Version 1.0.4 - Major Overhaul Release 🐛 Bug Fixes Mutation System

✅ Fixed mutation percentage normalization - Now properly handles config values that sum to 100% or less ✅ Fixed fallback behavior - When total mutation chance < 100%, remaining percentage becomes normal zombies ✅ Added config validation - Plugin now validates mutation chances and warns if they exceed 100% AI & Pathfinding

✅ Fixed AI targeting conflicts - Removed excessive zombie.setTarget() calls that interfered with Bukkit's pathfinding ✅ Fixed erratic movement - Replaced velocity-based hacks with proper pathfinding approaches ✅ Improved obstacle avoidance - Enhanced navigation without causing erratic zombie motion Spawning System

✅ Fixed spawn location validation - Improved spawn point checking to prevent zombies spawning in invalid locations ✅ Fixed chunk density tracking - Properly handles zombie counts per chunk for mutation surge warnings ✨ New Features New Mutation Types

🔧 New Features & Improvements Group Spawning System

Now spawns zombies in groups of 2-6 initially. Group size increases by +1 per day (Day 1: 2-6, Day 2: 2-7, etc.). Blood Moon effect: Doubles spawn group size for extra difficulty. Uses optimized spawn attempts to reduce failed spawns. Enhanced Sensing & Tracking

Zombies detect players within 50 blocks, ignoring walls. Prioritizes nearest player efficiently (squared distance checks). During Blood Moons, zombies have permanent Night Vision. Improved Pathfinding

Obstacle avoidance (zombies path around blocks better). Auto-jump when stuck. Sideways path correction if blocked. Ladder/Vine climbing support. Swimming & Water Navigation

Zombies now swim with Dolphin's Grace effect. Move faster toward players in water. Optimized Performance

AI updates run every 10 ticks (0.5s) instead of every tick, reducing lag. Efficient group spawn checker (reduces chunk load). Cracks down on unnecessary calculations (distance checks). Bug Fixes & Enhancements

Fixed zombies getting stuck easily on blocks. Better collision handling during movement. More consistent Blood Moon effects (applies to all zombies).

Bug Fixes and Improvements Removed the non-existent method setCanBurnInDay(boolean) from zombie creation methods. Ensured that the MobBurnPreventionListener effectively cancels the combustion event for zombies exposed to sunlight. Improved logging for better debugging and tracking of events. Enhanced configuration file (config.yml) to include detailed settings for mutation rates and zombie stats. Configuration Changes config.yml Added sections for mutation_rates and zombie_stats to allow for easy customization of zombie behaviors and attributes. Included a data section to track the current day in the game.
