AhxerZones v2.1.5

Patch release focused on crop zones and hologram stability.

Crop zones reworked

• The counter now decreases correctly as you harvest and stays down — the field refills only on the zone's timed reset (a proper farm cycle).
• Harvest only: players can no longer plant or place blocks inside a crop zone. To build or decorate, disable the zone with /az toggle.
• Fixed crop detection on flat selections: crops that grow one block above the selected area are now correctly counted and protected (this is what caused the counter to stay stuck at max).

Holograms — no more freezing on restart

• Holograms are now non-persistent, so they're never saved into the world. This permanently fixes the bug where holograms appeared duplicated or frozen at max time after restarting the server.
• Old leftover holograms from previous versions are cleaned up automatically as their chunks load.
• Holograms now respawn on their own when chunks reload, so they never disappear permanently.

Stability

• Hardened zone loading: if one zone ever fails, it's logged and the rest keep working — a single zone can no longer break all holograms or timers.

How to update: replace the JAR with the v2.0.2 build, keep only one in plugins/, and restart (not /reload). Verify with /version AhxerZones → 2.0.2. Existing zones update automatically — no need to recreate anything.

This release brings the most requested features and makes the plugin more flexible than ever:

Hostile mobs in fauna zones
You can now populate your zones not just with animals, but also with hostile mobs: zombies, skeletons, creepers, blazes, ravagers, the warden and many more. Perfect for building PvE arenas. As always, any mob on your server (and MythicMobs!) is still available through the Custom option.

New merge system — irregular shapes
Merging has been completely reworked. Before, merging two zones created one big rectangle. Now each zone keeps its original area as a separate part, so you can combine several rectangles to build circular, L-shaped, or any-shape zones you want. They no longer need to be touching. Works for mines, crops and fauna (custom crops and mobs included).

More protected blocks on resets
The list of blocks the reset never touches has been expanded: now it also includes fences and gates, iron bars, glass panes and walls, on top of stairs, trapdoors, doors, buttons, pressure plates, signs and all decorative blocks. Decorate your mines worry-free.

100% compatible with your data
Everything new works, and everything you already had keeps working. When you update, your zones sync automatically — no need to redo anything.

How to update: replace the JAR with the v2.0.0 one, keep only one in plugins/ and restart the server (not /reload). Verify with /version AhxerZones → 2.0.0.
