ProjectKorra (Core) 1.11.3

Hello everyone! The long awaited 1.8.0 Stable build for MC 1.9.0 and 1.10 is finally here! I would like to personally apologize for the fact it has taken so long to get to this point. We have gone through a lot to make this build as perfect as possible, it focuses almost entirely on fixing issues that were deep rooted in ProjectKorra and loads of performance issues. There were so many bug fixes that we just couldn't fit them all in the changelog! In addition to that, we also focused a lot of our attention on improving the API of ProjectKorra and adding tools addon developers can use. We have entirely refactored our Ability systems, Element system, and even parts of our Command systems. Please see our updated Javadocs for an in-depth view of the changes to these systems (http://projectkorra.com/docs/)

It is important to note that due to massive changes in Configuration systems, such as adding language support, you MUST delete your old config files and regenerate them! As stated above, we might have missed some fixes or added features in the changelog, if we find any I will go back and edit them in, as well as post a comment saying so.

    • In order to use this version of ProjectKorra (Core), or any version that follows (meaning ALL 1.6.0 Dev Builds), you must be using a 1.8 build of Spigot or higher.
  • All particle issues fixed.
• Earthbending Changes
  • Removed LavaSurge
    • There is an issue with 1.8 and Falling Lava blocks, thus rendering LavaSurge (and many custom lava abilities) useless. This bug is currently unfixable, as it appears to be an issue with Mojang's rendering code instead of Spigot / our own code. Should something change and we be allowed to spawn falling lava blocks again, the ability will be added back.
    • We will be adding a decent LavaSurge / Lavabending replacement in 1.6.0, the point of this update was just making sure the plugin was compatible with MC 1.8.

This update is 2.5 months in the making and is rather large, hope you enjoy. This wouldn't have been possible without the phenomenal development team, concept designers, and the community for their tireless efforts in the creation of bug reports and suggestions.

General Changes

• LWC Support Added.
  • Players cannot bend through LWC Protections. At the moment this only extends to Metalbenders being able to open iron doors.
• Placing blocks will no longer activate Bending.
• AvatarState clears on death and logout.
• Fixed an IndexOutOfBoundsException associated with TagAPI
• Improved Saving Methods
  • It is now done on an as needed basis instead of all at once when they sign out regardless of whether or not anything changed. Should provide a small performance boost.
• Fixed a NullPointerException in TempPotionEffect
• All of the managers have been cleaned up with references updated.
• Fixed NumberFormatException in /bending bind
• Complete revamp with how cooldowns are managed
  • Cooldowns now store on a per player basis instead of a per ability basis. The bendingPlayer class stores cooldowns for ALL abilities EXCEPT for AvatarState
  • Should be much more efficient than the former method. Instead of having 40+ hashmaps (for each ability), you now just have one for each player online. This is only used if the player is actually Bending, instead of being constantly checked.
  • All custom abilities should, but will not have to, update how they handle cooldowns.
    • Methods.getBendingPlayer(String playerName) gets the instance of a Bending Player.
    • Use bendingPlayer.addCooldown(String abilityName, Long length) to add a cooldown to a player.
    • Use bendingPlayer.isOnCooldown(String abilityName) to check if the player has a cooldown for a specific ability.
• /bending who [Player] can now be used on an offline player.
• New Command: /bending give
  • Allows the giving of Bending specific items (Grappling Hooks)
  • /bending give [Player] [Item] <Properties>
  • The properties can change from item to item, so the number of arguments can change.
  • Right now the only use /bending give [Player] GrapplingHook <# Of Uses>
  • Permission Node: bending.command.give (defaults op)
• New Command: /bending invincible
  • Allows the bender to become invincible to Bending damage and most Airbending knockbacks.
  • /bending invincible
  • Permission Node: bending.command.invincible (defaults op)
• NoCheatPlus Support
  • Workaround for the Damage Reach check and Bending
• When the server shuts down or reloads the flight glitch should no longer be created. Players who were in mid flight because of an ability will be removed from flight when the server / bending reloads.
• Bending can be disabled per world via the config. Simply add the world name (exactly as it appears in-game) to the DisabledWorlds list in the config.
• New Command: /bending preset
  • Allows the player to define presets of bound abilities that can be bound at any time.
  • Command is /bending preset create|bind|list|delete {name}. All permission nodes are bending.command.preset.create|bind|list|delete
  • Create
    • Limited via permission nodes. bending.command.preset.create.Max#OfPresets. By default, all players can have two presets.
    • This command will save the players current bound moveset as a preset they can rebind later.
    • Not limited to one element / type. Any combination of moves can be thrown into a preset. For example, some may have a preset just for Utility and One for offense so they can switch quickly.
  • Bind
    • Allows the player to bind one of their saved presets. This will overwrite their current bound slots. For example, say they have two presets, one for Earthbending and one for Waterbending. If they use /bending preset bind earth, their earth moveset will be bound, whereas if they do the same for Water, their water moveset will be bound.
  • List
    • Returns a list of a player's saved presets. These are the names that should be used in /bending preset bind.
  • Delete
    • Will delete a player's saved preset.
• /bending version has been cleaned up. Now provides a link for more information.
• There is no longer an error in your console if you run the plugin without TagAPI

Airbending Changes

• AirSwipe gets a boost in the AvatarState.
• AirShield will block WaterManipulation and EarthBlast.
• New Subelement: Breathbending
  • New Ability: Suffocate
    • This is now, by far, the most lethal ability available to Airbenders. To use, simply hold sneak while targeting an entity at close range. They will slowly take damage as you extract air from their lungs. This gives airbenders a huge plus in one on one combat, but doesn't have much practicality in fights with a higher number of people.
    • Benders may break themselves out of this ability by activating AvatarState or hitting their attacker with another Bending ability. The bender has a few seconds before they are locked into one spot and begin taking damage. During this time, they may move, bend, or try to break free.
    • Benders may be broken out if another player hits them while they are being attacked or hits the attacker with an offensive ability.
    • Players using this while in the AvatarState will enjoy an increased range and can breathbend more than one player at a time.
      This ability defaults true to all players. (bending.ability.Suffocate)
• AirSwipe will now stop when it hits another blast instead of just pushing through it.
• AirBubble is now much more efficient. We now check if the block is Water before we check which region it is in. This should cut out a lot of useless calculation.
• AirSwipe crash preventative manager:
  • Added a preventative measure to check the amount of entities that are about to have their velocities changed before moving them all. If there are too many entities around it will damage them without changing their velocity, that way we don't have to lag out and crash due to the firing of too many EntityCollisionEvents.

Waterbending Changes

• HealingWaters will not cure Smokescreen blindness.
• Fixed error in Task #40 - Bloodbending.
• Fixed NullPointerException in IceSpike.
• Added WaterManipulation accessor method.
  • Added WaterManipulation.getAroundPoint() which returns all instances of WaterManipulation around a location with a specified radius.
• Fixed a bug where IceSpikes were not being cleaned up when they should have been.
• Fixed bug where Waterbenders could spam WaterSpout to not take fall damage, even if they were over a Waterbendable block.
• Fixed a WaterSpout NullPointerException.
• New Ability: IceBlast
  • To use, simply tap sneak (Default: Shift) to select an ice source block (must be ice). Left click to fire a blast off at a target. When it hits a target, it will temporarily slow them down and deal a fair amount of damage. Uses particles, not an actual ice source block. The blast grows the further it goes away.
• New Ability: WaterWave
  • Provides a waterbender with boosted mobility and transportation. To use, first click a source block to select it. Then, hold sneak to channel the water around you. When you let go of sneak, the water will carry you in the direction you're looking. Tapping sneak while riding the wave will cause the water to disappear.
• WaterBubble is now much more efficient. We now check if the block is water before we check which region it is in. This should cut out a lot of useless calculation.
• Fixed a bug where WaterSpouts were not created if the player was submerged in Water.

Earthbending Changes

• New SubElement: Lavabending
  • New Ability: LavaSurge
    • This ability works similarly to Surge, using Lava as a source instead of Water. You NEED a lava source block for this ability to work. To use, simply tap sneak to target a source block and click to send off a massive wave in the direction you're looking. This ability does not have the wall functionality that Water has, as Lava is not meant to be defensive. This ability does not have as high of a knockback, but does a fair amount of contact damage.
  • New Ability: LavaFlow
    • This ability allows an Earthbender to create Lava out of existing Earth. To use, hold sneak (Default: Shift) and a moat of lava will be created around you. Tapping sneak again will turn the Lava back to its original state. Alternatively, you can click an Earthbendable block to make the Lava come out in one direction in front of you instead of all around. This lava can be used to fire off other Lavabending abilities (LavaSurge), or damage players. Additionally, you can left click at any time to get rid of lava, turning it back to its original state.
• Earthbending will never revert if it is set to false in the config.
• Fixed bug where Extraction would just remove the ore most of the time.
• Added EarthBlast accessor method.
  • Added EarthBlast.getAroundPoint() which returns all instances of EarthBlast around a location within a specified radius.
• Fixed an old bug that involved EarthBlasts not being cleaned up properly if the player spammed left click and shift together.
• Checks for Earthbendable blocks have been made much more efficient.

Firebending Changes

• Combustion explodes when it hits another move as opposed to just disappearing.
• Reworked HeatControl functionality:
  • The main thing to take away from this is that Salmon will not give you Cooked Salmon instead of the regular cooked fish.
• Lightning has a larger area of effect in Water.
  • This is configurable, defaults 15 blocks. This gives Fire some solid offense against those that camp in water. What this does is allow you to strike a water block and all players in water within the specified range of it will take damage assuming they are in water as well.
• Added a playFirebendingParticles method for developers.
• Fixed Task#23 Error - Combustion
• Improved HeatControl Efficiency
  • Checks the type of block before checking if it is protected, should save on processing power, especially if on a server with lots of factions / claimed areas.
• Added FireBlast accessor method
  • Added FireBlast.getAroundPoint() which returns all instances of FireBlast around a location within a specified radius.
• There is now an explosion animation at the end of a Combustion Beam.

Chiblocking Changes

• Fixed NullPointerException on RapidPunch
• Fix other NullPointerExceptions related to Chiblocking.
• Fix ClassCastException related to RapidPunch
• When chi is blocked, passives will no longer work.

This is a rather large update, probably the largest one to be released so far. It is important that you read all of the changelog before using!

  • Fixed a NullPointerException error in the isBender() method.

  • Changed the use of plugin.getConfig() to config in ConfigManager class.
  • /bend has been added as an alias to /bending.
  • /bending who displays in /bending help.
  • /bending display displays abilities in alphabetical order.
  • Added /bending toggle all. This will toggle the state of Bending for the entire server. This can only be undone by running the command again. If the entire server's Bending is toggled off, individual players may not toggle their bending back on, the whole server must be toggled.
  • Patched being able to bend in all faction land regadless of the config.
  • Cleaned up commands / imports throughout the plugin.
  • /bending who will now show if the player is a developer / concept designer. This may be changed later to create a better way to show this information, but it pulls from a static list hard coded into the plugin right now, which may prove to be a problem later on (as we add more people / having to release builds for them)
  • /bending who now displays Waterbending sub elements.
  • Complete rewrite of the day / night handling to fix a Null Pointer Exception. Much more efficient. (Credit to HiddenCloud)

    • Gives a brief description of the element as well as a place to learn more.

  • Broke up the BendingManager (task) class amongst 5 classes (for each element. May help with CPU issues)
• Airbending Changes
  • Airbending Particles can now be configured. Valid options are listed below. They are NOT case sensitive. If none of the options below is listed in your config, it defaults to white smoke particles.
    • blacksmoke - The original black airbending particles.
    • spell - The swirly gray / white potion effect particles.
    • smoke - The White clouds (mob death) (default)
  • Added Config Options for AirBurst

      • Defaults to true. If set to false, mobs without Blood cannot be bloodbended.
        • Undead mobs as of now are: Zombie, Blaze, Giant, Iron Golem, Magma Cube, Pig Zombie, Skeleton, Slime, Snowman
  • Packed Ice can no longer be melted.
    • The block was added to the game with the intent of making an ice block that will not melt -- ever. This prevents water / firebenders from destroying the beautiful IceSpike biomes out of boredom.
  • You can now redirect your own WaterManipulation while it is in the air by clicking where you want it to move to.
  • Ice from Surge will stay even after you switch slots.
  • HealingWaters will now remove negative potion effects from the player being healed.

Will deal a nice amount of damage to those close enough to the explosion, will set fire, and break blocks (configurable). Can be very dangerous. Clicking while it is en route will cause the beam to explode before it makes contact.
  • FireShield will now remove all projectiles (arrows, fireballs, etc) that fly into it.

  • Chiblockers no longer take damage if sprinting.
