Changes

Release Highlights

  • 🔺⚙️ Per-dimension limits — Block counts, entity counts, limits, and offsets are now tracked independently for the overworld, nether, and end, fixing the long-standing bug where nether/end counts reset to zero on chunk unload (#43).
  • 🐛 Accurate counting — Fixes for double-counted beds/doors, golem/snowman block removal, several entity-counting bugs, and count leaks during recount.
  • 🔡 MiniMessage locales — All bundled locale files have been converted from legacy & colour codes to MiniMessage, and missing translation keys were synced across all languages.
  • 🩹 Older-server compatibility — Resolves a crash on Minecraft versions earlier than 1.21.9 caused by referencing copper blocks that did not yet exist.

Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 2.7.1 ✔️ Minecraft 1.21.5 – 26.1.2 ✔️ Java 21

Upgrading

  1. As always, take backups just in case. (Make a copy of everything!)
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Replace the Limits jar with this one.
  4. Restart the server.
  5. You should be good to go!

🔺 Data migration: Limits now stores counts and limits per dimension. On first load, your existing single-dimension data is migrated automatically into the overworld slot — no action is required, but the on-disk format changes, so a backup before upgrading is strongly recommended. Downgrading after the upgrade is not supported.

⚙️ New config sections: A single blocklimits value now applies independently to each dimension (e.g. HOPPER: 10 allows 10 in the overworld, 10 in the nether, and 10 in the end). Optional blocklimits-nether and blocklimits-end sections let you override a single dimension. These are added commented-out in the default config; existing configs keep working unchanged.

🔺 Per-dimension permissions: In addition to the existing <gamemode>.island.limit.<KEY>.<NUMBER> (applied to all dimensions), you can now scope a limit to one dimension with <gamemode>.island.limit.<overworld|nether|end>.<KEY>.<NUMBER>.

🔡 Locale note: The bundled locale files now use MiniMessage formatting (<red>, <green>, …) instead of legacy & codes. If you have customised any Limits locale strings, review them against the new files. Translations were also resynced and may need regenerating.

Legend

  • 🔡 locale files may need to be regenerated or updated.
  • ⚙️ config options have been removed, renamed, or added.
  • 🔺 special attention needed.

New Features

🔺⚙️ Per-dimension block and entity limits

[PR #261]

Block counts, entity counts, limits, and offsets are now keyed by World.Environment, so the overworld, nether, and end are each tracked and limited independently. This fixes #43, where nether and end counts dropped to zero whenever their chunks unloaded. A single config-defined limit applies to each dimension separately, new blocklimits-nether / blocklimits-end sections allow per-dimension overrides, and a new 6-segment permission format lets you grant limits for one dimension. Existing per-island data is migrated into the overworld dimension on first load.

Bug Fixes

🐛 Block count leaks and recount accuracy

[PR #264]

Fixes several cases where block counts could drift over time, and parallelises recount chunk loading so the calc command completes faster.

🐛 Multi-block placements counted once

[PR #265]

Beds, doors, and other multi-block structures were being counted twice on placement. Fixes #86.

🐛 Golem and snowman block removal

[PR #266]

Block removal for golems and snowmen is now anchored on the pumpkin rather than the spawn block, so the correct blocks are decremented. Fixes #127.

🐛 Entity counting fixes

[PR #267]

Resolves three entity-counting bugs in the entity limit listener.

🐛 Spawn eggs no longer consumed at the limit

[PR #268]

When a player is at the entity limit, spawn-egg use is now denied before the egg is consumed, so the item is kept. Fixes #134.

🩹 Copper-material crash on older servers

Limits referenced 1.21.9 copper blocks (copper torches, copper chests) directly, which crashed with a NoSuchFieldError on servers running Minecraft 1.21.8 or earlier. These materials are now resolved by name, so the same jar runs on both older and newer servers.

Other Improvements

  • 🔡 Locale keys synced across all 21 languages and converted to MiniMessage formatting.
  • 🧹 Extensive SonarCloud-driven cleanup of main and test code (cognitive complexity, duplicated literals, deprecated API usage, unused code).
  • 🔧 MockBukkit pinned to Maven Central 4.110.0; Modrinth game-versions updated to the current Minecraft range.
