MC Plugin Residence [1.7.10 up to 1.21] 6.0.1.8

Per player area protection plugin, excellent for survival servers

• Quick improvement on economy detection which now has auto mode and will prioritize Vault economy system and if possible will utilize more direct approach for support economy plugins

• Fix for an issue when rapidly reselecting area
• Fix for an issue when selecting huge areas which resulted in broken output message

• Added check when equipping items to animals on 1.21+ servers (CatTeaA)
• Fix for an issue when selling residence and balance check was done on residence owner and not the buyer which prevented residences being sold if owner didn't had required amount. This didn't cause any issues with money transfer in particular, it only denied some of the transactions
• Fix potential NPE from mod-added mobs on NeoForge servers (CatTeaA)
• Additional fix for modded servers when it comes to entity handling (killerprojecte)
• Fixed bypassing water/lava placement at Residence edges by interacting with waterlogged blocks while sneaking (CatTeaA)
• Iceform no longer overrides snowtrail (CatTeaA)
• Fix for an issue where player could enter residence while riding a horse on Folia type servers
• Fix for residence remaining marked as main one when its being removed causing some inconsistencies of players having main residence which no longer exists
• New placeholders
  • %residence_ownername_[resName]% - prints defined residence owner name
  • %residence_user_main_name% - prints users main residence name
  • %residence_user_main_owner% - prints users main residence owner name, which could be different incase residence is being rented
• Fix for WorldEdit and FastAsyncWorldEdit plugins not working for residence saves and restoration. Now it will save up to 3 files for each residence if backup flag is set, it still restores the last recorded one, but will allow for some fallbacks to older versions if something went wrong or you simply want older version
• Added two new commands for simpler schematics handling /res save (resName) and /res restore (resName), while restore command will list all save files you can choose from to be restored from for that particular residence. These commands are not accessible for regular players and should not be given access too, its only for staff members who knows what they are doing. So now you can make quick residence backups for future restoration if needed.

• Fix for an issue where player state changed by special flags, like glow or move speed, was not updated properly on player quit event
• Update for player location check to happen on more regular intervals, this is to avoid issues where player gets relocated without appropriate events being triggered and things like glow or speed doesn't get removed. This is primarily to resolve issue with Folia type servers which doesn't fire teleport event when player is teleported causing some inconsistencies.

• Fix 1.20.6 Res Dispenser inside Bone_Meal, HopperCrosseRes Check Flags.container (CatTeaA)
• Fix Vehicle Inventory bypass protection bug (CatTeaA)

• Preventing enderman teleportation into residence area with nomobs flag enabled
• NPE fix for info command when player name is not known

• Now you can enable option to create first residence for free when using auto or create command allowing for new player first residence being free if he placed a chest or created residence manually
• Some changes for grouped flags handling. Now when using commands like /res pset and providing grouped flag name it will no longer pick provided state, it will enforce one provided in flags.yml file, which means that now you can properly enforce flag states you want it to set instead of it being a loose cannon. It defaults to true if not defined, but you can set flags to false or remove. As example
  - use-remove
  - tp-false
  - chat-true
  which will set flag states to the ones you defined, allowing you to have grouped flags which removes set flags or disables their access which allows you to have flag like untrusted which disables movement inside residence, disables door usage, disabled teleportation and so on.
• Added option to ignore flag access requirement for grouped flags, so now you can have grouped flag which triggers disabled flag and sets it to specific state without player actually having ability to modify that specific flag with set or pset commands
• Added support for BlueMap plugin
• Some rework relating all 3 web map based plugins, DynMap, Pl3xMap and BlueMap. Now their config section is centralized and shared amongst all of them. Color codes have been changed to accept alpha values, so you can use hex color codes like {#33cc3340} where first 6 indicate color value and last 2 indicate its alpha value. You can use something like https://rgbcolorpicker.com/ to generate full RGBA hex color code. Added extra color for server land identification. Please update CMILib for full color alpha channel support
• Fix for safe teleportation not informing player about potentially dangerous destination

• Fix for an error message due to listener being registered on a minecraft version which doesn't have it (CatTeaA)
• Fix for residence cleanup action being performed by chunk area and not exactly by residence one which could have resulted in extra blocks being replaced with air
• Updated expand and contract command handling
• Residence expansion limit per each command got increased from 100 to more or less unlimited

• Fix for default flags having disabled state when it should not have been, causing some confusion after initial setup
• Added option to hide residences from Dynmap and Pl3xMap by players name
• Now in case shooter block, for example disperser, is located inside the same residence damaged entity is, then this action will be allowed. This fixes an issue where arrows shoot from dispensers could not have damaged armorstands or item frames

Make a backup before transitioning to this version or test things out on your server cloned version. While things were tested extensively there might still be edge cases where things will not work out as they should have.

This version is quite a big rework on how plugin handle things internally, mainly removal of all methods dealing with players by their names and moving to full UUID only approach. Quite few methods got deprecated, some got removed, while most addons should still work, it would be strongly recommended for those to get update and utilize new handling

Introduction of per player data save files which will contain players name as a basic information, which will be populated with more of it after player joins server. This will allow us to have more features in the future and will allow more control over offline players. There will be one time full offline player data read on server startup which will read player data and record their names and UUID's to be used in the future, so first startup might be slightly longer. While this process is not strictly mandatory for plugin to work and recognize ownerships of residences, would still recommend to allow it to finish its scanning just to have best match between player names and UUID's, especially if you had set offline type mode for residence plugin previously.
That said, there is no longer option to choose offline mode for residence plugin, its now by default based on players UUID's and not names, while you might still see some user names being recorded without UUID in data files, those are there only because we had no means in determining real UUID. Additionally to note, in case we can't determine players actual UUID and we only know his name, then temporary UUID starting with ffffffff- will be created which should be automatically replaced at the moment we recognize that player by name and we have actual UUID, this can happen if offline player data loads player by that name on first startup, if player himself logs into game or there is record of residence owner by that name with associated UUID in save files.
Fresh installs will skip all of this process.

Actual residence save file structure doesn't change, for now, so it should remain backwards compatible in case you will need to move back to the older version
