PvPIndex Factions

Added

• Faction MOTD (/f motd): officers and above can set a message of the day for their faction. The MOTD is displayed in chat when a member logs in. Use /f motd clear to remove it.
• Configurable member-size cap: a new max-members setting in config.yml limits how many players can belong to a faction (0 = unlimited). The cap is enforced in /f join and in the join service. Default is 0 (no limit).
• Warp passwords (/f warp password <name> [password | clear]): officers and above can protect a faction warp with a password. Players must supply the correct password as a second argument (/f warp <name> <password>) to teleport. Passwords are stored as plain text in the warps table — avoid using important credentials.
• Warp per-use cost (/f warp cost <name> <amount>): officers and above can require a Vault economy payment each time a warp is used. Setting the cost to 0 makes the warp free. The charge is deducted via Vault before teleporting; if Vault is absent or the player has insufficient funds the teleport is blocked.
• Database migration: the warps table gains two new nullable columns (password, use_cost) when the plugin starts on an existing installation. No data is lost during upgrade from 1.1.1.
• Dynmap startup smoke test (.github/workflows/dynmap-smoke.yml): downloads the latest dynmap plugin from Modrinth, starts a Paper server with both plugins, and asserts dynmap hooked - faction territory layer enabled. is logged. Runs on Paper 1.21.4 and 1.21.11 on every PR to main/develop.

Fixed

• dynmap compatibility expanded to 3.x (3.4 – 3.8): the vendored compile-time dynmap-api dependency was upgraded from 3.4-beta-3 to 3.8 (latest stable, released 2026-01-14). In dynmap 3.8 the marker API was split into a separate DynmapCoreAPI JAR; both JARs are now vendored under libs/ with minimal POMs so CI never contacts repo.mikeprimm.com. The runtime hook code only uses stable org.dynmap marker APIs that are present in every 3.x release, so the plugin continues to work with any installed dynmap 3.x version.
