V3.0.9 introduced async saving of YAML files and since then we've seen reports of random issues with island loss, coop and team loss, etc. This appears to be related to this async saving and so I'm removing it for now.

Installation
1. Stop server
2. Back up world and plugin folder
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. Restart - you should be done!

Bug fixes / changes
1. [Major] Erratic data saving causing data loss

Sorry for the quick releases, but this fixes an API bug. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Note - ASkyBlock will not be updated to 1.13 Spigot - it may work, but the path for 1.13 will be with BSkyBlock. Please wait for BSkyBlock to be released after 1.13 Spigot is released and becomes stable.

Installation

1. Stop server
2. Take backups of the plugin folder and worlds
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. Restart

Tweaks

1. New option in config.yml to turn off invites for coops. (general -> coopisrequest: true)
2. Block values can now be negative values (fixed)
3. API - added IslandPreDeleteEvent

Bug Fixes

1. [Major] Issue with island leader losing island due to old team members joining server with old data in their player file.
2. [Major] API - fix NPE when getting island that does not exist
3. [Medium] Team members were not getting teleported back to island if they fell into the void when invincible visitors was active.
4. [Medium] Invincible visitor settings - Players were not treated as "visitors" if they were outside their protected island area, but within the island range.

This fixes the bug in 3.0.9.1. Do not use that version.

This is a hot-fix to 3.0.8.9 correct an issue where the island owner was null when obtained via the API. If you use 3rd party plugins that touch the ASkyBlock API, you should update.

Updating from 3.0.8.9

1. Stop server
2. Copy this jar over the old one
3. Restart

Updating from previous versions - read V3.0.8.9 update instructions.

This release is mostly just bug fixes.

Installation

1. Stop server
2. Make a copy of your ASkyBlock plugin folder and worlds as backup.
3. Copy this jar over 3.0.8.8
4. Restart
5. Read the info below if you haven't already
6. Report bugs on GitHub here

Tweaks

• Coops can have an option to set warps (see coopscancreatewarpsin config.yml)
• YAML file saving moved to be async. Should help with lag if file IO is slow. Also YAML files are saved as temp files before being moved atomically to their final filename. This should help prevent data loss in the event of a File IO issue.
• Add functionality to /is valuefor passing in a material name (Credit: JamieSinn)
• Island deletion is only for the protected area by default now. If you need the whole island area deleted, then you need to set deleteprotectedonlyto false (or add it to your config.ymlif you do not have it already).
• Added permission to allow/disallow control panel on/off control: askyblock.island.controlpanelonoff

Bug Fixes

• [Major] API NPE error with getIsland(Location)
• [Minor] Vanish: Give offline errors for invite,coop, expel and ban commands if target cannot be seen
• [Major] Visitors could activate buttons or pressure plates with arrows
• [Medium] Chinese locale updated
• [Medium] Sometimes a player can die when accepting an invite if teleport-when-falling is denied because they cannot teleport to the new island
• [Minor] Paste air option was being ignored if below sea level
• [Minor] Water buckets could not be dispensed in the Nether
• [Minor] Commands performed could cause excessive timings
• [Minor] Fix for banlist help text
• [Minor] If useowngenerator is true, island deletion cleanup will not be done. You will need to make your island distance an exact factor of 16 to have clean deletion.
• [Minor] 1.7.10 servers were seeing errors on teleport because they don't support spectator mode. Note that 1.7.x is not officially supported or tested anymore so bug fixes are on a completely background-effort basis.

Top Ten Trophies could be taken out by some users. Read note from 3.0.8.7 if you have not installed that already.

Installation

1. Stop server
2. Take a copy of your ASkyBlock plugin folder and worlds as backup just in case
3. Copy this jar over 3.0.8.7
4. Restart

Bug Fixes

• [Exploit] Top ten trophies could be taken out if by changing language.
• [Minor] Island object is now copied more correctly for API.

This release says goodbye to heads for the top ten and warps because of recurring problems with requesting heads from Mojang (timeouts, crashes, etc.). Admins who really, really want to use them can if they set warpheads to true in the general section of config.yml. Issues with heads are no longer supported - sorry.

Installation

1. Stop server
2. Take a copy of your ASkyBlock plugin folder and worlds as backup just in case
3. Copy this jar over 3.0.8.6.
4. Restart
5. Log in and do /is warps - check that everything works - it should show signs
6. Do /is top - check everything works - the top ten are now various trophy items

Tweaks

• Added /asadmin switch command to toggle island protection bypass or not. Will help mods to play as normal players better. (Permission node is askyblock.mod.switch)
• Added IslandPreTeleportEvent to the API - credit Tauchet

Bug Fixes

• [Major] Heads were still causing issues for some servers, so they have been removed.
• [Major] Island deletion could delete a bit of another island in some coordinates if islands were super close together (<16 blocks)
• [Exploit - medium] Players could avoid death from falling if they fell just outside their island protection range and invincible visitors was enabled.
• [Medium] API - API was not providing the actual Island object instead of a copy of the Island object. JavaDocs said it was, but it was not. Corrected to match JavaDocs. Note this may break other plugins if they rely on receiving the actual Island object!
• [Minor] Fancy levels were broken and not showing correct units.
• [Minor] Attempts to obtain a player's system language were failing and setting players to US English all the time. Function was removed.
• [Minor] Console error could occur during shutdown if players were still online.
• [Minor] Multiverse commands could run async due to dispatch command so moved them to run sync.

Island levels were being too generous in their calculations and picking up blocks from next door islands. This fixes those calcs and a couple of other bugs.

Installation
To update do the following:

1. Stop the server
2. Save a copy of your world folders and the plugin folder as a backup just in case
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. Restart the server and you should be done!
5. Report bugs to GitHub here: https://github.com/tastybento/ASkyBlock-Bugs-N-Features/issues

Bug fixes

• [Major] Island level was calculating too much area around the island giving higher levels.
• [Medium] Purging was using too many resources on large servers due to warp panel reordering after every island deletion.
• [Medium] Invincible visitors were dying in the void if teleport when falling was off.

Top Ten Bug Fixes and Other Things
The previously release was not loading the top ten. Use this version to fix.

Installation

1. Stop server
2. Take backups of plugin folder and worlds just in case (copy the folders)
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. Restart
5. Run /asadmin topten in the console to regenerate the top ten. While it is running, /is top will not be available to players. See the console for progress.
6. You should be done. File any bugs on GitHub. Thanks!

New Features

• /asadmin purge players - new command that moves the files of old players that have no island and no team to a folder called oldplayers. Admins can then delete those files if they wish.

Bug Fixes

• [Major] Top Ten not loading
• [Major] Homestead challenge was not working for 1.12.2 servers
• [Major] Level and top ten not working if top ten in chat setting is true
• [Medium] Use of /is top when /asadmin topten command was running caused error.
• [Medium] /asadmin topten was requesting heads for all players in the system

Introduction
This release fixes a few exploits and issues mainly around timeouts that could crash the server. Also, note that cooping requires players to accept an invite now due to an insta-kill exploit.

Enjoy!

Installation
To update do the following:

1. Stop the server
2. Save a copy of your world folders and the plugin folder as a backup just in case
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. If you want to update the language files, delete the appropriate ones from the locale folder and they will be regenerated
5. Restart the server and you should be done!
6. Report bugs to GitHub here: https://github.com/tastybento/ASkyBlock-Bugs-N-Features/issues

Bug Fixes

• [Exploit] Players can sometimes obtain dupe items by throwing them through nether portals.
• [Exploit] Added a confirm/reject to player coop invites. Malicious players were cooping players and killing them.
• [Exploit] Armor stands could be pulled off islands by visitors using rods.
• [Critical] Server crashes (watchdog timeout) when trying to obtain skulls for TopTen or Warps. Occurs when Mojang server is offline or rate limiting. Heads are now cached and obtained async. Big thanks to PaperSpigot Devs for all your help and the Beta testers too!!!!
• [Major] Entity limits do not survive a server reboot. (See below)
• [Major] Scanning for a safe spot to teleport could take too long and crash the server with large islands.
• [Major] Performing the level calc could take too long and crash the server with large islands.
• [Major] Coops could make warps on a coop island.
• [Medium] If a player bought items from the minishop but had a full inventory, the item was lost. Now they will be dropped on the ground.
• [Medium] String entity types (COW, PIG) were not supported for MONSTER_EGG in challenges for required items.
• [Minor] The next challenge level was not showing immediately when a player completed enough challenges.
• [Minor] Fancy level setting handles higher level types, K, G, M, T.
• [Minor] Update to Hungarian translations.
• [Minor] Update to Vietnamese translations.
• [Minor] Auto-detection of player's client language was not working.
• [Minor] Added support for PLANKS in schematics
• [Minor] Door protection was accidentally protecting wooden doors from breakage as well as use.
• [Minor] Warp level restriction was still being used even if 0 or <0 and preventing placing of warp signs.
• [Minor] Biome setting is done async over time. Provided feedback to player on progress and in console. Removed efforts to remove water from dry biomes. Slowed down biome setting to ensure all blocks are set over time.

Entity Limits
Limits on entities previously did not last a server restart because it used meta data on the entities. Met data is not saved by the server. There is a beta feature in this version that saves the meta data on the entities to a file. As this file may grow large, it is disabled by default. If you would like to use it, set "saveentitylimits: true" in the general section of config.yml and restart the server. Please give feedback on this feature.

If you did not update to 3.0.8 or 3.0.8.1 follow the instructions for 3.0.8. Otherwise:

Updating from 3.0.8 or 3.0.8.1.

1. Stop server
2. Take backup copies of your island worlds and the plugin folder just in case.
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. To update language files, delete fr-FR.yml, hu-HU.yml and zh-CN.yml as they will be regenerated.
5. Start the server
6. You should be done! Report any bugs to GitHub.

Bug Fixes

• [Exploit] Player heads on an island could be turned into skulls by visitors placing an anvil on them.
• [Exploit] Heads could be taken out of the warp GUI by changing the language.
• [Exploit] Players could use anti-knockback cheats to still get into a locked island. Now they will be teleported to their island or spawn if they get too far in.
• [Medium] NPC's were being ejected from an island when it was locked.
• [Minor] Language file updates to Chinese, French and Hungarian.

This is a hot fix for 3.0.8 because some 3rd party plugins that use ASkyBlock's API were seeing errors. If you already updated to 3.0.8, just copy this jar over and you should be good to go. Otherwise follow the instructions below:

Updating
There is only one new setting in config.yml which is for the invite timeout (60 seconds). If you want to change that, use the new config, otherwise, if you are already on 3.0.7, you can keep your old one.

1. Stop server
2. Take copies of your island worlds and the plugin folder as backups just in case.
3. Copy this jar over the old one
4. Delete config.new.yml
5. Start the server
6. (Optional) If you want to use the new config, stop the server, look through config.new.yml and move your settings to it. Then rename it as config.yml. Be careful doing this step and check your yml. If you muck up, use the backups you make in step 2 (you made them right?). Then restart the server
7. You should be done! Report any bugs to GitHub.

New Features

• Running the admin command "settingsreset all" will automatically reload config.yml. This should help admins.
• Acid damage now causes the damage animation and sound. This was missing.
• Invites will automatically expire after 60 seconds. Setting in config.new.yml. Never-ending invites were being abused by some players.

Bug Fixes

• [Exploit] Zombie or skeleton horses could be ridden by visitors
• [Exploit] Unrepeatable challenges could be repeated by using commands.
• [Exploit] Alchemist challenge could be completed just with water bottles on 1.8.x servers.
• [Major] Splash potions were not always working correctly for island owners/members when thrown at mobs or monsters.
• [Major] Running "settingsreset" admin command did not reset island settings properly
• [Medium] Eating cake as a visitor was removing health.
• [Medium] Invincible visitors with (ENTITY_ATTACK prevented) were immune to PVP at spawn. They are still immune on player islands.
• [Medium] Heads in the top ten would disappear if the player had not logged in for a long time to the server
• [Medium] Catching yourself with a fishing rod could cause spam in the chat about PVP not being allowed.
• [Minor] API instance could be null and never change if requested before ASkyBlock was initialized.
• [Minor] If admins deleted a world where a warp was, then the warp location become null and caused an error.
• [Minor] Fix for AAC compatibility.
• [Minor] Settings state could sometimes be shown incorrectly.
• [Minor] Mobs could sometimes still spawn even when settings had them disallowed. Note that spawners override island settings.
• [Minor] Malformed control panel icon names would cause a console error
• [Minor] The island level text was not using the island level placeholder [level]

Updating
To update from previous versions, please follow these instructions carefully. Note that updating from very old versions may be difficult and may not work. In the case, sometimes it is best to reset the world anew.

1. Stop the server and take backups of your world and the plugin folder.
2. Delete config.new.yml from your plugin folder.
3. If you want the new language changes, move locale folder to locale.old.
4. Copy this jar over the last one.
5. Start the server and then stop it again.
6. Look at the file config.new.yml - this is the latest version of the config file. You should (must) copy all your settings from your old config file to this one. It is a manual process, so take care. Don't just copy over the top, go through each line. You must take care especially with the island distance and the island protection sections. Most disasters are caused by sloppy config settings.
7. Adjust the locale files if you like. If you don't want to have one available in the language list, just delete the file.
8. Restart the server.
9. You should be done! Remember, if you messed up, you have backups right?
10. Report bugs (bugs only, not feature requests) here.

Bug Fixes

• [Exploit] Players could get a free island reset by inviting themselves with a partial name.
• [Major] Spawners in the nether island were only set as pigs (1.12.1)
• [Major] AcidIsland default island default chest items were not being pasted in. (1.12.1)
• [Minor] Players could hook and pull other players with fishing rods even if PVP was disabled.
• [Minor] Breeding was blocked if mob spawning was disallowed. Now just natural spawning will be prevented.
• [Minor] Coop text was incorrect. Updated locale file.
• [Minor] 1.12.1 deprecates an event that was being used. Switched to new event.
• [Minor] Teleporting to an unowned locked island caused an NPE console error.
• [Minor] Visitors hitting dirt caused the island protection error message to show twice.

Updates

• Locale updates, additions, fixes: French, Spanish, Russian, Hungarian, Turkish. To install, move locale folder to locale.old and restart.
• Added a timer estimate of how long admin island purges will take.
• Changed allowAutoActivator to allowedFakePlayers to enable support for more mods.
• Made /is help header customizable. (Added to locale)

This is a quick release to fix a console spam issue with 3.0.6.10.

Updating
If you are updating from a version before 3.0.6, follow the 3.0.6 instructions, otherwise take backups and then replace your jar with this one. For locale changes, you'll need to move the locale folder so it can be regenerated.

Bug Fixes (Version 3.0.6.11)

• [Minor] Error console spam when players put down a spawner block. Does not affect player experience, just caused console spam.
• [Minor] Setting mob spawn to deny caused spawn eggs not to work, even if they were allowed.

Bug Fixes (Version 3.0.6.10)

• [Medium] Fixed bug with top ten and warp GUI's allowing removal of heads because language titles don't match.
• [Medium] Island fly was lost when going through a portal to the Nether. Players with the permission could log out and log back in and get fly mode in the Nether. Island fly was also lost in a few other instances giving an inconsistent user experience.
• [Medium] The spawn block was not working for teleporting, e.g., determining where to teleport to in the nether. Now, if a spawn block is defined in the schematic section and exists in the schematic, players will teleport to that exact position instead of a random safe position. If that position becomes unsafe, the player will be teleported some random place that is safe. If a portal exists, the player will always go to the portal and the spawn point will be ignored.
• [Medium] Specific spawner types could not be sold in the mini shop. Now, the spawner type can be specified in the extra: line. It works by adding lore to the spawner with the name of the spawner type on it. When the spawner is placed, the plugin will set the spawner to that type.
• [Medium] Players were not taking damage from Ghasts if no TNT damage setting was true.
• [Medium] Schematics were not pasting burning furnaces or items inside inventory holders, like trapped chests, dispensers, hoppers, droppers, furnaces, etc. Other schematic compatibility issues were improved too.
• [Medium] Entity limits were not counting or limiting vehicles, like minecarts, hopper minecarts, etc.
• [Medium] API: Island Enter and Exit events were not always called, especially during teleports.
• [Medium] API: Island level is now a long type. int values are deprecated. Large island levels were showing as negative or zero values.
• [Medium] API: Deprecated Island level event removed.
• [Minor] If a mob spawner hit the entity limit for an island, players near to it would get spam in the chat telling them the limit was reached. Changed so that mob spawners are now silent.
• [Minor] Ops could not toggle spawn settings in the GUI unless they had settings permissions.
• [Minor] Blockvalues.yml did not have 1.12 blocks - added (all value 1)
• [Minor] Color codes were not working for various panels/GUIs with items.
• [Minor] API: Added IslandChangeOwnerEvent to API
• [Minor] API: Added isTeamLeader(UUID) method
• [Minor] Color codes were not working for challenge item lore.
• [Minor] Various locale fixes for typos, etc.

Bug Reports
File any bug reports to GitHub here. If you are using an older server, we recommend you upgrade 1.12 or later. Older version support may be dropped in the future. Also, note that as of the next version Java 8 will be mandatory.

Updating
To update from versions before 3.0.6, follow 3.0.6 instructions, otherwise replace your jar with this one.

Bug Fixes/Updates

• [Exploit] Fixed exploit where off-hand hoe usage could till coarse dirt to dirt. Other off-hand tricks could also be done.
• [Major] Added protection against harmful lingering potions if PVP is off. Also, fixed issue with mcMMO potions bypassing PVP protection.
• [Major] Commands run on a New island or Reset were not run at the right time (should be done after pasting island and teleporting player) so any affects were being overridden by follow on settings like clearing the inventory.
• [Medium] If players spawned back on their island after death, fly and other island perms were not given to them until they teleported away and back again.
• [Medium] askyblock.command.newexempt permission was not working.
• [Minor] Badly formatted control panel settings could cause console errors.
• [Minor] Some blank locale messages were still causing new lines in chat.
• [Minor] Removed comment in config.yml about settings perms being case-sensitive - they are not.
• [Minor] Added option to toggle command feedback silencing on startup. See here: https://github.com/tastybento/askyblock/blob/3.0.6.9/config.yml#L181
• [Minor] Player files will be saved immediately after completing challenges to help avoid data loss if server crashes.

Locale Updates:
If you want to see the new locale settings, you will need to move the whole locale folder to locale.old and restart the server. New files will be generated. Changes/updates:

• [Minor] Topten GUI text was missing localization.
• [Minor] Chinese locale updated.
• [Minor] German locale updated.
• [Minor] Added message to inform player to relogin after changing biome.

Updating
If updating from 3.0.6.x, just copy this jar over the old one (after taking backups!). Otherwise, follow instructions for V3.0.6.

Reminder: Version 4.0 onwards will require Java 8.

Bug Fixes/Additions

• [Major] All players unless they are in creative mode have fly removed when they log out.
• [Exploit] Players can get unlimited TNT with a piston push glitch on 1.9.4 servers. Added option to config.yml (general.allowtntpushing). Disallow if you have this issue (set it to false).
• [Minor] Player could use Tab Complete such as /is invite <tab> to find out that vanished players existed (e.g. players that had done /vanish).
• [Minor] Console error occurs if chat prefixes are set to "" (nothing)
• [Minor] Setting island protection size to zero prevents players from doing anything on their island. This is actually correct behavior but some admins wanted zero to mean "no protection". Now if the protection size is set to zero, it will be set to the island distance size and a warning given in the console.
• Vietnamese locale added. To have it appear, rename/remove your locale folder so that it will be regenerated.

Bug Fix Release
This release also includes preliminary support for Server 1.12.

Updating
If updating from 3.0.6.x, just copy this jar over the old one (after taking backups!). Otherwise, follow instructions for V3.0.6.

Reminder: Version 4.0 onwards will require Java 8.

Bug Fixes

• [Medium] Added protection for zombie and skeleton horses.
• [Medium] Admin purge command had no limit and could crash server when a large number of islands were deleted. Added a purge limit of 500 islands per run. Limit can be set in config.yml if required (general.maxpurge).
• [Medium] Chat placeholders for Herochat were not working. Could not get it to work after a lot of trying. Removed support for Herochat for now. Sorry.
• [Minor] Doing /is ms when minishop was disabled was showing two error messages.
• [Minor] Stats for challenges were wrong.

Reminder: The next version will require Java 8.

Bug Fixes

• [Medium] Admin command to purge protect unowned islands was not working (disallow and allow were opposite).
• [Minor] Jukeboxes could not be used even if music was allowed in the settings GUI.
• [Minor] Tab complete on admin command 'reserve' was showing languages as well as player names.
• [Minor] If somehow a player had a null UUID, it could cause errors in warps and other commands. (Players should never have a null UUID, but some modded servers have this issue).
• [Minor] Code added to try and fix situation where a player is listed as a member on two teams at once. Should never happen, but if files become corrupted, may occur.

If updating from 3.0.6.x, just copy this jar over the old one (after taking backups!). Otherwise, follow instructions for V3.0.6.

Bug Fixes

• [Major] Island settings not set correctly in islands.yml so console errors occurring in async tasks, when running settingsreset, etc.

Updating
If updating from 3.0.6.x, just copy this jar over the old one (after taking backups!). Otherwise, follow instructions for V3.0.6.

Bug Fixes

• [Medium] Console errors when teleporting to island world, or if config.yml does not contain all the settings in the protection.world section. Could also cause errors when saving the grid.
• [Medium] Island reset/leave commands were being executed on the old leader when makeleader command was run.
• [Medium] If players had bad non-numeric settings for numeric permissions, like team.maxsize.x, island.maxhomes.x, island.range.x, island.multiplier.x, console errors could occur and island protection range could be set to zero, resulting in players not being able to interact with their own island.

Updating

If updating from 3.0.6.2, just copy this jar over the old one (after taking backups!). Otherwise, follow instructions for V3.0.6.

Bug Fixes

1. [Major/Exploit] Offline kicked players were not being properly removed from the island and could coop players afterwards
   
2. [Major] Block entity limits in the nether world were not counted properly so players could sometimes place as many blocks as they wished, e.g. MOB_SPAWNER
3. [Minor] Removed even more console errors caused by NPCs.
4. [Minor] Dispenser with flint/steel was causing console error in the block ignite protection class.
5. [Minor] Player's display name (with titles, colors, etc. or a nickname) was being used in some places. Switched to using only the player's actual name (IGN) and made it consistent.
6. [Minor] Visitors could get food from eating cakes but cake would not disappear.
7. [Minor] Custom potions in a player's inventory could cause errors in challenges.
8. [Minor] Polish welcome sign word was spelled wrongly.

Bug Fix Update to V3.0.6

If you are upgrading from a version before V3.0.6, read the installation instructions for V3.0.6.

Warning: Java 8 will be required soon...
The next major version of ASkyBlock and AcidIsland (4.0) will use Java 8 so it's time to upgrade your server's Java environment if you haven't already.

Warning: 1.7.x will not be supported soon...
We will drop official support for 1.7.x servers in the next release (4.0).

Updating

1. Stop server

4. If you want to use the new Netherlands locale, then move the locale folder to locale.old so the locale files will be regenerated.
5. Restart the server
6. You should be done! Report any bugs here on GitHub.

Bug fixes/Changes

1. [Exploit] Inventory was not being reset if player reset their island from another world.
2. [Minor] New island titles were showing too early before teleport to island finished.

2. Take backup of ASkyBlock folder just in case
3. Copy this JAR over the old one
4. (Optional) Edit config.yml to add gate access in for player settings.
5. Restart
6. You should be done!
7. Report any bugs or issues to GitHub here

Updating from earlier versions:

The config.yml file for 3.0.6 is significantly different to previous versions. Updating without converting to the new config.yml version will make your world act strangely because it will use default settings. Settings have moved in the file, so do the update carefully!

1. Stop server
2. Make a backup of your plugin folder and island worlds
3. Copy this plugin over the old one
4. Move your locale folder to locale.old because all the locale files have been updated
5. Delete config.new.yml if it exists
6. Start the server and stop it as soon as it starts
7. Carefully transfer your old config.yml settings to the config.new.yml. Note the new sections.
8. Move config.yml to config.old
9. Move config.yml.new to config.yml
10. Edit the locale files in the locale folder. Note that there is no locale.yml file anymore. You choose your default language in config.yml.
11. Look at blockvalues.yml and check the values in there are okay.
12. Restart the server
13. If you had an island spawn, you will need to recreate it using the /asadmin setspawn command. Then use /is settings to configure the spawn island protection settings. Obviously, you need to be Op or have admin perms to do this.
14. You should be done!
15. Report any bugs or issues to GitHub here (AcidIsland and ASkyBlock use the same issue tracker).

V3.0.6.1 Bug Fixes
[Major] 1.7.9/10 servers had internal errors with challenges or settings GUIs.
[Minor] Citizens was causing console errors.
[Minor] askyblock.settings.* did not work for some permission plugins, e.g. groupmanager
[Minor] Gate access was missing from the default island settings GUI list
[Minor] Creative players were losing fly mode when teleporting to another world
[Minor] Enter and exit messages were still shown for Spawn when disabled in Spawn Settings GUI

New Features and Improvements

• Added askyblock.islandfly permission. If a player has this permission, they can fly within their island space. Configure the island fly settings in config.yml.
• Players can also be given any permission you like when they are in their island or a coop island. Set them in the config.yml file. The perm is automatically added when they enter their island and removed when they exit.
• Option to show fancy island level values, e.g., 12K instead of 12,203.
• Island settings: the settings system has been streamlined. Define which settings you want players to see in the config.yml. Set which ones they can change using permissions. Note that the settings permission names have changed! See the new names in config.yml.
• Island spawn settings are now made by the settings GUI. Fly to the island spawn and after setting it, call up the settings GUI and set what is allowed and what isn't. Spawn protection settings are NOT in the config anymore. They are only made in-game.
• Clicking on a player head in the top ten will warp you to that island if a warp is available.
• Nether trees can be selected for normal nether - set in config.yml.
• Players can see how many points they need to attain the next island level and obtain an estimated value for the block in their hand. The command is /is value.
• Added general entity spawn limiting. See config.yml. This can be used to limit the maximum number of mobs or entities per island.
• The default locale setting is now in config.yml and there is no locale.yml file.
• Added admin command to set the default language (setlanguage) - it will change the setting in config.yml AND reset every player's language to the default.
• Admins can remove languages just by deleting them from the locale folder. To regenerate locale files, remove the whole locale folder and restart.
• Updated PT-BR file for locale. Credit - eBaldino
• Added Russian locale file. Credit - k-egor-smirnov
• Added new strings to locale files in English to help indicate what needs to be translated.
• Added option so that only leader can coop.
• Option to only allow magic cobble generation at spawn.
• /is leave now requires confirmation.
• Added config options to fully protect against acid rain if wearing a helmet and acid water if wearing a full set of armor.
• (11.1+) Added option for island enter/exit strings to show up in the Action Bar. No color supported.
• Added protection against the team kick/leave exploit to obtain free islands. Players with zero resets left cannot make islands any more!
• If the admin changes the resets left setting in config.yml it will be applied instantly to all players. Previously it required the admin to reset player by player.
• Added perms for spawn and reset commands.
• Admins can globally reset a challenge for every player in the game. The reset can also repeat periodically every few minutes, hours or days.
• Improved admin cobblestats command to show stats for different island levels.
• Admin command help will use the help color.
• API: Coop events can be canceled. Option to get and set how many resets a player still has.
• Switched to bStats for metrics.

Bug / Exploit Fixes

• [Exploit] Made challenges not reset on leaving a team to stop players receiving multiple rewards
• [Exploit] Changed how askyblock.island.range.# works. The island range can now go down as well as up. This prevents players with a large range giving an island to those with a lower range. The range will change at the time of handover, or if the new owner is offline, when the new leader logs in.
• [Medium] Challenges would not work correctly if there were no challenge levels defined
• [Medium] Some blocks could not be placed at spawn even if the place-blocks setting was allowed
• [Medium] Fixed long standing bug in calculate island level API.
• [Medium] Portal use was not allowed for island owners if it was disabled for visitors.
• [Minor] Schematics - mushroom soup was unsupported
• [Minor] Falling into the void while trying to hit a block caused a console error
• [Minor] Added missing 1.11 blocks to blockvalues.yml
• [Minor] Total island villager count was not shown correctly for teams.
• [Minor] Badly formatted filenames in the locale folder were causing bugs
• [Minor] Removed WARN in console for "Problem removing no push from scoreboard."
• [Minor] Schematics - pasting a chest sometimes caused an error.
• [Minor] Next and Previous could not have color codes for the Warp Panel.
• [Minor] Due to name changing, it is possible for two players to temporarily have the same name in the game. Admin commands could use the old UUID instead of the new UUID.
• [Minor] Island teleporting was not checking the askyblock.island.go permission.

V3.0.5.1
Bug fixes. If upgrading from V3.0.5, follow these instructions, otherwise follow V3.0.5 instructions.

4. Restart server.
5. You should be good to go! Report bugs on Github.

Bug fix

1. [Minor] Console error (NPE) caused when animals or mobs spawned outside of an island area when animal spawn limits were enabled.

Improvements

1. Added /asadmin cobblestats command to show statistics on magic cobblestone generation since last restart. This is mainly for debug.
2. Changed how exclusion from the Top Ten works: All players now receive the default askyblock.intopten permission. If you do not want to be in the top ten, then give yourself the -askyblock.intopten permission (the negative permission). A warning will also be given to players who are excluded from the top ten when they do /is level so that there is no confusion. The previous permission askyblock.excludetopten has been removed because it was causing too many problems with players not being in the top ten by accident.

V3.0.4.1
Bug fixes and new options.

Installation / Upgrading
If updating from V3.0.4 do this, otherwise follow V3.0.4 instructions.

1. Stop server, take backups to be safe.
2. Copy this jar over the old one.
3. Restart server.
4. You should be good to go! Report bugs on Github.

Bug Fixes

• [Major] Island entry/exit announcements were switched off by default with V3.0.4 (see below for how to recover).
• [Major] Spawn eggs were not working in the minishop.
• [Minor] Schematics with CRAFTING_TABLE were not being accepted.
• [Minor] Comment in config.yml for FTB Autonomous Activator was missing info.

Fixing entry/exit announcements
In V3.0.4 a new setting was added to allow players to potentially turn off entry/exit messages. This defaulted to false so effectively all entry/exit messages were switched off. To turn them back on run this command in the console or as admin:

/asadmin settingsreset enableJoinAndLeaveIslandMessages

Tip: use tab-complete to see all the flags available and autocomplete.

Note, this admin command resets settings for all islands to the default setting in config.yml. This command should be run if you change a setting and want it to apply to every island out there.

Additions

1. Added setting to enable kicked players to keep their inventory. (general.kickedkeepinv)
2. Added admin command to reset any island setting to the config.yml default. /asadmin settingsreset [help | all | flag]. Use tab-complete to see all the flags available.

V3.0.4

V3.0.0.8
Added support for Server Version 1.9.4.

Upgrading from V3.0.x

1. If upgrading from pre-3.0.x versions, follow the 3.0.0 instructions otherwise:
2. Stop server
3. Back up world and plugin folder just in case.
4. Replace previous jar with this jar
5. Start the server.

V3.0.0.7
Read 3.0.0.x release notes below.

Bug Fixes

1. [Major] Island level report was being shown to players at login if calculate level on login was enabled.
2. [Major] Team max size was still not being set correctly if player had team.* permission.
3. [Minor] Biomes in greenhouses was being reset.

Features

1. Added askyblock.island.multiplier.X permission where X will multiply the island level. Will only work when player with permission is online. All players in a team must have this permission, otherwise the level will change depending on who does it.

V3.0.0.6
Warning! - this update could change your player's island levels substantially if you used block limits for leaves, wood, logs, etc. Read the bug fixes for details.

Bug Fixes

1. [Major] Fixed very old bug where island level calculation was not taking into account block limits properly in blockvalues.yml for blocks with variations, like wood or leaves. *Note that as limits are now fixed, some islands could lose a substantial number of levels if you had limits on wood, logs or leaves and the players built up their levels using those.* If you just used the default blockvalues.yml file, then you should see no change.
2. [Major] Players with askyblock.island.* or askyblock.island.team.*, etc. permissions were receiving maximum island protection range, max homes and max team members.
3. [Medium] Schematics with spawners made with latest WE (using 1.9 format) were causing errors during loading.
4. [Minor] Fixes placement of 1.9 boats on islands.

Improvements

1. Added console-only island level detailed report command (asadmin level [playername]) that provides extensive detail on an island's blocks and scoring. See http://pastebin.com/Nu157ri3for an example.
2. Added an auto-description to minishop items if it is not in the config file.
3. Added a recovery mode to remove super-flat chunks if they exist. They can crop up if the plugin generator is blocked for some reason (e.g. bug in Multiverse) or the plugin isn't run and chunks are loaded in the world. This checks for bedrock at y=0 and if it exists, it will regenerate the chunk. Console will log regenerated chunks. There is a small risk this could erase an island portion if the player built over the super-flat area. To use add "recoversuperflat: true" to the general: section in config.yml and restart the server. When done set to false and restart the server.
4. Improved biome panel and biome descriptions to allow for color codes and new lines in descriptions.

Bugs fixes

1. Fixed an edge-case bug where an admin has changed the island height and a player did not have a nether island, and the player creates a nether portal at a point far away from the island center: then it could repeatedly regenerate nether islands when the player goes to the nether.
2. Fixed clash on 1.9 servers with PlotSquared and player files to be stored in the ASkyBlock world folder.
3. Database used for name to UUID look ups could become corrupted and the library used is not maintained any more. Switched to simple flat file.

Improvements

1. Portalling to the Nether will teleport players close to their central island point if they have no portal in the nether.
2. Stop lava fire spread if fire spread is disabled.
3. Changes to permission checking to improve compatibility with older permission plugins for island.maxhomes, team.maxsize & island.range.
4. Changed name>UUID database to flat file.

2. Potions in challenges have better interpretation of their settings. If a potion value is not included now, it is assumed that any value is acceptable. For example, if the requirement is for a Fire Protection potion only, then it can be any level, strength, standard, splash or linger. This should ease challenge design. If admins want to be specific, they can be.
3. Visitors with Frost Walker enchantment can only freeze water on islands if place blocks setting is allowed.
4. Option to prevent pushing added to config.yml (this is in beta). Pushing is a default game mechanic in V1.9. If admins want to prevent it, it can be done but only globally (on all worlds). The setting is in the general section of config.yml.

V3.0.0.2
We're still working through the changes from V1.9...

Bug fixes:

• [Major] Potion brewing was not working with V1.9.
• [Major] Island deletion was causing excessive lag on some servers, so it was reworked to reduce that.

Upgrading from V3.0.x

1. If upgrading from pre-3.0.x versions, just follow the 3.0.0 instructions.
2. Stop server
3. Replace previous jar with this jar
4. Start the server, you should be done!

V3.0.0.1
Bug fix release:

• [Minorish] Prices for spawn eggs and potions were not being shown in the mini-shop.

Upgrading from V3.0.0

1. If upgrading from pre-3.0.0 versions, just follow the 3.0.0 instructions.
2. Stop server
3. Replace previous jar with this jar
4. Start the server, you should be done!

V3.0.0
This release supports servers V1.7.9 through to V1.9.

1.9 brings in new features and functions and it may be possible for players to find new ways to cheat, or unforeseen bugs may exist. Please report them and I'll do my best to fix them.

Key V1.9 changes that affect admins

• Biomes have changed and there are fewer of them. The default biomes in the ASkyBlock schematics are now COLD_BEACH and FOREST instead of COLD_TAIGA and FLOWER_FOREST and the cold biome in the biome command is "Cold Beach".
• Potions - they can not longer be defined by a number, e.g., POTION:8123, they have to be described by name. Note that the default chest formatting for potions has changed to reflect this. See the config.yml file for instructions.
• Spawn eggs - these too must now be named, e.g. MONSTER_EGGIG.
• Herochat: This plugin works only with V5.7.0 and later of the HeroChat because they changed the API. Note that Herochat has bugs still.

Upgrading

1. Stop server and make backups of your world and ASkyBlock plugin folder just in case.
2. Replace previous jar with this jar
3. (Optional for V1.9 servers) If you have any custom schematics, then you should recreate them and save them using the latest WorldEdit that enables V1.9 items otherwise potions will be just water bottles.
4. Remove the old config.new.yml because a new one will be created.
5. In the minishop, spawn eggs must now be described in the extra line by name, not number. So change the pig egg number 90, to PIG. Alternatively, delete minishop.yml and let it be recreated.
6. Remove challenges.yml because a new one will be created. Or change your MONSTER_EGG definitions to be named instead of numbered.
7. Locale.yml has been updated with a few strings, so move it or delete it.
8. Restart the server
9. Look at the new config.new.yml and merge in changes to your config.yml. The revisions arehere. Note that the default chest formatting for potions has changed. Read the instructions in the file. You should be good to go!

New features

• Compatibility with V1.9 servers
• Added protection for daylight sensor setting from visitors
• Added ability to make acid bottles and buckets not be acid and not kill you if you drink water bottles.
• Added eggs to protection against breeding by visitors.
• Changed warp sign name search algorithm to give preference to warps that are exact matches.
• Added Admin command to reset all island protection settings to default. /asadmin settingsreset confirm
• Improved API - added mini shop events,

Bug Fixes

• [Minor] Fixed bug where if a player does not have permission to use the control panel, but the control panel is active, then they cannot use /island command.
• [Minor] Fix for long standing bug where the initial welcome sign always faced North in schematics.

V3.0.0.7
Read 3.0.0.x release notes below.

Upgrading from V3.0.x

1. If upgrading from pre-3.0.x versions, follow the 3.0.0 instructions otherwise:
2. Stop server
3. Back up world and plugin folder just in case.
4. Replace previous jar with this jar
5. Start the server.

Bug Fixes

1. [Major] Island level report was being shown to players at login if calculate level on login was enabled.
2. [Major] Team max size was still not being set correctly if player had team.* permission.
3. [Minor] Biomes in greenhouses was being reset.

Features

1. Added askyblock.island.multiplier.X permission where X will multiply the island level. Will only work when player with permission is online. All players in a team must have this permission, otherwise the level will change depending on who does it.

V3.0.0.6
Warning! - this update could change your player's island levels substantially if you used block limits for leaves, wood, logs, etc. Read the bug fixes for details.

Bug Fixes

1. [Major] Fixed very old bug where island level calculation was not taking into account block limits properly in blockvalues.yml for blocks with variations, like wood or leaves. *Note that as limits are now fixed, some islands could lose a substantial number of levels if you had limits on wood, logs or leaves and the players built up their levels using those.* If you just used the default blockvalues.yml file, then you should see no change.
2. [Major] Players with askyblock.island.* or askyblock.island.team.*, etc. permissions were receiving maximum island protection range, max homes and max team members.
3. [Medium] Schematics with spawners made with latest WE (using 1.9 format) were causing errors during loading.
4. [Minor] Fixes placement of 1.9 boats on islands.

Improvements

1. Added console-only island level detailed report command (asadmin level [playername]) that provides extensive detail on an island's blocks and scoring. See http://pastebin.com/Nu157ri3for an example.
2. Added an auto-description to minishop items if it is not in the config file.
3. Added a recovery mode to remove super-flat chunks if they exist. They can crop up if the plugin generator is blocked for some reason (e.g. bug in Multiverse) or the plugin isn't run and chunks are loaded in the world. This checks for bedrock at y=0 and if it exists, it will regenerate the chunk. Console will log regenerated chunks. There is a small risk this could erase an island portion if the player built over the super-flat area. To use add "recoversuperflat: true" to the general: section in config.yml and restart the server. When done set to false and restart the server.
4. Improved biome panel and biome descriptions to allow for color codes and new lines in descriptions.

2. Stop server
3. Back up world and plugin folder just in case.

1. If upgrading from pre-3.0.x versions, just follow the 3.0.0 instructions otherwise:
2. Stop server
3. Replace previous jar with this jar
4. Start the server, you should be done!

Bugs fixes

1. Fixed an edge-case bug where an admin has changed the island height and a player did not have a nether island, and the player creates a nether portal at a point far away from the island center: then it could repeatedly regenerate nether islands when the player goes to the nether.
2. Fixed clash on 1.9 servers with PlotSquared and player files to be stored in the ASkyBlock world folder.
3. Database used for name to UUID look ups could become corrupted and the library used is not maintained any more. Switched to simple flat file.

Improvements

1. Portalling to the Nether will teleport players close to their central island point if they have no portal in the nether.
2. Stop lava fire spread if fire spread is disabled.
3. Changes to permission checking to improve compatibility with older permission plugins for island.maxhomes, team.maxsize & island.range.
4. Changed name>UUID database to flat file.
