Release 1.25.1

What's new

This is a bug-fix release.

• Miner minions can mine the magic block again. Breaking the magic block with a JetsMinions Miner minion threw a NullPointerException and left the block gone until it was manually restored with /ob respawnblock. The minion break path no longer runs the player-only magic-block protection check that caused the crash, so the block cycles and respawns as expected. This regression had been present since 1.22.0. Fixes #525.
• my_island_* placeholders fixed for visiting team members. When a player who belongs to a team visited another island, the my_island_* placeholders resolved to the visited island's team data instead of the player's own island. They now always resolve to the player's own island.

Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.15.0+
✔️ Minecraft 1.21.5 or later
✔️ Java 21

Upgrading

1. Stop the server. Make a backup just in case.
2. Copy this jar over the old one.
3. Restart the server.
4. You should be good to go!

What's Changed

Full Changelog: 1.25.0...1.25.1

Release 1.25.0

What's new

• Populated bee nest in Plenty. The Plenty phase already drops honey blocks, honeycomb blocks, and honey bottles, but never a hive to farm them from. Plenty now spawns a bee_nest (3 bees inside, honey_level=0) at the same density as the other honey items, closing the honey-farming gap.
• Magic block client-side resync after mob rolls. When the magic block rolled a mob, the server cancelled the break event but never told the client — leaving the block looking transparent until the next chunk resync (typically on relog). The block state is now resent to the mining player immediately after the cancel.
• CraftEngine startup-order fix. AOneBlock's onEnable runs before CraftEngine has populated its block registry, which previously caused a flood of false Bad custom block errors for every valid type: craftengine entry. CraftEngineCustomBlock.fromMap() no longer consults the registry when the YAML explicitly declares type: craftengine; runtime placement still validates the ID gracefully.
• Stricter CraftEngine block-ID validation at config load. Blank IDs and IDs missing the namespace:key form are now rejected at config-load time instead of silently accepted and failing at placement.
• Configurable chest particles no longer crash on non-DUST types. Particle types whose data type is non-Void (e.g. ITEM, BLOCK, ENTITY_EFFECT) used to throw IllegalArgumentException because no particle data was being constructed. They are now detected, logged as a warning, and skipped. DUST and void-data particles (e.g. FLAME) work unchanged.

Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.15.0+
✔️ Minecraft 1.21.5 or later
✔️ Java 21

Upgrading

1. Stop the server. Make a backup just in case.
2. Copy this jar over the old one.
3. (Optional) Remove the phases folder so it can be regenerated. If you have customized your phases, don't do this. Just see the new entry and add it if you want.
4. Restart the server.
5. You should be good to go!

What's Changed

• Fix false "Bad custom block" errors for CraftEngine blocks on startup by @Copilot in #511
• feat: drop populated bee nest in Plenty phase by @tastybento in #513
• fix: resync magic block to client after entity-spawn cancel by @tastybento in #514
• fix: skip chest particles that require typed data instead of crashing by @tastybento in #516
• fix: validate CraftEngine block ID format in fromMap at config-load time by @Copilot in #517

Full Changelog: 1.24.0...1.25.0

Release 1.24.0

What's new

• 🔺 CraftEngine custom block support. Phases can now spawn CraftEngine blocks alongside the existing ItemsAdder and Nexo integrations. Refactored to delegate to BentoBox's new CraftEngineHook, so AOneBlock no longer tracks CraftEngine's API directly — this requires BentoBox 3.15.0 or later.
• ⚙️ Configurable chest particles per rarity. The particle type and color shown above UNCOMMON/RARE/EPIC chests are now fully configurable in config.yml under world.chest-particles. Set a particle to NONE to disable that rarity.
• CHEST_WITH_X fixed-block notation. Phase YAML fixedBlocks now accept entries like CHEST_WITH_WATER_BUCKET, which place a chest pre-filled with that item. Used to give Plains players a guaranteed water bucket as the last block before the Underground transition.
• Plains phase starter sequence updated. The first six blocks are now a deterministic grass + oak log sequence so new players always get logs before stone, and the test sponge entry has been replaced with the water-bucket chest above.
• ⚙️ OBSIDIAN_SCOOPING now off by default. Holding a bucket no longer instantly scoops obsidian magic blocks on fresh installs. Existing servers with the flag explicitly set are unaffected.
• 🔡 Placeholder defaults for islandless players. %aoneblock_my_island_phase%, %aoneblock_my_island_count%, and %aoneblock_my_island_percent_done% now return sensible defaults (Unknown, 0, 0%) instead of empty strings when the player has no island. New locale key aoneblock.placeholders.my-island-phase-default.
• 🔡 Missing actionbar/placeholder translations added across all locales.
• Documentation overhaul for MythicMobs, ItemsAdder, and Nexo custom block configuration in the README, including a start-commands workaround for MythicMobs skill issues.
• Code-quality sweep: 36 SonarCloud MEDIUM issues addressed, S2637 nullability warnings resolved, JaCoCo coverage now reports to SonarCloud, modrinth-publish action pinned to commit SHA.

Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.15.0+
✔️ Minecraft 1.21.5 or later
✔️ Java 21

Changelog

Legend

• 🔡 locale files may need to be regenerated or updated.
• ⚙️ config options have been removed, renamed, or added.
• 🔺 special attention needed.

Upgrading

1. Stop the server. Make a backup just in case.
2. Update BentoBox to 3.15.0 or later first — this release will not load against older BentoBox versions.
3. Copy this jar over the old one.
4. Restart the server.
5. (Optional) Review config.yml for the new world.chest-particles block if you want to customise chest particle effects.
6. (Optional) If you relied on the previous OBSIDIAN_SCOOPING: true default, re-add it explicitly.
7. You should be good to go!

🔺 BentoBox 3.15.0 required. The CraftEngine refactor depends on CraftEngineHook introduced in BentoBox 3.15.0. Older BentoBox versions will fail to load this addon.

⚙️ Config note: Fresh installs get six new keys under world.chest-particles and OBSIDIAN_SCOOPING: false. Existing config files keep their current values — copy the new section in if you want to use the configurable particles.
