[2.0.0] - 2026-03-04

Added

  • Plot Middle Command: Added /plot middle to teleport to the center of the current plot or merged plot group.
  • Per-World Plot Limits: Added support for plots.limit.<worldname>.N permission limits.
  • Placeholder Expansion: Optional WiFlow PlaceholderAPI expansion BetterPlots-expansion for placeholder support.
  • Documentation Refresh: Updated docs to reflect the full feature set.
  • Command Suite Expansion: Added setup, setspawn, reset, flag, merge, unmerge, ban, transfer, reload, template, buy, sell, and unsell commands.
  • Template-First Worldgen: Worldgen now uses templates as the source of truth with classic and bridge presets.
  • Template Management: Save, load, list, and delete plot templates from in-world bounds.
  • Economy Integration: Claim costs, plot selling, and buying with economy provider support.
  • Database Storage: Optional database-backed storage with migrations for plots and worlds.
  • Plot Event Coverage: Expanded public events across plot lifecycle, flags, transfers, and world create/delete.
  • Enter/Leave Tracking: Plot entry notifications and tracking system added.
  • BuilderTools Protection: Extended BuilderTools protections to selection tools and bedrock safety.
  • Merged Plot Identity: Merged plots now resolve to a single name, hologram, and radar marker.
  • Hologram Provider Fallback: BetterHolo is preferred, with Hylograms support when BetterHolo is not installed.

Changed

  • Setup Syntax: /plot setup now requires explicit arguments and uses /plot setup <template> <worldname>.
  • Home/Visit Scope: /plot home and /plot visit now resolve numbered targets across known plot worlds.
  • Economy Source: Economy settings are config-only and no longer template-driven.
  • Command Help: /plot now shows a tip and /plot help lists commands with descriptions.
  • Per-Command Guidance: Missing arguments now show targeted usage for each command.
  • Flags: Flag list shows colored enabled/disabled statuses and defaults to disabled unless set.
  • Templates: Economy settings now come only from config.json (templates no longer override economy).
  • Built-in Templates: Removed void and bridge presets; classic and modern remain.
  • Documentation: Added BetterDocs link and clarified PlaceholderAPI expansion install guidance.
  • Plot Limits: Limits are now permission-only via plots.limit.N (or plots.* for unlimited).

Fixed

  • Merge Argument Parsing: /plot merge all and /p merge all now parse and execute reliably.
  • Plot Flyover Titles: Enter/leave title notifications now display correctly in known plot worlds.
  • Claim Limits Across Worlds: Player plot counting now applies correctly across multiple plot worlds.
  • Merge Intersection Wall: 2x2 merges no longer leave a wall at the center intersection.
  • Merge Wall Alignment: Merge-time wall placement now aligns cleanly across plot edges.
  • Unmerge Road Walls: Unmerge now clears road walls so only plot borders remain.
  • Unmerge Road Surfaces: Roads and intersections reset to template surfaces after splitting plots.
  • Prefab Connections: Preserve corner and shape variants for stairs, iron bars, fences, and similar blocks during prefab save/load.
  • Prefab Saves: Load missing chunks during prefab capture to prevent skipped blocks.
  • Economy: Restored claim charges and buy/sell flows with VaultUnlocked.
  • Commands: Re-enabled /plot buy, /plot sell, and /plot unsell registration.
  • Plot Home Default: /plot home now targets your first plot when no target is supplied.
  • Build Flag Owner Bypass: Build flag now restricts non-owners only.
  • Merged Hologram Placement: Merged plots now show a single corner hologram.
  • Unclaim/Unmerge Walls: Outer plot walls and corner blocks are restored around cleared plots.
  • Merged Unclaim Behavior: Unclaiming any plot within a merged group now unclaims and resets the entire group; roads and intersections are restored around the cleared area.
  • Road Prefab Scope: Prevented road prefab placement on still-merged plots; finalized by switching to group-unclaim behavior for consistency.
  • Intersection Placement: Intersections now render correctly when roads are restored around the cleared group.
  • Hologram Placement: Aligned hologram Y to plot surface height to prevent blocks from being removed underneath.
  • Hylograms Optional Dependency: Declared Hylograms as an optional dependency for proper plugin detection.
