📦 DeliveryDrones — Changelog & Feature Overview

🆕 New in Version 1.0.1 (Current Update)

This update focuses on precision landing mechanics, safer player-following behaviors, and robust configuration options to ensure your drones never get stuck or lost.

✅ Core Features (Added since 1.0.0)

If you are upgrading from an older beta or missed the 1.0.0 documentation, here is a breakdown of the powerful systems permanently integrated into the plugin:

🌍 World & Performance

• Cross-Dimension Flight: Drones seamlessly travel across dimensions, delivering items between the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.
• Performance Optimizer: Built-in throttling and particle-culling engines ensure zero server lag, even during high-density deliveries.
• Drone Persistence (drones.yml): Active drones are saved automatically. If the server restarts or crashes, your drones resume their tasks upon startup.

⚙️ Mechanics & Automation

• Elytra-Follow (follow-gliding-player): Drones dynamically track and chase players actively gliding with Elytra wings.
• Container Auto-Unload: When a drone lands on a designated "Socket," it automatically unloads its inventory into chests or hoppers directly beneath it.
• Collection Animation: A smooth, custom visual effect triggers the moment a player collects a drone.

🔒 Administration & Control

• Fine-Granular Permissions: Take absolute control over who uses the system with specific nodes like drone.send.players, drone.socket.place, and more.
• Feature Toggles: Easily enable or disable entire gameplay loops using players-enabled and sockets-enabled switches.
• The /drone locate Command: Lost a drone? Run this command to generate a distinct particle trail leading directly to your landed drone (requires drone.locate).
• Localization Support: Hardcoded messages are gone. The plugin natively supports multiple languages via languages/*.yml (de, en, es, fr, ru, zh).****
