ProjectKorra (Core) 1.11.3

The Blue Fire Update
The long awaited update is finally here! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this update. There are a lot of new cool features for players & server owners to enjoy! This update is for Spigot versions 1.16.1 and above!

Additions

• Adds Blue Fire SubElement. Given via the add command and the `bending.fire.bluefire` permission.
  • Changes the visual elements of fire abilities to use their soul fire equivalents. Also, it adds related damage, cooldown, and range modifiers for configuration if server owners want to buff ability attributes. Addon developers can not make blue fire exclusive moves too if they want!
• Adds Sticks, Sponges, and Chorus Fruit to cookable HeatControl items.
• Adds Smoker, BlastFurnace, and extinguished Campfires to blocks which FireBlast can light.
• Adds new TempBlock constructor which takes in a long revertTime parameter
• Adds new blocks to block lists in configuration
  • Adds new nether plants to plantBlocks list
  • Adds new earth blocks to earthBlocks list
• Adds new methods to GeneralMethods involving armor Material checks.
• Adds Surge interactions with Lava
  • Surge Wave and Surge Wall will both cause Lava to turn into TempBlock Cobblestone / Obsidian
  • Enabled via the new Abilities.Water.Surge.Wave.SolidifyLava.Enabled and Abilities.Water.Surge.Wall.SolidifyLava.Enabled config options. They both default to true
  • Duration of the created TempBlocks is set via the new Abilities.Water.Surge.Wave.SolidifyLava.Duration and Abilities.Water.Surge.Wall.SolidifyLava.Duration config options. They both default to 36000
• Added boundaries to Levelled block data in GeneralMethods#getWaterData() and GeneralMethods#getLavaData() to avoid future bugs

General Notes (IMPORTANT!)

• Due to the Spigot 1.13 update, internal names of block and item types have changed. Consequently, server owners should regenerate their configuration files to avoid errors. The main issue is the earth bendable blocks list in the config, several of the materials on the list had name changes and one is now a whole other type itself.
• Failure to change config values (or delete the file so they can generate new defaults) will cause noticeable gameplay problems. It is the owner’s responsibility (or whoever is responsible) to take the necessary actions to avoid such problems.
• If any errors present themselves when switching from PK on 1.12 to PK on 1.13, the first course of action needs to be to reset the config.

1.13 specific development changes

Spoiler: Spoiler: 1.13 specific development changes

• Changed the ParticleEffect API to make use Spigot’s Particle API. ParticleEffect values that had the same Particle value had any duplicates deprecated for future removal, leaving names that matched their Particle values. If you are an addon developer and use particles it will need to be updated.
• A bug was fixed with database cooldowns, server owners will need to delete the pk_cooldowns table to properly apply this fix
• Many Material types changed, updated references and config defaults to be accurate. Changed all uses of MaterialData to BlockData (which replaces the former in Spigot)
• Added a new method, ElementalAbility#isWater(BlockData), checks for Waterlogged blocks primarily. Seagrass and Kelp block types are also added because they inherently have water and cannot exist without it, and also are not Waterlogged
• Added a boolean parameter to GeneralMethods#isAdjacentToThreeOrMoreSources(Block), passing in true will check for lava source blocks, passing in false will check for water source blocks.
• The method GeneralMethods#isAdjacentToThreeOrMoreSources(Block) still exists, and checks for water.
• Maven setup was changed to properly use repositories with applicable dependencies. It is also possible to specify the jar output location with -Ddir=<directory>
• With the addition of two new types of air blocks, a new methods for checking if a block is any air type was added, ElementalAbility#isAir(Block)
• If a move throws an error while progressing, the user of the move will be notified and the full object for the move and player will be printed in console for easier debugging

Gameplay Changes

Spoiler: Spoiler: Gameplay Changes

• Using ice created by the Torrent ability as the source for Torrent, Surge, and WaterWave will now cause all the ice created by the same Torrent instance as the selected block to also revert when used. This is a test of this feature which can later be applied to other large-scale abilities that create ice blocks.
• MetalClips now allows the user to throw the controlled entity at any clip amount, and will no longer reset when switching targets
• Added configurable sitting animation for AirScooter, false by default
• Added configurable gliding animation for FireJet, false by default
• Added configurable dynamic cooldown for AirShield, any unused duration is removed from the cooldown, false by default
• Improved EarthBlast and IceSpike targeting, won’t run into itself
• WorldGuard dependency was updated, version 7.x required. ProtectionStones support removed until 1.13 update for that plugin. Support for the Factions plugin made by MassiveCraft was dropped as it is unclear if they will be updating to 1.13 and beyond. Support for FactionsFramework was added as a replacement. Added region protection checks for the PlotSquared and RedProtect plugins
• Added core combo instructions to config
• Lavaflow will now interact better with raised earth and shockwave, no longer leaving messes
• A large number of moves have been updated to properly check for protection or if bending invincibility is toggled
• Avatar title in chat will now require Earth, Air, Fire, and Water added, or the permission bending.avatar given

Introducing ProjectKorra 1.8.2!

Additions!

@Coolade has completely reworked the ProjectKorra ability collision system and has made it possible for you to customize what abilities interact with one another. This means addon developers can customize their abilities collisions with stock moves and even create new events that occur when moves collide!

@Sobki created a new Passives API to match our Combo API. This means that addon developers will be able to easily create passive ability addons and we will be able to implement your passive ability suggestions! Passives have names and descriptions to help users. Additionally, passives are given by default but they can be removed via permission node.

EarthArmor will now reflect Stained Clay colors in its appearance and has a new Max Duration config option.

Torrent Ice, Surge Ice, and Ice Wave now have configurable timed revert options.

Flight now has a Cooldown config option and a Max Duration time config option.

AvatarState now has config options for the buff it applies to each Ability variable. Shoutout to @Loony

Spoiler: AvatarState Config

The bending help command now displays a usage message for all moves with a brief instructions of how to use the move in addition to the old move descriptions. Shoutout to @Loony

Spoiler: Usage

Added Kingdoms Support.

As many of you know, PhaseChange was one of the largest processes in ProjectKorra. This was due to a lot of faulty design that went into the original. @Simplicitee has completely reprogrammed the move from scratch to add new functionality and to make it much more efficient. Some of the biggest changes made to PhaseChange are the new thaw mechanic and freeze mechanic. Thawing is no longer instantaneous, instead, ice will gradually melt outwards from a center point. As for freezing, the ice generated by PhaseChange will only cover the outermost layer of water by default. The amount of layers can be changed in the config.

Spoiler: PhaseChange Thaw

HeatControl has been completely reprogrammed by @Sobki to add new functionality and to make the move much more efficient. Cooling now spreads out initially as magma and then cools to stone or cobble.

Spoiler: HeatControl Extinguish

Spoiler: HeatControl Cook

Spoiler: HeatControl Melt

Hey you? Yeah you! What do YOU think WE here at ProjectKorra should work on next? Give a shoutout in the comments!​

Hey, everyone! As promised in our last update here is a shiny new build! I know it may be a tad confusing but in order to maintain consistency between all our plugins we are going to be changing how we display version numbers for core. We will be using this format <Breaking Version>.<Major Version>.<Minor Version> For instance, this build is the first minor build of the 1.8 major release so it can be written as 1.8.1. This build takes care of a lot of issues and errors we found in the 1.8.0 release so I highly recommend you update to it ASAP. In addition, this build contains a few cool new changes that we hope you like! Be sure to comment the feature you like the most!

Fixes:

• Fixes Spout movement
• Fixes Tremorsense click ability activating constantly
• Fixes SandSpout canceling flight on deactivation
• Fixes Combos being executed too soon

Fixed Errors:

• Fixes server crash caused by Nan velocity in MetalClips
• Fixes IllegalPluginAccessException in HeatControl
• Fixes IllegalPluginAccessException in LogFilter
• Fixes IllegalArgumentException on setHovering() in AirFlight
• Fixes IllegalArgumentException ParticleEffect.WATER_BUBBLE in Torrent
• Fixes IllegalArgumentException when checking the distance between two locations
• Fixes NullPointerException isAdjacentToThreeOrMoreSources() in GeneralMethods
• Fixes NullPointerException on thaw() and remove() in SurgeWave

Changes:

• /bending help auto tabbing displays combos you have access to, not all of them
• Particles are now only visible within the entity rendering radius

New EarthArmor
Effects!

• EarthArmor gives Absorption rather than Resistance and dampens fire damage!

Duration!

• Your EarthArmor remains on you until you either disable it manually by Shift-Clicking on your bound slot, or until you run out of absorption hearts. It does not time out on its own.

Color!

• The color of your EarthArmor depends on the blocks used to source it!

New HealingWaters
Bottles!

• HealingWaters can now be used outside of water if you have a bottle in your inventory.

Usage!

• To use you begin shifting in water or with a bottle in your inventory after the blue particles appear and begin circling around you, you will begin to be healed. At this point, you can right click entities within range to transfer the healing waters to them. You must continue to look in the general direction of your target for them to keep healing them. You can right click your current target again to deselect them and return the waters to yourself. Important note: Healing does not occur while the water is in transition from target to target, only once the healing particle effect begins.

New EarthGrab
Usage!

• In order to EarthGrab your target, shift and click on them. Alternately, look down and click the block you are standing on to EarthGrab yourself.

Effect!

• Fancy new particles as your EarthGrab goes to your target!

New AirScooter
New Look!

• AirScooter now displays as a ball like in the show!

New LavaFlow
Usage

• You can now select ceilings as well as floors to turn to lava! Keep in mind that this gif shows the feature with the AllowNaturalFlow option set to true to rain lava down on your enemies!

Known Issues:

• As many of you know PhaseChange has been causing lag on a lot of servers. We are currently working to resolve this issue but felt we should stay on schedule and release this beta anyways. Expect a fix in the next build!
