This release adds support for FancyNPC's in blueprints and MC 1.21.4. You can create starter islands with FancyNPCs on them. We tried to add support for Citizens, but the API is not friendly, so we picked FancyNPCs instead.

✔️ Minecraft 1.21.3+. For older versions, use BentoBox 2.6.0, or earlier
✔️ Java 21
✔️ Addons will need to be updated to work on 1.21.3
❌ Note that Multiverse is not compatible with the Boxed game mode addon

Upgrading

  1. Use MC 1.21.3 or later
  2. As always, take backups just in case. (Make a copy of everything!)
  3. Stop the server
  4. Replace the BentoBox jar with this one
  5. Download the latest versions of all your addons and put them in the Addons folder
  6. Restart the server
  7. You should be good to go!

If you are running 1.21 or later, we strongly recommend you use 3.0.0 release (see above)

Summary of changes

  • Support for 1.21.3
  • Fixes the use of hex color codes in chat, which were broken in the last release, e.g., "&#ff00ff magenta!"
  • Improves the admin Purge command operation (see below)
  • Changes the homes command to show a clickable GUI of the player's island homes instead of just a text list.
  • Improves the Island cache so that islands do not have to be loaded from the database if not required - especially important for larger servers (> 10,000 islands)
  • Improved the customizable Panel API

Improvements to Admin Purge command

Purge is an admin command that will delete islands that have owners/teams that have not logged in for a while. You specify the number of days, and the purge command will let you know how many islands are older than without a login. You can then confirm and they will be deleted. The default purge command will delete one island at a time, so if you have a lot of them, it will take a while.

The old Purge command relied on Bukkit's API to find out when the player last logged in, however, this data can often be lost on the server, due to upgrades, backups, etc., and so was unreliable. This version of BentoBox will use that data if it is available, but also store the player's last login time in BentoBox's database. To get the ball rolling you must run the Purge command at least once - you do not have to actually purge anything because that will set the player data as much as possible.

If you have a lot of islands, like you haven't purged in a while, and your world files are large, then it may be better to use a plugin like Regionerator which when set up correctly, will actually delete unused regions, thus reducing disk space. BentoBox is compatible with this plugin. To find out more read our docs on Regionerator.

Compatibility

✔️ Minecraft 1.21.1, earlier versions maybe.
✔️ Java 17, but recommend to run on Java 21
✔️ Addons may need to be updated to their latest version to work with this version of BentoBox
❌ Note that Multiverse is not compatible with the Boxed game mode addon

Summary of changes

  • New admin command - resethome - this will reset a player's default home to the overworld default, or close to it. Useful if a player mistakenly sets their home in the nether or end, even after all the warnings!
  • New admin command - setmaxhomes which sets the maximum number of homes for the island.
  • Enabled Ops to access Oraxen items, like sitting on chairs, etc. Previously, only island members or owners could do this.
  • Minor improvements to teleporting, such as better notifications.
  • Option to add clickable text and hover text to locale output. See below.

Clickable text and hover text

You can now make any chat text sent to the user clickable or provide hover text. To use it you add commands to the text in the locale file. Recognized commands are:

  • [run_command: <command>] - Runs the specified command when the message is clicked.
  • [suggest_command: <command>] - Suggests the specified command in the chat input.
  • [copy_to_clipboard: <text>] - Copies the specified text to the player's clipboard.
  • [open_url: <url>] - Opens the specified URL when the message is clicked.
  • [hover: <text>] - Shows the specified text when the message is hovered over.

The commands can be placed anywhere in the message and will apply to the entire message component. If multiple commands of the same type are provided, only the first one encountered will be applied. Unrecognized or invalid commands enclosed in square brackets will be preserved in the output text.

Example usage:

message: "Hello [run_command: /help] World! [hover: This is a hover text!]"

The above message will display:

Hello World!
  • Clicking: Runs the /help command when clicked.
  • Hover: Shows "This is a hover text!" when hovered.

Clicking and hovering only applies to text shown in chat.

Compatibility

✔️ Minecraft 1.21, 1.20.6, earlier versions maybe.
✔️ Java 17, but recommend to run on Java 21
✔️ Addons may need to be updated to their latest version to work with this version of BentoBox
❌ Note that Multiverse is not compatible with the Boxed game mode addon

Summary of fixes

  • Blueprints and mobs saving
  • Purging improvements
  • Performance improvements when users log out
  • The Command Rank GUI in settings now have locale text that can be customized for each command in the list.
  • Creeper damage flag - previously this flag prevented all block damage and damage to the user. Now creepers can still hurt users but will not remove blocks if this flag is on. Note, Creeper Griefing (where a visitor causes a Creeper to explode) still causes no damage.
  • Add a BentoBox config option to allow the plugin to run even if island distances are different to the config settings. Previously this would disable BentoBox to avoid weirdness, but it can be overridden. Do not use it unless you know what you are doing.
  • Other minor bug fixes

Compatibility

This release includes a number of bug fixes and optimizations.

  • A Major Bug was fixed where the island spawn (made by running the admin command setspawn) was not surviving a server restart.
  • [friendly_name] and [gamemode] were not being substituted in locale text as expected. The friendly name is the name of the Game Mode.
  • Since the wandering trader arrived on the scene a few years ago, he has been treated as any other villager, but after requests from admins, the wandering trader is now freely available for anyone to trade with on any island
  • Players could be invited by accident if a player ran the team invite command with no name. The last invited player would be invited. Other changes were made to clean up invites and make them work better.
  • A memory leak bug was fixed with the caching done in the Head Getter, which would be run any time a panel was requested with heads in it.
