[1.1.8] - 2026-02-08

Added

Kit Commands - Kits can now execute server commands when claimed

• Add a commands list to any kit in kits.json to run commands on claim
• Commands execute as console with full permissions, just like PlayTime Rewards
• Supports {player} and %player% placeholders for the claiming player's name
• Works from all claim paths: /kit <name>, the kit GUI, and starter kits on first join
• Can run ANY registered server command, including commands from other plugins
• Example: give items, set permissions, add to groups, grant economy rewards, trigger other plugin commands

Example kits.json with commands:

{
  "id": "vip",
  "displayName": "VIP Kit",
  "commands": [
    "eco add {player} 500",
    "lp user {player} group add vip",
    "broadcast {player} claimed the VIP kit!"
  ]
}

Changed

Vanish Fake Messages - Now uses standard join/leave messages

• Vanish fake join/leave messages now use the same joinMessage and leaveMessage as regular player joins/leaves
• Removed separate vanishFakeJoin and vanishFakeLeave config messages for consistency
• No functional change - vanish still broadcasts fake messages when mimicJoinLeave is enabled

Fixed

Vanish Performance Optimization - Fixed lag spike when admin uses /vanish on 50+ player servers

• Toggling vanish with all hide settings enabled (hideFromList, hideFromMap, mimicJoinLeave, mobImmunity) previously ran 5 separate full iterations over all online players, causing a noticeable lag spike
• Merged visibility and player list updates into a single pass over all players instead of 3 separate loops
• Pre-build RemoveFromServerPlayerList packet once and reuse it for all players instead of creating a new packet per player
• Removed redundant updateMapFiltersForAll() call - the map filter lambda already captures the live vanishedPlayers set by reference, so it picks up changes automatically each tick without needing to be re-applied
• Replaced player-search loop in updateMobImmunity() with direct O(1) lookup from the stored playerStoreRefs map
• Net result: vanish toggle goes from ~250+ iterations with packet I/O down to ~50 (single pass) for a 50-player server

Economy ClassNotFoundException Fix - Graceful handling when VaultUnlocked classes are missing

• Fixed crash when using commands with costs (e.g., /rtp) without VaultUnlocked installed
• Added defensive error handling in EconomyAPI to catch NoClassDefFoundError
• Commands now gracefully fall back to internal economy when external economy classes are unavailable
• Added warning logs to help diagnose economy integration issues
• Affects: /rtp, /home, /warp, /kit, and any command with configured costs

Spawn protection – F-key item pickup (flowers, pebbles, etc.)

• Item pickup protection in spawn now correctly blocks picking up world-placed items (flowers, pebbles, mushrooms, etc.) when using the F (interact) key
• Previously the "Item pickups are disabled in spawn" message appeared but the item was still picked up and removed from the world
• Root cause: InteractivelyPickupItemEvent.setCancelled(true) is ignored by the Hytale API
• Fix: Registered a custom UseBlockInteraction that intercepts at the interaction level before the event fires; in protected spawn areas the interaction is not executed, so the pickup never occurs
• When only disableItemPickup is enabled, functional blocks (doors, chests, benches, etc.) remain usable in spawn; only "pickup" blocks (flowers, pebbles, mushrooms) are blocked
• New file: SpawnUseBlockInteraction.java in interactions package; registered in plugin setup via Interaction codec registry
