Change Log

Bug Fixes

• Sometime island teleport home command did not work. (Commit: 930433b)
• When deleting an island, 1 block around two of the edges could sometimes be left depending on the size of the island. (Commit: 3c65194) #1863
• Island info command was mis-stating the island protection coordinates by 1 (Commit: b5fd992)
• Island range perms could be 2x island distance #1851 (Commit: 3dd9e97) This could allow protection ranges to be much greater than the island range and therefore overflow into adjacent islands.

API

• User.getInstance can no longer be called with a null - this will throw an exception
• You cannot use User#getPlayer if the User is not a player, e.g., the console. Check that it is a player before trying. The same is true with offlinePlayer. Similarly, you cannot ask for a user's location if the user is not a player. #1856
• Deprecated events, like IslandEvents and TeamEvents were removed. If you write your own events then make sure you implement handlers for them!
• Removed the unused WorldEdit hook. (#1853)
• Fix "ugly" enchant name. (#1858)
• Added API to get a translation without color conversion (Commit: af3c0a8) Enables to get the translation without converting colors to Bukkit colors.

Compatibility

✔️ Minecraft 1.17.1 (for 1.16.5 compatibility use the 1.16.x release
✔️ Java 16

Upgrading

If you are on BentoBox 1.17.2 then do this:

1. As always, take backups just in case. (Make a copy of everything)
2. Stop server
3. Replace the BentoBox jar with this one
4. There are locale changes, so move plugins/BentoBox/locales to plugins/BentoBox/locales.old so the new locales can generate
5. If you customized the locales merge back in your changes.
6. Restart the server
7. You should be good to go!

Compatibility

✔️ Minecraft 1.17
✔️ Java 16

Note: This version requires Paper/Spigot 1.17+ and Java 16 to run.

BentoBox now has a new API that enables Addons to be loaded using the server plugin classloader. This will mean that plugins will be able to access API and data directly in Addons. These new Addon/Plugin hybrids are called Pladdons. You will need to update BSkyBlock and other addons to use this version of BentoBox.

Upgrading

Upgrading from 1.16.5 must be done very carefully and is beyond the scope of BentoBox. Make sure you make a lot of backups and be prepared to use them.

Downloading

You can download the addons and BentoBox in GitHub or download from https://download.bentobox.world.

Change Log

1.16.1 brings some new features and bug fixes to BentoBox. A number of the improvements are around languages (locales) so to see them you will need to delete your old language files so that BentoBox can recreate them. If you have customized your files, do not do this otherwise you will lose all your customizations.

Other notable changes are the addition of a new event in the API: IslandNewIslandEvent. This is fired after the player is teleported to a new island. This can be used by addons to run code that needs to be run only after the player has arrived on their new island. One example is with Boxed, where achievements are cleared for the player.

New Features or Improvements

• In 1.16.0, admins could set island settings using the command line. This release we added the ability to set the spawn island settings. (commit: 031d789).

• Added locale strings for the DamageCause enum. Used in InvincibleVistors (commit: d97d15d)
• Translate ja.yml via GitLocalize (#1711) (commit: 487fa6a)
• Added DamageCause into zh-CN.yml and zh-HK.yml. (#1721) (commit: b8d9b73)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed purge command "one day or more" message (commit: 40d1c31)
• Avoid loading or enabling disabled addons. (commit: 1feaddf)
• Remove debug lines. (commit: 0769af0)
• Date formatting was choking sometimes. This is simpler. (commit: d70b07c)
• Fixed end platform generation (#1717) (commit: cf5483e)
• Fixes player teleportation in void. (#1716) (commit: 592b4e3)

Change Log

(#1608)" (#1626) (commit: 054ed30) - this was preventing mobs from being removed when teleporting to an island or when mobs moves outside of the island because by default Bukkit sets all entities as persistent. We need to find another approach if this is desired.
• Translate tr.yml via GitLocalize (#1625) (commit: 93cb2d6) (Credit @OverBrave )

Change Log

  • Added %[gamemode]_island_uuid% placeholder. (commit: 20ba834)
• API
  • Added deprecation JavaDoc to events that are moving to own class (commit: 0e7ab34) - a lot of BentoBox events are moving to their own classes instead of being inside IslandEvent or TeamEvent. If you use the API, shift to these new classes.

Bug Fixes

• Stops async db saving on shutdown. Adds JSON backup. (#1558) (commit: ba903bd)
  • This change may avoid database corruption if a server crashes. But even so, you should be making daily backups of your database. If your JSON database server crashes, immediately make a copy of the BentoBox/database_backup folder. You may need to put those files back into the database if they were corrupted due to the crash. Do not run your server until you do this otherwise even this backup may get overwritten.

This version is a Proof Of Concept (POC) that uses the Slimeworld Manager. It is for experimentation only! Support will only be given to sponsors at this point!

How it works

• Each island exists in its own world
• The world is stored in a database via the SlimeWorldManager plugin
• Worlds are loaded when the player joins the server
• When a player resets, a new world is created
• In theory, a load-balancing system of multiple servers could use one world-storage database (not tested)

Limitations

• SlimeWorldManager only supports up to 1.15.2 so far, so use that server and client.
• Only supports BSkyBlock game mode, i.e., void world
• Does not support addons yet, e.g., Level, because they are not multi-world aware
• Worlds are not unloaded once they are loaded
• Old Slimeworlds are not deleted
• A default world (a hub or lobby world) is required for players to appear in after a server restart.
• Islands are always at 0,0 in any particular world (shouldn't be an issue).

Installation

1. Place the BentoBox jar into the plugins folder. Remove any addons except for BSkyBlock.
2. Download the latest version from the Spigot resource page.
3. Place the downloaded slimeworldmanager-plugin-<version>.jar file inside your server's plugin folder.
4. Place the slimeworldmanager-classmodifier-<version>.jar file inside your server's main directory (not the plugins folder).
5. Modify your server startup command and at this argument before '-jar':

-javaagent:slimeworldmanager-classmodifier-<version>.jar

6. Run the server.
7. Stop the server
8. Edit the SlimeWorldManager sources.yml to use the database you want. The default is flat-file.
9. Run the server again, log in and make an island with /island
10. Have fun!

Description

BentoBox 1.14.2 is a "hot fix" release to resolve an infinite loop bug when using the admin Blueprints to display the bounding box using particles. It can cause endless console spam when trying to paste a blueprint or set a blueprint pos1/pos2 bounding box.

Overview of the new features

1.16.1 support and upgrading

This release adds support for 1.16.1. Upgrading is very simple and should mostly be automatic. 1.15.2 is still supported.

Most additions from Minecraft 1.16.x are covered by our protection. However, if you find any bug related to 1.16.x, please file it on our bug tracker so that we can squish the bug into oblivion as soon as possible.

Quick makeover to the Settings Panel

In this update, the Settings Panel received some well-deserved attention. As you can see, we have improved the "pagination system" by introducing a footer. Moreover, the "Settings" part of the Settings Panel now uses a Comparator instead of Command Block as its icon, which makes it feel less out-of-place.

We plan to iterate over the footer in the following releases by introducing, among other things, a search bar.

We also introduced a new config option in BentoBox, which allows you to define which Material you want to use as your "filler" item in our GUIs: panel.filler-material.

In the following image, I modified this config option to LIME_STAINED_GLASS_PANE:

API Updates

Here you'll find the key points of this update and the things you should do to update your addons to the new standards.

Addons

Database tables @Table annotation - to enable shorter database table names when using MySQL-like databases, use this annotation to give a specific name to your DataObject. Make sure it's unique and not something already used! If you are upgrading an addon, don't worry, BentoBox will automatically shift all the data in the old table to the new one.

FlagsManager now has a unregisterFlag(Flag) method that can be used to remove registered flags if, for example, your addon or plugin wishes to disable itself.

#1344 - item that fills the gap

Gamemodes

getOnRespawnCommand()
