BodyHealth - Locational Health & Damage

Added use-transient-modifiers, a new config option that, when enabled, uses attribute modifiers that are discarded when your server shuts down, so they can never persist.

Added ATTRIBUTE_MODIFIER, a new built-in effect for adding attribute modifiers to players.

Added more safety measures to ensure that attribute modifiers never stay, even when not transient.

Added apply-potion-effects-repeatedly, a new config option that, when enabled, applies potion effects from the POTION_EFFECT effect repeatedly, like a beacon would, instead of using infinite-duration effects.

Added a system that reliably detects world changes on Folia-based server software to apply HUD visibility correctly.

Added PREVENT_HOLD, a new effect that prevents players from holding items in a given hand.

Added many new settings related to health regeneration. You can now make part health regenerate separately from vanilla health, but in the same way, even draining hunger if that is what you want. Regenerating health in your sleep is now also supported.

Added new API methods for healing players with a precise amount and for checking whether a player is able to hold an item in a given hand.

Added a new subcommand, /bodyhealth addon <info/list/reload/enable/disable/load/unload> [...] for managing addons while the server is running.

Added a new optional argument to the SOUND effect that allows you to make the sound global, so all nearby players can hear your heartbeat or whatever you do with it.

Added PARTICLE, a new effect that allows you to spawn particles, like red dust around your hand to make it look like it's bleeding.

Added a new wiki page that explains every effect in more detail: https://github.com/Mitality/BodyHealth/wiki/Effects

Added CHANCE, a new effect that allows you to trigger effects based on chance. It also features an optional key argument that allows you to group multiple CHANCE effects together, executing multiple effects based on the same chance/roll (either all effects in a group are run, or none).

Added BODYHEALTH, a new effect that allows you to modify body health values for the affected player, or even for all online players, allowing you to sync everyone's body health.

Improved AddonManager to show a stacktrace when enabling an addon fails.

Improved accuracy of damaged-by-block calculations. BodyHealth now correctly determines whether both of your feet are touching a damaging block, or just one.

Improved the primary config file's formatting to be more aesthetically pleasing and easier to comprehend.

Improved debug messaging to only log important and non-verbose messages in non-verbose mode.

Fixed instructions for ItemsAdder users showing incorrect paths in config.yml.

Fixed custom 3rd party effects not registering.

Fixed BetterHud sometimes being reloaded twice by BodyHealth.

Fixed DELAYED and REPEATING effects not working on Folia-based server software.

Fixed resource pack being shown as incompatible on recent Minecraft versions.

Fixed a few inaccuracies and code style related issues.

• Added a raytracing.fix-rotation config option to fix imprecise mob rotations that caused raytracing to fail sometimes

• Added a lenient-movement-restrictions config option (disabled by default), that makes the PREVENT_WALK and PREVENT_JUMP effects allow some mobility instead of completely preventing movement

• Added a hide-potion-effects config option that disables ambient, particles and the effect icon for effects applied by BodyHealth

• Added defaults for poison damage to the body-damage config section

• Added more debug information for bypassing damage and regeneration to resolve permission problems more easily

• Added heal-on-respawn and heal-on-full-health as new config options, controlling body part regeneration

• Added a display.betterhud.enabled-only config option that only shows BodyHealth's HUD in worlds/regions where BodyHealth is enabled

• Fixed BodyHealth not taking BetterHud's build-folder-location and pack-type config options into account

• Fixed disabling the display.betterhud.as-default config option having no effect

• Fixed a small formatting issue with debug messages

Here we go again, 5000 lines added, 500 removed...

Official addons will be updated to work with this version right after this is released.

BodyHealth v4.0.0

Renamed 'BODY' (body part) to 'TORSO'. Your config, language files, the selected storage, and BetterHud's configuration will automatically be migrated to reflect that change, but if you are using body parts anywhere externally, you need to migrate that manually

Retextured all HUD elements of the 'DAMAGED' state to match the quality standard imposed by the four other states

Added Folia support! BetterHud should already work on Folia as-is, for PlaceholderAPI, you will need to use a fork that supports Folia, until the main version does: https://github.com/Folia-Inquisitors/PlaceholderAPI-Folia/releases/tag/Tango
NOTE: On Folia, it is not possible to reliably remove all effects from a player on shutdown, because the global thread is no longer available. Instead, we store all currently active effects per player and remove them the next time the player joins. On PaperMC and its forks, you can toggle this behavior with a new remove-effects-on-shutdown setting in config.yml

Added an optional 'enabled' property to permission overrides that allows you to disable them and disabled the default overrides

Added a data command ('/bh data save/dump/erase/move') that allows for asynchronous data management and easy storage type changes

Added HUD scaling! You can now scale BodyHealth's HUD with a new config option at display.betterhud.position.scale (default is 1.5)

Added a debug command that allows toggling both debug modes, as well as dumping debug information that could be useful for diagnosing issues

Added a translated variant of the state placeholder ('%bodyhealth_state__translated%') outputs new translations that may contain other placeholders and formatting

Improved the default body-damage configuration to not apply the damage you take when dying to all of your body parts

Improved BodyHealth's UpdateChecker to show name and current version in "You are running the latest version" messages

Improved the default effect configuration further, aiming to showcase all effects while still making sense in a survival environment

Improved tips at the end of config.yml to include instructions on how to merge BetterHud's pack with ItemsAdder for those who need that

Improved Debug logging in AddonManager so you better understand what went wrong with an addon, if problems with one arise

Fixed default prefix missing a formatting-reset at the end

Fixed the UpdateChecker's first empty line not being shown in some consoles

Fixed BodyHealth's calculations not considering the change in head height caused by sneaking

Fixed some parts of the plugin still not using the by now no longer new, but still robust error logging logic

Fixed some effects not being listed as ongoing, despite them being active (didn't matter before v4)

Fixed the Japanese language translation (submitted by jekyllh, thank you!)

Fixed many other small inaccuracies and updated many dependencies

For Developers

Renamed BodyPart.BODY to BodyPart.TORSO

Renamed BodyHealthAddon#onAddonPreEnable to BodyHealthAddon#onAddonLoad (it is now called onLoad)

Renamed BodyHealthAddon#onBodyHealthReload to BodyHealthAddon#onAddonReload

Fixed missing @NotNull annotations in BodyPartHealthChangeEvent

Alright, buckle up...

BodyHealth v3.0.0

New official addon: LocationalArmorAddon (BodyHealth v3.0.0+, Minecraft v1.21.3+)

Added a %BodyPart% placeholder to the COMMAND and COMMAND_UNDO effects that translates into the BodyPart that caused the effect, so you can copy/paste the effect onto different parts

Added a new update checker that checks for updates on Modrinth, works with dev versions and prereleases, and formats update notifications a bit nicer

Added a new config option that allows you to chose whether to check for development versions and prereleases, or full releases only

Added permission overrides to the body-health and body-damage configuration sections (examples are added to your config)

Added a %bodyhealth_enabled% PAPI placeholder that returns true when BodyHealth is enabled for a player

Added more robust error logging for throwables and error logging for failing math expressions

Added new meta effects (DELAYED & REPEATING) to execute effects delayed and/or repeating

Improved the default effect config to still use all effects there are, but while actually making sense in a survival environment, so it can now be used without changes (check it out here)

Improved MySQL and SQLite storage types to use HikariCP for extra performance and stability

Improved various methods to be thread safe when used by multiple plugins/addons at the same time

Improved debug logging to not only include the calling class, but now also the line of code

Improved various comments within the plugin's source code and its configuration file

Improved parsing of the body-damage section to warn users in case of invalid entries

Improved meta effects to allow you to chain them together

Fixed missing javadoc params in the BodyHealth and EffectHandler classes

Fixed en-us being set as the default language, despite the file being named en.yml

Fixed attribute modifiers being expected in one specific format, causing errors with other formats present

Updated the following wiki entries: Setup Guide, API Usage, Addons

For Developers

Events

Added causing/underlying event to BodyPartHealthChangeEvent (retrieve with BodyPartHealthChangeEvent#getCause, can optionally be set via API)

Fixed health value in BodyPartHealthChangeEvent#setNewHealth being set as an int instead of double

Effects

Added methods that let you register your own BodyHealthEffects via the API or directly within an addon's main class (docs)

API

Added way more methods to the BodyHealthAPI class to ensure you don't have to touch anything else in most cases (check it out here)

Changed BodyHealthAPI#getInstance to BodyHealthAPI#getBodyHealthPlugin and BodyHealthAPI#reloadSystem to BodyHealthAPI#reloadBodyHealthPlugin

Changed BodyHealthAPI to be object based, retrievable with BodyHealthAPI#getInstance

Addons

Overhauled the AddonFileManager class, simplifying its use, adding javadoc comments and adding a new method that lets you update yaml configurations with BodyHealth's config updater

Overhauled the AddonManager class, also simplifying it, adding javadoc comments and adding logging that's up to standard with the rest of the plugin

Added AddonDebug#logRaw for you to log something regardless of debug or dev mode being enabled

Improved addon debug methods to also include logging for throwables and the calling line of code

Fixed debug messages in the AddonManager class not logging enough information to tell what addon caused something

tl;dr:

This update includes a lot (and I mean A LOT) of things.
If you're a developer using the API and/or addon system, prepare for breaking changes and read at least the "For Developers" section.
Casual users should be fine, as the plugin's config is updated automatically.

Enjoy!

HotFix for BetterHud 1.13.0+

Needed fix for users on 1.21.6+

• Added a new config option that allows using the /kill command to kill players with the KILL_PLAYER effect as that's more consistent across different server software than using the API

• Added meta effects WHEN_DAMAGED & WHEN_HEALED. These allow triggering effects only when conditions are met due to the player taking damage or regenerating. For example, when_damaged/sound/minecraft:entity.bogged.hurt at effects.BODY.INTERMEDIATE would trigger the sound when the state of your body changes from NEARLYFULL to INTERMEDIATE (damage), but NOT when it changes from DAMAGED to INTERMEDIATE (regeneration).

• Categorized effects into persistent, one-time and meta effects

• Improved effect keyword matching to allow case-insensitive identifiers

• Updated validation methods to reflect the above

• Corrected config comments

Advanced HUD positioning and more!

Added a new positioning option that allows you to specify an anchor point for BodyHealth's HUD (e.g. BOTTOM_LEFT). The HUD's position will always be relative to that anchor point, no matter the screen ratio and resolution, and the correct offsets are automatically calculated and applied for you. The anchor point therefore effectively changes the HUD's default position to one of nine possible places from where you can still move it in all directions with the offset values from the last update.

Added a new option in the display section that automatically reloads BetterHud together with BodyHealth when enabled to instantly apply any changes there.

Improved the PREVENT_JUMP and PREVENT_WALK effects to handle their attribute modifiers more consistently and hopefully never leave them applied under any circumstances ever again due to other plugins interfering with them.

Sidenote: When repositioning the HUD, always adjust the anchor point first and then use the offsets from last update if needed.

A few things...

• Added SOUND effect to play sounds to only the target player
• Added an option to disable BetterHud's entity popup feature
• Added customizable offsets to BodyHealth's HUD (can be found in a new "position" category at display.betterhud)
• Added yet another safety feature for attribute modifiers to ensure they are removed correctly in any case
• Updated the effect config's default values to include the new SOUND effect and to match the newest version's syntax
• Improved the three display.betterhud.disable options to re-enable the respective features when set to false
• Improved the display.betterhud.as-default option to be reversible too
• Fixed a few typos here and there (mostly internal + debug messages)
• Removed fix-height option in favor of the new offsets

• Fixed an incompatibility with MyWorlds
• Improved addon name extraction process to handle more complex names and version patterns
• Fixed various typos in method descriptions, debug messages and config files

MiniMessage Support!

All messages (except debug messages) can now use MiniMessage formatting in addition to legacy color/formatting codes like &c (red). Some things like coloring the shadow of your text isn't possible in Minecraft, as this is handled client side, but you can now use all 16.7M colors in the RGB spectrum, add hover text to your messages, execute commands when someone clicks them and much more!

Messages sent to players may now also contain PAPI placeholders to show your players additional information like.... the current date and time for example (hover text):

BodyHealth's default messages are still formatted using legacy codes due to them being much shorter.

Storage update!

• Added SQLite storage type (new default)
• Added MySQL storage type for multi server environments
• Improved data handling to only load data needed at a given time, unloading and saving data for players when they disconnect, etc.

With SQLite being the new default storage method, loading times should no longer scale with the number of players of which data is stored that much, resulting in loading times hundreds if not thousands of times faster than before, depending on how many entries there are in your YAML storage. Speaking of which, it is still available to use, as it's way more readable and therefore great for debugging.

You can find storage settings in a new config section between the raytracing- and body-health settings within config.yml :)

Changed Reorganized BodyHealth's config internally Fixed players with bypass permissions bypassing forced health changes
Improved HUD is now also shown to players in adventure mode
Improved Better handling and logging of regeneration caused by external plugins

Changed Assembled resource packs now have their own output folder and the existing packaging process of BetterHud's assets to a usable resource pack has been updated to:
...fully support all versions from 1.21 upwards (no more red highlighted, outdated packs)
...make it a little more presentable by reworking the pack's description and adding sort of a gradient
...allow customizing the filenames of generated resource packs

Added/Fixed This update introduces a new config option at display.betterhud.fix-height (true/false) that attempts to fix an issue with BodyHealth's HUD being pushed down by other HUDs when activated. Do NOT activate this setting unless this happens to you.

Improved Body parts are now case-insensitive across all commands

Fixed Mc 1.21.3 introduced a bug that renders it impossible to retrieve the block that damaged a player under certain circumstances (e.g. lava). BodeHealth now applies damage to all body parts in these cases, instead of spamming errors. (PaperMC/Paper#11984)

Fixed players body parts not being healed after respawning under certain circumstances

Previous behavior: Fully heal players 3 ticks after respawning if the system is enabled where they respawn.

Revised behavior (now): Fully heal players body parts 1 tick after respawning regardless of the system being enabled at their respawn point

Fixed an issue with said compatibility leading to players being healed despite the command not even being registered by any plugin. Players are now only healed based on their increase in health, still supporting /heal <player>

After changing this effect from SEND_MESSAGE to just MESSAGE by accident, then pushing a fix for it that somehow didn't end up in any release and ultimately deciding to leave it at MESSAGE, we somehow ended up in a state where the default config generates a SEND_MESSAGE effect whilst the effect engine only knows MESSAGE....

Changed This update therefore adjusts the default configuration and the effect explanation to say MESSAGE instead of SEND_MESSAGE to finally end the confusion

IF YOU CURRENTLY USE THE MESSAGE/SEND_MESSAGE EFFECT, MAKE SURE IT SAYS "MESSAGE"

Improved PAPI expansion is now persistent through PAPI reloads
