FeatherMorph

Bug Fix

• Fixed multiple Instance Network issues, including:
  • It never starts
  • The WebSocket server isn't closed upon configuration reload
  • The WebSocket client doesn't get handled correctly upon configuration reload
  • The client tries to reconnect multiple times on fail

Other

• Added workarounds for health modifiers
  • Trying to solve some mysterious issues with health scaling
  • Also, if you are using HuskSync or something else like it, you may want to add these attribute modifiers to the ignore list:
    • feathermorph:health_modifier
    • feathermorph:fm_health_modifier
    • And also for these in case something strange happens:
    • minecraft:health_modifier
    • minecraft:fm_health_modifier

Bug Fix

• Instance Network doesn't start
  • It starts, but it's broken, still not usable now

Other

• Update to 1.21.3

If your server has experimental features enabled, we suggest updating this version to avoid a dupe glitch!

Also if you're updating from 1.2.x, please also check the 1.3.0 changelog

Bug Fixes

• Quick disguise triggers ignoring the item held
• Disguises constructed from entities still apply random properties

Other

• Bump InventoryGUI
  • Fixes an item dupe glitch

This version includes some changes related to permissions, please attention!

• Permissions will now use feathermorph as the prefix instead of xiamomc.morph, while other usages remain unchanged.
• Support for legacy permission nodes will be removed in 1.5.0.
  • Which is expected to be released with the 1.22 winter drop.

We recommend updating ProtocolLib to version 5.3.0, which you can download here.

New Features

• Inventory GUI for Disguise Action selection
• Added Disguise Tool
  • This replaces the old skill item.
  • By default, the disguise tool can be obtained through crafting using Feather + Redstone. The recipe can be configured in recipes.yml.

  ---

  • Assuming we are using the default keybinds:
  • Players can open the disguise selection GUI with Sneak + RMB, and unmorph themselves with Sneak + LMB.
  • When disguising, use RMB to activate skills, and LMB to open disguise action selection.

  ---

  • You can also execute the command /fm make_disguise_tool while holding an item to make it a Disguise Tool.
• Towny Integration
  • It is now possible to set whether flying is allowed in the wilderness in worlds with Towny enabled.
  • Players can also set whether their town allows flying through the command /toggle-town-morph-flight. By default, flying is allowed in all towns.
    • The permission node for this command is feathermorph.toggle_town_fly

  ---

  • Players can fly in towns that allow flying if they meet any of the following conditions:
    • The player is a resident/mayor of the town.
    • The player is trusted by the town.
    • The player and the town belong to the same nation.
    • The player's town is allied with the target town.
  • Note! Due to the mysterious teleport event trigger conditions of Folia, there may be bypass issues on these servers.
    • It is currently known that using the vanilla teleport command will not trigger the event, so avoid using this command to teleport others whenever possible.

Bug Fixes

• The packet that hides a player from other's TAB list is also sent to the hidden player
  • And causes the hidden player’s client don't display their skin.
• Armor stand disguises do not correctly present the source entity’s pose.
• Creeper disguises do not have charged variants.

Other

• Changed permission prefix
  • Permission nodes have changed from xiamomc.morph.XXX to feathermorph.XXX.
• Changed package name
  • Package name has changed from xiamomc.morph.XXX to xyz.nifeather.morph.XXX.
• Tweaked Skill Configuration and Player Data Storage
  • Skill configurations are now distributed in the skills directory, stored as <namespace>/<id>.json.
    • For example, the skill configuration for minecraft:sheep is located at skills/minecraft/sheep.json.
  • Player configurations are now stored in the playerdata directory as <UUID>.json.
  • The original data.json and skills.json will be renamed to data.json.old and skills.json.old.
• Added profile request batching
  • Requests for player profiles in the plugin will now be processed in batches at intervals to prevent Mojang API from rejecting them with' 429 Too Many Requests` when many requests are made.
• Warden disguises will now become invisible after the digging animation finishes.
• Removed TAB integration
  • It is no longer needed.

Bug Fix

• Disguises having random variants doesn't randomize upon disguising, instead it prints warnings to the console. (The given property '...' doesn't exist)

New Features

• (Experimental) Allow hiding disguised players from the TAB list
• (Experimental) Allow displaying player disguises on the TAB list

Other

• Removed suggestion about using the client mod
• Allow 1.21 servers for using this
  • That said, we still suggest upgrading your server to 1.21.1 since 1.21 is no longer supported by Paper and we target the latest 1.21.1 API in the dev environment
• Tweaked some disguise's icon on the selection GUI
• The disguise selection GUI will now play sound when opening and flipping pages
• The UUID of the disguise now has a more specific rule to generate
  • But the client still doesn't have much chance to crack it, as long as they don't have access to the plugin configuration

New Features

• Added Inventory GUI for disguise selection
  • You can open it using the /morph command! With no arguments, it will open the GUI instead of complaining that there are not enough arguments.
• Now can configure whether players can fly in water/lava in different worlds

Bug Fix

• ServerSetEquipCommand doesn't construct the client command correctly
  • And cause the client can't see the disguise's equipment

Other

• The undisguise operation now plays the same sound as the disguise op
• Avoid modifying the mob's AI twice
  • I don't know why a modified mob could get passed to the plugin again, so let's make a workaround for this...

New Feature

Disguise Actions

Or Disguise Emotes/Animations

You can play the action using the client mod >= 0.6.4 or /play-action command.

The permission node for the action is xiamomc.morph.emote.<DisguiseID>.<ActionID>

• You can check the Action ID using the /play-action command.
• For example, the node of Allay Dancing action is xiamomc.morph.emote.minecraft.allay.dance
• The node for Player disguises is xiamomc.morph.emote.player.all.<ActionID>

Currently, these actions only have visual effects, they don't interact with the environment.

1.2.1 comes with these actions bundled:

Bug Fix

• Disguises are not recovered after reloading configuration

Other

• Tweaked the node of abilities and skills for player disguise
  • It's now xiamomc.morph.skill.player.all.<SkillID>

Other

• Update to 1.21.1

This release mainly fixed several issues when running on Folia.

Bug Fixes

• Zombie Villager disguise doesn't have random variants
• Rabbit disguise doesn't have the Killer Bunny variant
• Fixed several issues with Folia, this includes:
  • Can only disguise in overworld
  • InteractionMirror may throw async getEntities when players are in different regions

Other

• Move the process of random variants from the server disguise renderer to MorphManager

New Feature

• Allow changing whether to modify mobs' AI to make them react to the disguise
  • For your sanity, we don't recommend using /reload or any method that loads/unloads this plugin when this option is turned on!
  • Toggling this option requires a server restart!

Bug Fix

• Skills and abilities are not re-applied upon the player's join

Other

• Removed several internal dependencies
  • And make the plugin file ~50% smaller!
• Attempt to optimize HUD display performance
• Lowered the frequency of revealing value sent to the client

Other

• Make this plugin work on Paper Build #106
  • And it's not backward compatible, you will need to update Paper to use!

A small release to fix an annoying problem.

PS: If you encountered an issue with updating disguise or MorphManager, please try this build on our GitHub!

  • The node format is xiamomc.morph.ability.<DisguiseID>.<AbilityID>
    • For example, the Night Vision ability for Enderman disguise is xiamomc.morph.ability.minecraft.enderman.morph.night_vision
  • Because the permission check has a high performance impact, we added an option to disable it. You can disable this feature through the config file or using the /fm option ability_check_permissions command to toggle.

• Armor Stand disguise has a different arm status between the client and the server
