MobRepeller v2.0.0

A major quality-of-life and reliability update: tighter totem shape detection, safer holograms, sturdier spawn control, and an ambient FX task that respects proximity and plays once per totem.

Breaking Change: Totem Shape

Totems are now a strict “vertical cross” in a single plane (X/Y or Z/Y), 4 blocks tall, with arms on the center row.

Legend: X = core material, o = air/other

o X o (y+1) top X X X (y 0) arms row, center = core block o X o (y-1) o X o (y-2) base

Rules

• All 6 required positions must be the same core material:

  • center block
  • +Y (top)
  • -Y
  • -2Y (base)
  • left arm
  • right arm

• Valid core materials:

  • CLAY
  • COAL_BLOCK
  • HAY_BLOCK
  • IRON_BLOCK
  • GOLD_BLOCK
  • DIAMOND_BLOCK

• No extra same-material blocks may touch inside the 3×4×3 bounding box around the cross.
  This prevents “thick” builds (like 2×2 squares) from registering as a totem.

• The shape is validated:

  • on placement, and
  • when re-detecting near a broken block.

If you had older “non-strict” or horizontal-only shapes, you must rebuild them to this strict pattern.

Fixes

• Ghost holograms are now reliably cleaned up:
  • on remove/refresh, and
  • when the plugin disables.
• False totem registration from adjacent same-material blocks (e.g., diamond 2×2s) eliminated.
• Tutorial tip failures no longer block totem creation.
• Ambient FX no longer spams per-player:
  • it plays once per totem per tick when someone is nearby.
