dependency: Update Gradle to v9.8.0 (#441) Co-authored-by: renovate[bot] <29139614+renovate[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Bump version to 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT

![EternalCombat v2](

Improvements & New Features

Added pearl stasis prevention* for Ender Pearls during combat. Added configurable Ender Pearl cooldowns*, delays and an option to extend the combat tag after throwing a pearl. Added configurable Riptide restrictions*, cooldowns and combat tag extension. Added support for the new Spear Lunge* mechanic with configurable cooldowns. * Added the {OPPONENT} placeholder to combat notifications and tag messages. * Added an option to keep the combat tag active below a configurable void height to prevent escaping combat through the void. Added an optional sign editing blocker during combat*, useful for preventing sign based Ender Pearl exploits. Added native GriefPrevention support* for restricted regions and PvP protected claims.

Fixes

* Fixed EntityMountEvent compatibility on modern Paper versions. Fixed incorrect combat handling on Folia* in some damage events. * Improved Folia detection and scheduler handling.

Compatibility & Other Notable Changes

Added and verified support for Minecraft 26.2*. Minecraft 26.3* should also work once PacketEvents adds support for it.

Update dependencies for Minecraft 26.2 compatibility and improve README

Rename crystalpvp classes and update package structure for clarity

Modularize build scripts for publishing and run configurations

GH-389 Use paper native, support 26+ minecraft versions. (#389) * refactor: migrate plugin to modern Paper API Switch build metadata to Paper plugin descriptors and paper-api from 1.19.3 onward. Use native Paper Adventure audiences, async chunk loading, and teleport APIs without relocating Adventure. Add repository guidance and bug report notes. * Fix. * fix: disable config cache for paper plugin descriptor task The plugin-yml paper generator reads Task.project during task execution, which Gradle 9.5 rejects when storing configuration cache state. Declare the generated descriptor task incompatible with configuration cache so CI can complete while keeping cache enabled for the rest of the build. * fix: use paper-compatible multification notices Replace BukkitNotice builders with core Notice builders after moving to multification-paper. Use the Adventure sound resolver so config serialization no longer depends on multification-bukkit classes. * fix: resolve combat potion effects through XSeries Use XPotion for default combat effects so removed Bukkit enum constants such as DAMAGE_RESISTANCE do not crash on newer Paper versions. Guard plugin disable cleanup when enable fails before the API provider is initialized. * Fix. * fix: support modern Paper without Adventure 5 * fix: update EternalCode Commons * fix: downgrade Java toolchain to 21 and set custom launcher for runServer task

GH-374 fix(combat): patch elytra escape exploit (#374) * - Changed old methods to new worldguard methods * fix(knockback): prevent roof teleport exploit & improve safe knockback handling Fixed an issue where players using fight charge could remain inside knockback regions and get teleported onto the map roof (above playable area).

Key changes:

- Reworked knockback direction to push players toward nearest region edge instead of center-based vector - Added velocity dampening system for more consistent knockback behavior - Improved vertical handling: - Separate ground vs air vertical values - Prevent excessive vertical stacking while airborne

Teleport fallback system:

- Introduced optional smart fallback teleport when knockback fails - Added continuous velocity check before teleporting (prevents false triggers) - Prevent duplicate fallback tasks using active tracking set - Improved force knockback logic with edge distance + velocity validation

Safe location handling:

- Implemented safe ground detection system: - Avoid unsafe blocks (lava, cactus, magma, etc.) - Ensure 2-block air clearance above ground - Added configurable fallback scanning from highest block - Prevent teleport if no safe location is found (optional)

Stability improvements:

- Added recursion limit for region expansion to prevent infinite loops - Improved region overlap handling during location generation - Reduced unnecessary teleports and edge-case glitches

Config additions:

- vertical / maxAirVertical - dampenVelocity / dampenFactor - useTeleport (smart fallback) - safeGroundCheck + safeHighestFallback - unsafeGroundBlocks - groundOffset - maxAttempts - cancelIfNoSafeGround Result: - Eliminates roof teleport exploit - More natural and predictable knockback - Safer teleport fallback system - Better handling of edge cases and overlapping regions * fix(combat): prevent elytra escape exploit & improve glide restriction handling Fixed an issue where players could abuse elytra (e.g. cliff jumping, trident launching, or mid-air tagging) to escape combat and bypass restrictions.

Key changes:

- Fully disabled elytra usage during combat - Blocked glide activation via EntityToggleGlideEvent - Added continuous glide checks to stop mid-air abuse - Forced downward velocity to prevent spacebar glide spam

Elytra handling system:

- Introduced automatic elytra unequip on combat tag - Prevents players from staying airborne when entering combat - Moves elytra safely to inventory or drops if full - Eliminates pre-glide and mid-air tagging exploits

Inventory protection:

- Blocked equipping elytra during combat: - Click equip - Shift-click - Hotbar swap (number keys) - Prevents all known re-equip bypass methods

Flight & movement improvements:

- Disabled flight properly on combat start - Prevents glide reactivation while moving

Messaging improvements:

- Added dedicated elytra combat message - Clear feedback when elytra is blocked or removed

Config additions:

- unequipElytraOnCombat - blockElytraEquipDuringCombat - elytraDisabledDuringCombat Result: - Eliminates cliff jump & trident launch exploits - Prevents all elytra-based combat escapes - Provides consistent and predictable combat behavior - Matches behavior of high-end PvP combat systems * CR * CR 2 --------- Co-authored-by: Rollczi <ndejlich5@gmail.com>
