Added a NPC at cove with a little snowman prison build & jump pads to get your advent kit!

Update Chat Plugin.
Ive been putting this one off, as something always breaks, but this is an enormous update that changes all configs, is a major re-write for like 80% of the plugin, but its required for 1.21+ so Ive jumped in today and let it auto convert our configs to the latest ones.
I can already see a plethora of issues in the console, so I'm going to slowly start tackling them one by one, for things you find can you post them into;
Issues, bugs, formatting problems throw issues into #🐛│bugs
Suggestions can go into #deleted-channel
Proxy server
Updated proxy server
Updated chat plugins cross-server plugin
@Changelog Alerts
Survival
Fixed join/leave messages.
The chat plugin is fully broken with these messages, I spent hours trying to fix it, testing, its the plugin, made a report & swapped to our premium essentials plugin to handle the messages, annoyingly I had to enable essentialsX join/leave and set to blank, so that I could remove the vanilla join/leave messages, so its not the tidiest method, until Chat Plugin fixes their mess.
But... I'm able to use any placeholder I want in the messages, for now ive just set server time, but we could show anyhting, player bal or playtime when they log in if we wanted.
Sadly. this can be used to spam chat, as this system does not have any of the spam prevention features the chat plugin has to prevent it, so @Moderator @Helper if anyone does use it to spam just give them a temp ban.
Removed the bounty message when people log in with a bounty, somehow this randomly started working after the chat plugin no longer hijacks it, this will take effect next reboot.
I cant express how long this took, testing on a fresh 1.18.2 server with default configs was my answer to it being broken in the plugin and not my configs... drives me NUTS this chat plugin, every time we update it breaks something insane.

Survival
Changed how you claim bounties, you should no longer need to track a player to claim a bounty now.
You still have the option to track a bounty, but the player will be alerted you did this, but then again you are basically tracking their location, so they should be told! But now, you have the option to collect a bounty without having to track them!
Thanks to #💡│suggestions #deleted-channel via @mikimoosey
Untested, may need a restart. Give me feedback in #deleted-channel once you have tested it. if it dousnt work, wait until restart then try again.
Added 100% drop of the player head when a bounty is collected to the creator of the bounty. You'll collect via /redeembountyheads

Chat plugin update changes
All changes are related to the chat plugin update, read up.
Changed all swear filters, after spending an hour on one set and replacing them all, instantly bypassed 20 seconds after being live, put back to similar ones, but more robust.
Fixed being able to write things like "analytics" at the cost of that the word "anal" is easily abused now, but it solves normal talking.
Changed IP & Website regex filters, but ive already seen a false posative using a command(s) so i will have to either revert or try and fix tomorrow, it solved being able to write "id" but gained other issues, its very hard to get proper good regex, even with AIs help.
Partial fix to discord chat in-game, username dousnt dispaly twice, it somehow can check who you are in-game, i show up as my actual name with colors now, but for the life of my I cant figure out why the text is always &0 this isnt anywhere in the code.

Still got a few more big ones to figure out, /me Im not sure why its not registering and staff cant use color codes in chat anywhere unless we use /chc color to pick an overall color.

Solved /me not working, it was an investigation. Back up and working.
It wasnt being sent to the server, so I couldnt verbose it, see logs or anything its like the client wasnt sending it. Turns out, when I updated the proxy plugin, it renamed the folder with a capital letter, so made a new folder with fresh configs, that wouldnt have been an issue, except they moved /me into the proxy to make it cross-server instead of on the server side, and it was enabled by default, but didnt actually work, disabled that, rebooted proxy and I was able to re-bind me to the chat plugin. I still have the issue of the vanilla bukkit /me trying to be the main me, but thats one for another day.
What a headache for something so basic, but I couldnt just leave it, was driving me nuts.

Survival
In preparation for 1.21 testing, Ive put my server configs into AI and asked it to check specifically for mob spawn issues, and it found both a conflict between files and a massive performance issue that was overlooked.
Buffed Monster spawning slightly.
Increased spawn-limits (bukkit)
Doubled the mob-spawn-range (spigot)
Buffed soft and hard de-spawn ranges, The Invisible Wall (paper)
Buffed entity-activation-range, so when they spawn they don't just act like statues frozen (spigot)
Nerfed axolotl spawns, for some insane reason, it was set to check every tick, so that's 20 times per second, so since we've been running that for 3 years, maybe nerfing that and improving monster spawns will be a good balance.
Since we just rebooted a few mins ago, thats now live, so your job is to see if its made a difference and my job will be to make sure performance doesn't tank, if it does i will reduce monster spawns again.
@Changelog Alerts
Survival
A few more changes for next reboot for gameplay behavior to save a bit more resources.
Ive done these changes for next reboot, so then you have a day of just monster changes before these ones kick in, just so there's not so many changes at once.
Nerfed Anti-xray to just show all blocks as stone instead of spending CPU to calculate patterns of ores around the player, slightly reduce CPU load.
Nerfed Removed AI from pigmen spawned via nether portals nerf-pigmen-from-nether-portals specifically for gold farms, they will still have all their drops, but basic AI, not their full walling around doing stuff, just not needed for being thrown into a meat grinder to steal their gold, just ones out of portals.
Changed Disabled Villager panic mode, I'm not sure this one is even active, but Ive enabled it anyway, If a zombie gets near a villager trading hall, every single villager will activate their AI to panic and run around, but I think Ive removed their brains anyway, so this one might not make any difference.

Test server
Fully wiped for live development of 1.21.10/11/x
Ive started work on testing plugins on 1.21.10 live on test server, public so you can join at any point to play/test.
Im using 1.21.10 right now as 1.21.11 only jsut dropped and plugins are not ready for it, I added ViaVersion so you can use the 1.21.11 client.
The plan is to slowly add more plugins bit by bit over time and test them. we have 89 plugins right now, all of these need to be updated by their developers to work with 1.21.10/x.
Updated test server to 1.21.10 with fresh configs
Ive spent the last few days going through all the bukkit/spigot/paper/purpur configs, there is a lot.. im bound to have missed something.

- build a team of trusted players to work alongside staff to help get this tested as fast as possible, custom rank, custom area on the discord, special tags etc to keep forever once were all done, itll be an invite only system, its not made yet
- Make the global chat channel on test its own channel thats syned with survival to show up as another channel in survival staff can see
- Add a fresh 1.21.10 world to experment in and play about with new stuff

Changed for next rebootWither Skeleton drops related to #deleted-channel the outcome was;
This was changed years ago to test mob drops and reduce the chance of drops due to massive farms, but overlooked looting_multiplier for event items, which worked.
Added coal drops back
Removed sunflower drops (Im unsure if this ever worked)
Nerfed looting multiplier, there is no way to set a cap of say looting 3, so any event items say looting 4 or 5 work still, its just been reduced multiplier, kept the chance the same.
Sadly theres no way to recover the beacon market, once created these items dont expire with infinite mobs spawning its an infinite pool that only goes downwards for beacons in the marketplace.
Only way to recover would be to have them as an ingredient for brewing, crafting or a currency for something (Put them in a cannon to fire LOL)
Test Server (1.21.10+ testing)
/server test | test.piratemc.com
Fixed world changing permission issue, unrelated to new version, was set to survival only.

- Make the global chat channel on test its own channel thats syned with survival to show up as another channel in survival staff can see
- Add a fresh 1.21.10 world to experment in and play about with new stuff
️ live development enviroment at its very infancy, dont report that plugins dont work, they are not on the server! @Changelog Alerts
Whole Network
Updated the wrapper that runs the server so I could get newer minecraft servers to run.
Test server
Bug Can't get Essentails to boot as its trying to convert half a million user files Crashes the server, absolutle solid work Essentails team. First major bug to solve, thats where your /bal is, maybe its time to kill it off entirely and fully move to premium essentails plugin, that has its own Eco system.
@Changelog Alerts Survival
Changed for next rebootWither Skeleton drops related to #deleted-channel the outcome was;
This was changed years ago to test mob drops and reduce the chance of drops due to massive farms, but overlooked looting_multiplier for event items, which worked.
Added coal drops back
Removed sunflower drops (Im unsure if this ever worked)
Nerfed looting multiplier, there is no way to set a cap of say looting 3, so any event items say looting 4 or 5 work still, its just been reduced multiplier, kept the chance the same.
Sadly theres no way to recover the beacon market, once created these items dont expire with infinite mobs spawning its an infinite pool that only goes downwards for beacons in the marketplace.
Only way to recover would be to have them as an ingredient for brewing, crafting or a currency for something (Put them in a cannon to fire LOL)
Test Server (1.21.10+ testing)
/server test | test.piratemc.com
Fixed world changing permission issue, unrelated to new version, was set to survival only.
