TDRules 1.2.0 — Changes Since 1.1.0

Added

• Added full rule-book reading verification. Players must now view every page of the Patchouli rule book before they can confirm and accept the rules.
• Added a visible page-progress counter to the acceptance screen.
• Added a dedicated close button to the Patchouli rule book.
• Reading completion is stored per player and rule version, so completed progress survives reconnects.
• The server rejects acceptance attempts until reading completion for the current rule version has been recorded.
• Added a confirmed full starter-kit reissue option for online players to the admin interface. This requires permission level 3, warns about possible duplicate items, and does not alter the original one-time kit record.

Improved

• German and English chat and system messages now use Minecraft’s translation system, allowing each client to render messages in its selected language.
• Improved reporting and auditing for manual starter-kit reissues, including partial deliveries, overflow items, disconnects, and loot-table errors.
• Improved the administration screen layout so password controls remain inside the panel.
• NeoForge compatibility metadata is now derived from the configured build version, keeping the packaged requirement consistent. TDRules supports NeoForge 21.1.248 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.1.
• Simplified command, configuration, networking, book-delivery, and audit implementations without changing their intended behavior.

Updated Rules

• Create trains may no longer travel through the Nether.
• Nether train routes and portal connections intended for Create trains may not be built or used.
• The Wither and other dangerous mobs may only be summoned or deliberately spawned in the Farmwelt.
• Existing restrictions on dangerous events near spawn, public facilities, and other players’ property remain in effect.

Upgrade Notes

• Install the same TDRules 1.2.0 JAR on the server and every client.
• Fully restart the server and all clients after replacing the JAR. /reload is not sufficient.
• The rule acceptance version remains 1. Updating from 1.1.0 therefore does not automatically force players who already accepted version 1 to accept it again.
• Players who still need to accept the rules must complete the new full-book reading requirement.
