OlEncounters

OlEncounters 1.7.0

OlEncounters 1.7.0 is a major release that expands the plugin from meteor-only events into a profile-driven encounter system. It also improves automatic location searching, wave progression, content packs, and in-game editing.

New encounter system

• Added a profile framework for encounters such as meteors, portals, underground assaults, invasions, boss rushes, supply drops, airships, and dungeons.
• Each profile can define its own name, icon, schematic, arrival animation, messages, join radius, conditions, and chained encounter.
• Conditions, messages, waves, scaling, participation, goals, schematics, and arrival animations can be toggled independently per profile.
• Added world, biome, weather, Minecraft time, player count, permission, and seasonal conditions.
• Added random encounter selection from the profiles that are currently eligible.

Waves, bosses, and participation

• Added profile-specific waves with weighted MythicMobs selections.
• The next wave does not begin until every pending and living mob from the current wave has been cleared.
• Bosses are optional, allowing single-wave encounters and profiles without a boss.
• Mob count, health, damage, and reward quantity can scale independently with participant count.
• Added joining, late joining, leaving, daily goals, and weekly goals.
• Expanded the in-game editor for profile and wave settings.

Content packs and modules

• YAML and JSON profiles placed in encounters/packs can be discovered without rebuilding the plugin.
• Added ZIP import and export for a profile and its explicitly linked schematic.
• Added ZIP path traversal protection, file-type validation, entry limits, and a 64 MiB size limit.
• Added a module framework that can discover and load external modules without changing the main plugin code.
• The profile system, content packs, and package operations can be disabled globally.

Automatic location search

• Corrected the timeout calculation that could stop a search before its configured number of attempts had a chance to run.
• Prevented the chunk budget from prematurely limiting lightweight any_surface searches.
• Removed the unnecessary batch delay after the final rejected candidate.
• Candidate evaluation failures now preserve and report the first underlying error in the final warning.
• WorldGuard, Towny, TPS, world-border, and ungenerated-chunk protections remain active.
• New chunk generation stays disabled by default, with controlled sequential snapshot processing.

Language, identity, and usability

• Updated the plugin name to OlEncounters, the author to OlPlugins, and the version to 1.7.0.
• Improved Turkish and English commands, interfaces, and help flows.
• Prevented MEDIUM from becoming the invalid medıum identifier under the Turkish system locale.
• Added encounter commands for listing, starting, starting at the current location, random selection, joining, leaving, progress, editing, reloading, and package operations.

Safety and compatibility

• Profile and progress data use safer write flows.
• Package loading, profile reloads, and eligible persistence work are kept away from the main server tick.
• Existing rollback, Folia scheduler, WorldGuard/Towny, MythicMobs, loot, and cleanup protections continue through the shared encounter lifecycle.
• The complete test suite, clean build, and packaged JAR checks were completed.

Requirements

• Paper or Folia 1.21.1+
• Java 21
• CommandAPI is required
• FastAsyncWorldEdit is required for schematic and rollback features

Fully restart the server after replacing the previous JAR. Do not use /reload.
