This update brings the biggest change to ForcePlugin's gameplay yet! We have completely overhauled how abilities are cast for a much faster, smoother combat experience, and added massive new progression systems.

⭐ What's New in this Update:

• New Hotbar Casting System: We have completely removed the old "Shift + Scroll" Holocron mechanic. You can now seamlessly bind and cast your Force abilities directly using your standard 1-9 hotbar slots! Combat is now vastly more fluid, responsive, and intuitive.
• Massive New Passive Ability System: We have introduced a brand new GUI with 9 new persistent passive talents!
  • Light Side: Unlock passive healing, melee attack deflection, faster energy recovery, and the ability to cheat death!
  • Dark Side: Unlock lifesteal, speed boosts on kills, Wither affliction, and the ability to spend your own health to cast abilities when your energy runs dry!
  • Neutral: Everyone can now unlock "Force Attunement" to rapidly regenerate energy by standing still.
• Force Enchanting: High-level players who have unlocked a Specialization (Level 31+) can now use /forceenchant (/fe)! Channel your raw Force Energy directly into the item in your hand to apply temporary enchantments. Be warned: using this taxes the body heavily, causing temporary debuffs like hunger and fatigue.
• New Configuration File: A brand new passives.yml file has been added. You have complete control over the max levels, costs, and specific stats of every single passive ability!

⚠️ IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE:
Because of the massive changes to the casting system and the addition of `passives.yml`, please drop the new `.jar` into your plugins folder and restart your server to automatically generate the new files.

As always, if you encounter any bugs or have suggestions, please let us know on the GitHub or Discussion page! May the Force be with you.

New Force Abilities

Universal

• Force Sense — Senses nearby entities, highlighting them with a glowing effect and displaying a health summary of nearby players on the action bar.

Light Side Exclusive

• Force Clarity — Removes negative effects (Slowness and Blindness) from the caster, and grants Haste and Night Vision.
• Force Mend — Instantly heals a targeted ally from a distance and grants them Regeneration.
• Force Valor — Boosts the caster and all nearby allies with Strength, Resistance, and Speed.

Dark Side Exclusive

• Force Corrupt — Targets a single enemy, infecting them with Wither, Poison, and Slowness.
• Soul Rend — Targets a single enemy to tear at their spirit, applying a heavy Weakness effect to reduce their physical damage.
• Dark Aura — Surrounds the caster with a deadly particle ring that damages all nearby enemies over time.

New Passives (Config-only)

• Force Attunement (Neutral) — Boosts Force energy regeneration speed after standing still for 3 seconds.
• Transcendence (Light) — Grants a one-time cheat-death mechanic accompanied by a powerful Force explosion.
• Blood Price (Dark) — Consumes health instead of energy to cast abilities when Force energy is fully depleted.

Updated Leveling System

The leveling progression has been expanded to accommodate longer progression times while smoothing out the difficulty curve:

• Maximum Force Level: Increased from 50 to 100.
• XP Requirement Formula:
  Code (Text):

  XP Needed = Base XP (100) + ((Current Level - 1) * XP Multiplier)
• XP Multiplier: Reduced from 50 to 25, meaning leveling up at early-to-mid levels is faster and smoother, but players can progress twice as far.
• Force Points: Players continue to earn 1 point per level to unlock and upgrade abilities.
• Specialization Selection: Triggered at level 31, allowing players to permanently choose their final specialization path using their Holocron.

Level Ranks Scaling
The rank titles assigned to players have been extended to scale up to the new level 100 cap:

Light Side & Dark Side:

Level 1-10 - Padawan / Acolyte
Level 11-24 - Jedi Knight / Sith Apprentice
Level 25-49 - Jedi Master / Sith Lord
Level 50-74 - Jedi High Council / Dark Council Member
Level 75-99 - Jedi Grand Master / Dark Lord of the Sith
Level 100 - Force Transcendent / Sith Emperor

- Plugin file was reduced to 167 KB. Plugin still working like intended with no issues and errors.

Players can now choose sides through a GUI by /force choose.

Players now can enchant tools using the force energy. Only last ranks have this ability.

Use command /fe while having the tool on hand.

Version 2.0 - The Path of Mastery Update is Here!
Get ready to take your journey with the Force to a whole new level! This is the largest content update for ForcePlugin yet, introducing a deep, permanent specialization system and a brand new category of abilities: Passives. Your choices will now define your character's core strengths and unlock their ultimate potential.

Thank you to everyone for your amazing feedback, which has helped shape this exciting new chapter!

New Feature: Passive Abilities
A true master's power is not just in the abilities they use, but in the strengths they always possess. You can now spend your Force Points on a new category of Passive Skills!

How to Use:

1. Right-click your Holocron to open the main skill tree.
   
   
2. Click the new Beacon icon labeled "Passive Skills" in the bottom-center.
   
   
3. Unlock and upgrade your passives in this new menu!
   

Light Side Passives:

• Soothing Presence: You and nearby allies gain slow, constant health regeneration.
  
  
• Deflecting Palm: Gain a chance to completely negate the damage of an incoming melee attack.
  
  
• Meditation: Massively boosts your passive Force Energy regeneration rate.
  

Dark Side Passives:

• Siphoning Strikes: Your damaging abilities have a chance to heal you for a percentage of the damage dealt.
  
  
• Force Ferocity: Gain a burst of speed after defeating an enemy.
  
  
• Corrupted Energy: Your damaging abilities have a chance to inflict a debilitating Wither effect.
  

New Config File: passives.yml
Server owners, you now have even more control! A new passives.yml file has been generated. In it, you can configure the unlock cost, upgrade cost, max level, and every single stat for all the new passive abilities.

As always, thank you for your support. We can't wait to see which paths you choose. May the Force be with you
