About the Plugin
ZombieBlockBreaker is a plugin for Minecraft 1.21.5 that makes zombies more dangerous and intelligent opponents. The plugin allows zombies to break blocks in their path to reach players, creating a more realistic and thrilling gaming experience.

Main Features

• Smart Zombie AI: Zombies automatically detect players within range and begin pursuit
• Obstacle Destruction: Zombies can break blocks that prevent them from reaching the player
• Customizable: Full control over which blocks zombies can break
• Visual Effects: Block breaking animations with particles and sounds
• Optimized: Efficient system that doesn't overload the server

How It Works

1. Target Detection
   • Zombies scan the area around them for players
   • Detection radius is configurable
   • Zombies ignore players in creative or spectator mode
2. Pathfinding
   • When a zombie detects a player, it determines a direct path to the target
   • The system checks blocks in the zombie's path at foot and head level
3. Block Breaking
   • If there's an allowed block in the path, the zombie starts breaking it
   • The breaking process takes time (configurable)
   • Breaking particles appear during the process
   • Appropriate sound plays upon completion
4. Resource Management
   • Each zombie has its own separate breaking task
   • Tasks are automatically cancelled when zombie dies or player leaves the area

Configuration
The plugin uses config.yml for settings:

• breakable-blocks: List of blocks that zombies can break
• detection-radius: Distance at which zombies detect players (default 10 blocks)
• break-speed: Block breaking speed in ticks (default 40 ticks = 2 seconds)
• drop-items: Whether items drop when blocks are broken (default true)
