Description

Ahoy! The super-groovy BentoBox 1.5.0 lands from the sky, bringing down a lot of exciting new stuff such as long-awaited User Experience improvements, for your BentoBox server to become top-notch!

This update has been more than two months in the making (250+ commits, +5k lines of code), and we’re proud to finally release it. BentoBox 1.5.0 brings in state-of-the-art features that make it a truly unique and exciting release: new GUIs (gooeys), better placeholders, Blueprints, Island creation panel... To learn more about all those crazy things, just keep reading this changelog!

This is a big release - probably the biggest we've ever made - and the only one of its kind. This implies you must take backups upon updating. We've worked on some "converters" to ensure backward-compatibility, but it's still possible that something may go wrong.

Which versions are compatible with this release?

1.13 and 1.13.1 are no longer compatible with BentoBox 1.5.0, yet 1.13.2 still is and remains an officially compatible server version.

In regards to 1.14+, 1.14.2 is the only version that we're officially supporting, and also the only one you should be using due to the various fixes Mojang put in it.

Update instructions

  1. TAKE BACKUPS.
  2. 1.14 enforces all lowercase names for worlds. We recommend everyone to rename the world folders to lowercase and update all the configs accordingly. Note: some addons' data might need to be adapted as well (Challenges, Biomes, ...).
  3. 1.14 also enforces a denial of the teleportation to nether/end worlds if allow-nether and allow-end are set to false in the server properties. Set them to true if that's not already the case. Note: as of this version, it should be possible to set one of BentoBox's worlds as the default world for your server, as well as setting BentoBox as the generator for these worlds in bukkit.yml.
  4. YAML databases have been deprecated. While they may still work fine, some addons might encounter issues. We highly recommend you to migrate your database type to JSON. More information can be found in the config comments and on this video. Note: MYSQL, MARIADB and MONGODB databases are not affected by that.

Schems are dead, long live the Blueprints!

For more detailed information about Blueprints, please read Blueprints.

Existing Schems will be converted into the Blueprint format upon loading 1.5.0 for the first time. Yet, take backups in case something goes wrong!

Goeeys (GUIs)

Graphical User Interfaces make the overall game feel more enjoyable and look nicer.

BentoBox Management Panel

The BentoBox Management Panel can be opened with /bentobox manage. It gives you an overview of your BentoBox setup: installed addons and plugins, enabled hooks, server compatibility and more (to come)!

Catalog

The Catalog takes advantage of our GitHub Link. It will be further improved in the future, but it already grants you with the ability to see what the official addons and gamemodes are! It can be opened with /bentobox catalog or via the BentoBox Management Panel.

Island Creation Panel

The Island Creation Panel is a long-awaited feature, and here it comes! It shows up to players when they execute the create or reset command.

Blueprint Bundle Manager

With Blueprints comes the Blueprint Bundle Manager! You can open it using the /[admin command] blueprint. Blueprint Bundles are what your players will see in the Island Creation Panel.

Placeholders

Placeholders underwent a big overhaul in this update. We improved their format, added 18 more placeholders and added support for MVdWPlaceholderAPI!

Better placeholders

We improved how placeholders are handled. Check out the Wiki to see their new and better format!

Use external placeholders inside BentoBox

It is now possible to put placeholders from external plugins in our localizations! I don't really know how it could be used, but hey!, it's supported! 😛

Localization

Localizations play a major role in the ability for BentoBox to be used and understood by worldwide users and communities. Just like every update, we're adding new texts into BentoBox, yet those are often not translated to the existing locales - as neither of us at BentoBoxWorld speak these languages. However, for this update, we received the help of kind members from our community, who helped us translating BentoBox into a few more languages!

If you want to help us translating BentoBox and addons too, please join our Discord server.

We will continue to improve the locales over the next versions - we've received quite a lot of feature requests that will definitely make them better once implemented!

🇫🇷 Le jeu à la française

La traduction française arrive, mais elle est encore incomplète. Si un cher compatriote au fromage et à la baguette veut m'assister dans cette tâche, qu'il se manifeste sur le Discord !

🇪🇸 Entretenimiento con los colores de España

Sí! Thanks to @SrAcosta, we've got a nice Spanish translation for BentoBox.

🇱🇻 Nedaudz jautrība latviski

Thanks to @BONNe, we've now got a nice and fresh Latvian translation for BentoBox as well!

🇮🇹 An Italian translation too!

Thanks to @jummes, we've also got an Italian translation for BentoBox.

Translators, here's a tool to help you!

We created the /bbox locale command. This very spammy command will help you to know which translations are missing from your locale file so that you can get a better overview of what's left to do.

Conversion: from out of fashion to state-of-the-art
