What's new
MailboxGUI 4.2.0
MailboxGUI 4.2.0 is a quality-of-life and polish update focused on better player onboarding, safer upgrades, cleaner economy handling, improved admin tools, and updated language support.
Highlights
- Added
/mailbox guideand/mb guideto help players understand personal mailboxes, public Post Office boxes, Post Office NPCs, and how to get started. - Added
/mailbox checkand/mb checkto show new unchecked mail counts without opening the inbox. - Improved Vault/economy detection so money and COD options are hidden from GUIs when unavailable.
- Added configurable money display formatting for money mail, admin money mail, COD prices, and COD return payments.
- Improved COD fail-safes so COD mail stays safely dormant if Vault/economy is unavailable and becomes usable again when support returns.
- Updated default mailbox sign wording for clearer personal mailbox and public Post Office access signs.
- Added legacy sign compatibility and automatic handling for old default sign formats.
- Added
/mailbox admin convert currentand/mba convert currentto show the active storage mode. - Simplified storage conversion to
/mailbox admin convert <YAML|SQLITE|MYSQL>and/mba convert <YAML|SQLITE|MYSQL>. - Added
/mailbox admin cleanand/mba cleanto safely clean MailboxGUI-generated backup files after confirming upgraded data is working. - Improved backup organization under
plugins/MailboxGUI/data/backups/. - Improved Citizens Post Office NPC cleanup when NPCs are removed.
- Updated bundled language files and language upgrade handling for 4.2.0.
Economy & Non-Economy Improvements
- MailboxGUI now adapts more cleanly when Vault or an economy plugin is not installed.
- Servers without economy support still get letters, packages, mailbox access, public Post Office boxes, and Post Office NPC support.
- Money mail and COD options are hidden when unavailable instead of showing unusable GUI buttons.
- COD packages stay dormant when economy support is missing and resume when Vault/economy is restored.
Storage & Upgrade Safety
- Existing legacy YAML installs remain on YAML unless manually converted.
- Older mail data is upgraded safely without requiring a mail wipe.
- Storage conversion validates the target storage before switching.
- MySQL conversion/startup safety remains protected by connection/login/table validation.
- Generated backups are better organized and can be cleaned after confirming the upgrade is working.
Notes
- Vault and a compatible economy plugin are required only for money mail and COD package payments.
- Citizens, Dynmap, and PlaceholderAPI remain optional hooks.
