After a long break, SharedSoul is finally back.

Over the past 9+ months, I wasn’t able to work on the plugin due to personal and family related reasons. During that time, many of you were asking for updates thank you for your patience.

There’s also something important to mention: parts of the previous source code were lost due to my own mistake and lack of experience. Because of that, this version is not just an update…

It’s a complete rewrite from scratch.

That’s why it took longer but it also means the plugin is now cleaner, more stable, and built with flexibility in mind.

🛠️ Major Fixes

✔ Fixed Item Duplication on Death A critical bug where items could duplicate after a player died has now been fully resolved. Gameplay is now stable and fair again.

---

⚙️ Full Customization (New)

One of the biggest improvements in v1.3.0 is customization.

You can now control almost everything through config.yml:

• Enable/disable individual sync systems:

  • Health
  • Hunger
  • Inventory
  • XP
  • Potions
  • Advancements

• Adjust sync delays to prevent duplication or sync loops

• Customize all plugin messages (prefix, death message, etc.)

• Toggle debug mode

• Built-in SQLite database support

You are no longer locked into one playstyle you can fully adapt SharedSoul to your server.

---

💬 Improved Messaging

• Fully customizable messages with color codes
• Configurable shared death message
• Clearer command and permission feedback

---

🎁 Bonus: Custom Scoreboard (Gift)

As a small gift, I’ve also included a custom-made scoreboard configuration designed specifically for SharedSoul.

It displays important shared stats like:

• Health ❤️
• Hunger 🍗
• Level 🧪
• Deaths 🗡
• Player count 👤
• Inventory usage 🎒
• Last action ☄

It’s styled and ready to use, especially for Minecraft 1.21.11+ players (Java Edition).

Sorry it took so long but I wanted to include something extra for you all.

SharedSoulSurvival Plugin - Update Highlights v1.2.0

Version: 1.2.0

Release Date: August 4, 2025

---

Hey adventurers! 👋

We’ve rolled out a big update to the SharedSoulSurvival plugin, and we’re excited to share what’s new. This version brings smoother co-op gameplay, better synchronization, and fixes to the most frustrating issues reported by players. Let’s break it down:

---

🔧 Major Fixes:

• Inventory & Block Interaction Now in Sync

  • Player Two can now place and break blocks just like Player One — no more ghost blocks or weird inventory glitches.
  • Items are now correctly picked up, placed, or removed on both sides without duplication or disappearing acts.

---

🎯 Gameplay Feel & Feedback:

• Damage Effects Are Now Shared

  • When one player takes damage, both players now experience the same hit effects — screen shake, knockback, and all.
  • This makes the shared health system feel much more immersive and fair.

---

🏆 Advancements Reimagined:

• Shared Progression

  • Unlocking an advancement? Your partner gets it too! No more lagging behind in progress — you’re truly in this together.

---

⚙ Under-the-Hood Tweaks:

• Improved the way the plugin syncs world and inventory changes.
• Added extra protection against item duplication bugs and sync delays.

---

📌 Final Notes:

This update is a big step forward for the SharedSoulSurvival experience. If you’re running a server, we highly recommend updating to v1.2.0 for a smoother, bug-free adventure.

Thanks for being part of the journey. More magic coming soon! 💫
