Mental v2.8.0-beta
Pre-release
Pre-release
Immutable
release. Only release title and notes can be modified.
Runs on every Paper server 1.9.4 → 26.1.2 (plus Folia) — one jar, no other plugins needed, Java 8 or newer.
What's new for your server
- No gameplay changes with default settings — this release is about letting other plugins cooperate with Mental cleanly.
- Public API, generation 3. Plugins can now follow Mental's combos live (every hit of a developing chain), query combat state directly instead of guessing, and control knockback outcomes explicitly. If you run combat-adjacent plugins (custom enchants, abilities, anti-abuse), this is the release their integrations build on — the
mental-api-3.0.0.jarbelow is for their developers. - Cleaner shutdowns. Plugins listening to Mental's combo events now always see combos end properly when Mental is disabled or a combat module is toggled off mid-fight.
Install or update
- Download
Mental-2.8.0-beta.jarbelow and drop it into your server'splugins/folder (replacing the old jar if you're updating — your config is kept). - Restart the server. That's it — the defaults are the classic combat, no setup required.
One jar, every version. Modern Java reads Mental's Java-17 build, older Java reads the Java-8 build packed in the same file — no flags, no per-version downloads, 1.14.4 included.
Published only after unit tests and live integration runs on real servers of every supported version passed.
