ChunkBlock 1.1.1

A patch release that stops a rank message nagging teammates on every click, gives islands something to aim for beyond the next chunk, and fixes a flag ID that quietly collided with AOneBlock.

Highlights

• 🐛 Teammates are no longer nagged on every click — a member below the claim rank was told Your rank cannot claim chunks for this island! every time they opened a chest, pressed a button or mined a block. The rank check ran before anything had established that the click was a claim gesture at all, so every left or right click in the world reached the denial branch. It was throttled to once every two seconds, never cancelled the event and never logged, which is why the chest still opened and nothing showed in console. Rank is now checked only after a locked chunk is genuinely targeted, so the message appears when it was always meant to — when a teammate really does aim at the border. [PR #27]
• 🔺 🔡 ⚙️ The Magic Block Protection flag ID no longer collides with AOneBlock — both addons registered a flag called MAGIC_BLOCK, and BentoBox's flags manager drops the second registration of an ID and returns false without logging. With both gamemodes installed, whichever loaded second was quietly running on the other addon's flag definition. The ID is now CHUNKBLOCK_MAGIC_BLOCK, and the addon logs a warning when the flags manager refuses any flag rather than failing silently. Fixes #24 [PR #25]
• ⚙️ 🔡 Closing a whole ring of chunks is now a milestone — claiming has only ever paid out per chunk, which rewards running one arm of chunks straight out to the border. Completing the full square around the centre now earns a message, a celebration across the whole ring, and any console commands an admin configures under chunkblock.rings. Rings are earned once per island: re-locking a ring on level loss and claiming it straight back pays nothing. Adds the RingCompleteEvent API (cancellable), a rings line on /ch chunks, and the island_rings_complete placeholder. Part of #3 [PR #22]
• 🔡 Phase text understands MiniMessage and hex colours — holograms were deserialized with a legacy &-only serializer, so <green><bold> came out as literal text and &#RRGGBB did nothing. Holograms and the action bar now both accept MiniMessage, & and § codes, hex, gradients, and any mixture. This also fixes § codes rendering as literal text in anything that came from a locale file. Existing & codes keep working unchanged. Ported from AOneBlock#551 [PR #20]
• 🔡 The territory map lines up — chat's default font is proportional, so how far a row of /ch chunks reached across the screen depended on which chunks happened to be claimed. Map rows now render in minecraft:uniform, Minecraft's built-in fixed-width font, so the grid comes out square. The centre chunk and your own position are marked too. [PR #23]
• 🌐 Traditional Chinese caught up — zh-TW.yml gained the chunk-claiming and phase-editor keys added in 1.1.0, with terminology revised for the Taiwanese Minecraft community. Thanks to @qwe664 for their first contribution. [PR #26]

🔺 Magic Block Protection settings will reset. Island flag settings are stored under the flag ID, so any island that changed Magic Block Protection away from the default reverts to COOP_RANK under the new CHUNKBLOCK_MAGIC_BLOCK ID. The old MAGIC_BLOCK entry becomes an orphan in the island data. Ask affected islands to re-apply the setting, and re-set default-island-flags in config.yml if you had customised it. This is the same one-off cost as the CHUNKBLOCK_BOSSBAR / CHUNKBLOCK_ACTIONBAR / CHUNKBLOCK_START_SAFETY renames in 1.0.1 — this flag was missed in that pass.

⚙️ Config note: default-island-flags renames MAGIC_BLOCK: 200 to CHUNKBLOCK_MAGIC_BLOCK: 200, and a new chunkblock.rings section adds broadcast (default false), commands and player-commands (both empty lists). Existing config files gain the new keys with defaults on first load; the old MAGIC_BLOCK line is left behind and can be deleted by hand. Rewarding island levels for a completed ring is not advised — levels buy chunks, so each ring would pay for the next one.

🔡 Locale note: protection.flags.MAGIC_BLOCK is renamed to protection.flags.CHUNKBLOCK_MAGIC_BLOCK in all 18 locale files, so existing translations follow the rename rather than being orphaned. New keys chunkblock.chunks.ring-complete, .ring-broadcast and .rings, and the map legend gained centre and player markers. zh-TW is now up to date through 1.1.0; every non-English locale, that one included, still shows the raw key for 1.1.1's new ring keys and the old two-symbol map legend until translated. Regenerate or update customised locale files.

Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.22.0+ ✔️ Minecraft 1.21+ ✔️ Java 21

Upgrading

1. Take backups of your server, for safety.
2. Stop the server.
3. Replace the ChunkBlock jar in plugins/BentoBox/addons/ and delete the old one.
4. Start the server.
5. In config.yml, delete the orphaned MAGIC_BLOCK: 200 line under default-island-flags and set CHUNKBLOCK_MAGIC_BLOCK to the rank you want, if you had customised it.
6. Ask islands that had customised Magic Block Protection to re-apply it in the island settings GUI.
7. Optionally fill in chunkblock.rings.commands / player-commands to reward ring milestones, and set broadcast: true if you want them announced server-wide.
8. If you customised your locale files, rename protection.flags.MAGIC_BLOCK and add the new keys above.
