ElbaphFactions v1.3.41 - Critical Hotfix

Release Date: January 26, 2025   Type: Hotfix Release

Critical Bug Fixes

Chat System

• Fixed username disappearing in chat when not in a faction - Root cause: ChatDeathDetectionListener was overwriting the proper chat formatter - Chat now always displays username with proper formatting - Integrated LuckPerms prefix/suffix support into chat formatting

Combat & Protection

• Fixed weapon durability loss in SafeZones - Weapons no longer lose durability when used in SafeZones - Implemented SafeZoneDurabilityProtection system to restore durability - Works in conjunction with existing PvP protection

• Implemented power gain on kill - Added powerGainOnKill config setting (default: 1.0) - Killer's faction now gains power when killing enemy faction members - Victim's faction loses power as intended - Added debug logging for power transactions

Faction Features

• Fixed health bars showing for non-faction members - Health bars now only display for players in your faction - Removed non-functional color codes from health bar formatting - Display: ❤ ████████░░ 80/100 [Might look buggy!]

• Fixed ally request system - Changed from auto-accept to proper request-based system - Target faction leaders/officers receive notification - Mutual requests auto-accept (both factions must agree) - Added Discord webhook notifications for alliance formation & future events!

Diplomacy

• Added Discord webhooks for diplomacy events - Alliance formation notifications - War declaration notifications - Uses existing webhook configuration

Permission System

• Improved faction permission logic - Created separate methods: canBreak(), canPlace(), canInteract() - Proper permission hierarchy: members → allies → enemies → outsiders - Fixed permission evaluation order

New Features
