on keeping both versions maintained for as long as I can, but there are starting to be a few bugs creeping in that are too difficult to fix for 1.13 in a backwards-compatible way so I think it's finally time to branch.

Changelog

• Fix some hangs that could happen when using an infinite Repeat action
• Fix using `repeat: infinite`
• Add `offhand` parameter for mobs holding offhand items
• Allow RP links to include redirects. This may fix some issues using Dropbox to host RPs.
• Glide will register a flight exemption with NCP

I hate when I find a really bad bug just moments after releasing!

Sadly this one has been here a while, but I didn't notice it until now.

The issue is that WorldGuard, Factions and other build/break/pvp plugin integrations will stop working after using the "/magic load" command. Pretty terrible, sorry!

You can now give players Knowledge Books (in 1.13) containing any custom Magic crafting recipes. When a player uses these books, the recipes are added to their recipe book.

Changelog:

• Add "as_percentages" parameter to CheckHealth action, to use percentages instead of raw health values.
• Add "/mgive recipe:wand" (or "recipe:*") item style, for giving recipe knowledge books (1.13 only)

- Some more fixes to spellshop progression
- Action parameters embedded in the "actions" tree no longer inherit down to child actions
This is possibly a breaking change, though only if you've set up your actions in kind of a strange way.
- Fix projectiles not passing through tall grass in 1.13
- Fix brushmod when using the Brush action (fixes the Projector spell)
- Fixes to ignore plugins that fail to start up (should fix issues with LibsDisguises in 1.13)

Oops! Found a nasty EffectLib bug right after releasing 7.6.7.

Support/Fixes for 1.13 (Mostly functional but maybe still risky!)

Known issues:

• Block undo doesn't properly restore certain block states (sign/torch/door direction, for instance)
• Bed in Tent schematic is broken

Inching our way towards a robust RPG system!

• Add entity_attributes support to mage classes (e.g. classes can grant additional health, attack speed, etc)
• Add health_scale property to mage classes for scaled health display

There were a few potentially breaking changes. Note that there may be issues downgrading to a previous version, if you need to rollback please make sure to go to 7.4.4.

  • Defaults are mostly empty but load the survival example by default

NOTE: If you are already on a 7.5 snapshot dev build, I do not recommend you upgrade to this release.

I did things a little differently this time, using a proper hotfix branch to keep this release clear of all of the 1.13 support that is going in 7.5.

- Fix Factions integration, add support for Factions safezone (treated as a no-pvp region)
- EffectLib effect parameters can now follow the Magic underscore_format
- Fix wand_undroppable config option not working (though you may want to switch to wand_unstashable)

Sorry for the rapid-fire releases, I rushed to get that last bug fixes (can't believe default progression was completely broken without Vault for so long now!).

Anyway, I made a list-minute change to fix an error someone reported and screwed it up, breaking Selector icons which would've made the progress menu kind of hard to use.

Hopefully things are ok now!

• - Fix broken selector icons.
  - Fix donatorshop.
  - Expanded support for message formatting in wand property lore (stacking, non-stacking, positive/negative)

This is probably the biggest visual overhaul of the plugin in years!

I have updated the visual effects for every single spell in the default survival configs from the Master rank and lower.

Some spells got a much-needed overhaul, but for the most part everything should be functionally identical.

In addition, the default resource pack has been updated with high-res spell icons! Anyone on 7.0 or above using the default RP will see this change immediately.

Much appreciation to the donators that made the purchase of these icons possible!

Another new feature: Magic Bows!



These are available to craft in the default configs. There are not many spells available yet, but I will be adding more over time.

Any spell can be added to a bow wand, though I am making the official Magic Bow a mana-free wand with mostly unique arrow effects and a separate progression path.

Here is an example prototype of a bow that shoots Railgun:



Scroll down below the changelog to see a sampling of the new spell FX- warning, lots of gifs!

IMPORTANT NOTE

7.0 Represents a major change for Magic "under the hood", and is hopefully the beginning of a more flexible framework for the future.

However, this means that the initial release of 7.0 could potentially have issues and should be considered semi-experimental.
I've tried my best to test it as much as I could, but with a plugin as configurable as Magic there is always the possibility
that I've missed some use-case or that it won't work quite right with your configs.

So please, if at all possible, when upgrading to 7.0 do some testing with your configs in a controlled environment, or at least
make sure to backup MC player data and Magic player data first. Note that without backups it will be very difficult to
downgrade from 7.0, as wand data will migrate to player data, and older versions won't know what to do with it.

If you are using completely customized configs there shouldn't be much change, I'm hoping everything will work the same as before.

If you are using the default configs or inheriting from them, everything should appear the same as before. However, things
are going to work a little differently behind the scenes.

Magic is evolving past a custom items and spells plugin, and hopefully will become more like the RPG framework that, I think,
many users have always wanted it to be.

For now what this mainly means is that you can configure how data is stored, instead of it always being stored on the wand items.

The default wands are now set up to store mana, spells and a few other attributes to the owning player. This means that
player progression is now tied to the player, not the wand.

If a player were to craft a new wand, they will see it has their mana and spells on it.

Mana and spells are shared between the Wand, Master Sword and Spell Book, so players are free to mix and match and choose
their own play style without having to re-earn the same spells over and over.

The war configs also make use of this new setup, allowing players to increase their "skill" with certain weapons.

Potter and stars configs have not yet been converted, but they will be, probably in the next release. Mana and spells will be stored in separate classes, so that configs can still be mixed together and make sense.

In the future I hope to expand on all of this with a class system in the new "rpg" configs. This isn't ready yet, however,
but I have been working on these changes for so long, now that they seem functional and stable I wanted to get them out there.

I hope you enjoy! Please let me know if you run into any issues.

• Some technical changes for performance and anti-glitching:
  • Remove several calls to Player.updateInventory
  • Remove unnecessary wand data saving, reducing item bobbing
  • Change casting to use animate event rather than interact event
• Wand inventory, hotbar and brush instructions will now change to reflect wand controls

Bug report: A bug was just reported where left-clicking with a wand on a block will now break that block as if it were a normal item (still respecting build permissions of course). I'll try and get a fix for this when I can, if this sounds like a major problem for you then you may want to skip this version.

The problem is that wands now use the animate event for casting, so they no longer cancel the left-click interact event.

- Fix tile entity support ("log spam") in 1.12.1

That's it. No need to update unless you're on 1.12.1, and even then it was a minor NMS compatibility issue that no one would probably have noticed had there not been log "spam" on startup.

Some of you have noticed that my web/dev/demo/build server is down. Its hard drive died, sadly. I don't know when I'll be able to replace it.

So in the meantime, here's the latest dev build- it should be pretty stable, though there aren't a ton of changes.

- Add new Snake automata
- Defenders are a 50% reflective
- Add max_velocity config option, defaults to 10 but if you're running Paper you may need to change it to 4.
- Fix more glitches with undoing changes to doors (grrrr doors)
- Fix spells in inventory (as items) disappearing when opening/closing wand

I'll be out of town for the next week or so, but I will try to respond to issues as I can. In the meantime, here's a good stable build, with a completely new approach to automata.

• Automata:
  • No longer have hearts, will lose blocks as they are destroyed and eventually die
    
  • Can't be spawned from command blocks, will erase any old command blocks from previous automata
    
  • Added some more name suffixes and prefixes
    
  • Increase spell attack range
• Add support for setting permission nodes on shop items
• Blast and Sticky Bomb use block cracking effects
• Fix hollow Cylinder and Disc casts at larger radii
• Add Ring action (hollow Disc)
• Fix Blink looking broken when casting into the air or out of range

I've been inspired to work on Automata recently, they've been long-neglected but are still one of my favorite things in this plugin.

I've seen a couple of servers actually using them now, which I love, and it's motivated me to improve them. I think with this release they are substantially more useable, safer, fun and challenging.

There are also a few bug fixes and new features in here, so if automata aren't really you're thing it's still worth an update. Most notably:

• Consumable items (potions, food) can be made into "wands" by giving them a spell that will be cast on consumption. Used in defaults for an SP potion, really just an example.
• There is a new command- "/mconfig clean". If you have customized Magic by copy+pasting the defaults and then editing, you may want to run this command. It will reduce your configs to just the changes from current defaults, which you can then inspect. It may be that you are missing out on config-based bug fixes or changes because you have copied older configs that are overriding them!
