🔥 BuffMobs v2.3.0 - Major Update!

✨ New Features

🌍 Dimension-Specific Scaling

• 5 configurable dimension slots - Set unique buff multipliers for specific dimensions!
• Smart scaling logic: If main config has buffs, dimension scaling multiplies them. If main config is disabled, dimension scaling applies to vanilla stats
• Perfect for modpacks: Make the Nether extra challenging, or buff mobs only in specific dimensions
• Examples:
  • Nether mobs with 2x health and 1.5x damage
  • End mobs with 3x attack speed
  • Custom dimension support

🎨 Visual Buff Indicators

• Colored particle effects show which buffs mobs have:
  • 🔴 Red particles: Health buffs active
  • 🟠 Orange particles: Damage buffs active
  • 🟡 Yellow particles: Attack speed buffs active
• Toggleable per effect type - Enable/disable each visual effect independently
• Performance optimized - Particles spawn smartly without lag

🔧 Technical Improvements

⚙️ Enhanced Configuration

• Detailed tooltips for all dimension scaling options
• Clear examples of dimension names (e.g., minecraft:the_nether)
• Better organization with grouped settings
• User-friendly descriptions explaining what each multiplier does

🎯 Better Effect Display

• Fixed potion effect icons - Now properly shows effect levels (I, II, III, etc.)
• Infinity symbol (∞) for permanent effects
• Improved visibility of mob status effects

📈 Calculation Formula

The new scaling system works as follows:

Final Value = (Main Config × Dimension Scaling × Day Scaling)

Examples:

• Main health = 2.0x, Nether dimension = 1.5x, Day 7 = 1.1x → 3.3x health
• Main health = 1.0x (disabled), End dimension = 2.0x → 2.0x health (vanilla base)

🔄 Backwards Compatibility

• ✅ All existing configs work without changes
• ✅ Existing features unchanged - day scaling, mob filtering, etc.
• ✅ Performance maintained - no impact on existing setups
• ✅ Optional features - new visual effects can be disabled

🛠️ Configuration Examples

Basic Nether Scaling

[dimensionScaling.slot1]
dimensionName = "minecraft:the_nether"
healthMultiplier = 2.0    # Double health
damageMultiplier = 1.5    # 50% more damage

End Game Challenge

[dimensionScaling.slot2]
dimensionName = "minecraft:the_end"
healthMultiplier = 3.0        # Triple health
attackSpeedMultiplier = 2.0   # Double attack speed
armorAddition = 5.0           # +5 armor points

Custom Dimension Support

[dimensionScaling.slot3]  
dimensionName = "twilightforest:twilight_forest"
healthMultiplier = 1.8
speedMultiplier = 1.3

🎮 Perfect For

• 🏰 Modpack creators wanting dimension-specific difficulty
• ⚔️ Players who want visual feedback on mob strength
• 🔧 Server admins needing fine-tuned balance per dimension
• 📦 Mod integration with custom dimensions

📊 What This Means

• More strategic gameplay - Know mob strength at a glance

• Final Nether Health = 3.0x (2.0 × 1.5)
• Day scaling still applies on top of dimension scaling
• Armor values are additive instead of multiplicative

1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft
2. Open Mod Menu from the main menu or pause screen
3. Find BuffMobs in the mod list
4. Click the config button to open the configuration screen
5. Configure dimension scaling in the new "Dimension Scaling" category

  • modidFilter.useWhitelist: Enable whitelist mode for mod filtering
  • modidFilter.whitelist: Only mobs from these mods will be buffed (default: minecraft)
  • modidFilter.blacklist: Mobs from these mods will never be buffed

• Dimension Filtering: Control which dimensions BuffMobs affects

  • dimensionFilter.useWhitelist: Enable whitelist mode for dimension filtering
  • dimensionFilter.whitelist: Only these dimensions will be affected (default: overworld, nether, end)
  • dimensionFilter.blacklist: These dimensions will never be affected

🔧 Improvements

• Centralized Filtering: All mob validation logic moved to FilterUtil for better maintainability
• Better Code Organization: Removed duplicate validation code across handlers
• Enhanced Compatibility: Maintains backward compatibility with existing configurations

🏗️ Technical Changes

• Updated Files: All event handlers now use the centralized filtering system

📋 Configuration Examples

Example 1: Only affect Minecraft mobs in Overworld

[modidFilter]
    useWhitelist = true
    whitelist = ["minecraft"]

[dimensionFilter]
    useWhitelist = true
    whitelist = ["minecraft:overworld"]

Example 2: Exclude certain modded dimensions

[dimensionFilter]
    blacklist = ["twilightforest:twilight_forest", "aether:the_aether"]

Example 3: Only buff mobs from specific mods

[modidFilter]
    useWhitelist = true
    whitelist = ["minecraft", "alexsmobs", "mutantbeasts"]

⚠️ Breaking Changes

None - All existing configurations remain fully compatible.

BuffMobs - Changelog

Version 2.1.1

• Fixed Hitboxes too high issues.

BuffMobs Mod - Changelog

Version 2.1.0 - Major Update

🔧 Fixed Critical Issues

• Fixed game crashes related to mob spawning system
• Fixed mobs not spawning with full health - Mobs now always spawn with 100% of their maximum health
• Fixed attack speed not working properly - Attack speed multipliers now actually work and make mobs attack faster

⚖️ Balanced Default Values

• Changed default multipliers from 1.5x to 1.0x - This means no buffs are applied by default
• 1.0 = Vanilla Minecraft behavior (no changes to mobs)
• Values above 1.0 = Buffed mobs (stronger than vanilla)
• 0 = Disabled feature (for armor and effects)

🎯 Improved Attack Speed System

• Complete rewrite of the attack speed system for better performance
• True attack speed scaling - Mobs actually attack faster, not just have higher attack speed stats
• Smart timer override - Bypasses Minecraft's internal cooldowns while keeping damage calculations intact
• Mobs still take normal damage from fire, lava, falls, and player attacks (only their attack speed is affected)

🌅 New Day Scaling Notifications (New Feature)

• Beautiful chat notifications when a new day starts (only when day scaling is enabled)
• Shows current scaling multiplier and days remaining until next increase
• Customizable notification modes:
  • EVERY_DAY - Shows notification every single day
  • SCALING_INCREASE_ONLY - Only shows when the scaling actually increases
• Can be completely disabled if you don't want chat notifications
• Automatic detection when maximum scaling is reached

📋 New Configuration Options

[dayScaling]
    showNotifications = true              # Enable/disable day notifications
    notificationMode = "EVERY_DAY"        # When to show notifications

🛡️ Technical Improvements

• Updated event system to use latest NeoForge 1.21.1 APIs
• Better error handling to prevent crashes
• Improved reflection code for mod compatibility
• Memory optimizations with WeakHashMap usage
• Cleaner code structure for easier maintenance

💬 What Players Will Notice

• Mobs spawn with full health instead of partial health
• Attack speed actually works - Fast mobs will visibly attack much faster
• Pretty day notifications showing scaling progress (if enabled)
• More stable gameplay with fewer crashes
• Better performance overall

🔄 Migration Notes

• Your old config will still work, but default values are now more conservative
• If you want the old 1.5x behavior, manually change the multipliers from 1.0 to 1.5 in the config
• Day scaling notifications are enabled by default - disable them in config if unwanted

🎮 For Server Admins

This update makes the mod much more stable and performant. The new notification system helps players understand the progression without being overwhelming. All changes are backwards compatible with existing configurations.
