NationWars

Nation Wars 0.1.8 Beta

This beta focuses on making the main systems easier to use in-game and smoother to test on servers.

New UI Work

• Added a /nation create menu: pick an available doctrine first, then type the nation name in chat.
• Doctrines already used by another nation no longer appear in the creation menu.
• Added a /nations menu with country block icons:
  • Germany: Netherite Block
  • Soviet Union: Redstone Block
  • United States: Diamond Block
  • France: Iron Block
  • United Kingdom: Lapis Block
  • Italy: Emerald Block
  • Romania: Copper Block
• /nations now hides doctrine and ideology details, keeping that information in the doctrine UI instead.
• Added a /war and /war status menu for active wars, justifications, join requests, peace, and surrender command hints.

War Capture Changes

• War capture progress now appears as a Minecraft boss bar instead of only chat/timer text.
• Leaving an enemy chunk no longer resets capture progress immediately.
• Capture progress decays slowly while the attacker is away and resumes if they return before it reaches zero.
• Capture progress pauses when a defender is present in the chunk.

Claim And Map Improvements

• NationWars now tries to name mirrored Open Parties and Claims claims after the nation instead of the player.
• The mod continues to mirror claims into Open Parties and Claims for Xaero minimap/world map overlays.
• Startup OPAC syncing remains in place so claims recover after restarting a world/server.

Fixes And Cleanup

• Fixed pending nation creation prompts being able to linger after logout, restart, joining another nation, or reopening the menu.
• Fixed a possible invalid/blank nation name path after selecting a doctrine.
• Cleaned up old nation creation command state from the first UI version.
• Updated the README for the new 0.1.8 testing flow.

This is still marked as beta because the new UI flow and OPAC/Xaero claim naming need more multiplayer testing.
