Introduce runtime-configurable settings and defaults across multiple kits and clean up implementations. Kits (Armorer, Backup, Gladiator, Goblin, IceMage, Puppet, and others) now expose companion-object default constants and read values via override() (SPEEDHG_CUSTOM_SETTINGS) with typed accessors. Activation and tick-time behaviour snapshot these values so mid-round config changes don't produce inconsistent effects. Also includes general refactors: clearer getters, small API/formatting cleanup, improved no-op ability placeholders, and minor behavior protections (e.g. disallow stealing Backup kit).
Introduce LobbyItemManager to provide interactive lobby hotbar items (kits & perks) tagged via PersistentDataContainer and open the appropriate GUIs. Wire the manager into SpeedHG (field, init, event registration) and clear lobby items at game start in GameManager. Add ItemBuilder.pdc helper and necessary imports for setting PDC. Fix potion duration calculation to use invincibilityTime*20. Change AnchorKit icon/trigger material to ANVIL. Update config (border start/end/shrink and disable anti-runner) and update en_US language entries (lobby item names, leaderboard format, kit lore/formatting and small text fixes).
Multiple refactors and defensive fixes across kits and event handling:
- RecraftManager: use Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() collection API instead of stream.
- ActiveAbility: mark backing _hitsRequired as @Volatile for thread-safety.
- BlackPanther, Rattlesnake, TheWorld, Gladiator, Goblin, Venom, Voodoo: change how kit overrides are accessed (lazy or helper) to avoid stale initialization and improve readability.
- Gladiator: add an ended flag to avoid double-ending fights.
- Goblin & TheWorld: add game state checks to avoid restoring kits or operating on players after game end.
- Rattlesnake: guard scheduled miss task with player.isOnline check and simplify action bar call.
- Venom: clean up active shield tasks on kit removal and make damage handling null-safe with apply.
- Voodoo: wrap passive tick in runCatching and log failures to prevent uncaught exceptions from killing tasks.
- KitEventDispatcher: skip handling if victim is not alive, change interact handler to ignoreCancelled = false, and add isAlive helper.
- ItemBuilder: switch lore serialization to MiniMessage, disable default italic decoration, and reuse a MiniMessage instance.
These changes improve robustness, avoid race conditions, and add defensive guards against invalid state during scheduled tasks and event handling.
Introduce a full kit framework and supporting utilities.
- Add core kit API: Kit, Playstyle, ActiveAbility, PassiveAbility, AbilityResult, charge state and PlayerChargeData.
- Implement KitManager for registration, lobby selections, apply/remove/clear lifecycle and charge tracking.
- Add KitEventDispatcher listener to centralize kit event handling (interact, hits, move) and integrate passive/active hooks.
- Provide example kit implementations: GoblinKit (functional abilities) and TemplateKit (reference).
- Add utilities: ItemBuilder and WorldEditUtils (WorldEdit-based sphere creation).
- Integrate into plugin: SpeedHG now initialises KitManager, registers kits and KitEventDispatcher, applies kits at game start and clears on end.
- LanguageManager: add default message/list/component helpers.
- Build changes: bump Kotlin plugin to 2.2.0 and add WorldEdit compileOnly deps; also expose legacySerializer in Extensions.
These changes implement the kit feature set (items, abilities, charge/recharge flow) and wire it into the game lifecycle.
