Nightmare (The Shadow)

Nightmare — v1.3.0 Changelog

Darkness Rework

• Darkness is now applied in two tiers:
  • The Shadow's active target player receives Darkness when within 16 blocks.
  • Any other player who strays within 5 blocks of the Shadow receives Darkness regardless of whether they are the target.
• On a direct hit the Shadow still applies a stronger Darkness (level II) to whoever it strikes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a state machine bug where the Shadow returning from RETREATING or BAITING states did not properly reset its internal light-wait timer, causing it to immediately disengage from the player again after returning.
• Fixed shadow announcements not resetting their timer when nightmare mode was re-enabled — the first announcement now always fires at a consistent time after activation.
• Fixed the Shadow's active target being looked up via NightmareData twice per tick during player sleep detection — now reuses the already-fetched instance.

Code Cleanup

• OpenTrapdoorGoal is now properly registered — the Shadow will open trapdoors it encounters while navigating.
• Removed the unused darknessRange config entry (darkness range is now determined by game logic, not config).
• Duplicate light-block set between DestroyTorchGoal and NightmareEventHandler consolidated into a single shared definition.
• Duplicate ground-finding logic in ShadowBrain consolidated into the existing findValidGround utility on ShadowEntity.
• Duplicate permission check in NightmareCommand extracted into a shared method.
