HealthSync

🆕 Version 0.3 - World Sync Control

• Added World Restriction System: Control which worlds health-sync is active in.
• Added Sync Modes: Choose between PAUSE and KICK when players enter restricted worlds.
• Added Anti-Heal Logic: Automatically forces player stats to match the group upon returning from a safe world.
• Bug Fixes: Improved listener reliability across multiple world environments.

HealthSync is a comprehensive Minecraft plugin that transforms cooperative gameplay by allowing players to link their vital stats—Health, Hunger, and Effects—into a unified "Group" system. Damage taken by one is shared by all. If one eats, everyone is fed. Survival becomes a true team effort.

✨ Key Features

🔗 Dynamic Group Linking

• Squad-Based System: Players form groups with an Owner and Members.
• Invitation Logic: No more force-linking. Send invites via /linkhealth <player> which expire automatically after 60 seconds if ignored.
• Group Management: Use the interactive GUI (/healthsync) to manage members, kick players, or leave groups.

🧠 Smart Synchronization

• Shared Health: All damage is synchronized instantly. If a member takes damage, everyone feels it.
• Shared Hunger & Saturation: Keep your squad fed! Food eaten by one player contributes to the hunger bars of all linked members.
• Effect Sharing: Potions, Golden Apples, and negative effects are shared across the link.
• Expanded Command Suite: The /linkhealth command has been overhauled with new subcommands:
  • /linkhealth create [name]: Create a new group (optional name).
  • /linkhealth invite <player>: Send an invitation to a player.
  • /linkhealth accept: Accept a pending invitation.
  • /linkhealth deny: Deny a pending invitation.
  • /linkhealth leave: Leave your current group.
  • /linkhealth delete: Disband your group (Owner only).
• Experience Sync: (Optional) Share XP levels and progress for shared enchanting sessions.

🌍 World Restriction Sync

• Per-World Control: Use enabled-worlds and disabled-worlds to white/blacklist sync areas.
• PAUSE Mode: Syncing is frozen for players in safe worlds. Upon returning to a survival world, their stats "snap" back to match the group immediately.
• KICK Mode: Players are automatically removed from their group if they enter a restricted world.
• Anti-Heal Protection: Prevents players from healing in safe worlds and bringing that health back into the group link.

⚖️ Anti-Exploit "Smart Respawn"

• No Free Heals: Mechanics prevent the "Death/Respawn Loop" exploit.
  • If a linked player dies and respawns, they do not come back with full health if their team is injured.
  • They respawn with the exact health and hunger of their surviving teammates, ensuring the pressure of the fight is maintained.
  • Standard respawn logic applies only if the entire team wipes.

🛡️ Robust & Stable

• Recursion Protection: Advanced guarding prevents infinite damage loops or server crashes from rapid sync events.
• Disconnect Handling:
  • If a group owner disconnects, ownership is automatically transferred to the next active member.
  • If a group becomes empty, it automatically disbands to save resources.
