Spawn Elytra - like in Craft Attack

🚀 SpawnElytra v2.6.0 - Custom Areas & Flight Timer Update

🎯 Major Changes

• 🗺️ In-game area setup - Draw a custom rectangular spawn area or move its center without editing a single coordinate by hand
• ⏱️ Max flight duration - Optional time limit with a boss bar/title countdown, closes the old infinite-flight exploit
• 💬 messages.yml - Every player-facing message is now customizable in its own file

✨ What's New

New Features

• /spawnelytra setup: Stand at two corners, run pos1/pos2/save, done - a live particle preview shows you the box as you set it up, and a gold flash confirms it saved
• /spawnelytra center [reset]: Set a custom flight-area center independent of the vanilla world spawn
• Rectangular spawn areas: spawnAreaMode: rectangle as an alternative to the radius, with an automatic square fallback sized to spawnRadius if you don't set up a custom box
• /spawnelytra visualize [seconds]: Outlines the current area (circle, sphere, or box wireframe) with particles
• maxFlightDuration: Force-land players after N seconds, no fall damage, with a boss bar and last-3-seconds title countdown (sounds and each display element are individually toggleable)
• Multiple boosts per flight: totalBoosts + boostToBoostCooldown, with an actionbar countdown between boosts
• messages.yml: Boost/activation/flight-timer text, with & color codes and %key%/%count%/%total%/%seconds% placeholders

Enhancements

• disableFireworksInSpawnElytra blocks firework-rocket boosting while using the virtual elytra (real elytras unaffected)
• disableInAdventure optionally disables flight in Adventure mode; Creative is always excluded now (it has its own native flight)
• /spawnelytra info reports the actually active area mode and center, since area.yml can silently take priority over config.yml
• config.yml reorganized (Quick Start / Boost Limits / Flight Duration / Advanced Settings) so common options aren't buried under everything else

Bug Fixes

• Permissions did nothing: spawnelytra.use/.useboost were declared but never actually checked in code
• Reload left stale state: /spawnelytra reload never unregistered the previous listener, causing duplicate event handling and resetting Bedrock-player detection to empty for anyone already connected
• Flight could get stuck on: players already granted flight before a reload were never re-tracked, so leaving the spawn area afterward didn't revoke it
• Creative/Spectator flight got disabled: switching modes mid-flight could strip native flight from modes that manage their own, independent of this plugin
• Firework boost bypass: rockets could still boost players using the virtual elytra even with the block option on
• Bedrock chestplate backups now live on the player's own data instead of a separate JSON file

📥 Installation

Download SpawnElytra-2.6.0.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

🔄 Upgrading

Your existing config.yml keeps working - new options fall back to sensible defaults, and a fresh messages.yml is created automatically on first start.

⚠️ Important Notes

The message key (Java activation text) moved out of config.yml into messages.yml as javaActivation. If you'd customized it, copy your text over - the old key in config.yml is no longer read.

🌟 Why This Update?

• ✅ Set up a custom spawn area entirely in-game, no coordinate math
• ✅ Optional flight-time cap for servers that don't want players gliding forever
• ✅ Every message is now yours to rewrite
• ✅ Drop-in upgrade - your existing config keeps working
