Dynamic Chat Ranks & Prefix Progression
Bring competitive chat to life! Chat prefixes now scale automatically based on players' active Strength level, driving player competition to the absolute limit:

• The Conqueror Tier (+1 to +9 Strength): Climb the ranks from Initiate and Soldier to Warlord and Overlord.
• The Hopeless Tier (-10 Strength): Falling behind turns players into a dark gray [Hopeless] peasant, forcing them to fight their way back up the ranks!

(<Ranks, prefixes, and colors are 100% customizable in config.yml>)

Enhanced Class Weapon Visuals

• Trident Riptide: Launches players at high speed with spectacular trailing aqua nautilus swirls.
• Crossbow Scorpion Hook: Fire high-velocity hooks that drag and stun targets with visual particle chains.

StrengthSMP v1.1.0 — The Weapon Soul-Binding Update​

Welcome to the v1.1.0 Weapon Soul-Binding update! This release introduces highly requested features to elevate your SMP's competitive progression, alongside critical engine enhancements ensuring 100% stability from legacy 1.16.5 servers up to 1.21.1+.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Soul-Binding System (/bind)
Ensure your players keep their signature gear! Players can now bind their active class weapon directly to their soul:

• Costs: Spend 3 Strength to bind a weapon from scratch. Swapping to a different class weapon costs 1 Strength.
• Loyalty-Style Return: Bound weapons never drop on death. Upon respawn, a custom spinning loyalty flight animation launches the weapon back into the player's hands, physically knocking back any intermediate players/mobs.
• Prevention Checks: Drop inputs (Q) are automatically cancelled while holding your soul-bound weapon.
• Advanced Stats Tracking: The binding grimoires track:
  • Souls Harvested: Cumulative PvP kills (includes a list of your recent victims!).
  • Damage Dealt: Total cumulative damage dealt.
  • Soul Sacrifices: Deaths occurred while holding the weapon.
  • Duration Bound: Total elapsed real-world time since binding.
  • Ability Triggers: Counts active class ability uses.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Cinematic Weapon Shuffle GUI

• Right-clicking the Weapon Reroll Book now opens a custom animated crate-style scrolling interface (WeaponShuffleGUI).
• The GUI scrolls through all available classes and dynamically decelerates, ending with lightning strikes, thunder, and Totem/Spark particles on selection.
• Anti-Exploit: Closing the inventory early immediately finalizes the choice to prevent bypass or roll-rollback exploits.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

New PlaceholderAPI Support
We have introduced new placeholders to simplify scoreboard, tab, and menu integrations:

• %strengthsmp_has_bound_weapon% — Returns Yes or No depending on binding state.
• %strengthsmp_bound_weapon_class% — Returns the player's active bound weapon type or None.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Engine Optimizations & Cross-Version Patches

• Reflection-Based Head Queries: Rewrote skin texture queries to use Mojang GameProfile reflection on older engines (1.16.5 - 1.17) and Spigot's PlayerProfile API on 1.18+, completely eliminating classloader-related startup crashes.
• Safe Particle & Sound Resolvers: Added retro-compatible resolvers ensuring modern particles and sound constants fall back safely on older server versions rather than throwing runtime errors.
• Size Optimized: JAR size optimized down to a lightweight 138KB (no bloated dependencies).

Minor Update

Version 1.0.1 is here!

Huge Performance Boost:

• Reduced Jar size from 18MB to 136KB.
• Removed heavy JDA libraries; now uses high-performance Discord Webhooks.

Universal Compatibility:

• Support for Spigot, Paper, and Bukkit.
• Full version support from 1.16 through 1.21.1+.

New Features & Admin Tools:

• Added Reroll Book and Crafting Recipe.
• New Commands: /punish, /notimer, /nonewbie, /killreset, /removeprotection.
• Added toggles for Monarch Glowing and Announcements.
• Configurable Death and Newbie protection durations.

Stability:
- Refactored all internal logic to use legacy formatting, ensuring 100% stability across all server versions.
