Changelog

Project history starts here. Earlier prototype builds are gone, so this file is just the timeline going forward.

2026.1.0

Fresh start. The plugin was rebuilt from scratch as a multi-module project around mythicrod-api, mythicrod-common, and mythicrod-paper. The Paper runtime hosts everything live: Brigadier commands, GUIs, fishing listener, scheduler bridge, and the optional Nexo integration. The API module is the contract surface external plugins compile against. A small mythicrod-spigot skeleton ships alongside so a Spigot jar exists for legacy servers (the supported runtime is still Paper).

Highlights worth calling out:

• Drop tables are weighted, biome-scoped, and tier-aware. drops.yml is reloaded atomically and the live table swap is single-flight.
• Custom rods carry their tier in PersistentDataContainer, so server restarts and inventory moves keep the rod identity intact.
• Statistics are recorded per player, written through a save cadence you can tune, and visible in /mythicrod stats plus a leaderboard. Persistence uses statistics.yml so backups stay trivial.
• The GUI hub covers config toggles, drop edits, rod selection, stats, and a language picker that enumerates available locales at runtime.
• Folia is treated as a first target: the listener, scheduler service, and reward delivery path all hand off to the owning region thread instead of assuming a single main thread.
• A MythicRodAPI service is published through the Bukkit ServicesManager. External plugins can register weighted drop providers, query stats, or listen for the reward roll and catch events.
• Brigadier command suggestions are sourced from live state. You only see drop IDs, categories, biomes, and player names that actually exist on the server right now.
• /mythicrod config and /mythicrod settings (alias) cover the same edit surface: sounds, particles, statistics, biome-drops, permissions, debug, delivery-mode, language, and stats-save-interval. Changes write straight to config.yml and apply live.
• Bundled languages: en_US and ja_JP. Crowdin is wired up for the rest, and unknown locales fall back to a neutral skin in the language menu instead of breaking the layout.

If you tried earlier 1.0.x builds, treat them as deleted. Versions reset to a calendar scheme so the plugin version cannot be mistaken for a Minecraft version. 2026.1.0 means: first cut of 2026.
