v0.8.6 Patch Notes

Kill-Only Combat XP Mode

• New Kill-Only Combat XP toggle - When enabled, offensive weapon skills (Swords, Axes, Polearms, Staves, Blunt, Daggers, Archery, Unarmed) only gain XP when you kill a mob, not on every hit. Defense and Acrobatics continue gaining XP per-hit regardless of this setting. Toggle it from the admin dashboard under General Settings
• Kill XP scales with weapon and mob - Your weapon's per-hit XP value acts as a percentage bonus on the mob's base XP. A legendary sword with 70 per-hit XP grants a 70% bonus, so killing a Trork (65 base) yields 110 XP. Weapon quality matters equally whether fighting critters or bosses
• Weapon XP Scaling toggle - Control whether weapon quality applies as a percentage bonus on mob base XP. Toggle from the Mob Kill XP admin page. When disabled, kill XP equals only the mob's base value
• Comprehensive mob XP defaults - Over 100 mob types have XP values sourced from the Hytale mob database, organized into clear tiers: critters/passive (5-22 XP), minor hostile (35-45), standard enemies (65), tough enemies (85), elite (130), endgame (250), and bosses (up to 500). All values are overridable
• New Mob Kill XP config - Customize how much base XP each mob type awards on kill via the new mods/mmoskilltree/mob-kill-xp.json config file. Uses the same override-based system as other configs — only your customizations are saved, defaults auto-update with mod versions
• New Mob Kill XP admin page - Browse and edit mob kill XP values from a visual editor accessible via the "Mob Kill XP" button on the admin dashboard. Add custom patterns, disable entries, reset to defaults, trim redundant overrides, and toggle weapon XP scaling
• Pattern-based mob matching - Mob kill XP uses longest substring matching against mob type names (e.g., "Skeleton" matches "Skeleton_Fighter", "Skeleton_Archer", etc.)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed /mmoboost not working when executed by other plugins - Third-party plugins like Tip4Serv that execute commands through the server's command system were rejected with "Only players or console can use this command". The boost command now correctly accepts commands from any non-player sender, such as plugin-dispatched command sources
• Fixed crafting XP not awarded when using workstations - Crafting at workstations (anvils, furnaces, etc.) was not awarding XP or tracking quest progress because the craft event was emitted by the workstation entity, not the player. Crafting XP and quest objectives now work correctly regardless of whether you craft from your inventory or a workstation
• Fixed quests with level requirements not completing retroactively - Quests with "reach level" objectives would stay incomplete if the player already exceeded the required level when the quest was accepted. Level-based objectives are now checked and completed immediately at accept time, so players no longer need to gain another level to unlock quest rewards
• Milestone announcement commands now use server language - The {skill} placeholder in milestone announcement commands now resolves to the server's default language instead of the triggering player's language, so broadcast messages are consistent for all players
