WaterBar999

New Features

• Added a reload command, /water reload, so changes to the server settings, the biome rates, the water bar and the recipes take effect straight away instead of needing a restart.

• Added three admin commands. /water set gives a player an exact water level, /water add raises or lowers a level by an amount, and /water reset returns a player to the level they start with. All three refuse impossible values and keep a player inside the configured limits.

• Added command suggestions. Pressing tab now completes every command, item name and player name as you type.

• Added a choice of water bar displays, so each server can pick the experience bar, text above the hotbar, a boss bar along the top of the screen, or a sidebar panel. The number of bar segments, the symbols and the colors can all be changed.

• Added configurable warning and critical water levels, so a server decides exactly when players are warned and when low-water effects begin.

• Added an option for how far purification messages reach, an option to choose which effect is applied when water runs critically low, and a death message for players who die of thirst, which can be turned off or rewritten.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed waterskins blocking every block interaction. Holding a waterskin and right-clicking a chest, door, crafting table or any other block drank from the waterskin and cancelled the click, so the block never responded.

• Fixed water and waterlogged blocks cancelling every right-click. Blocks could no longer be placed into water, waterlogged chests and doors could not be used, and anything held in the hand stopped working whenever a waterlogged stair, slab or fence was clicked.

• Fixed the water bar, low-water warnings and the check command ignoring a custom maximum water level, so all of them now match the setting instead of always using one hundred.

• Fixed the low-water effects never being applied because the example effects used outdated names. Outdated names in an existing setup are now translated automatically and reported in the console.

• Fixed the configurable slowness duration being ignored. The effect now really is applied when water drops to the critical level, and its type, duration and strength can be set.

• Fixed partially used dirty waterskins being impossible to purify. A dirty waterskin with any number of charges left can now be purified, and it no longer comes back full.

• Fixed rainwater cauldrons being unusable. Water can now be taken from a filled cauldron with a bottle or an empty waterskin, which lowers the cauldron by one level. Bottled cauldron water is always clean.

• Fixed player water levels being saved in a way that could lose progress or damage the stored data when several saves happened at the same time. Saving is now serialised and always completes before the plugin shuts down.

• Fixed the water recipes staying behind after the plugin was reloaded or disabled, which left the server unable to craft or cook water items until it was restarted.

• Fixed jumping almost never counting as activity, so the jumping dehydration multiplier now actually applies.

• Fixed players in creative and spectator mode losing water and taking thirst damage. Only survival and adventure players are affected now.

• Fixed the give command accepting anything as an item name and silently handing out the wrong item.

• Fixed thirst damage landing an extra hit the moment water ran out, and thirsty deaths being reported as an ordinary death. Players who die of thirst now get a proper dehydration death message.

• Fixed repeated rain checks doing the same work many times over for players standing near each other, and settings changes only taking effect after a restart.

• Fixed the water bar taking over the experience bar without ever handing it back, and being shown to players who were not being tracked at all.

• Fixed player entries being kept in memory forever after logging out, and low-water effects being removed when they were no longer needed being unreliable.

• Fixed the console being unable to use any water command, and admins having no way to check or change another player's water level.

• Fixed custom water items being accepted by unrelated crafting recipes, which could consume a waterskin or water bottle by accident.

• Fixed the plugin's description listing the wrong waterskin recipe and a setting that did not actually work.

• Fixed the placeholder values disagreeing with the configured maximum, breaking when the maximum was not set correctly, and ignoring the configured bar symbols and colors.

• Fixed filling water being spammable with no feedback, and bottles being taken from the wrong inventory slot when several were held.

• Fixed players in the hottest places in the world losing water slower than they should, because those areas were not covered by the default heat settings.

• Fixed the version being different in different places. Everything now reports one version, and the author is credited everywhere.
