    AttackIndicator v2.4

    Reliability, performance, and security pass over the 2.3 codebase. Drop-in upgrade — no config migration required (new keys fall back to safe defaults).
    New
    - Active-indicator cap — new performance.max-active-indicators (default 200, 0 = unlimited). Bounds spawned entities and per-tick animation tasks during heavy damage bursts (e.g. AoE) to protect server TPS. The cap is enforced at spawn time, so even a same-tick burst cannot overshoot it. - `random-offset.y` is now exposed in config.yml (the value was already used internally; it is now documented and editable).
    Reliability & Security
    - Crash-safe indicators — indicator entities are now spawned with setPersistent(false) on 1.13+, so a server crash or chunk unload can no longer leave orphaned armor stands / text displays behind. Gracefully degrades on 1.8–1.12 where the API is absent. - Hardened MiniMessage (1.19.4+) — only formatting tags (colors, hex, gradients, decorations) are honored in indicator-format. Interactive tags (<click>, <hover>, <insertion>) are disabled so a format string can never inject clickable links or hover payloads. - Update checker hardening — the Modrinth response is now size-bounded (1 MB) and the User-Agent correctly reports the running version. - Safer language loading — the language config value is sanitized (no path traversal), and an unknown/un-bundled code falls back to English instead of failing plugin startup.
    Internal
    - Null-guarded command registration. - Aligned config defaults with config.yml; renamed internal Y-offset accessor for axis symmetry; minor cleanups. - README rewritten: technical overview, version/renderer matrix, command & permission tables, full config reference, architecture diagram, and build instructions. --- Compatibility: Paper / Spigot, Minecraft 1.8 → 1.21+ (renderer auto-selected per version). Build: mvn clean package (JDK 17+ toolchain; output targets Java 8 bytecode).

  5. 2.0Attack indicator 2.0Oct 6, 2025
    Added
    - Integrated MiniMessages for all plugin text, allowing for more advanced formatting options.
    Changed
    - Complete rework of the plugin's core mechanics for better performance and stability. - The plugin is now significantly more lightweight. - Replaced the old Armor Stand-based indicator with the new Display Entities system, introduced in Minecraft 1.19.4. This should provide a much smoother and more reliable experience. - Most previous configuration settings have been retained to ensure a smooth transition.
    Fixed
    - Resolved a major bug where the indicator (an Armor Stand) would not be removed properly, causing it to get stuck in the sky.
