NewbieGuard 1.0.3

Two new player-friendly features, plus better compatibility with grave plugins.

✨ What's new

📱 Mobile-aware countdown (action bar)

Bedrock / Geyser players now see the protection countdown on an action bar instead of a boss bar — boss bars are unreliable on mobile clients and could even disconnect them on join. Java players keep the regular boss bar.

Control it with the new display-mode option:

# auto      = boss bar for Java, action bar for mobile (Bedrock/Geyser)
# bossbar   = always boss bar
# actionbar = always action bar
display-mode: auto

Mobile players are detected through the Floodgate API when it's installed (no hard dependency — detection just falls back to the Floodgate UUID pattern if it isn't).

💀 Keep items on death for protected players

New players who die while still under protection now keep their items and experience — no drops, no level loss. Great for stopping fresh players from rage-quitting after an early death.

keep-inventory-on-death: true

Runs at the lowest event priority so it plays nicely with grave / death-storage plugins like DeadChest (the keep-inventory state is set before they decide whether to make a grave).

🔧 Compatibility

• Folia 26.1.2 (Java 25)
• Optional soft integration with Floodgate
