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
• Added new example configs: spawnmobs, chests, netherside and otherside
• 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
• Fix strange behavior when using a broom while already on a broom
• Fix /getrp url to return the correct URL when a custom RP has been selected
• Fix ChangeContext not being able to set the source entity to nothing (affects Mob, Monster, etc spells)
• Fix auto_close on shops not working
• Fix NPCs sometimes not respawning
• The Decoy spell doesn't use vanish anymore

Additions and Improvements

• Add alt-cast (sneak) to levelled up fling to get the original speed
• Add Alter level 2, with alt-cast (sneak) to absorb a wildcard brush
• Add replacement options to ChangeBiome, Brush actions and ConstructSpell
• Add mconfig language command to easily ues a builtin localization file
• Add FR (French) translation files (thank you, Brushette!)
• Add in-game notifications to ops about magic errors and warnings (can be controlled via configs or permissions)
• Cloak now hides you from mobs
• Allow specifying item_attributes as sections, so you can set a slot per-attribute
• Use /mgive book:fling to give a descriptive book about one spell
• Add /mgive learnbook:spell to give a book that describes a spell and can be used to learn it
• Add active_spells_exclusive and active_spells_restricted spell properties, to make spells only castable if some other spell(s) is or is not already active
• 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!)
• Allow ChangeContext source_location and target_location parameters to specify feet, head, etc entity locations
• Phantoms can be shrunk and grown (wither skeletons can also be shrunk again, optionally)
• Wand commands when used from the console can now bypass locked wands
  • (same as a player with Magic.wand.override_locked permission)
  • Use console_bypass_locked_wands: false to disable this
• Triggers can now be a simple list or a one-liner
• Jedi and Sith will auto-learn recipes, nether stars removed (still needed for hilt)
• Add simpler slot parameter to Wear action: boots, helmet, chestplate or leggings
• Add direction_count and source_location parameters to CheckBlock action, more control over where it looks
• Add rain option to Weather action
