Howdy, another update for you guys. This one doesn't contain a whole lot of content, but plenty of quality features that will improve your experience and make this plugin nicer to work with.
For this update you should read the "documentation" tab on the plugin page. In short, you should basically remove the entire ValhallaMMO folder (while server is offline) before starting your server. If you have your own recipes or configurations you'd like to save, back them up if you want some of these changes to actually apply to your server. Don't worry, you won't lose progress doing this, but you might have to give players soft resets in case their existing profiles are still buggy ( /val reset false <player> will reset them, but re-award their experience so no progress is lost)

NEW COMMAND /val resourcepack, a command which allows servers to automatically download and install the ValhallaMMO resource pack. Requires a server restart to apply. /val resourcepack download will only put a copy of the resource pack into the server plugin directory, in case you have other resource packs (such as ItemsAdder's) that need to be merged with it. /val resourcepack install both downloads and installs the resource pack, this changes settings in your server.properties file, so be careful you don't override existing resource pack settings. /val resourcepack enable may be used to directly apply the custom textures onto crafting GUIs

NEW COMMAND /val itemindex, a dictionary of sorts to store items under an ID, along with a couple of item modifiers to allow you to change an item into an indexed item completely, only copy the indexed item name to the item, or only change the item type to the indexed item's. Bit confusing, I know, but the feature is quite powerful in creating more intricate recipes

NEW COMMAND /partyspy, allowing admins to peep on other player's party chats

MINOR FEATURE added two more dynamic item modifiers that convert written color codes (like "&4example") in item names or lore to be converted to actual colors (to " example")
MINOR FEATURE added two more recipes to allow players to craft 64x hot iron or gold ingots at once, I thought it was OP at first but my players loved it so much I added it by default
MINOR FEATURE added "dismount chance" attribute, you can now have jousting games in Minecraft
MINOR FEATURE added item modifiers to change what materials or equipment types the plugin considers an item without changing the actual item material (roses can be considered helmets made of diamond for example, this does not change whether you're actually able to equip non-armor items)


BALANCE buffed effectiveness of protection enchantments
- Protection damage mitigation increased from 1% to 2% per level (20% - 40%)
- Protection magic resistance increased from 2% to 3% per level (40% - 60%)
- Protection now grants additional 3% poison resistance per level (60%)
- Projectile Protection projectile resistance increased from 1.5% to 3% (30% - 60%)
- Blast Protection explosion resistance increased from 3% to 4% (60% - 80%)

BALANCE armor by default now also protects against LAVA damage
BALANCE greatly buffed archery to give more experience in the early game, and players now get a % more experience per damage point they deal to make late-game more viable too
BALANCE buffed default enchanting experience gain by about 50%
BALANCE buffed light and heavy armor experience gain by about double
BALANCE buffed light weapons experience gain by about 50%


TWEAK damage hurt effect no longer plays when damage is 0 or lower (100% fire resistance will not keep hurting you while swimming in lava, for example)
TWEAK damage resistance from enchantments can now have a maximum value configured
TWEAK added option for brewing stands to spit out "saved" ingredients on top of the brewing stand rather than keeping it in the brewing stand
TWEAK tab autocompletion no longer shows command options if the player doesn't have permission for that subcommand
TWEAK spawner-spawned mobs can now be rewarded less experience for light and heavy weapons, and archery
TWEAK skulls, player heads, and carved pumpkins are now considered helmets
TWEAK having "weapon coating" unlocked of either light or heavy weapons will now completely prevent self-poisoning when attempting a weapon coating, even if it fails
TWEAK the dynamic attribute modifiers for items items, and the duration and amplifier modifiers for potions, now include a "will at least be x times the default" property. This allows potions to always benefit from glowstone or redstone dust even when the player is typically not skilled enough.
TWEAK the icons in /skills and the dynamic item modifier icons no longer show attributes (chestplates will no longer display "+x Armor" for example)
TWEAK slightly lowered volume of crafting noises
TWEAK crafting sounds are now based on the material's base type, like chipped anvils or damaged anvils now all share the anvil's sound effects
TWEAK hunger save chance can now be negative to make hunger go down faster
TWEAK skill experience can now not be gained in creative mode
TWEAK immunity frame mechanic now works exactly like vanilla (if an entity is immune, but hit by a stronger attack, the difference in damage is applied regardless of immunity frames. This prevents effective damage immunity while being poisoned or similar)
