MobArena

Release Notes: MobArena (MythicMobs 5 Support Edition)
Version: 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT (Custom Build)

Build Date: January 18, 2026

Status: Stable / Production Ready

✨ Key Features

1. Native MythicMobs 5 Integration:
   
   • Enables MobArena to directly spawn custom mobs created in MythicMobs v5.
     
     
   • Fully supports complex custom skills, particle effects, custom models, and specialized AI behaviors within the arena.
     
2. New Spawning Syntax:
   
   • Introduced a custom prefix mythic: in the configuration file.
     
     
   • Syntax: monster: mythic:<InternalName>
     
     
   • Example: monster: mythic:SuperBoss overrides the default vanilla spawning logic.
     
3. Future-Proofing Capability:
   
   • Allows the server to feature "future content" (e.g., Minecraft 1.21.11 mobs like Parched or Camel Husk) on older server versions (1.21.10) by simulating them via MythicMobs.
4. Advanced Enchantment Support:
   
   • Native 1.21 Support: Fully supports the latest Minecraft 1.21 enchantments specifically for the Mace weapon.
     
     • Supported Enchants: density, breach, wind_burst.
       
   • Flexible Configuration: Enchantments can be applied directly via the class configuration file using standard syntax.
     

️ Technical Changelog

• Source Code Modification (MACreature.java):
  
  • fromString Method: Patched to recognize and accept strings starting with mythic: without throwing an IllegalArgumentException.
    
    
  • spawn Method: Overridden to bypass Bukkit's standard spawning and redirect the request to the MythicBukkit API.
    
• Configuration Update (plugin.yml):
  
  • Added MythicMobs to the softdepend list. This ensures MythicMobs loads before MobArena, preventing ClassDefNotFound errors during startup.
    
• Build Dependencies (build.gradle):
  
  • Injected io.lumine:Mythic-Dist:5.11.0 into the build path to enable compilation against the MythicMobs 5 API.
