What's New in v1.2.0

This update brings 21 improvements focused on visual polish, UX feedback, and performance — making BasaltSMP Core feel like a truly premium experience.

---

Visual Polish (NEW)

• Welcome Title Screen — Beautiful gradient title + subtitle when players join. Different styles for first-join vs returning players. Configurable text, fade timing, and sounds.
• Teleport Particle Effects — Three distinct VFX: purple portal spiral on departure, enchantment swirl during countdown, and golden end-rod burst on arrival.
• Combat BossBar — Real BossBar that drains and changes color (green → yellow → red) alongside the existing action bar. Maximum visibility during PvP.
• Kill Confirmation Title — Brief "⚔ KILL" title with victim name and your remaining health after every PvP kill.
• Bounty Claim: Title + Firework — Epic "BOUNTY CLAIMED" gradient title with a gold/orange firework explosion when collecting a bounty.
• AFK Visual Feedback — Title screen when going AFK (" AFK") and "Welcome Back" on return. Tab list shows strikethrough name with [AFK] suffix.
• Chat Hover Cards — Hover over any player name in chat to see their balance, kills, deaths, K/D ratio, and playtime. Click to /msg them.
• Death Message Hover (PvP) — Hover over the killer's name to see their weapon, enchantments, and remaining health.
• Announcement Frames — Broadcast announcements now wrapped in a decorative ★ frame with a chime sound so they stand out in chat.
• Economy Sound Effects — /pay plays a bell (sender) and coin sound (receiver). /sell plays a satisfying orb sound. /bounty plays an anvil + ominous wither sound.

---

Bug Fixes

• RTP Safety Retry — Fixed critical bug where /rtp would fail on the first unsafe location (lava/water/void) without retrying. Now generates all candidates and tries each one until a safe spot is found.
• Combat Bar Direction — The combat action bar now correctly drains (starts full, empties over time) instead of filling up backwards.
• Teleport Bar Direction — Same fix applied to the teleport countdown bar.

---

Performance

• Async Database Writes — Claims, Teams, Auction House, and Bounty modules now write to the database asynchronously. Cache-first architecture means zero main thread blocking during gameplay. Critical for MySQL/network setups.
• Combat Timer Optimization — Single-pass iteration with config read moved outside the loop. Eliminates intermediate list allocation every tick.
• Auction House Cache — New CopyOnWriteArrayList cache means the AH GUI opens instantly (cache hit vs DB query).
• Bounty Cache — In-memory bounty list eliminates all SELECT queries during gameplay.

---

Security

• /pay Cooldown — 3-second cooldown (configurable) prevents payment spam. Bypass: basaltsmp.pay.bypass
• /bounty Cooldown — 10-second cooldown (configurable) prevents bounty spam. Bypass: basaltsmp.bounty.admin

---

Staff & UX

• /fly, /god, /vanish <player> — Staff toggle commands now support targeting other players. New permissions: basaltsmp.fly.others, basaltsmp.god.others, basaltsmp.vanish.others
• Tab Completion — Added to BackCommand, CombatTagCommand, CreateKitCommand, SetWarpCommand, SetHomeCommand, and all staff toggle commands.
