1.3.0 - Flags of the damned grid

Description

BentoBox 1.3.0 is here, one week late! There has been a lot of twists and turns, ups and downs all along the path towards this new update. As a result, we haven't added as much features as I originally expected to. However, this update brings a lot of bug fixes. This also means that addons should be perfectly compatible with this new version (yet I recommend you to update them as soon as possible).

Before letting you read the changelog, I'd like to remind everyone that development builds are dangerous - yet they helped us to track down a bug that was going to do a lot of damage to your servers if it got shipped into 1.3.0. That's why we postponed this release. The bug is now fixed and I'd like to thank again the users who have been very understanding and helpful to us. However, please, when you're using development builds, you're at risk of losing data. Play safe: take backups, and be ready to downgrade at any moment.

1.2.0 - Ancile

Description

Bugs we have brought, bugs have we slained.
Watch out, vile are those who may remain,
But worry not, as those are the ones you won't have to sustain.

BentoBox 1.2.0 fixes bugs! Thanks to all of you, we discovered some sneaky bugs that we were able to slain, kill and jail!

⚠️ YAML database users, update as soon as possible to 1.2.0! Both 1.0 and 1.1 contain a critical data loss bug that result in players losing their island after banning/unbanning a player. Once updating to 1.2.0, your data will automatically be fixed - players might therefore retrieve their island, if they lost it because of this bug.

Update Gamemode addons, you will.

This release brings in some changes that Gamemode addons must use in order to function properly. We'll release updates for BSkyBlock and AcidIsland as soon as possible!

1.1 - Rune d'Équinoxe

Description

We miss the Sun. So, let's bring in some on your server by download the second official release of BentoBox 1.1!

I'm not going to lie, we've done things big! BentoBox 1.1 brings in overall a better stability, better performances and some new features - nevertheless, that's 90 commits and +1k lines of code. That's why we needed to postpone the update for a week: we needed more time to ensure that what we changed didn't break anything or didn't make things worse than they already were.

Although, I have to admit the overall stability of BentoBox is quite impressive. The modularity we're gambling on is a very tricky thing to handle, and it seems that we're doing it hands down.

Thanks everyone for your support and your help finding bugs!

Upcoming changes

Like BentoBox 1.0, we've got a few things in the code that we started to implement but that we didn't finish yet. This include the island history and the automated ownership transfer (#167).

1.0 - The Beginning of a long Journey...

Description

We finally did it. This took us three years, but we did it! BentoBox is finally production-ready. If you don't mind, we still have a long way to go, at your side ❤️.

Now, sit back. Relax. Take a deep breath. And take advantage of this moment of reading to look at the past, observe the present and imagine the future.

Thanks to everyone ❤️.

Update your addons

Official addons will all receive an update in the following hours or days. Thanks to our incredible crew, you might expect some exciting newcomers as well!

About supported server softwares and server versions

Due to the potential data-loss risks or errors that could occur when running BentoBox on an incompatible server software and/or server version, BentoBox will now stop loading in such an environment.

Therefore, you must run BentoBox on a 1.13.2 Spigot server. Not Bukkit/CraftBukkit. Paper and TacoSpigot are officially not supported, but BentoBox should load correctly.

Contents

API

1. ⚠️ Replaced FlagBuilder with Flag.Builder. Renamed some of the methods (#409).
2. ⚠️ Made Flags final so it cannot be extended.
3. ⚠️ Added GameModeAddon (#415). This is a specific implementation of Addon which creates its own Game world. More information with this video.
4. Greatly improved the Javadoc!
5. ⚠️ IslandWorldManager's methods are now using GameModeAddon.
6. ⚠️ Removed AdminClearresetsCommand and AdminClearresetsallCommand.
7. Added set and reset subcommands to a new AdminResetCommand (#353).
8. ⚠️ Fixed AddonDescription to use a valid Builder pattern.
9. Finished implementation of Addon#onReload().
10. Added AdminReloadCommand for addons to use.
11. Added LogEntry and LogEntryListAdapter.
12. ⚠️ Renamed Island#addToBanList(UUID) to Island#ban(UUID, UUID).
13. ⚠️ Renamed Island#removeFromBanList(UUID) to Island#unban(UUID, UUID).
14. Added ConfigEntry#hidden().
15. Removed @since Javadoc tags. They were useless because they were added during the Alpha process.

Features

1. 🔺 Implemented ability to have multiple schems (#104, #207, #378, #408). Schems can be named anything, but the partner nether or end worlds must be pre-fixed with nether- or end- in the filename. Additional schems can be added by the admin into the schem folder, or they can be stored in the jar file of the add-on. Both are supported.
2. 🔡 Added DISABLE_TELEPORT_WHEN_FALLING flag (WORLD_SETTING) (#403). It will prevent players from teleporting back to their islands using commands when they're falling into the void.
3. 🔺 🔡 Added DISPENSER, DROPPER, HOPPER flags (PROTECTION) (#401). These were previously protected by the CHEST flag).
4. 🔺 🔡 /<admin> clearresets and /<admin> clearresetsall are replaced with /<admin> resets reset. Use @a instead of the player's name to reset the resets counter of all players (#353).
5. 🔡 Added /<admin> resets set <player> <resets> (#353).
6. 🔺 🔡 ⚙️ Implemented asynchronous schem pasting (#376). Current schem are compatible, however you must update them to the new format (by pasting them and re-saving them) in order to avoid issues such as torches popping, etc... If you were using the default ones, you just need to delete the schems folder and restart your server.
7. 🔡 ⚙️ Added ban limit (#423).
8. 🔡 Added ITEM_FRAME flag (PROTECTION) (#391).
9. /bentobox reload now reloads Addons that support reloading (#370).
10. 🔺 🔡 ⚙️ Removed general.allow-obsidian-scooping and made it a WORLD_SETTING flag OBSIDIAN_SCOOPING (#432).

Tweaks

1. 🔺 🔡 Renamed CHEST flag to CONTAINER (#402). Players will need to update the value as it will be resetted to default.
2. ⚙️ Removed general.starting-money from the config (#432).
3. Added defensive code in JSON-based databases.
4. Improved some config comments.
5. Metrics: added islands count.
6. ⚙️ Removed island.custom-ranks from the config (#432).
7. Made general.rank-command experimental in the config.
8. 🔡 Improved the "successfully loaded" message in the console.

Bug fixes

1. Fixed /bentobox reload not reloading correctly the locales from addons (#417).
2. Fixed code smells (lots of them!).
3. Fixed commands being registered with their main label as fallbackPrefix. E.g.: /is from BSkyBlock was registered as /island:is instead of /bskyblock:is.
4. Fixed IslandCreatedEvent/IslandResettedEvent being fired too early.

Work in progress

This release contains some features that are still being worked on. However, we couldn't remove them safely from the production branch, as some features relies on some of these changes. Therefore, we disabled them for this release so they won't do anything bad. Once they'll be fully implemented, we'll let you know!

1. Automated island ownership transfer (#167).
2. Island logs / Island history / Island timeline.

Alpha 13 - Santa Claus is coming to town!

Description

We're obviously late - but well, where's the fun of developing a plugin on our free time if we had to sleep one hour a day to keep up with daily releases? We know there are some new Skyblock plugins that came out recently. And that they actually catched up in less than a month what we did in two years. But we're working with ❤️, and you'll see the difference!

This pre-release might be the last one, actually. A lot of work still has to be done, especially on addons and user experience, but the metrics we gather talk for themselves: 70 servers are using BentoBox while we're still in alpha. Even though that's nothing compared to the 2000+ servers using ASkyBlock and the old AcidIsland, that's impressive. Thanks!

Today, we've got some crunchy new features, tweaks and bug fixes that'll make everyone's life easier 🙂.

Update your addons

Official addons will all receive an update in the following days, in order to use all the new features that got added in Alpha 12 & 13.

Contents

• API

1. Plugins will now be able to request data from addons using Addon#request(String, Map<String, Object> (#400 @HyKurtis). Note that this is still a WIP - addons need to be updated to use this new system. But we sincerely hope it will make creating external plugins requesting addon's data a lot easier!
2. LocalesManager: added #getOrDefault(User, String, String) and #getOrDefault(String, String).
3. ⚠️ Removed deprecated methods in Island.

• Features

1. 🔡 Added NAME_TAG flag (#390).
2. 🔡 🔺 Splited PORTAL flag into NETHER_PORTAL and END_PORTAL (#388). NETHER_PORTAL and END_PORTAL will be using the default protection values, not PORTAL's one, so please make sure to tell your players that they may need to change these settings on their island.
3. 🔡 🔺 Added support for translatable "starting" sign (#372). The sign must have [start] as its first line.

• Tweaks

1. Players trying to go through an End portal while they are not allowed to will receive the "Island protected" message. It was previously silently denying the action.
2. Added some metrics related to the database type and the default language.
3. Added website to plugin.yml.
4. BentoBox now only tries to enable/disable addons if there is at least one addon loaded.

• Bug fixes

1. Fixed NPE when reloading BentoBox after deleting the locales folder (#385).
2. Fixed island deletion deleting some blocks of nearby islands (#405).

Alpha 12 - It's freezing cold outside!

Description

Winter is coming. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere. In that case, would you consider sending us some of the Sun back? - Thanks.
This pre-release fixes bugs and introduces a bunch of tweaks and features

Addons will be updated on December, 16th.

In order to fully take advantage of all the features that got added in this version, you will have to update your addons (especially BSkyBlock / AcidIsland) once we release an update for both of them.

2. Fixed code smells.
3. 🔡 Added IslandInfoCommand with the following aliases: info, who (#361). This is basically a copy/paste from AdminInfoCommand.
4. 🚧 Deprecated Island#showInfo(BentoBox, User, World) and Island#showMembers(BentoBox, User, World). They are replaced with equivalents that only requires an User as parameter: Island#showInfo(User) and Island#showMembers(User).
5. Added Addon#onReload() (#370). It currently has no effect.
6. Improved various Javadoc bits.

• Features

1. 🔡 Added FROST_WALKER protection flag (#183). Frosted ice generation was previously protected by the PLACE_BLOCK flag.
2. 🔡 Coops are now removed of the island when all island members are logged out (#335).
3. 🔡 Added EXPERIENCE_PICKUP protection flag (#217).

• Tweaks

1. Made the "tried to paste schem" error less confusing.
2. 🔡 Added commands.help.syntax-no-parameters to avoid layout inconsistencies in the command help layout (#379).
3. Language names in the Language Panel are now longer italicized.
4. 🔡 World Settings flags that are using a "sub-panel" now have their name yellow (configurable in localization files) (#383).
5. 🔡 Added colors to the Settings Panel's categories (configurable in localization files as well) (#383).
6. Upgraded bStats dependency to 1.4. I don't really know what this brings, but keeping things up to date is fine!

• Bug fixes

1. Fixed animals which could be bred or fed to grow up while BREEDING was not allowed (#366).
2. Fixed AdminVersionCommand returning nothing (#374). It now displays the addon's version.
3. 🔡 Fixed some multi-line localization colors (#383 (comment)).
4. 🔡 Fixed some formatting in all localization files.

Alpha 11 - The "We're LAAAATE" update

Description

This pre-release brings some bug fixes, although it is mainly focused on improving the consistency in the code.

When will BentoBox be released ?

I originally planned to release BentoBox (1.0) by the end of November, but I have to admit we're late. Therefore, the new goal is to release BentoBox by the end of December!

Contents

• API

1. ⚠️ Removed previously deprecated methods and classes (check Alpha 9's changelog).
2. Fixed some code smells.
3. Replaced all the code referencing to team leader. This was a long-time misleading conception (it comes from ASkyBlock): island owners were sometimes known as "team leaders", sometimes "leaders" and sometimes "owners". As of today, it will be "owner" everywhere.
4. Added IslandsManager#getIslandCount(World).
5. Added some defensive code in User#getPermissionValue(...) to prevent bugs in case the provided permissionPrefix was ending with a dot.

• Features

1. ⚙️ Finished implementation of max-islands config option for Gamemode addons. No need to update your addons, as this was an unfinished feature that was already implemented.

• Tweaks

1. 🔡 Removed en-GB and fr-FR locales: they were outdated. An updated French locale is on the way.
2. 🔡 Updated all locales to match the consistency of the code regarding "island owners". You must regenerate your locale files as the previous ones will be out of sync!

• Bug fixes

1. Fixed NPE when using Nether portal when there was no Nether world (#365).
2. Removed a forgotten "DEBUG" when using buckets.
3. Fixed team.maxsize (max team size) permission not working (#114).

Alpha 9 - Running late...

Description

⚠️ It seems this release has some issues with Yaml databases. A bug fix version will be released as soon as possible.

This pre-release brings in bug fixes and deprecates some methods that needed to be renamed to ensure consistency.
You won't need to update your addons alongside this release.

We're running some delay with our original planning. Alpha 9 should have been the last alpha before the actual 1.0 release, however that logically won't be the case.
