Changelog

1.0.0

The first release. Everything below was built and checked over seventeen test rounds on real servers, then stress tested with a full arena, a spectator queue and two code audits before the final build.

Added in 1.0.0-15

• Timed rounds: game.game-duration and game.min-players now work, the richest player wins, game.top-crates for the top three, game.end-grace-seconds, then the arena resets
• Several arenas at once: /brainrot join [arena] with a picker, a queue per arena, /brainrot admin arena create|select|info|list, /brainrot admin start|end [arena]
• Teams (teams.*, /brainrot team, /brainrot tc)
• Trading of mobs and money (/brainrot trade)
• Rebirth for a permanent income and starting money boost (rebirth.*, /brainrot rebirth)
• Daily, weekly and all-time leaderboards in chat and as floating boards (/brainrot top, /brainrot admin leaderboard, leaderboards.yml)
• Achievements with crate, money, glass and cosmetic rewards (achievements.list)
• Special events: random, seasonal and manual, with a boss bar and event-only tiers 6 to 8 (events.*, /brainrot admin event)
• Mob abilities: income burst, aura, heavy and escape (abilities.*, ability: on tiers)
• Base upgrades: extra slots and an auto-defense turret (upgrades.*, /brainrot upgrades)
• Cosmetics: trails, tags and mob skins, now also a crate reward (cosmetics.*, /brainrot cosmetics)
• Six exclusive glass colors (brainrot.glass.<color>), right-click to preview a color, and extra VIP ranks (game.vip-ranks, brainrot.vip.plus, brainrot.vip.mvp)
• Vault support: economy.mode: vault or economy.vault-payout
• storage.autosave-seconds, bases.restore-on-rejoin, and bases.default-glass-color now works
• Scoreboard placeholders %rebirths%, %team%, %round%, %event% and %arena%
• New API methods and nine new events for developers
• config-version: 5, language file-version: 3

Fixed in 1.0.0-16

• Scoreboard: upgraded configs kept their old scoreboard.phases lists, so %round% and %event% never appeared. config-version: 6 now runs a one-time patch on start. Untouched lists are swapped for the new defaults, and edited lists get the missing lines appended (up to 15). The no-base phase shows Round too
• Rounds: a running round now pauses back to waiting when players drop below game.min-players, unless an admin forced the start. It keeps its elapsed time and resumes when enough players are back
• The waiting action bar goes to everyone in the arena, not just players already on a base
• Language file-version: 4

Added and fixed in 1.0.0-17

• Shield plate: stepping on it only re-arms a shield that has run out, so it can no longer reset the 60 seconds early. A small sign floats over the plate, with a countdown while the shield is up and a hint when it is down (bases.plate-hologram.enabled, bases.plate-hologram.height)
• /brainrot admin copy lays a pressure plate at the copied base's re-arm spot, so copied bases can raise their shield
• Model mobs animate their legs while walking and switch to an idle pose once secured. The floating name follows the mob every tick instead of lagging one behind
• mobs.spawn-interval default is now 7 seconds (it was 20)
• Admins who own a base can no longer /br spectate, so the command never takes their base away
• Special event boss bars drain over the length the event was started with
• Rebirth messages round their percentage, so +10% reads the same in chat and in the confirm screen
• The runway plate counter says "Runway start set", then 2, 3, and so on
• Clearer console: no false DecentHolograms warning when it disables itself, the real ModelEngine error when a model fails to attach, and a warning when a hostile tier is used in a Peaceful world
• Admin help lists slots <n> without a wrong plate count
• Holograms refresh every second, and the stray stand sweep never deletes a stand that a label is still using
• The shield wall is always at least 3 blocks tall, so a wall set from two floor corners can no longer be jumped over
• Every menu, /brainrot stats, /brainrot help, trap names, glass color names and crate rewards now follow the language file. Admin commands stay in English
• config-version: 7, language file-version: 6

Final fixes before release

• Player stats can no longer be overwritten with a blank record when the database fails to answer during a login. The load is retried and nothing is saved until it works
• A quick rejoin always loads the newest saved stats
• Deleting one arena no longer removes the mobs in every other arena, and its spectators are sent out properly first
• A base offered to the first player in the queue is held for them. New joins cannot take it during the claim window
• Buying a second trap before placing the first one is refused, so nobody pays twice for one trap
• Crate rewards are given the moment the crate opens, so leaving during the spin cannot lose them. Crates only open while you are playing in a running round
• Spectators are put back to normal if the plugin is disabled or reloaded while they watch
• Leftover mob entities from a crash or an unloaded chunk are cleaned up on start and when chunks load
• Selling a mob only removes it once the money has actually been paid (Vault mode)
• Clicking a base that is already taken in the claim menu now tells you so
• The sidebar no longer shows the red row numbers on Minecraft 1.20.3 and newer
• The auto-defense turret always pushes intruders out the front of the base. It could push them further in before
• With bases.restore-on-rejoin on, rejoining gives back exactly the money you left with. It used to top you up to the starting money as well
• Floating mob name labels left behind by a crash are removed when their chunk loads
• You can only carry one stolen brainrot at a time. A thief could pick up a second one while still carrying the first
• Language file-version: 8

Built in the earlier rounds

• The full game: claim a base, buy mobs off the runway, earn income, intercept and steal, with a knockback stick, five traps, crates and glass colors
• Selling: shift + right-click your own mob or use /brainrot sell, refund set by mobs.sell-percent
• Carry theft: a stolen mob rides on the thief's back until they reach their claim zone
• Base shields fill only the open gaps of a base, never the real walls
• Buying and intercepting are refused once a base is full, counting mobs still walking home
• Ghost spectators with a compass player menu, /br spec <player>, and a fair queue for freed bases
• Arena setup tools: slot and path marker plates, plates show|hide, the show particle overlay, and copy to stamp one base onto another, turned to match
• Arena upkeep: resetbase, deletebase, deletearena, reloadarenas and cleanup
• Any number of bases per arena through bases.max-per-arena
• Mobs follow the runway home, stay on the ground over slopes and never burn in daylight
• ModelEngine models with an importer, mobs.model-yaw-offset for facing and mobs.model-nameplate-height for the floating name
• Holograms through armor stands or DecentHolograms (holograms.provider)
• SQLite or MySQL storage (storage.type)
• English, French and Spanish, plus custom language files
• A config-driven scoreboard with separate layouts for choosing a base, playing and spectating
