MerlinBooks: Forbidden Spells Unleashed

📖 MerlinBooks v7.0 Changelog 🔥 Major Features & Balancing

Enchantment Cap System: Introduced a strict limitation on how many Merlin enchantments can exist on a single item to maintain server balance.

Configurable Limits: Server owners can now globally adjust the maximum allowed enchantments per item via the new settings.max-enchants-per-item node in config.yml (Defaults to 4).

Anvil Integration: The Anvil UI has been updated to automatically reject and block enchanted books that would push an item over the maximum enchantment limit.

Command Protection: Added safety checks to the /mb chant command so admins cannot accidentally force an enchantment onto an already maxed-out weapon.

⚙️ Under-the-Hood Optimizations & Bug Fixes

Anti-Cheat Safety: Removed the deprecated isOnGround() API calls and replaced them with direct block-checks beneath the player to prevent hacked clients from tricking the server.

Modern Java Implementation: Completely refactored resolveTargetBlocks to use highly optimized Java 14+ switch expressions for faster mineral lookups.

NPE Protection: Heavily reinforced the code with strict null-checks around getKeys() and getValue() to eliminate the risk of NullPointerExceptions crashing the plugin.

Lambda Optimization: Shrunk down heavy BukkitRunnable lambdas into cleaner, faster expression lambdas.

API Stability: Safely isolated and suppressed Spigot's experimental AnvilView API warnings.

General Cleanup: Removed all unused imports, inverted redundant booleans, and silenced false-positive spellchecking warnings across the entire engine.

This version is completely balanced, highly optimized, and warning-free. Ready to deploy! Let me know if you need to squeeze anything else into this update before you ship it.
