AT-PinataParty | Pinata Party v1.6.0

AT-PinataParty v1.6.0
Llama piñatas now strut a color-cycling rainbow carpet.​

---

✦ New: Rainbow Carpet

When your piñata is a llama, it now wears a carpet on its back that flashes through a list of colors like a rainbow. A fun little touch to make the party pop.

Configure it under pinata.carpet:

• colors the carpet colors to cycle through, in order (it loops back to the first after the last).
• interval the gap between color switches, in server ticks (20 = 1 second). Lower is faster.

Only works with pinata.type: LLAMA, since other mobs can't wear carpets.

✦ Upgrade Notes

Drop-in upgrade. The config schema auto-migrates to version 2 on first load, your existing values are preserved.

---

Update now and let your llama show off some color.

AT-PinataParty v1.5.0
Two Built-In Hologram Styles, No Extra Plugin Needed​

---

✦ New: Built-In Hologram Styles

No more juggling hologram plugins just to get floating text on the piñata.

Two new options for pinata.hologram.provider:

• native floating text on invisible armor stands. Follows the piñata smoothly and works on any server (1.19.4+, Java 17+).
• native-display floating text on a modern text-display entity for a crisper look. Glides smoothly on 1.20.2+, and still follows (without the glide) on older versions.

Pick either one and you're set, no DecentHolograms or FancyHolograms install required.

---

✦ FancyHolograms v3 marked Experimental

• FH3 is driven against a moving pre-release API, so it's now flagged as experimental in the config and code comments.
• The text glides in step with the piñata on 1.20.2+ instead of snapping a tick behind, but for a stable smooth result, prefer DecentHolograms or one of the new native styles above.

---

✦ Quick Setup

YAML:

pinata:
  hologram:
    provider: native          # or: native-display, decentholograms, fancyholograms, none

Existing configs auto-migrate, your current provider choice is kept.

---

✦ Version Breakdown

Version	Focus
1.4.0	FancyHolograms v3 support with auto-detection between v2 and v3 backends
1.4.1	Hologram no longer doubles the piñata name; FH2/FH3 follow updates pushed immediately
1.4.2	FH3 text now follows the piñata in the same tick instead of trailing
1.5.0	Two built-in hologram styles (native, native-display). FH3 marked experimental.

---

Update now for built-in floating text that just works.
Existing setups keep their current provider, switch to native or native-display whenever you want.

✦ AT-PinataParty v1.3.1 ✦
Gradient Colors + Self-Migrating Config​

---

NEW

• Gradient color support: wrap any message in <gradient:#005bff:#00fbff>your text</gradient> and RGB is interpolated across the characters. Stacks with &l, &o and other style codes.
• Self-migrating config: powered by boosted-yaml. On update, new keys are added with defaults and your existing values are preserved. No more wiping config.yml every release.
• Fully documented config.yml: every key now has an explanation above it with valid values, formulas, placeholders, and enum hints.

COLOR FORMATTING

Every message field now accepts:

• &a, &l, &r and other legacy codes
• &#RRGGBB or #RRGGBB for hex RGB
• <gradient:#RRGGBB:#RRGGBB>text</gradient> for two-stop gradients

FIXES

• Hex parser left a stray & before the color when written as &#RRGGBB. Both &#RRGGBB and bare #RRGGBB now work cleanly.

UPDATING

• Drop the new jar in /plugins and restart.
• Your existing config.yml is auto-migrated on first load: new keys and comments added, your values kept.
• Requires: Spigot/Paper 1.19.4+, Java 17+.
