• Fixed ride sidebars disappearing after upgrading to Minecraft 26.2. Updated the bundled ScoreboardLibrary to 2.8.2.
• Added one-step station creation: after selecting an area, stand on a powered rail inside it and face the departure direction. Creating the stop automatically saves its stopping point and launch direction.
• Simplified building commands: line and stop display names are optional. Stop IDs can be omitted when adding or editing the current station; overlapping stations still require an explicit ID.
• Fixed station title settings, departure countdowns, station re-entry, and cross-world display. Improved MiniMessage templates and arrival/terminal action bars.
• Added an in-transit action bar showing the next station and remaining distance.
• Added support for worlds with Minecart Improvements enabled, improving native slope movement, station braking, and drift correction while stopped.
• Improved arrival velocity synchronization for Bedrock passengers using Geyser/Floodgate.
• Fixed interval fare calculations and mid-route dismount settlement. Passengers are refunded if payment to the line owner fails.
• Added economy.account to designate a fare recipient for lines without an owner. Improved compatibility with late-loading and reloaded Vault economy providers.
• Added configurable mid-route dismount billing, defaulting to charging through the next station. Passenger exit locking is now disabled by default.
• Fixed Folia thread-access issues when rebuilding protected rail indexes during startup and reload. Improved scheduler handling.
• Improved GUI item safety by blocking drag operations that affect management inventories.

NOTE

• Configuration and language files are migrated automatically, with migration backups.
• Removed the ineffective speed_control.cruise_control setting. Stall recovery remains available.
• Existing passenger_exit_lock: true settings are preserved. Leaving economy.account empty retains the previous fare-handling behavior.
• Metro retains Java 17 bytecode and the Spigot 1.18.2 compile baseline.
