CoreArena - Physical Engine Mob Arenas v4.9.4

• New | Support for Minecraft 26.2
• Improve | Chat pagination arrows no longer trigger the "Confirm Command Execution" prompt on Minecraft 1.21.6+
• Fix | Solved a crash on Folia and other threaded-region servers when showing a toast (advancement) notification
• Fix | Solved a crash when a command list header used a colored padding value

• Improve | Better performance by caching variables and skipping processing when messages contain no placeholders
• Fix | Solved "MiniMessage" crash on raw § in user input
• Fix | Solved variable hover stripping glyphs and breaking color codes
• Fix | Solved a crash when PlaceholderAPI extensions throw errors

• Improve | Oversized database rows are now skipped with a clear warning instead of dropping the MySQL connection with "Packet for query is too large"
• Fix | Transient MySQL connection drops (server restart, firewall, network reset) are no longer reported as plugin errors
• Fix | Command aliases now show the alias you typed in usage messages and the {label} placeholder, instead of the main command label
• Fix | ItemsAdder font images in messages no longer spam the console while ItemsAdder is still loading

• Improve | {arena_alive_monsters} and arena-mob lookups use an internal registry instead of scanning region entities, much faster on large arenas.
• Improve | Updated bundled Adventure library to 5.1.1.
• Fix | Solved Paper NPE when third-party plugins (TAB, PlaceholderAPI extensions) request CoreArena placeholders asynchronously. The console now prints a clear stack trace identifying the offending plugin.
• Fix | Solved a rare miss when looking up arena mobs by UUID.
• Fix | One broken item in chat no longer breaks the whole message, only the bad hover is stripped.
• Fix | No longer auto-report harmless MySQL "1932 doesn't exist in engine" warnings.

• New | Added per-game mob kills counter and leaderboard placeholders that rank players by mob kills per arena
• Fix | Solved a NullPointerException when PlaceholderAPI evaluated the entities placeholder asynchronously
• Improve | Updated Foundation library for better 1.8.8, Folia and Arclight stability

• New | Added per-arena leaderboard PlaceholderAPI variables. {corearena_ARENA_top_N_name} and {corearena_ARENA_top_N_phase} return the name and best phase of the Nth-ranked player in the given arena, where N=1 is the player who reached the highest phase ever on that arena, N=2 is the second-best, and so on. Returns "none" / "0" when fewer than N players have records. Example: {corearena_castle_top_1_name} gives the top player on the castle arena and {corearena_castle_top_1_phase} gives the phase they reached.
• New | Added {corearena_ARENA_bestphase} returning the requesting player's own best phase in the given arena. Example: {corearena_castle_bestphase} returns the viewing player's personal record on castle.

Records update when a player leaves while the arena is running (lobby leaves don't count). Full docs: https://docs.mineacademy.org/corearena/placeholderapi

• Improve | Region tools no longer conflict when Foundation is shaded into multiple plugins on the same server.
• Fix | No longer crashes on Arclight servers.
