SpawnProtection

Added

• Mob Protection – New time-limited protection against mobs and monsters, primarily aimed at first-join grace periods. While active, all mob/monster damage is cancelled, but PvP damage still goes through normally.
  • Configurable via mob-protection.first-join-seconds (default: 300)
  • Can be toggled with the new mob-protection.enabled flag
  • Automatically granted to first-time joiners alongside spawn protection, but managed independently from it
  • Players receive messages when mob protection starts and ends (mob-protection-started, mob-protection-ended)
  • Player-shot projectiles are correctly treated as PvP, not as mob damage

Changed

• All time settings now use seconds instead of minutes for greater precision and consistency. Affected: protection duration, first-join duration, claim duration, required online time, and related settings.
  • default-minutes → default-seconds
  • first-join-minutes → first-join-seconds
• Today playtime tracking refactored from minute-based to second-based tracking for more granular accuracy.
• /spawnprotection claim messages and calculations now reference seconds.

Performance

• Today playtime now caches base values to avoid repeated disk reads.
• Save frequency optimized: data is now persisted once per minute instead of on every increment, reducing disk I/O.

⚠️ Migration Note

All time-related config values changed from minutes to seconds. Existing configs are not auto-converted – update your values manually (e.g. 5 minutes → 300 seconds) or regenerate the config.
