⚔️ StrengthSMP v1.1.0 Changelog

🔒 New Feature: Weapon Binding System (/bind)

Bind your class weapon to your soul to ensure you never lose your competitive edge:

• Binding Interface: Run /bind to open a custom 27-slot GUI with confirmation slots and real-time validation.
• Costs: Binding a new weapon costs 3 Strength. Swapping to a different class weapon costs 1 Strength.
• Keep-on-Death & Loyalty Return: Bound items are kept in your inventory when you die. Upon respawning, a custom spinning Loyalty-style animation launches the weapon back into your hands, knocking back any intermediate entities in its flight path.
• Accidental Drop Prevention: Drop inputs (Q) are silently cancelled for bound items.
• Statistics Grimoires: The binding GUI displays 5 custom stats-tracking books:
  1. Souls Harvested: Tracks cumulative PvP kills and lists your recent victims.
  2. Damage Dealt: Tracks total cumulative damage dealt.
  3. Soul Sacrifices: Tracks deaths occurred while holding the weapon.
  4. Duration Bound: Shows elapsed real-time since binding.
  5. Ability Triggers: Counts active class ability uses.

🎲 New Feature: Animated Reroll Book GUI

• Right-clicking a Reroll Book (Weapon Reroll grimoire item) now triggers a cinematic, crate-style scrolling shuffle screen (WeaponShuffleGUI).
• The GUI scrolls through all available classes and dynamically decelerates, ending on your new destiny with thunder sounds and visual particles.
• Anti-Exploit: Closing the inventory early immediately finalizes the choice to prevent rollback exploits.

🧩 PlaceholderAPI Additions

We have expanded our placeholders to support the new binding features:

• %strengthsmp_has_bound_weapon% — Returns Yes or No if the player has a bound weapon.
• %strengthsmp_bound_weapon_class% — Returns the display name of the bound weapon (e.g. Sword, Axe) or None.

⚙️ Universal Compatibility & Stability Patches

• Dynamic Skulls Fallback: Rewrote profile generation to use reflection-based Mojang GameProfile on older versions (1.16.5 - 1.17) and Spigot's PlayerProfile API on 1.18+, eliminating startup class-loading crashes.
• Safe Particle & Sound Resolvers: Added runtime resolvers with retro-compatibility fallbacks to ensure modern particles (e.g. Sculk/Sonic boom) and sounds don't crash servers running older Minecraft versions.
• 1.20.5+ Particle Migration: Automatically maps legacy block crack particles to the new consolidated block particle system on 1.20.5+ / 1.21+ servers.
