HeadBlocks v3.5.0

What's New

✨ New Features

• Hide more than heads. The heads list now accepts blocks (block:LANTERN), items (item:DIAMOND:1001), item frames (frame:FILLED_MAP), floating texts (text:&6Find me!) and mobs without AI (mob:CAT). Options go between brackets, e.g. mob:ZOMBIE[head=DIAMOND_HELMET,baby=true]. See the documentation.
• Contents of other plugins, when installed: custom items and furniture from Nexo, ItemsAdder and Oraxen, mobs from MythicMobs, 3D models from ModelEngine and BetterModel, and NPCs from Citizens, FancyNpcs and ZNPCsPlus.
• Rendering modes. A new rendering section (mode, scale, glow) in config.yml, overridable per hunt: heads and blocks are placed as real blocks (BLOCK) or as floating, scalable display entities (DISPLAY) that spin smoothly.
• /hb hunt rendering <hunt> <block|display> converts the heads already placed in a hunt, keeping their content, position and player progress. /hb hunt info shows the rendering of the hunt.
• Catalog. /hb give opens a menu to take the items: filter by type, pick the hunt the items are linked to, shift + click to take a stack. /hb give <player> opens it for that player, and can be run from the console.

🚀 Improvements

• Heads rendered as entities are hidden natively for players who found them with hideFoundHeads: no PacketEvents needed, and no invisible collision left behind.
• Entities are never saved in the world: they are spawned when their chunk loads and respawned if something removes them, so uninstalling the plugin leaves nothing behind.
• Placed block heads are protected: they don't burn, melt, decay, pop off when their support is removed or get pulled by a sticky piston, and clicking one only claims it (a chest doesn't open, a lever doesn't toggle).
• Item frames are placed on the face you click, including floors and ceilings.
• /hb move also moves heads rendered as entities.
• A head moved to another hunt takes the rendering of its new hunt.
• Holograms are raised above tall contents such as mobs.
• Spin settings of a hunt are now applied to its heads.
• Faster head lookups on servers with many heads.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• /hb give <player> <number|*> [hunt] is replaced by the catalog: the head number, * and hunt arguments no longer exist. Scripts or commands giving heads by number must be updated.
