Make a backup before transitioning to this version or test things out on your server cloned version. While things were tested extensively there might still be edge cases where things will not work out as they should have.

This version is quite a big rework on how plugin handle things internally, mainly removal of all methods dealing with players by their names and moving to full UUID only approach. Quite few methods got deprecated, some got removed, while most addons should still work, it would be strongly recommended for those to get update and utilize new handling

Introduction of per player data save files which will contain players name as a basic information, which will be populated with more of it after player joins server. This will allow us to have more features in the future and will allow more control over offline players. There will be one time full offline player data read on server startup which will read player data and record their names and UUID's to be used in the future, so first startup might be slightly longer. While this process is not strictly mandatory for plugin to work and recognize ownerships of residences, would still recommend to allow it to finish its scanning just to have best match between player names and UUID's, especially if you had set offline type mode for residence plugin previously.
That said, there is no longer option to choose offline mode for residence plugin, its now by default based on players UUID's and not names, while you might still see some user names being recorded without UUID in data files, those are there only because we had no means in determining real UUID. Additionally to note, in case we can't determine players actual UUID and we only know his name, then temporary UUID starting with ffffffff- will be created which should be automatically replaced at the moment we recognize that player by name and we have actual UUID, this can happen if offline player data loads player by that name on first startup, if player himself logs into game or there is record of residence owner by that name with associated UUID in save files.
Fresh installs will skip all of this process.

Actual residence save file structure doesn't change, for now, so it should remain backwards compatible in case you will need to move back to the older version

Maven support is finally here, how to setup it you can find information on Github

• TNT ignition is being prevented if you don't have permission for it
• Fix for Lead removal by shears not being prevented, you might still see visual bug on client side where entity no longer have attached lead, but its there, this is just a client side visual bug
• Removing Iconomy and RealEconomy support due to those being extra outdated and no longer maintained
  
• Removal of 6.x WorldEdit and WorldGuard support
• Removal of BPermissions plugin support. LuckPerms all the way!
  
• Removal of no longer working metrics and shifting to bStats
• Fix for auto selection not working as it should have
• Removed pvpoverride flag/option as it was causing issues
• Fix for ravager being able to break some of the blocks inside residence with block destruction disabled
• Fix for vehicle destruction, now its based on vehicledestroy flag
• Small change relating to player being kicked outside residence in case he can't move in one, now if players previous location is in another world then in that case we will try to use defined kicklocation which will help out to prevent from players being teleported to the worlds they should not be in, like temporary event worlds
• Fix for an error when custom exploding entities are present in your server
• Fix for elytra client side visual bug due to disabled elytra flag
• Fix for some of the entities being knocked back inside residences by some of the effects
• Fix for wooden buttons and pressure plates being triggered by arrows, tridents or dropped items (CatTeaA)
• Fix for an error on Folia servers when teleporting player to another world in some specific conditions
• Now in most cases arrows will not be removed when you shoot at protected entities, but those will simply bounce away (CatTeaA)

Attention! From this version residence save files will be split into multiple ones, this mainly separates messages and flags which gets created by new saving mechanic. Why we need this? Well, with recent changes yaml file sizes got limited to 3MB max, this can create an issue if you have older server with more residences. With this new version there will be 2 additional files for each world with saved flags and messages. You can always go back by simply merging those files or changing option in config file for saveFileSplit from true to false while server is still running which will save files in old format. But if you have 1.19.2+ server its strongly recommended to keep that option enabled with NewSaveMechanic.
More robust solution will come later on with posible sqlite database saving mechanics.

• Fix for issue with /resreload command while providing extra variables
• Updated Chinese language (kqakqakqa)

Please update CMILib

• Updated ChineseTW language (flandretw)
  
• Fix for issue relating to portal creation in older server versions
• Fix for issue where you were able to empty bucket on residence edge
• Fix for residence creation issue where error message appears about you not having enough money even tho you have exactly as much as it would be needed
• Complex placeholder fix, this is for %residence_user_current_flag_[flagName]%
• Fix for error message when internally we cant determine players name from players object. usually caused by custom NPC plugin creating fake players without all necessary information.
• Improvement on nomobs flag which will not prevent mob spawning in that area on top of regular cleanups from it
• Added option to click on a list of nearby residences to automatically show their information
• Now residences which have hidden flag will not show up in nearby residence list, unless player uses resadmin command
• Now checking residence information your flags will be placed at the first place, so your most important data will be first to be shown instead of being somewhere in the player list. This on itself means that we have no need for personal color, which got removed from locale file
• Some rework for res info output relating to player flags. Now if there are more than 5 player names to be shown, we will only show first 5 while adding extra information about remaining amount of players with hover over option to see their names. This will resolve some of the issue and clutter when you have quite few players in your residence with personal flags set to them. On top of this, having this list shorter will result in issue where message would become to long for server to even handle it properly.
• Now clicking on new additional text near player flags "and 28 others" will redirect you to new window with all players listed with their flags on side. This will allow you to have as many player records as you want without adding additional clutter while still having ability to check every player and their flag access. This can be accessed manually if needed by using /res info [resName] -players command
• Clicking on any of the lines in new player flag window will automatically open pset GUI where you can adjust players flags. Just small convenient thing to have.
• Added option to define max capacity for residence bank. By default its disabled, but you can always set it to whatever value you want and limit stored money in each residence.
• Centralized flag set GUI auto pagination part which now is taken and used from CMILib for consistency sake
• Centralized general auto pagination across entire plugin relating to chat messages to be taken from CMILib.
• Dryup flag fix for older servers sometimes causing stackoverflow error
• Fix for turtle egg being destroyed by players without destroy flag access
• Added option to define area around residence where players can claim land. This defaults to 16 blocks, can be changed to anything you want in config file or disabled to have old behavior. While having this active player wont be able to create "touching" residences. Special exclusion is for players who try to create new residence near their own residence, in this case we will allow to create touching residences.

Update CMILib if you want this plugin to run on 1.18 other than this no special update is really needed.

• Internal update to have better support for increase world height with 1.18 servers
• Added tabcomplete for /res tool command
• /res auto command fix derping out with different world heights
• Fix for nether portal creation error

• Fixing issue where owner of residence could have been "lost" in case you run plugin in offline mode (this is deprecated by now and should be switched to online mode)
• Now player permission limits should be updated more often when performing some actions, like /res auto or /res create just to have up to date players limits
• Improved detection for expanded worlds, this is mainly for 1.17 servers which decided to use data pack to go down to -62 and up to 320 blocks. You will NEED to update CMIlib or atleast have one of the latest builds for this to work properly.
• Added correct protection for putting fish into buckets in area which is protected by animalkill flag, yes flag isint that obvious but its close enough to this action.
• Improved /res rt which now is fully async and should be better friends with paper type servers and its forks while reducing load on server drastically
• Fixed issue with you being able to teleport into residence with enderpearl while not having move flag in it. You should not be allowed to do that even tho we have separate flag to prevent enderpearl teleportation, but if you already have no move permission then no point in allowing you to go there.
• Fix for shulkers not being recognized as mobs and mobkilling flag not preventing damage dealt to them

And once more, please update CMILib to the latest build.

Even tho there isint anything terribly new feature wise with this major version increase, this is mainly to indicate that as of 5.x version Residence plugin will require CMILib1.0.2.0 to function. This is to centralize most used things across multiple plugins. And due to this transition plugin size went down from 1.2MB to 926KB. You will need to have atleast 1.0.2.0 version to run new Residence plugin without experiencing issues.
Keep in mind that this is initial release and some small issues could appear, especially relating to 1.17 servers.

• Fix for player inventory not updating after canceled hanging item event which could have made it look like you lost and item.
• Added support for glowing itemframes for 1.17 servers
• New flag as "copper" which allows copper manipulations, like applying wax or using axe on them. Keep in mind that by default we keep vanilla behavior, so residence without set copper false flag will behave in same way as it was in wilderness and allow players to manipulate copper blocks, but at same time, due to how those blocks gets processed player not only need to have copper flag but place one too. So even tho we are keeping default behavior, without place and copper flag you cant really manipulate them. So double security.
• Fixing issue with invalid save files
• Added few extra tabcompletes for some missing commands
• One more adjustment/fix relating to /res auto command. This one give me headaches.

• Cleaned up NMS classes which resulted in their removal. What this mean? Well, it means that plugin now is more resistant to version changes and should have atleast minimal functionality when updating to new minecraft version. Keep in mind that special update will still be needed, but atleast plugin should keep working when transitioning to new, like 1.17, minecraft version without need to wait until new version is out.
• Dropped support fort BOSEconomy plugin
• Dropped Iconomy5 support. We still support Iconomy6
• Dropped LuckPerms4 support. Still supporting LuckPerms5
• Dropped support for some legacy permission plugins
• Now we will allow teleportation to residence with residence.admin.tp
  
• Fix for cuboidArea selection visualization in case world is not known or was unloaded
  
• New flag: elytra. Can block its usage in residence area. By default nothing will happen and regular behavior will be applied
  
• Small adjustment for /res create command tabcomplete
  
• Option to define /res auto min and max values. This allows to define resulted residence when performing /res auto command which will ether use defined percentage value or will pick value in between defined min and max ones. This allows you to limit how big residence needs to be created when player have access to mega residence area but you might not want to create one straight away and limit it to like 50% of players limits. Player can always expand it later if needed with regular commands
  
• Added better support for LWC plugin to prevent player from locking chests if player doesn't have container flag.
• Small fix for anchor flag check being fired twice
• Now anchor flag will take into consideration if player has res admin toggled on

Plugin size dropped by 48KB. This is for the preparations for Maven support so other plugin developers can have simpler way to integrate residence plugin in theirs. One of the reasons why I had to drop some of the old plugin supports, to simplify process.

Disclaimer. This is not fully tested version and it got some major rework on permission handling, so use it if you are brave enough to do so.

• Fix for keepinv flag and newest 1.14.4 spigot version
• Fix for lingering potion throwing error in 1.13.2 servers
• Removed resbank command as we already have bank command.
• Huge change to all bypass permission format. You can check all permission at https://github.com/Zrips/Residence/wiki/Permissions but in general now flag bypass permission format is as residence.bypass.[flagName/featureName] before it was backwards and in some cases we had something like residence.flag.command.bypass but now its residence.bypass.command so update your permission nodes if you have been using them before for your staff members
• Now on plugin load we will print out how many residences we loaded for each world.
• Fixed /res select auto command
• Updated wiki page for commands, permissions and flags, so have a look, maybe you will find something you dint know to exist before.

This build is mainly for testing purposes. As there was (again) some changes how materials are been handled, there could be some minor issues i'm skipped by. So if you will find any issues, please report at github isue tracker https://github.com/Zrips/Residence/issues/new

• Initial update to support 1.14 servers
• Fix for small issue when error appears when plugin tries to get players selection area and he did not selected 2 points.
• Fix for tool command showing selection tool as info tool
  
• Now when you enter residence bounds will be shown for brief time. This can be disabled in config file. Just some convenient thing to have and could be used to show that you have entered residence without actually printing out chat message informing that. This will only work when you are entering main residence zone
• Fix for config file not recognizing custom particles and always defaulting to default ones
• Residence signs should not properly update new owner when it was changed with give command.
• Improved performance for residence sign updates which should fix some issues people could have if they have hundreds or even thousands of signs setup.

• Fix for tab complete not working properly when you only have /res as base command
• Fix for missing default command color code for some commands
• Removed config.yml file from inside of plugin itself as we dont need it anymore. config.yml always been generated by hard coded stuff and not by using some outdated file. So now default config file will have correct material names instead of outdated ID's which could make it look confusing when we shifted to new system as of 1.13 update.
• Some typo's fix in config file comment sections
• Fix for trident duplication bug while using it in residence with nodurability flag
• Moved lwc removal algorithm from async to sync, for time being, as it was causing some issues.
• Fix for minecart hoppers not working if they are not on tracks
• You will no longer get money back from server land claims when removing them.
• Now when removing residence, money back feature will send money to residence owner instead of player/console which removed it.
• Some fixes related to help page missing default colors and showing white text
• Now /res give command requires confirmation by clicking on chat message
• Fix for duplicated message being sent to chat box when teleporting into residence area.
• Optimized blockbreakevent which made it twice as fast as it was before. This will have some performance boost in other areas too, but mainly this event gets most benefits.
• Fix for fly bug related to residence with fly flag and giving it out to some one.
• Some extra changes to work more properly with 3rd party chat plugins and correctly translate {residence} variable
• Some fixes related to same {residence} variable when it would not be translated if player doesn't have residence. Not it will replace it with empty space. Should we have custom value for it?
• Fixes related to issue when determining players main residence when he doesn't have set one and you give it out or sold and you still have it as your main residence.
• Centralized enter/leave/move deny messages. So now you have one option in config file where you can choose where you want to show those messages. Which has 3 options: ActionBar, TitleBar, ChatBox. Keep in mind that 1.7.10 server (its time to update?) will only use chatbox. While move deny can only have actionbar or chatbox, but in case you picked titlebar, then move deny message will appear into action bar.
• Added hard limit to /res select shift to 100 blocks to avoid posible issues when shifting selection to insane amounts.

Checked like 150 github reports and went down to 16 in last 3 days... Was... painful... But in any case, if you found some issues, fell free to report them. Include coffee in that report.

• Now /res auto should take provided max value instead of always using max group size
• Fix for issue when failing to determine worldedit selection tool as of 7.x update which changed format from Integer to material name

• Fix for FAWE issue with its nevest version made for 1.13+ servers
• Fix for issue with 1.13+ servers when checking blocks to perform residence cleanup and chunk is unloaded.
• Added couple multiverse type plugins as softdepend which should some of the issues people are having
• Fix for /res shop list throwing error if residence was recently deleted
• Fix for 1.13+ servers (och that nasty 1.13 version) related to land dry event
• Added option to define default flags when player rents residence. before this point it would only add Admin flag which by itself allows to change flags, but its not so convenient. For this to take full effect you might need to perform 2 full server restarts, first one will generate some of the needed things for it to work and second one would catch those values.
• And some general fixes related to WorldEdit changing its API with nevest 7.x version.

Happy Mining!

• Some library updates for better support when recognizing items and to be more up to date with other my plugins libraries (at some point we will have to move to external library file to simplify things)
• Fix for exploit when players would place chests near residence edge to force and connect chest into double one which would allow to take items out of it.
• Small fix for WorldEdit and NPE error (WorldGuard fix should come out soon too)
• Some fixes related to tellraw messages and some changes in 1.13 which doesn't like older text formats.
• Fix for tab complete error issue
• Fix for different money format for money charged and money added locale lines

• New permission node for previous feature residence.bypass.ignoreyinsubzone
• Fix for wither being removed on initial explosion event
• Fix for item frames being removed by boats
• Added IgnoreBy configuration option for selection visualizer. This will create moving particle effect. Similar to SelectionVisualizer plugin. So you can have less particles being drawn in one update event but in overall you can get better looking effect like

• Added option to bypass random tp delay with permission node residence.randomtp.delaybypass
• Now money should appear in formatted way, like 10.00€
• Now residence bank value will be in decimal format not only in full numbers.
• Fix for itemdrop and itempickup ignoring direct player flags and looking only at residence flags.
• Now moneyback feature will return money depending by all areas not only by main one as before. This will return more accurate amount of money.
• Now minecart spawning is protected by build flag.

P.S. Working on some rework for residence save to drastically minimize time needed for saving and minimize chance for data corruption and lay foundation for possible MYSQL/SqLite integration

• Some fixes related to mirror option in groups file by hector-romero
• Fix related to fly issue and residenceChangeEvent not including old residence if they are near each other.
• Added option to define name increment when using /res auto to include _[number] after name if there is already residence with that name. Checks up to 50 possible increments, after which it will just output that residence with that name already exists, but I don't think we need more than that.
• Some fix for async residence saving and concurrent HashMap modifications
• Small fix for riding and container checks on entities in residence. This includes llamas and donkeys.
• Small fix for sign NPE error
• ./res check command will now gonna check for valid flag and will inform about that instead of simply saying that his flag does not apply to player
• Now tab complete should exclude players you can't see.
• Included donkey to an animal group as of 1.11 version it's separate from horse. Ask Mojang why this change.
• Fixed issue with flaming arrows not igniting animals in residence. How they can be ignited if you or residence has animallkilling flag set to true.
  

Any new feature suggestions are always welcome ^.^

• Fix for issue with /res auto
• Fix for issue when performing /res listall from console
• Added command /res lease list to print list of all leases for that residence. Include end dates and owner name if you are owner of main residence.

• Added option to display enter/leave messages in title bar or subtitle. Enable this in the config file and set your messages like this: &eWelcome!%subtitle%&eTo My House! subtitle is optional

• You will find new option in config file called NewSaveMechanic, by default its false. When enabled worlds save file will be compressed with some simple algorithm. Its will be harder to read and edit it directly, but it has couple benefits to have it in new format.
  • File size will get smaller, can be from 50% to like 30% or less. More residences you will have, bigger savings will be. From my testing file with 43 000 residences went down from 44.2MB to only 14.5MB. No data loss.
  • Faster load times: from 10.7 to 4.2sec (43k residences)
  • Faster save times: from 8.7 to 3 sec (43k residences)
• You can always disable this and use old saving format if you wish so.

If you have issues or suggestions, please leave them at https://github.com/Zrips/Residence/issues/new

• Fix for /res sublist is not being performed from console
• Additional protection from players being stuck in mid air when falling into residence with move false flag, now it should teleport outside residence (or at kick location if safe location is not found) after 5 bounces. Works only when falling down, so it will not effect when moving into residence from side.
