AdminPlus

Admin+ v2.6.4

Requires Beta APIs — world settings ▸ Game ▸ Experiments ▸ Beta APIs. With it off the addon does nothing and says nothing.

If Admin+ stopped working after the last Minecraft update, this is the fix

The symptom is a strange one and easy to misread: the pack is still in the world, still listed, still ticked — and nothing happens. No /admin, no chat formatting, no ranks. It looks broken rather than switched off.

That is what happens when an addon asks the game for a specific beta version of the scripting API. Beta versions belong to a particular Minecraft build, and when the game updates the old one stops being handed out. The pack then fails to load its scripts at all, silently, while everything else about it looks fine.

Admin+ was asking for one of those. It now asks for whatever the current beta is, so a Minecraft update moves it along instead of stranding it.

Nothing else about the addon changed for this. If it was working for you before, it keeps working; if it had gone quiet, it should come back.

Also in this build

The Permissions screen under Ranks ▸ a rank has been reorganised — fewer switches, grouped in plainer words, ordered from what everyone gets down to the things that can hand your server away. It is still being worked on, so it is not the headline here.

One change in it is worth knowing before you update, because it can surprise you:

⚠ Vanilla commands now need a switch. Ranks ▸ the rank ▸ Permissions ▸ Server settings ▸ commands decides who may use /a:give, /a:effect and the rest. Owner, Manager and Developer already have it through their wildcards. A Mod who was using those commands will need it turned on.

The upside is that it replaced fifty-five separate switches — one per vanilla command — that were on by default and that nobody had ever touched.
