HuskTowns 3.0 - API changes, bug fixes

Please note, as announced on Discord, starting with this release support for Minecraft 1.16 and Java 16 has been dropped. HuskTowns now requires Java 17 / Minecraft 1.17.1 as a minimum.

HuskTowns 3.0 is a major version release that makes breaking changes to the developer API. Please make sure your plugins that depend on HuskTowns have been updated to support HuskTowns API v3 — for developers, this should be quite easy, but it is a breaking change nonetheless. A few other bug fixes and locale updates have been made for this release, requiring a locale file regneration.

• Improved the way config files are loaded. Config validation on startup will now be more strict.
• Added Korean (ko-kr) locales, courtesy of awrwag
• Updated the Simplified Chinese (zh-cn) locales, courtesy of @jhqwqmc (#392)
• Updated the Spanish (es-es) locales, courtesy of @pipearaneda
• Fixed a bug that meant servers using a MySQL/MariaDB database that encountered a startup problem involving the loading of town data would not properly terminate plugin initialization.
• Fixed a bug where issues with the serialization of Map objects in Towns would not be correctly handled were a duplicate key to be inserted into them
• API: API v2 (and the original deprecated API v1) have been removed.
  • The way the HuskTowns API is published has been changed: APIs are now published per-platform; husktowns-bukkit and husktowns-common can now be targeted.
  • Simply update your build scripts to target the net.william278.husktowns:husktowns-bukkit artifact
  • HuskTownsAPI is no longer an abstract class; you can now retrieve an instance of the base class with HuskTownsAPI.getInstance()
  • HuskTowns now uses ClopLib
    • The built-in Operation.Type is now OperationType.
    • Operation and OperationType now live in the net.william278.husktowns.libraries.cloplib package.
    • This is the same system in use on my other plugin, HuskClaims.
  • Added API methods for getting a player's Privilege.
  • Fully documented the API (at last!).

To update from v2.6.x, just drag+drop and regenerate your locales file (messages-xx-xx). You should not need to touch your other config files unless they are very outdated (regenerate it if so!)

HuskTowns 2.6.1 - Bug fixes, 1.20.4

HuskTowns 2.6.1 fixes bugs introduced in the last release (particularly with the War module), and updates compatibility with 1.20.4.

• Fixed an exception generating map hook chunk highlights for towns with UTF-8 names (#375)
• Fixed bucket fill and empty operation handlers checking against the wrong event Block, letting users place fluids on claim edges (#383)

• Fixed war win-check logic being inverse when determining who won a war by alive members (#379)
• Fixed a NullPointerException being thrown when trying to modify the relations map of a town migrated from <2.6 due to the migrator not instantiating a new Map.

HuskTowns 2.6 - Relations, Wars, Quality-of-Life & More!

Note: To upgrade to this release from v2.5.x and earlier, please regenerate your config.yml and messages-xx-xx.yml files. If you haven't modified them from the previous default, you should also regenerate rules.yml and roles.yml; otherwise, don't forget to add the new wartime rules / action privileges to their respective files!

HuskTowns 2.6 is a major release of HuskTowns adding Town Relations (ON by default), Town Wars (OFF by default), and several useful quality-of-life features for both players and admins. It also fixes a number of bugs, adds a new API event, and updates locales.

• Added Town Relations (#334)
  • Towns can now mark other towns as an "ally" or "enemy" to manage a list of relations
  • Command for managing relations is /town relations [list (town)|set <ally|neutral|enemy> <other_town>]
  • The MANAGE_RELATIONS privilege (default role: Trustee) is required to manage town relations.
  • This system can be turned off in config.yml. It is ON by default.
• Added Town Wars. This feature is currently experimental and a work-in-progress — please send in your feedback! (#334)
  • Allows towns which have marked each other as an "enemy" to go to war
  • Command for managing war is /town war <accept|declare|surrender|view>
  • This system can be turned on in config.yml. It is OFF by default, and requires town relations to also be ON.
  • A town can declare war on another town, and specify a wager; the victor of the war will have the wager added to their coffers
  • War declarations work cross-server, but the war battle itself will take place on the server the defending town's spawn is set.
  • The DECLARE_WAR privilege (default role: Mayor) is required to send or accept declarations of war.
  • When a war declaration is accepted, the town that declared war will be teleported. All members of the defending town will be teleported to their spawn.
  • Participants in a war are removed from the war if they are killed (or otherwise die) and if they leave a configurable radius of the defending town's spawn.
  • During a war, special war flags apply on the defending town's claims. You can customize these flags depending on your particular flavor of chaos — allow full destruction, or lock down to just allowing PvP!
  • A town loses a war if they no longer have any online war participants. If three hours elapse or if the server restarts, the war will be declared a stalemate (both towns will lose their wager if this occurs). Towns can also surrender a war with /town war surrender.
  • The status of a war is displayed in the Boss Bar (which will display the remaining war participants to defeat) as well as in the war overview menu /town war (which will show a text-based graphic bar indicating the current balance of an active war)
  • A town cannot declare war again for another 48 hours (this cooldown is configurable)
• Added a new admin command for managing town balances: /admintown balance
  • Lets admins set, add, or remove money from the coffers of towns
• Add town points as fallback currency for servers without Vault (#342)
  • If Vault is not installed/detected, the currency used for towns will be an integer-based "Town Points" (example format: 100pts)
  • Town points can be added to towns with /admintown balance (add|remove|set)
  • Town points can also be earned as part of advancement rewards
  • This lets servers not using an economy use HuskTowns standalone and award points to towns through other means, to allow towns to level up
• Town members can now self-claim vacant plots (#369)
  • To do so, members can simply stand in a vacant town plot and type /town plot claim
  • This will add them to the plot as a manager
  • Requires the CLAIM_PLOT privilege (default role: Member)
• The /town census menu will now show if a member is online
  • Online members will appear green in the census list, and you can hover to view their online status
  • This also works on cross-server setups; Redis is recommended for this feature in particular!
• The plugin will now automatically create a backup of the SQLite database on startup (#368)
• Updated the Simplified Chinese (zh-cn) locales, courtesy of @MSCMDD (#345, #370)
• Fixed the plugin not restricting interactions when a player was holding an item that had been deactivated (e.g. Ender Pearls on cooldown, Shields disabled with an axe attack) (#351)
• Fixed no message being displayed when attempting to level-up a town when the town had already reached the max level.
• API: Added a PostTownCreateEvent, to let you handle when a town has been created. (#336)
• API: Fixed the user involved in the MemberJoinEvent, MemberLeaveEvent, MemberRoleChangeEvent and MemberRoleChangeEvent, courtesy of @thomasz05

To update, drag+drop and regenerate your config files. You should regenerate your config.yml and messages-xx-xx.yml files. If you haven't modified them from the previous default, you should also regenerate rules.yml and roles.yml; otherwise, don't forget to add the new wartime rules / action privileges to their respective files!

Thank you, and enjoy!
