For hardcore servers:
pedestal:

| Abilities not working | Check energy level (broken at 0) |
| Can't select gem | Already have one? Use trade instead |
| No particles | Check `effects.particles_enabled` in config |
| Commands not found | Ensure plugin loaded: `/plugins` |
| Recipes not working | `/ba giveitem` for manual giving |
Performance Tips
- Particles run on paper async threads
- Passive abilities only tick when needed
- Reduce `save-interval` if seeing lag (less frequent saves)
Debug Mode
Enable in `config.yml`:
```yaml
settings:
debug: true
```
