IMPORTANT:

It is HIGHLY recommended to backup your entire GriefDefender plugin config folder before proceeding with update as all user configs will be migrated to YAML and all lang files will be migrated to JSON. If you prefer to stick with HOCON then open jar and change yaml to hocon in config_format.txt.

MC 1.20.6 Support

This release add support for servers running MC 1.20.6.

New User Config Formats

GriefDefender now supports JSON, HOCON, and YAML. The default is changing from HOCON to YAML with this release. All user configurations will be automatically migrated from hocon to YAML on first server boot. All old configs will have a '.bak' extension.

Note: If you want to change this default to JSON or HOCON before launching server, open the jar and change yaml to hocon or json in config_format.txt. If server has already launched, you can edit this file in the config folder.


Language Format

All language files will now be using JSON instead of HOCON. On first server boot, GriefDefender will automatically migrate all lang files it detects. Old lang files will have the '.bak' extension.


Unclaimable Block Radius

All user claims will now have a 1 block protected radius from being claimed. In other words, users will not be able to claim around a 1 block radius of non-owned claims unless they are trusted. The new setting is labeled 'unclaimable-block-radius' and can be found in global.conf

* Add support for MC 1.20.6

  Note: All existing lang files will be automatically migrated to new JSON format.

Note: All temporary settings can be found in new temporary-settings section of global.conf. Some of these settings will be moved to LP meta in a future release. This feature is disabled by default and must be enabled in config.

IMPORTANT:

Note: New servers may skip this section.

Backup LP/GD before updating to 2.5.0+ as there are a few big changes.

Existing servers must complete the following before updating to 2.5.0+

GD 2.5.0+ requires the following changes for GD groups in LP :

Code:

1. LP's default(NOT GD) parent groups should be only `griefdefender_option` and `griefdefender_override`
2. Remove parent groups from `griefdefender_trust_<type>` groups
3. Adjust `griefdefender_trust_<type>` group weights as such
- `griefdefender_trust_manager` should have -70 weight
- `griefdefender_trust_builder` should have -71 weight
- `griefdefender_trust_container` should have -72 weight
- `griefdefender_trust_accessor` should have -73 weight
- `griefdefender_trust_resident` should have -74 weight
4. Set 'luckperms-playerdata' to true in migrator section of global.conf.
Note: If you do not see this setting, simply add it manually and set to true.
5. Add new lang entry 'label-expiration=Expiration' or wipe lang folder to regenerate clean.

Note: GD lookup priority is as follows : griefdefender_override -> claim -> claimgroup -> definition -> griefdefender_default.



Campfire Temporary Claims

GD now provides a new experimental feature for creating temporary claims using campfires. Temporary claims will expire when configured amount of days have passed since creation date. It does NOT use owner inactivity. By default, right-clicking on campfires will allow a player to create a temporary 3x3 chunk claim (configurable) . These temporary claims will have the following settings/limitations :

• Configurable block used for temporary claim. (Default is campfire)
• Configurable chunk radius used on creation.
• Configurable expiration time in days.
• Configurable creation limit.
• Cannot be resized.
• Required chunk area must be available on creation.

Note: By default, GD will use campfires for its temporary claim feature. However, you may change campfires to any other vanilla/modded block by changing the 'claim-block-id' identifier in temporary section of global config.
Note: By default, this feature is disabled. To enable, set 'use-temporary-claims' to true.



PlayerData Storage

In previous GD versions, voting plugins would have random issues running GD bonus commands against players. With GD 2.5.0, all playerdata accrued/bonus block data is now stored back with GD. If running an existing server with GD, make sure to follow migration steps above or in README.
