DeathAnnouncer

New Features

Inventory Inspection & 1-Click Restore: Added a dedicated interface to inspect lost inventories (items, armor, and off-hand) with a direct restore button for the player, protected by a 5-second anti-missclick confirmation.

Right-Click GUI Teleport: Administrators can now right-click any head in the logs menu to instantly teleport to the exact coordinates of the death.

Kill Assist System: Leverages damage tracker history to automatically identify and announce players who dealt significant damage (>20%, customizable in config) using the {assister}, {assist_percent}, and {assist_suffix} variables.

Combat Damage Recap: Sends a private post-death breakdown to the victim detailing all recent sources of incoming damage, values in HP, and percentage contributions over a configurable tracking window.

Killstreak & Shutdown System: Implemented a streak tracking system that broadcasts global chat announcements at configured milestones (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 50 kills) along with high-streak shutdown alerts.

Totem Pops Counter: Tracks in real time how many totems the victim popped in combat, displaying the values via {totems} and a configurable {totem_suffix} (supporting singular and plural).

Sniper Shot Detection (Projectile Distance): Measures the exact 3D distance of the projectile between launch and impact (bows, crossbows, and tridents), highlighting long-range kills with {distance} and automatic distance tagging.

1.21+ Mace Smash Support: Captures the attacker's fall height during the fatal strike before Minecraft resets it, providing configurable {mace_height} and {mace_suffix} variables.

Conditional Messages Engine: Implemented an advanced condition system via PlaceholderAPI (e.g., %auraskills_power% >= 100) with target selection (VICTIM, KILLER, BOTH, ANY) and native support for %killer_<placeholder>% for clan and guild wars.

• Complete PlaceholderAPI Expansion: Added comprehensive last-death placeholders (%deathannouncer_last_killer%, _last_cause%, _last_weapon%, _last_coords%, _last_date%, _last_distance%), alongside active totem pops, current streak, and highest killstreak.

Discord Cause and Conditional Filters: Added dedicated cause filtering (filter-causes) and condition checking (conditional-filter) to prevent Discord spam, supporting global causes (ALL or *).

Updates

Log Storage Optimization (Anti-Lag): Implemented GZIP Base64 compression on inventory snapshots and automated 7-day retention cleanup (max 500 records) in YAML and MongoDB, eliminating massive 13,000+ line files and disk lag.

Fixes

Hexadecimal Colors in GUI Lore: Fixed an issue where RGB/Hex color codes (&x&r&r&g&g&b&b and &#rrggbb) appeared as raw text in weapon descriptions inside log lores.

API

New API Version Release: Released a new version of DeathAnnouncer-API (now aligned with v1.6.0-RELEASE) featuring expanded data models (DeathLogEntry) with full support for coordinates, inventory snapshots, projectile distance, and combat metadata.
