- Updated to support Minecraft versions from 1.16.5 to 1.21.x.
Changelog - Version 1.0 (Initial Public Release)
Release Date: June 17, 2025
This is the first stable public release of the TeleportStructure plugin. The entire codebase has been reworked from the ground up to achieve stability, flexibility, and functionality.
✨ Features & Core Mechanics
- Structure-Based Teleportation: Players no longer use commands to teleport. Travel occurs through physical interaction with a player-built portal structure.
- Intuitive Portal Creation: A user-friendly creation process via the
/portal create <name>command, which provides a special tool for linking two points. - Graphical User Interface (GUI): The
/portal listcommand now opens a convenient menu displaying all of a player's portals, their status, and coordinates, with full page support. - Public & Private Portals: Players can control access to their portals with the
/portal public <name>command. - Customizable Sounds & Effects: Added beautiful, configurable sound and particle effects for all key actions (setting a point, creating a portal, teleporting), all managed in
config.yml. - Destruction Mechanic: An optional feature has been added where a portal is automatically deleted if one of its structure blocks is broken.
⚙️ Flexibility & Configuration
- Centralized
config.yml: Nearly every aspect of the plugin is configurable through one convenient file. - Customizable Structures: Administrators can define any material for the center and border blocks of the portal structure.
- Cross-World Control: An option (
allow-cross-world) has been added to the config to permit or forbid the creation of portals between different worlds. - Full Localization: All user-facing messages have been moved to
config.yml, supporting customization and color codes.
🛡️ Administration & Security
- Granular Permissions System: Full permission support has been added for every command and action, with a clear separation between player and admin permissions.
- Admin Commands: Implemented commands for server management:
/portal reload- Reloads the configuration./portal list <player>- Views another player's portal list.- Admins with the
teleportstructure.admin.removepermission can delete any portal.
- Reliability: Implemented checks for duplicate portals, player portal limits, and other logical safeguards.
🚀 Technical Improvements
- Stable Entity Handling: The mechanism for spawning and removing invisible armor stands now correctly handles chunk loading and unloading, preventing trigger loss.
- Data Migration: A system for automatically migrating data from the earliest versions of the plugin to the new format has been built in.
- Clean Code Architecture: The code is organized into logical managers (
PortalManager,TeleportManager,ConfigManager,PortalGUI, etc.) for easy maintenance and future development.
Thank you for using TeleportStructure! Future versions are planned to include an interactive GUI, economy support, and much more.
