## VortexMobs 1.1.1 — Hotfix

**Affected versions:** Anyone running Paper build 64 or newer.

### Fix — Startup crash on Paper build 64+

The plugin crashed immediately on servers running Paper `26.1.2.build.64+`. The root cause was `ENTITY_WOLF_HOWL` being removed from Paper's Sound enum between builds. Because event sounds were stored as direct enum constants, the entire invasion event class failed to initialize at startup, taking the plugin down with it.

**What changed:** Event sounds are now stored as name strings and resolved at runtime with a graceful fallback. Any future sound rename in any Paper build will no longer crash the plugin.

Elite Mob Affixes
Six elite variants can now randomly spawn on any hostile mob, each with a glowing tag, boosted stats, and a unique reward multiplier. The six affixes:

• Bloodforged — self-regen, linked to Blood Moon
• Stalker — speed boost, ambush playstyle, Predator Hunt
• Warpack — buffs nearby mobs, Pack Assault tied
• Siegeborn — damage resistance, Siege Night linked
• Wraith — phase/blink logic, Shadow Surge linked
• ️ VenomCrawler — stacking poison, Corrupted Dawn

Base spawn chance and event-linked bonus chance are both configurable in config.yml.

Invasion Event A/V Identity
All six invasion events now have unique audiovisual packages — particle storms, start/end sounds, ambient mob auras, and server-wide broadcast headlines. Events are off by default; enable each one individually.

Paginated Drop Catalog
The drop editor GUI now has category tabs and page navigation:

• Tracked — mobs with active custom drops
• ⚔️ All Hostile — every vanilla hostile mob
• Elite Variants — per-affix tables with base fallback

Bug Fixes

• Right-clicking a biome slot in the editor now correctly resets its multiplier to 1.00
• Elite drop tables properly fall back to the base mob type when no variant override exists
