Changelog

All notable changes to Plots. Dates are in UTC. The docs always describe the current release.

1.2.1

• plots.auto and plots.untrust are enforced. Both were documented but never checked: /plot auto asked only for the base plots node, and /plot untrust checked plots.trust. The node each one relied on still grants it — plots.claim for /plot auto, plots.trust for /plot untrust — so an upgrading server keeps the access it already granted.
• A denied command now names the node that is missing, and points out that plots is required by every /plot command on top of the specific node. The old message was a bare "you don't have permission", which left admins guessing (#2).

1.2.0

The biggest release since launch: Plots now runs more than one plot world, ships a full in-game menu and HUD, and moves its protection onto the shared TaleGuard bridge.

Multi-world

• Run several plot worlds side by side, each with its own grid, plot/road sizes and terrain — no longer a single PlotWorldName. See Multi-World.
• Create and browse worlds from the admin panel (Worlds tab), or with /plot worlds.
• A first-run setup nudge walks a fresh server through creating its first plot world instead of leaving you on an empty void.

In-game UI

• A plot menu covering the everyday actions — claim, trust, flags, warps, rename, delete — so players don't have to memorise commands.
• A plot HUD showing where you are and who owns it.
• New help page, weather picker, worlds browser and result popups, all reachable from the menu.

Plots & players

• Per-plot warps, plus a public warps browser and /plot warps.
• Per-plot spawn point — /plot setspawn, and /plot spawn to return to it.
• Offline transfer: plots can be transferred to a player who has ever joined, not just one who is online right now.

Commands

• Tab-completion on /plot arguments — subcommands, flag names and values now suggest as you type.
• An unknown subcommand gives you a short, targeted correction instead of dumping the whole help text.

Protection

• Protection mixins now come from the shared TaleGuard bridge, consumed at runtime through the hook registry. Plots keeps a pure-ECS fallback, so it still protects without TaleGuard installed — flags that genuinely need the bridge (such as explosions) are hidden when it is absent rather than silently doing nothing.

Integrations

• PlaceholderAPI expansion — expose plot ownership and counts in scoreboards, tab lists and chat. See PlaceholderAPI.

What's new popup

• Admins get the release notes in-game once per version, three seconds after joining; /plot changelog re-opens them on demand.

Polish

• /plot help now opens Hytale's own command UI, so it stays in sync with the subcommands instead of drifting from a hand-written page.
• The menu's Merge and Danger tabs are one Plot tab, and the nav rail no longer leaves a column of dead space.
• List rows, pagination bars and footer buttons line up: the widget templates force their own heights, so rows are sized to match instead of guessing.
• Spanish and Russian are complete — they were missing every menu string and showed raw keys such as ui.menu.nav.trust.

Under the hood

• Ported to the current Hytale server build (org.joml vectors and the new world/entity APIs).
• Package renamed from com.overworldlabs.plots to dev.stoshe.plots. Plugins compiled against the 1.1.x API must update their imports — see API Usage.

Upgrading from 1.1.x

The world layout is now described per world instead of by a single top-level PlotWorldName. Back up config.json and your plot data before the first 1.2.0 start, and read Multi-World for what the new shape looks like.

1.1.3

• Spanish (es_es) and Russian (ru_ru) translation bundles.
• Economy bypass permission node plots.economy.bypass, honoured by claim, auto, merge and unmerge without weakening the admin protections.
• BuilderTools protection extended to scripted brushes and extrude — the two flows 1.1.1 could not cover.
• Permission checks centralized through a single helper, so native server permissions and LuckPerms-backed setups behave identically.
• Economy provider lookup now retries at runtime, so an economy plugin that initializes after Plots is still detected.
• Root alias /p, alongside /plot, /plots and /plotme.

1.1.2

• Aliases /plot f, /plot link and /plot unlink for flag, merge and unmerge.
• Consistent usage and error formatting across every subcommand, plus a root dispatcher that answers an invalid subcommand with usage and the subcommand list.
• Fixed a world-thread safety issue in /plot flag (component access from the wrong thread).
• Fixed null-safety edge cases in argument normalization, UUID handling, and trust/untrust target resolution.
• Improved Hylograms API compatibility handling to avoid runtime class errors.

1.1.1

• Public API (PlotsAPI): query plots, check ownership and trusted players, and listen to claim, unclaim, trust, untrust and rename events. See Developer API.
• BuilderTools protection for the tool-operation path — Paint, Box, Sphere, Cylinder, Replace, Set and the rest.
• Fixed Hylograms detection to resolve through the plugin manager under the correct ehko:Hylograms identifier, declared as an optional dependency.

1.1.0

• Hylograms integration — plot information displayed in-world at the corner of a claimed plot.
• Update checker — admins are told on join when a newer release is available on GitHub.
• Java 25 toolchain.
• Fixed a permission validation bug that blocked non-OP players from using commands.

1.0.0

Initial release — grid plot worlds with prefab-driven generation, the claim/trust/flag/merge workflow, and the protection and masking layer.
