Release 2.4.0

This release is for the latest versions of Minecraft, and also brings in experimental support for Multipaper, a fork of Paper that enables multiple servers to run the same worlds. If you plan on using Multipaper, join our Discord server and let us know because addons will also need to be adjusted and it'll be good to know which ones to do.

Other new features:

• BentoBox no longer loads all islands into RAM so for servers with a lot of islands, the memory footprint should be lower. As players join, their islands will be cached until the next server reboot, so plan to do that every so often.
• Purging of islands now includes team islands - it didn't before.
• NPC's can now hit players and won't be prevented by PVP rules.
• Updates to Chinese language files.
• Added %[gamemode]_visited_island_rank% placeholder.
• New flag - handle tamed animals by @TreemanKing

Compatibility

✔️ Minecraft 1.21, 1.20.6, earlier versions maybe.

Full Changelog: 2.3.0...2.4.0

Release 2.3.0

This release fixes a major bug where mobs were not being pasted from blueprints (MythicMobs were, but hey, not normal mobs!) and also adds some new features:

• Team members can now have multiple islands too - it's a setting in BentoBox config.yml if you wish to enable it.
• Blueprints can now be given a max-usage setting. This is only enabled when players are allowed to make multiple island. So, for example, it's possible to limit players to only one of each type of island. There is also an option to hide any island blueprints if they have been used up. Don't forget that permissions can also be used to hide or show island blueprint options.

• All the team will be shown in the GUI, along with Trusted and Coop members.
