1. Improved the pathfinding algorithm: villagers can now navigate through fence gates, opening and closing them, including double-stacked fence gates.
2. Fixed a rare bug where villagers would destroy farm fences due to the Treecapitator algorithm, causing flooding.
3. Expanded the configuration. Village construction and all related features can now be disabled.
4. Fixed the code responsible for item production. Villagers now craft resources again using items from the village warehouse! The same applies to quests.
5. Farmers no longer fish; this is now handled by fishermen.
6. Added a check for movement in Pose.SLEEPING. If an NPC tries to walk while in the sleeping pose, the plugin will automatically stand them up.
7. Farmers are now completely unlinked from composters. Farmers will work on all farms in the settlement, rather than only the one where their workstation is located.
8. When villagers build iron golems, the golems are no longer duplicated.
9. Paths are no longer generated to golem structures and lanterns; lanterns now spawn exclusively on the sides of paths.
10. Farmers now perform their duties more responsibly; they automatically find untilled soil on farms and plant various crops.
11. Improved the farm construction process: NPC builders now place dirt blocks, till them, place water, and only then start planting crops.
12. Improved command parsing: the plugin now correctly processes commands if a player uses multi-word settlement names.
13. Fixed the village expansion algorithm. A bug previously caused villagers to stop building new structures, permanently freezing the village in its current state. This has been resolved.
14. Fixed a minor bug where NPCs got stuck in blocks during construction.
15. Increased the priority of functional buildings. This can be considered a bug fix, as villagers previously often built nothing but regular houses.

1. The plugin has been ported to 26.1.2.
2. Due to compatibility issues with older Minecraft versions caused by Mojang's actions (dropping obfuscation), support for previous versions has been removed. The plugin now works exclusively on 26.1.2. This approach will be maintained in the future, as I no longer plan to support multiple versions of the game. If you are using a version below 26.1.+ (e.g., 1.21.*), please use Souverainete 0.8.2.1.
3. Great news: Google took pity on us mere mortals and set a reasonable RPD (Requests Per Day) limit for Gemini Flash 3.1 Lite. 500 free requests per day with a massive context window is practically a dream. The default AI provider has been changed to Gemini; I recommend all plugin users switch to it, as it is smarter, faster, supports more languages, and is trained on a vast amount of information.

I won't promise any new updates, but given the situation with Gemini, I might try to add something cool. Thanks for reading.

P.S. Don't forget to update the required libraries, such as PacketEvents.
