How Meito Works

• Eligible Blade Potential - Eligible weapons are assigned a hidden Meito potential from configurable main-hand attack damage thresholds, with canon overrides for specific blades such as Wado Ichimonji and Nidai Kitetsu
• Named Blade Progression - Giving the weapon a real name is what allows it to enter natural Meito progression
• Tier-by-Tier Growth - A blade climbs one step at a time through Grade, Skillful Grade, Great Grade, and Supreme Grade instead of jumping straight to its final potential
• World Meito Pools - Natural awakenings use world-limited pools for each tier so rare Meito blades stay limited and meaningful
• Direct Grade Mode - Added a config option to skip natural progression entirely so eligible weapons immediately use their highest configured or canon Meito grade

How Meito Trials Work

• Core Trial Requirements - Every Meito promotion tracks wield time and strong enemy kills with that specific blade
• Haki for Higher Tiers - Great Grade and Supreme Grade also require Busoshoku Haki imbue time, while Grade and Skillful Grade do not
• One Trial per Promotion - Completing a trial only promotes the weapon to the next rank, then the next trial begins if the blade still has higher potential
• Pool-Locked Awakening - If the natural pool for the next tier is full, the blade keeps its progress and waits until a slot opens
• Config-Controlled Entry - Attack band thresholds and tool exclusion options let servers decide which weapons can enter natural Meito progression

Using the System

• Start with an Eligible Weapon - Use a weapon that meets the configured Meito thresholds or has a canon Meito override
• Name the Blade - Named weapons can begin natural Meito progression; unnamed weapons do not naturally advance
• Fight with the Blade - Use the weapon in real combat to build wield time and strong kill progress, then imbue Haki for Great and Supreme attempts
• Track Progress In-Game - Tooltips and status output now show Meito information in a cleaner, more compact format with easier-to-read grade text
• Testing Command - Added /blackblade completemeitotrial <grade> for admin balancing and Meito trial testing
• Black Blade Display Bonus - Forged Black Blades display one Meito tier higher than their underlying base Meito grade

Zitoen Piece Compatibility (1.16.5 Only)

• BlackBlades-First Compatibility Mode - BlackBlades can now act as the main grade and black blade system when Zitoen Piece is installed on 1.16.5
• New Config Toggle - Added useBlackBladesSystemsForZitoenPiece, enabled by default, to choose whether BlackBlades or Zitoen Piece owns those overlapping systems
• Zitoen Grade Bridging - Zitoen grade checks now read from BlackBlades Meito state while compat mode is active
• Shared Combat Handling - Zitoen's grade combat bonuses no longer stack on top of BlackBlades when BlackBlades is selected as the main system
• Shared Black Blade Ownership - Zitoen's black blade progression no longer competes with BlackBlades while compat mode is active
• Cleaner Tooltip Integration - Duplicate Zitoen grade tooltip output is suppressed so Meito and black blade info stays readable
• Fallback Option Preserved - Turning the config off restores Zitoen Piece's native grade and black blade behavior
