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
