⚡ eGens v1.0.1 — Minecraft 26.x & Java 25 Compatibility, Unified Configs & Core Bug Fixes!

We are excited to release eGens v1.0.1! This update brings full native support for Minecraft 26.1.2 – 26.2 running on Java 25, completely re-architects generator configurations into clean single-file YAMLs, and resolves several critical gameplay & economy bugs.

🌟 Key Highlights

☕ Java 25 & Minecraft 26.1.2 – 26.2 Ready

• Built and optimized for Java 25 and Paper / Purpur / Folia 26.1.2 – 26.2.
• Full multi-threaded region scheduling support for Folia out of the box.

📁 1 YAML File Per Generator (Unified Configs)

• No more navigating separate chains.yml and drops.yml!
• Each generator now has its own standalone file under plugins/eGens/generators/<name>_generator.yml containing both the generator's stats (durability, tick-interval, price, upgrade tiers) and its custom drop definitions with MiniMessage gradients, lores, and sell prices.
• 28 bundled generator files ready out-of-the-box (wood, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, air, ice, lightning, wither, etc.).

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Quality of Life Improvements

⚡ Dynamic Tick Rescheduling on Tier Promotion

• Fixed: When upgrading a generator (e.g., from Air Generator to Ice Generator), the generator previously retained the old tier's tick-interval task.
• Now: Upgrading a generator immediately unregisters the old timer and reschedules the new tier's tick-interval dynamically.
• Running /egens reload also guarantees all active generators on the server synchronize with your latest YAML edits.

🔮 Hologram & Skin Persistence Across Restarts & Unloads

• Fixed: Holograms and corrupted block skins disappeared after server restarts or when chunks were unloaded.
• Now: Added GeneratorChunkListener which automatically re-spawns TextDisplay holograms and applies corrupted skins the instant a chunk is loaded into memory. Also guarantees generator tick registration for late-loaded worlds (Multiverse, SlimeWorldManager).

🛡️ Complete Anti-Abuse Lock for Generator Drops

• Fixed: Drop items (such as Ice, Ores, Player Heads, Membrane) could previously be placed as blocks, crafted into vanilla items, brewed in brewing stands, smelted in furnaces, or fed to animals.
• Now: All generator drop items (egens:drop_id) are strictly locked down:
  • ❌ Cannot be placed on the ground as blocks.
  • ❌ Cannot be crafted in crafting tables or 2x2 grids.
  • ❌ Cannot be brewed in Brewing Stands.
  • ❌ Cannot be used as furnace smelting items or fuel.
  • ❌ Cannot be enchanted, combined in anvils, or fed to entities.
  • ❌ Cannot be placed into utility workstations (Grindstone, Smithing Table, Composter, etc.).
  • ✔️ Can be stored safely in chests, barrels, and hoppers.
  • ✔️ Can be sold via /sell, /egens sell, /sell all, and sellwands!

🚫 Generator Obstruction Protection

• Players can no longer place any block directly above an active generator, preventing obstruction of floating holograms and item drop paths.

🖥️ Fresh GUI Re-open on Promotion

• When promoting a generator to the next tier in the GUI, the window now re-opens fresh with the new tier's MiniMessage title, updated block texture, and live stats.
• Simplified durability display in GUI from 140 / 140 to clean 140.

💬 Subcommand Integrations

• Fully registered /egens upgrade and /egens repair commands, linking them with real-time hologram and block skin updates.
