Summary

Rewords player-facing gameplay messages that broke immersion with server terms (permissions, access, containers, entities, chunks, plugin names) so they read in character. Staff and admin commands, usage help and setup errors keep their plain wording. Wording only: no permission checks or message routing change.

Before and after

Colour codes are omitted; the code keeps them.

Before After
Cannot consume this item! You cannot eat or drink that!
Highlighted %count% animals nearby. … No animals found nearby. … The whistle is on cooldown for another %seconds%s. %count% animals nearby answer your whistle. … No animals answer your whistle. … You are still catching your breath. Try again in %seconds%s.

Live config

Deployed servers keep their own copy of this file, so Dev and Main need a matching edit when this ships: animal-whistle-config.yml: the three messages.* keys.

Testing

mvn -o verify passes: 229 tests, 0 failures.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Replace out-of-character wording in gameplay messages (permissions,
containers, entities, chunks, plugin tags) with in-world phrasing.
Staff commands, usage help and setup errors keep their plain wording.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Updated the message shown when a player tries to consume a blocked item to: “You cannot eat or drink that!”
    • Whistle notifications now describe nearby animals as answering the whistle, and the cooldown message says the player is catching their breath. These wording changes are reflected in the default messages and configuration examples.

Walkthrough

The blocked-consumption notice now says “You cannot eat or drink that!”. Animal-whistle defaults and configuration messages now describe animals answering the whistle and the player catching their breath. Whistle loader tests use the updated message values.

Changes

Blocked-consumption message

Layer / File(s) Summary
Blocked-consumption notice
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/tfmccore/manager/CoreManager.java
Changes the message sent when consumption is blocked. Event cancellation behaviour remains unchanged.

Whistle message wording and validation

Updates the default and configured highlighted, no-animal, and cooldown messages. Updates loader test values to match.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6a86c

Existing Dev and Main whistle configurations will keep the old wording until their message values are updated. This is a low-impact release follow-up, not a reason to block merging.

31-33: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial

Update existing deployed whistle configuration files.

If Dev or Main already has animal-whistle-config.yml, update all three messages.* keys. WhistleConfigLoader.load reads those existing values, and createConfigs does not overwrite an existing file.

Re the nitpick on animal-whistle-config.yml: agreed, Dev's and Main's existing copies of the three messages.* keys are being updated alongside this release.
