[1.3.0] - 2026-03-13

Added

• Sound effects for all mace abilities:
  • Elytra boost: Breeze shoot sound
  • Ground slam: Iron Golem attack sound
  • Entity trap: Anvil landing sound
• Particle effects for mace abilities:
  • Elytra boost: cloud particles
  • Ground slam: explosion particles
• New config options: groundLaunchStrength, flyingBlocksCount, flyingBlockSpeed, boxSize, boxHeight, enableSounds, enableParticles
• Server-side distance validation — server now verifies that hit targets are within 8 blocks of the player, preventing exploit packets
• Client-side cooldown check — client no longer sends packets while mace is on cooldown, reducing network traffic

Fixed

• Elytra boost in ALWAYS mode — boost now correctly works without elytra equipped when mode is set to ALWAYS (previously the boost method always required elytra)

Changed

• All previously hardcoded gameplay values are now configurable via mace.json
• Config validation now enforces bounds: flyingBlocksCount (0–20), boxSize (3–7, odd only), boxHeight (1–5)
