Solo Mining

## ⚔️ Solo Mining 1.3.0

### 💀 Death in a gate

Falling in the valley used to mean the full vanilla punishment: inventory on the floor, experience gone, and a long walk back past everything that killed you. That was the single biggest source of frustration, so it is gone.

*   🛟 **The lethal hit is intercepted before death happens.** Nothing drops, because you never actually die – there is no pile of items waiting somewhere in the dark.
*   📍 **You respawn at the start of the valley**, right where you entered.
*   💚 **A few seconds of Resistance and Regeneration** so you do not simply fall over again, plus fire, poison and wither are cleared and your food bar is topped up.
*   ⚙️ Switches: `dungeonDeathRescue` (on), `dungeonDeathRescueHealthPercent` (50), `dungeonDeathRescueGraceSeconds` (6). Turning it off restores the normal vanilla death.

### ⏳ A time limit you can always see

Every run now carries a clock, and it sits **permanently in the info box** – no command, no guessing. When the time is up the gate closes: the monsters are removed, everyone is sent back to their own world, and the run counts as failed. Warnings arrive five minutes and one minute before the end.

*   ⏸️ **The clock only runs while somebody is actually inside the valley.** Stepping out, logging off or taking a break costs you nothing.
*   ⚙️ `dungeonTimeLimitMinutes` (20, `0` disables the limit entirely) and `dungeonTimeLimitMinutesPerRank` (5) – so Rank E gets 20 minutes and Rank S★ gets 55. `showDungeonTimer` (on).

### 👑 Four new boss abilities

*   🌀 **Void Salvo** – homing projectiles you have to dodge.
*   🪨 **Collapse** – chunks of rock come down from above.
*   ☠️ **Plague Cloud** – poison and wither in a radius, from the second boss phase on.
*   🛡️ **Aegis** – the boss shields itself for a short while, from the second boss phase on.

### 🧹 Your world folder stops growing forever

Until now **every finished instance stayed on disk for good**, and every new gate claimed its own slot in the gate dimension that was never reused. Measured in the development world: **four runs = 58 MB**, and it grew with every gate after that.

*   ♻️ Finished runs are cleaned up after a grace period, and their slot is reused by the next gate.
*   ⌛ **The grace period starts when the _last_ player leaves the instance**, so looting the reward chest at your own pace after the boss will never pull it out from under you.
*   ⚙️ `cleanupFinishedInstances` (on), `instanceCleanupMinutes` (10), `abandonedLobbyCleanupMinutes` (30, for lobbies that were never started), `recycleInstanceSlots` (on).

### 🛡️ Servers: the intrusive commands now need permission

`/solomining spawn`, `close` and `expire` require operator level 2. Before this, **anyone on a server could hand themselves gates or end somebody else's run**. The self-help commands (`ready`, `exit`, `return`, `rescue`, `ping`, `where`) stay open to everyone.

Nothing changes in singleplayer: if you can type commands there, you already have cheats enabled. Switches: `adminCommandsRequireOp` (on), `adminCommandPermissionLevel` (2).

### 🐛 Fixed

*   🌸 **No gate would open in a flower field.** Grass, flowers and wildflowers counted as occupied ground, so in flowery landscapes the search for a spot failed completely and the portal ended up right at your feet instead of somewhere out in the world. Plants are now simply built over – torches, signs and other built things still block, as they should.
*   🗣️ The “X is ready” message was hard-coded in German and ignored your language setting.
