v2.0 - The Economy & Ghost Update

Date: 2026-06-13

The biggest update yet to sTimeSteal! Version 2.0 brings massive changes to how time is managed, stolen, and spent.

✨ New Features:

• Ghost Mode: Eliminated players are no longer stuck in standard Spectator mode or banned. They now become invisible "Ghosts" in Adventure mode. Ghosts cannot break/place blocks, pick up/drop items, deal damage, or take damage. They must rely on others to craft a Revive Beacon.
• Time Bank System: Added /timebank. Players can now deposit time into a safe bank to protect it from death penalties. Server owners can configure a deposit fee (default 5%) to combat time inflation.
• Bounty System: Added /bounty. You can now place bounties on other players using your own time! The killer automatically receives the bounty reward upon securing the kill.
• Leaderboards: Added /timetop to display the top 10 wealthiest players (combining their on-hand time and banked time).
• Grace Period: New players now get a configurable grace period where their time cannot be stolen, and they cannot steal from others.
• Time-Infused Abilities: Added two new craftable items (configured in recipes.yml):
  • Time Sword: Drains 5 minutes per hit but deals heavy bonus damage.
  • Time Shield: Instantly consumes 30 minutes to reverse a fatal blow, restoring your health and preventing death.
• Beacon Tiers: Introduced the Greater Revive Beacon, crafted with an Emerald Block, which grants the revived player twice the standard starting time!

🔧 Tweaks & Fixes:

• Optimized TimeManager data saving. Leaderboards and banks are now updated efficiently without causing server lag.
• Improved GUI interactions for the Revive Beacon.

(Note: Make sure to let config.yml and recipes.yml regenerate, or manually add the new config sections for the 2.0 features!)
