# ❤️ LifeHeartsPro v2.4.4 Update

A new **LifeHeartsPro** update is here! 🚀
Version **2.4.4** focuses on team improvements, team glowing fixes, better team administration tools, new team respawn options, improved life-loss behavior, and cleaner messages, sounds, and permissions.

This update is recommended for all servers using LifeHeartsPro, especially servers using teams and glowing features.

---

## ✨ What’s New?

### ✨ Improved Team Glowing System

The team glowing system has been improved and cleaned up.

LifeHeartsPro now includes better glowing handling for teams through Minecraft scoreboard teams. This improves how team colors are applied and helps reduce issues where glowing colors could appear wrong or not update correctly.

New config section:

```yml
teams:
  glowing:
    enabled: true
    force-main-scoreboard: false
    sync-interval-ticks: 60
```

This gives server owners more control over how team glowing should work.

---

## 🐛 Team Glowing Bug Fix

This update includes an important bug fix related to **Team Glowing**.

The glowing system now syncs more reliably and has better compatibility handling for servers where other plugins use custom scoreboards.

If team glowing was not working correctly before, stayed white, or did not update properly, this version improves that behavior.

---

## 🔴 New Enemy Glowing Option

LifeHeartsPro now includes an optional enemy glowing system.

New config section:

```yml
teams:
  enemy-glowing:
    enabled: false
    color: "dark_red"
```

If enabled, players in enemy teams can glow in the configured color.

By default, this feature is disabled, so servers can decide whether they want this gameplay style or not.

---

## ⚙️ Better Scoreboard Compatibility

A new compatibility option has been added for servers using other scoreboard plugins.

```yml
teams:
  glowing:
    force-main-scoreboard: false
```

If another plugin gives players separate scoreboards and team glowing stays white, this option can help force stronger scoreboard syncing.

LifeHeartsPro can also use per-player glow scoreboards for enemy glowing, so each player can see their own enemies correctly.

---

## 🛡️ New PvP Life-Loss Option

A new life-loss option has been added:

```yml
lives:
  only-lose-life-when-killed-by-player: true
```

If enabled, players only lose a life when they are killed by another player.

This is very useful for PvP, SMP, and Lifesteal-style servers because players will not lose lives from random non-player deaths if the option is enabled.

---

## 👥 New Team Admin Commands

LifeHeartsPro now includes new team admin tools.

New admin command usage:

```txt
/lifeheartspro team admin invite <player> <team>
/lifeheartspro team admin kick <player> <team>
/lifeheartspro team admin disband <team>
```

These commands allow admins to directly manage teams without needing to be the team owner.

This is useful for:

✅ Fixing broken teams
✅ Helping players
✅ Managing inactive teams
✅ Removing players from teams
✅ Disbanding problem teams
✅ Server moderation

---

## ✨ New Team Glowing Command

A new team glowing command has been added:

```txt
/lifeheartspro team glowing <team> <color|off>
```

This allows admins to set or disable the glowing color of a team.

Example:

```txt
/lifeheartspro team glowing Alpha blue
/lifeheartspro team glowing Alpha off
```

This makes team glowing much easier to control directly in-game.

---

## 🌀 New Team Teleport Command

A new team teleport command has been added:

```txt
/lifeheartspro team tp <team>
```

This command teleports all online members of a team to the admin using the command.

This is useful for events, moderation, team checks, and server management.

---

## 🛏️ New Team Spawn System

LifeHeartsPro now includes a team spawn system.

New command:

```txt
/lifeheartspro team setspawn <team>
```

This sets a respawn point for a team.

A new TeamRespawnListener has been added internally, which allows LifeHeartsPro to handle team respawns more cleanly.

This is a big step for servers that want stronger team-based gameplay.

---

## 🔐 New Permissions

New permissions have been added for the new team systems:

```txt
lifeheartspro.team.glowing
lifeheartspro.team.tp
lifeheartspro.team.setspawn
lifeheartspro.team.admin
```

The admin permission has also been updated:

```txt
lifeheartspro.admin
```

This permission now includes all new team permissions.

---

## 🔊 New Sounds

The sound system has been expanded with new team-related sounds.

New sound entries include:

🔊 Team admin usage
🔊 Team admin actions
🔊 Team admin invite usage
🔊 Team admin kick usage
🔊 Team admin disband usage
🔊 Team glowing usage
🔊 Team admin success/fail sounds
🔊 Team glowing updated

All sounds can be customized or disabled in `sounds.yml`.
