• Add stat_info menu
  • This allows players to see exactly how their stat and trait levels are calculated
  • Accessed by clicking any of the stat items (glass panes) in the stats menu (/stats)
  • The menu is tab-based and shows stat modifiers by default. Trait modifiers can be viewed by clicking on the tab buttons on the right.
  • Each tab shows any base value, value from skill rewards, and custom modifiers
• Add percentage-based stat and trait modifiers
  • Modifiers now have an operation value that defines how they are applied
  • The add_percent operation multiplies the stat level by 1+value/100
    • For example, a modifier with value 50 multiplies the stat by 1.5
    • The values for all add_percent modifiers for a stat are added together before multiplying the stat (additive multiplier)
  • The multiply operation directly multiplies the stat level by the value
    • For example, a modifier with value 2 doubles the stat level
    • Each multiply modifier is applied separately (multiplicative modifier)
  • All existing modifiers use the add operation, which is the basic addition to the stat level
    • All add modifiers are applied before any add_percent or multiply modifiers
  • The following existing commands have been modified to add an operation argument:
    • /skills modifier add <player> <stat> <name> <value> [operation] [silent] [stack]
    • /skills trait add <player> <trait> <name> <value> [operation] [silent] [stack]
    • /skills item modifier add <player> <stat> <value> [operation] [lore]

    • /skills armor modifier add <player> <stat> <value> [operation] [lore]
    • /skills armor trait add <player> <trait> <value> [operation] [lore]
    • The operation argument is optional and defaults to add
• Add temporary modifiers
  • Temporary modifiers are automatically removed after certain amount of time
  • Use the following commands to add temporary stat and trait modifiers:
    • /skills modifier addtemp <player> <stat> <name> <value> <duration> [pauseOffline] [operation] [silent] [stack]
    • /skills trait addtemp <player> <trait> <name> <value> <duration> [pauseOffline] [operation] [silent] [stack]
    • The duration argument is in the format [years]y[months]mo[days]d[hours]h[minutes]m[seconds]s
      • Examples of valid durations are 5s, 10m, and 4d2m1s
    • The pauseOffline argument defines whether the remaining duration should stop counting down when the player is offline (defaults to false)
• Add block requirements
  • Block requirements are customizable restrictions on breaking, placing, or harvesting blocks
  • Requirements are defined in requirement.blocks.list in config.yml
  • Each element in the list can have the following keys:
    • material - The name of the block to add requirements for (required)
    • allow_break - Whether to ignore requirements on block break (defaults to false)
    • allow_place - Whether to ignore requirements on block place (defaults to false)
    • allow_harvest - Whether to ignore requirements on block harvest (defaults to false)
    • When none of the above allow options are defined, the block cannot be broken, placed, or harvested when requirements are not met
    • requirements - A map list of the requirement nodes for this block. Each element in the list can have the following keys:
      • type - The type of requirement, which can be skill_level, permission, excluded_world, or stat
      • message - The error message to send to the player when the requirement is not met. Supports MiniMessage and PlaceholderAPI (optional).
      • Each type has specific keys below that must be added to define type behavior. These keys are added in the same indent level as type.
      • The skill_level type requires the player to be at least a specific level in a skill. Keys:
        • skill - The name of the skill to add a level requirement for
        • level - The minimum skill level the player must be
      • The permission type requires the player to have a specific permission node. Keys:
        • permission - The permission node required
      • The excluded_world type defines a list of worlds that will make the requirement fail if the player is in one of them. Keys:
        • worlds - The list of worlds to not allow the player to be in
      • The stat type requires the player to be at least a specific stat level. Keys:
        • stat - The name of the stat to add a level requirement for
        • value - The minimum stat value that the player must be
  • General options related to the block requirement system are in requirement.blocks:
    • enabled - Whether block requirements are checked at all
    • bypass_in_creative_mode - Whether to ignore block requirements for players in creative mode (defaults to true)

New Features

• Add anti-AFK system for preventing AFK XP gain
  • This is an optional feature that detects and blocks repetitive AFK skill XP gain, encouraging active play
  • Must be manually enabled with the anti_afk.enabled option in the main config
  • There are 8 types of checks that can block AFK XP gain in the following skills: Farming, Foraging, Mining, Fishing, Excavation, Fighting, Archery, and Defense
  • The checks work in one of three ways: detecting identical player coordinates, facing direction (pitch/yaw), or the entity being involved
  • Checks are configured in the anti_afk.checks section
    • Specific checks can be toggled with the enabled option
    • The min_count option is the number of identical XP gain conditions in a row for the player to be blocked from gaining XP
    • The max_distance option for some checks is the threshold for which movement below that value is still considered identical
  • Logging for failing anti-AFK checks can be enabled with the anti_afk.logging_enabled option
    • The log_threshold is an expression determining the count of identical conditions required for logging an event. The min_count variable can be used in this expression to reference the min_count in the checks section for a check type.
    • Logs will be sent to any online player with the auraskills.antiafk.notify permission (op by default)
    • Logs are saved to storage can can be viewed for any player with the /skills antiafk logs <player> [page] [perPage] command (auraskills.command.antiafk.logs permission)
  • Important disclaimer: A player failing checks and being logged does not necessarily mean they are cheating or using a macro, as false positives can be common for legitmate players, especially if min_count is low. An example is a player using a mob farm manually can still trigger anti-AFK checks. Always check logged players manually before taking any action.
• Add entity loot for fishing loot tables
  • The new entity loot type adds the ability to catch entity with fishing
  • Defined by a loot entry with type: entity
  • The entity key defines the type of entity caught
    • Vanilla entities/mobs are defined by name (e.g. entity: zombie)
    • MythicMobs can be used with the mythicmobs: prefix (e.g. entity: mythicmobs:SkeletonKing)
  • The health key overrides the entity max health attribute
  • The damage key overrides the entity attack damage attribute
  • The level key can be used to define the AuraMobs or MythicMobs level
  • The default vertical and horizontal velocities when caught can be overridden with velocity.horizontal and velocity.vertical

  • Any plugins working with ConfigurationNode in the API will break and must be updated (such as using LootParser, creating custom source types, or ItemManager#parseItem)
  • Updating is done by simply renaming ConfigurationNode mentions to ConfigNode, as most methods are copied over exactly
  • This change was made to fix critical loading errors with plugins like Nova

New Features

• Add Oraxen support
  • Oraxen note blocks defined in sources will now give XP properly
  • Custom blocks can now be easily defined in sources by prefixing the block option of a block source with oraxen:
    • For example, block: oraxen:mythril_ore will automatically register the block state from Oraxen without needing to manually define a state
  • Oraxen items can be directly used in any source menu_item option using a string key prefixed with oraxen:
    • For example, menu_item: oraxen:mythril will use the exact item defined in Oraxen, including any NBT
    • This is defined as a string value directly on the menu_item key rather than the map section used for normal menu items
  • Custom loot from Oraxen blocks will drop extra items correctly with Luck traits like Mining Luck

  • To use jobs, the jobs.enabled option must be set to true in config.yml
  • Income for all XP sources is configured under jobs.income
    • If use_xp is true, sources will give a multiple of the XP gained based on default.income_per_xp
    • If use_expression is true, sources will give XP based on the result of default.expression
      • The available variables include xp, base_xp (value without multipliers), level (skill level), power, and skill_average
    • If use_final_xp is set to false, the calculation for income_per_xp will exclude all XP multipliers
  • Job selection is configured under jobs.selection
    • Players select a skill as a job using a new item in the level progression menu of a skill (gold_ingot by default)
    • If require_selection is set to false, players will gain income for all skills and selection will be hidden
    • The default_job_limit is the maximum number of skills that can be selected as jobs at the same time

      • income_expression - An expression to calculate the income, works the same as the expression in config.yml
  • Menu files will automatically update to add the new items and components to show job selection
    • However, you must manually add a new line - component: skill_job_active to the lore of the skill template in menus/skills.yml under - component: max_level
    • Everything will still work if this line isn't manually added, players just won't see the "Active Job" displayed in the skills menu
  • New jobs commands:
    • /skills jobs add <job> [user] - Joins a specific job for yourself or a different player
    • /skills jobs remove <job> [user] - Quits a specific job for yourself or a different player
    • /skills jobs removeall [user] - Quits all jobs for yourself or a different player
    • When user is not specified, these commands use the auraskills.command.jobs permission (op by default)
    • To specify a different user, the sender must also have the auraskills.command.jobs.other permission (op by default)
  • New jobs PlaceholderAPI placeholders:
    • %auraskills_jobs_list% - Lists active jobs in a comma separated list of default skill names in all lowercase
    • %auraskills_jobs_list_formatted% - Lists active jobs in a comma separated list with the skill display name of the config default_language
    • %auraskills_jobs_count% - Gets the number of jobs the player currently has active
    • %auraskills_jobs_limit% - Gets the maximum number of jobs the player is allowed to have active at the same time

New Features

• Add menu conditions system
  • Conditions on items are used to add requirements for viewing or clicking an item
  • View conditions will hide the item if not all conditions are met
  • View conditions are added with a view_conditions key under an item
  • Click conditions will prevent click actions or built-in click behavior from running if not all conditions are met
  • Click conditions are added using the on_click_conditions key, or for a specific button trigger like on_right_click_conditions
  • The syntax for any condition key is a map list of conditions that all must be met. This is similar to the click actions syntax.
  • Permission condition type:
    • Permission conditions check if the player has a permission
    • Uses type: permission (optional due to auto type detection)
    • Must specify a permission key for the permission node to check
    • An optional boolean value can be specified (defaults to true)
  • Placeholder condition type:

      • greater_than_or_equals checks if placeholder is greater than or equal to value

  • These are map lists of actions defined directly in the top-level of the menu file
  • on_close will run even if the player switches to a different menu immediately
• Add sound menu action
  • Plays a sound for a player
  • Uses type: sound (optional due to auto type detection)
  • Must specify a sound string key as the sound type to player. This uses the vanilla names matching the /playsound command.
  • An optional category string can be specified (defaults to master)
  • An optional volume number can be specified (defaults to 1)
  • An optional pitch number can be specified (defaults to 1)
• Add syntax to duplicate default menu items with placeholders
  • Creating a new item with a name in the format item_name(1) will replace all the display_name and lore placeholders exactly like the default item_name.
  • Any number can be used within the parenthesis
  • This is useful for duplicating default items across multiple slots with different materials and custom_model_data for resource packs
• Add syntax for duplicating the exact same menu item easily across multiple slots
