- Fixed crucial bug that sometimes caused island claims to lose their owners.

Hey,

After countless reports about issues with my island protection implementation with last versions, I've decided to completely replace the old island protection and trusting system with GriefPrevention plugin integration. This way things are a lot more clean on the development side and the island protection is free of loopholes and bugs. The plugin can still be used without GriefPrevention, but all the protection features will be disabled.

How does it work?
To enable island protection, GriefPrevention plugin must be installed on the server. After updating islands, the plugin tries to create claims to all existing islands with their respective owners. These claims are admin claims and the island owners have build and managment rights. This results players being unable to delete these claims by hand and also makes sure that players don't need claimblocks to create and protect islands. The islands plugin also handles the deletion and transferring of these claims for players.

Players should still be able to use /trust or /containertrust on their island to trust their friends. Islands plugin shouldn't also interfere with any other claims than the island claims in islands world. By default the plugin overwrites GriefPrevention world mode settings for islands and wilderness worlds.

I'll update the wiki shortly, you can find more information there. Also, before updating it would probably be a good idea to make a backup of your server.

Cheers!

Update: Due to how Spigot works, GriefPrevention is required on all servers. If you don't want to use gp, check out this wiki page for more information.

First Release

A lot has changed under the hood. In this release I've tried to optimise the plugin in many ways and also patch as much bugs I can find. This release also brings some new features, including custom island shapes, block replacement on island generation, more configurable island sizes, saving islands as schematics with in-game command and some other minor conveniences. I've also tried to make the project more consistent both internally and externally. This means some changes to config.yml too. But most importantly I have created Wiki, that aims to explain every detail of the plugin (hopefully clearly too).

Also I have changed /island regenerate command to /island recreate (due to some planned changes). This change also affects permissions for that command, so make sure you update your permissions. For full list of permissions, check out the wiki.

Changes to config.yml

(=aka. how to update)

Easiest way to update the configuration is to remove just remove config.yml and replace it with example config from here. This way you will get all the changes I've made to recommended defaults and also get updated comments that explain the file. However, if you want to go through the file manually, just change the following things:

- generation.searchArea -> generation.biomeSearchArea
- generation.islandSpacing -> generation.islandGridSpacing
- generation.islandVerticalSpacing -> generation.islandGridVerticalSpacing

Changes to islands.yml

Islands have now their height defined in islands.yml. This is necessary for saving schematic correctly because the height might not be the same as island width, if the island is using a custom shape. If island is not using a shape, island "height" should be same as "size".

Changelog

- Island shapes
- Configurable block replacement
- Ability to add or remove island sizes
- Saving islands as schematic files
- Wiki
- Changes to permissions: Added new permissions and changed some permissions. Redesigned the permissions under the hood (they work as you'd expect now, also check Wiki). Permission groups (islands.* etc) are also now recognised. I'd recommend you to check all the new permissions and commands in Wiki.
- Bug fixes and other small general changes

3.2.1: Optimized biome generation and made it 800% faster.
Added wildernessCoordinateMultiplier
- Player's x and z coordinates gets multiplied with this value when they jump to wilderness.

Adjusted player messages
Adjusted title messages to be more friendly with wide screens.

3.1.1: Implemented biome blacklisting
- Some biomes just don't work as an island. Now you can add them to a blacklist to prevent generation of those biomes and speed up biome generation on startup.

Fixed bug with visiting gui
Fixed bugs with subcommands

3.0.0: Island visiting GUI

• Can be used to visit other public islands
• Paging system
• Sorting by name / date
• Shows island name, owner and biome as a block

Bug fixes

Changes to islands.yml
Each island now has biome variable that defines its biome. If biome variable is missing, island appears as dirt in visiting GUI.

READ ME BEFORE UPDATING

2.0.0: Islands are now placed in a square shape, that expands in 2 directions like in the example below.

0 3 8
1 2 7
4 5 6

Because of this, old island configuration might be incompatible with the new version. Newly generated islands might overwrite old islands, so you will have to take backups and restore the islands afterwards. No further changes to placement are planned.

You might lose islands that are generated far from center of the world on update.

Also changes have been made to islands.yml configuration file. islands section has been removed, so "islandId" (0x0, 2x3 etc) sections should not have a parent anymore. If they do, you will run into errors.

Notes:
Moved IslanGrid -> ../IslandLayout and organized the class

1.3.3:
Bug fixes: Fixed issue with vault dependency. Its optional now.
/islands command without arguments now shows islands version.
