Plugins FactionsUUID 4.2.4 [MC 1.21.8-1.21.9]

• Disallows sign editing without permission (tied to item use)
• Resolves f perms saving issue
• Better WG support for custom world heights
• Last release supporting some older MC versions.

Big oopsie on the modern claim tracking, causing a bug when doing unclaimall. That's all. Important fix, upgrade ASAP.

Fixes location tracking issues, where an offline player could be hard to kick.

Summary: There will be releases supporting 1.8.8 and releases supporting recent (currently 1.20.4+). Changes in this release listed at the bottom of the post. Take a backup of faction data before updating - a one-way conversion of data happens on launch.

After more than half a year of notice, FactionsUUID is dropping support for a lot of versions that are largely unused (with good reason). The version bump is to mark the support change - it shouldn't break plugin support.

This...

FactionsUUID will soon be making the following big changes, first announced many months ago:

• Supporting modern MC (currently aiming 1.20.4+, but might shift even further forward depending on when the next release is published) with specific legacy support for 1.8.8 only (aimed at the folks running maintained 1.8.8 forks)
• Moving to Java 17 for 1.8.8 and Java 21 for 1.20.4+. Start testing your plugins now! Let me know if you need help fixing one!

Anyway, here's the...

Please check out #factions-features on our Discord to help me with some decision-making on future features. In particular, note the discussion about faction upgrades.

Changes

• Added raidability announcements.
  • Disabled by default, located in the landRaidControl section of the config.
  • Can be sent to all players or only enemy factions (and the faction that becomes raidable, of course).
• The no-loss WG flag now protects DTR as well. Accidentally only was protecting power before.
• Thank you to KevinEssence for help in suggesting and testing these changes.

• Added a config option (in map section) for the color of 'self' on /f map and sidebar map.
• Added ability to show warps on dynmap (default disabled, see dynmap.conf).
• Enabled use of faction and general placeholders on dynmap description.
  • Also added recruit and coleader to the %-based stuff, for consistency.

• Introduce warmup exemption perm node `factions.warmup.exempt`
• Add PlaceholderAPI placeholder `%factionsuuid_faction_internal_id%` for getting internal ID via papi
• Made it easier to write custom commands, removing `TL` requirement
• Fix some issues when running geyser

Small update to ensure clickable and hoverable text still behaves on the new release of MC.

That's all. Just removing some unnecessary console output accidentally kept in from debugging the new features of the last update.
