[Smart] Ai Echoes Multiplayer (Fixed/Remake) V7.10

═══════════════════════════════════

🔥 V7.10 UPDATE — MAJOR STABILITY FIX

═══════════════════════════════════

This update fixes the critical "AI not spawning" issue that many of you reported in the comments. Huge thanks for your patience and detailed bug reports — they made this fix possible!

🐛 CRITICAL FIX: AI Now Spawns Properly!

─────────────────────────────────

Found and fixed the root cause of AI not appearing in the world:

• A silent script crash (Peacemaker chat system) was blocking ALL systems that loaded after it — including the spawner itself

• AI was missing the "persistent" component, causing them to instantly despawn on low-end devices/mobile (low simulation distance)

• Spawn location search was scanning from the sky or deep underground instead of the player's actual floor level

• All initialization functions are now wrapped in error handling, so one broken system can never block the rest again

If you experienced 0 AI spawning before, this update should fix it completely.

─────────────────────────────────

🎲 NEW: Weighted Group Spawning

─────────────────────────────────

AI no longer spawns one at a time — now they spawn in realistic group sizes, just like a real server:

• 1 player joins: 46% chance

• 2 players join together: 31% chance

• 3 players join together: 15% chance

• 5 players join together: 8% chance

─────────────────────────────────

👥 NEW: Global Population Cap (20/20)

─────────────────────────────────

• Maximum of 20 AI players can exist in the world at once (across Overworld, Nether, and End combined)

• When the cap is full and new AI try to join, the AI that has been in the world the LONGEST will automatically leave (with a fake "left the game" message) to make room

• This keeps performance stable and prevents AI overpopulation while still feeling like an active server

─────────────────────────────────

📍 SPAWN IMPROVEMENTS

─────────────────────────────────

• AI now spawns 8–40 blocks from the player (closer, more visible)

• AI spawns on the SAME floor/surface level as the player (no more spawning in caves or on mountain tops you can't see)

• Faster first spawn — AI can appear within seconds of joining the world

• Reduced spawn cooldowns for more frequent natural spawning

─────────────────────────────────

💬 CHAT FIXES

─────────────────────────────────

• Chat messages now ONLY come from real AI players that exist in the world — no more fake random names

• AI now chats spontaneously based on their actual name and situation (idle, near player, nighttime, etc.)

• Join/leave/death messages all use real AI names tied to actual entities

─────────────────────────────────

⚔️ COMBAT & SAFETY FIXES

─────────────────────────────────

• AI will NOT randomly attack you anymore — they only fight back if YOU hit them first

• Fixed AI swimming in circles (stuck-in-water detection + auto-teleport to surface)

• Fixed AI "staring into the abyss" — idle AI now actively re-engage and move toward nearby players

• AI now respawns NEAR the player instead of at world spawn

─────────────────────────────────

🧭 QUALITY OF LIFE

─────────────────────────────────

• Type "where", "find", or "locate" in chat to get an on-screen compass pointing to the nearest AI

• Debug logging added throughout the spawn system for easier troubleshooting
