🧪⚡ SLIMEFUN LEGACY v4.1.73 ⚡🧪

🔧 More Stability! 🛡️ Better Recovery! 🚀 Modern Minecraft Support!

The machines are humming, the reactors are glowing, and another Slimefun Legacy update has arrived! 💚

Version 4.1.73 builds upon 4.1.71 and 4.1.72 with important compatibility fixes, improved administrator diagnostics, safer plugin shutdown handling, and continued work toward modern Paper and Purpur support.

Whether you're running a massive automated factory 🏭, managing thousands of Slimefun blocks, or maintaining an entire addon ecosystem, this update focuses on keeping your world running smoothly!

🆕 WHAT'S NEW SINCE v4.1.71?

🛡️ 1. Critical Compatibility Fixes

Keeping your favorite equipment working!

• 🪖 Shulker Helmet Fix: Restored potion-effect event compatibility on Minecraft 1.21.11, addressing the NoSuchMethodError affecting the helmet's levitation handling.
• 🔧 Added regression protection to help catch incompatible API changes before release.
• ⚙️ Continued compatibility testing across modern Paper and Purpur server environments.

🔍 2. Slimefun Doctor Gets Smarter!

Lost items? Legacy IDs? Time for a checkup! 🩺

• 🐼 Improved recognition of historical EnderPanda item IDs.
• 🍀 Added recognition of legacy LuckyBlocks item IDs.
• 📦 Introduced an addon-grouped legacy item recovery preview.
• 🛡️ Recovery previews remain read-only, avoiding unsafe automatic conversions of valuable player items.
• 🔎 Helps administrators investigate historical item compatibility issues before taking corrective action.

Your old Slimefun treasures deserve a chance to survive! 💎

🚀 3. Purpur 26.3 Compatibility Progress

Preparing Slimefun for the next generation!

• 🟣 Added an official experimental Purpur 26.3 compatibility milestone.
• 🧪 Expanded runtime validation for modern Purpur builds.
• 🔌 Added testing of the canonical addon collection against Purpur 26.3.
• ⚙️ Maintained compatibility validation for Minecraft 1.21.11 and newer supported versions.

Note: Purpur 26.3 support is still being validated. Experimental compatibility does not guarantee that every third-party addon is ready.

🧠 4. Better Plugin Lifecycle Safety

Because shutting down should actually mean shutting down! 🛑

• 🔒 Improved handling of GitHub-related background callbacks.
• 🧹 Prevents outdated callbacks from continuing after the original plugin instance is disabled.
• 🔄 Strengthened shutdown and restart lifecycle testing.
• 🛡️ Reduces risks from stale asynchronous results during plugin shutdown.

A safer lifecycle means fewer unpleasant surprises during maintenance.

📦 5. Addon Ecosystem Improvements

One Slimefun. Countless possibilities! 🌎

• 🔗 Updated compatibility tracking for the maintained addon collection.
• ⚡ Advanced canonical addon bundle revisions through r130 alongside the v4.1.73 release preparation.
• 🧰 Improved addon build validation and binary compatibility checks.
• 🏭 Continued integration testing for automation, storage, machines, and related addon functionality.

Separate addon bundle update: Revision r131 subsequently incorporates Networks 1.0.52, including expanded Network manager fixes. This is an addon-bundle update rather than a new core feature.

🧪 6. Better Testing & Release Reliability

Less guesswork. More Slimefun!

• ✅ Additional compatibility regression testing.
• ✅ Validation of existing-world upgrade scenarios on Purpur.
• ✅ Stronger release metadata and compatibility contracts.
• ✅ Checks designed to catch API breakage before builds reach production servers.
