Changelog:

• Fixed monument HP holograms not disappearing after fight end or boss death.
• Fixed boss spawn announcements and countdown flow.
• Fixed /watcherboss start so the 21-second start now works correctly.
• Fixed /watcherboss stop to fully clean the event (boss, monuments, holograms, mobs, effects, tasks).
• Fixed /watcherboss reload so it now reloads both config.yml and messages.yml correctly.
• Fixed world loading issue (world not found) by adding safer world handling and fallback behavior.
• Fixed damage/reward exploit: cancelled hits (like invulnerable boss hits) no longer count for top damage rewards.
• Fixed spawnwatcherboss command registration and behavior (now properly spawns boss instantly).
• PlaceholderAPI is now optional (softdepend) instead of required.

Combat/Mechanic Improvements:
• Last monument lifecycle is more stable (proper activate/deactivate/remove behavior).
• Pig attack now uses configured values correctly (damage, slow, knockback, explosion power).
• Better task cleanup and encounter reset logic to prevent stuck states.

Compatibility:
• Improved cross-version compatibility for modern Spigot versions.
• Target support: 1.16 - 1.21.x (including 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21).

Recommended for latest servers: use current Paper/Spigot 1.21.x builds and modern Java runtime for your server version.

Overview

This update includes critical bug fixes related to placeholder functionality and message configuration loading.

Changes

1. Fixed %watcherboss_timeleft% Placeholder

• Previously, the placeholder displayed "0 min." when the boss had not yet spawned and the timer was running
  
  
• Now correctly shows remaining time until spawn
  
  
• Seconds are included for more accurate display
  
  
• Format improved to "X min. Y sec." or "Y sec." when under one minute
  

2. Fixed Message Loading from messages.yml

PLEASE DOWNLOAD NEW CONFIG.YML​

• Previously, the invulnerability message did not update from messages.yml
  
  
• Now messages are loaded from the correct file
  
  
• All messages are fully configurable and reload properly using /watcherboss reload
