Patch Notes 1.36.0

Changes & Updates

The Shurikenjutsu Update!

• Full Shurikenjutsu projectile system rewrite introducing a unified ninja-tool base, per-tool mastery progression, chakra infusion, ammo scrolls, and proper config control over every thrown tool
• Per-tool mastery - every tool family (Kunai, Small Shuriken, Large Shuriken, Senbon) levels independently from throwing it; mastery scales velocity, accuracy and damage and unlocks Chakra Infusion at mastery level 20
• Chakra Infusion - sneak-right-click any ninja tool to cycle through nature releases you own. On-hit effects per element:
  • Fire: 3s burn
  • Water: Slowness II 3s
  • Wind: ×1.2 throw velocity
  • Earth: heavy upward + forward knockback
  • Lightning: Slowness III 1s
  • Yin: Weakness 3s
  • Yang: Blindness 1s
• Ninja Tool Scrolls - new permanent storage scrolls (kunai / small shuriken / large shuriken / senbon / universal) that hold up to 1280 tools and burst-fire a bunch of them on right-click. Sneak-right-click vacuums matching tools from your inventory; clicking a stack onto the scroll inside your inventory permanently deposits it
• New /mastery toolmastery sub-command for ninjatools
• ShurikenjutsuConfig.cfg: every tool tunable (base/scaling damage per stat, throw cooldown, chakra cost, infusion cost, mastery requirement, projectile count, spread, pickup behavior, consumption), plus per-scroll burst size and chakra cost
• Wired Shuriken: A simple shuriken that slows down hit enemies. Sold by the weapon ninja trader

New Jutsus!

• Twin Rising Dragons - Tenten's signature. Spawns two orbiting scrolls that fire an omnidirectional barrage of mixed ninja tools. Added to the ninja too trader for 2 stacks of Gold Ryo (very low chance)
• Rooftile no Jutsu - absolute insane new ultimate jutsu for the Sarutobi clan
• Dust Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique - grants flight like Desert Suspension / Paper Wings (Dust Release skill learner)

Paper Release (Kekkei Genkai)!

• Brand-new Paper Release KKG with 6 jutsus:
  • Paper Shuriken - +1 projectile per 10 levels (up to 11 at 100)
  • Paper Bunshin - a simple clone, but paper
  • Paper Wings - toggled flight with periodic chakra drain
  • Paper Overlay - 10-shot volley that applies Slowness II to anyone hit 5+ times in a cast
  • Dance of the Shikigami - 5s Kamui-style ghost mode
  • Paper Person of God Technique - ultimate. Builds two JutsuPaper walls flanking the target with a corridor of paper bombs between them

Paper Bomb Overhaul!

• New PaperBombItem - places onto blocks, up to 8 per face, 5-second auto-detonating sticky fuse
• Chain-detonation: paper bombs in the same explosion radius cascade detonate; high-density stacks consolidate into one bigger explosion to improve performance

Other Changes

• Aliases added to a lot of commands
• New Flying Thunder Kunai model + matching renderer
• New shuriken model
• Senbon stream rebalance: throw cooldown halved (5 → 2 ticks) and Senbon now opts into i-frame reduction so a sustained needle volley actually accumulates damage instead of bouncing off vanilla's 10-tick i-frame
• Hidden Weapon Barrage and Rasengan now honor their config values
• Removed the "Material Katanas" (wood, stone etc) from the Ninja Trader, as you can craft them easily. That should improve chances for ninja tools to appear in the trader

Bug Fixes

• Fixed MoonBunshin damage scaling not respecting config
• Fixed jutsu cooldown display breaking after the recent security update
• Fixed /levelup not respecting SP/JP gain configured in NarutoEXPConfig
• Fixed DNA recipe data loss
• Fixed TaijutsuConfig not syncing to the client
• Fixed Kurama Clan: Herd of Illusion Wolves not respecting minion slot limit
• Fixed melee-based summons not earning mastery XP
• Fixed Explosive Spiders ignoring minion slots
• Fixed /sstage and added alias /susanoo
• Fixed Yamanaka: Thought Burn not dealing player damage
• Fixed JutsuConfig.cfg: Now cleans up all RequiredRelease: "" instances when loading up
• Improved Reaper Death Seal: Shinigami now always renders behind the player and reduced default chakra cost by a lot as the main cost comes from sacrificing HP anyways (gotta regenerate your JutsuConfig or reduce it yourself if you want this change to apply)
• Ketsuryugan and Byakugan now give a deactivatino message on disabling them per hotkey
• Bumped any summon speed below 0.45 to at least 0.45–0.5 across the board
• Every kunai/shuriken/senbon now flies through EntityThrownNinjaTool, replacing the vanilla EntityArrow logic and it's damage*speed issues

Server owners should review the new ShurikenjutsuConfig.cfg before pushing this to their playerbase - every tool, scroll, and the mastery curve are tunable. Also since /sstage was reworked and the "size" subcommand was removed, check your usage of this command.

Dev Note

We want Shurikenjutsu to be both a supporting act in actual main builds while still at least giving enough stuff so die-hard fans can make it their main build aswell. Like with the other big reworks, there will probably be bugs to be found and issues to be eradicated so please post everything you find in our discord
