V3.0.0.2 We're still working through the changes from V1.9...
Bug fixes:
[Major] Potion brewing does not work with V1.9. This needs some investigation, so for the time being I'm removing the renaming of water bottles to Acid Bottles in the game. Players with Acid Bottles will need to destroy them and start again as the lore on them does not allow them to be used. [Major] Island deletion was causing excessive lag on some servers, so it was reworked to reduce that. V3.0.0.1 Bug fix release:
[Minorish] Prices for spawn eggs and potions were not being shown in the mini-shop. Upgrading from V3.0.0 If upgrading from pre-3.0.0 versions, just follow the 3.0.0 instructions. Stop server Replace previous jar with this jar (Optional) Remove minishop.yml because it will be regenerated. If you want to keep your descriptions or you customized it, leave it. Start the server, you should be done! V3.0.0 This release supports servers V1.7.9 through to V1.9.
1.9 brings in new features and functions and it may be possible for players to find new ways to cheat, or unforeseen bugs may exist. Please report them and I'll do my best to fix them.
Key V1.9 changes that affect admins
Biomes have changed and there are fewer of them. Potions - they can not longer be defined by a number, e.g., POTION:8123, they have to be described by name. Note that the default chest formatting for potions has changed to reflect this. See the config.yml file for instructions. Spawn eggs - these too must now be named, e.g. MONSTER_EGG:PIG. Herochat: This plugin works only with V5.7.0 and later of the HeroChat because they changed the API. Note that Herochat has bugs still. Upgrading Stop server and make backups of your world and AcidIsland plugin folder just in case. Replace previous jar with this jar (Optional for V1.9 servers) If you have any custom schematics, then you should recreate them and save them using the latest WorldEdit that enables V1.9 items otherwise potions will be just water bottles. Remove the old config.new.yml because a new one will be created. In the minishop, spawn eggs must now be described in the extra line by name, not number. So change the pig egg number 90, to PIG. Alternatively, delete minishop.yml and let it be recreated. Remove challenges.yml because a new one will be created. Or change your MONSTER_EGG definitions to be named instead of numbered. Locale.yml has been updated with a few strings, so move it or delete it. Restart the server Look at the new config.new.yml and merge in changes to your config.yml. Note that the default chest formatting for potions has changed. Read the instructions in the file. You should be good to go! New features Compatibility with V1.9 servers Added protection for daylight sensor setting from visitors Added ability to make acid bottles and buckets not be acid and not kill you if you drink water bottles. Added eggs to protection against breeding by visitors. Changed warp sign name search algorithm to give preference to warps that are exact matches. Added Admin command to reset all island protection settings to default. /asadmin settingsreset confirm Improved API - added mini shop events, Bug Fixes [Minor] Fixed bug where if a player does not have permission to use the control panel, but the control panel is active, then they cannot use /island command. [Minor] Fix for long standing bug where the initial welcome sign always faced North in schematics.
V2.9.9 Upgrading This version has a small addition to config.yml so it will make a config.new.yml for you to look at and merge into your own config.yml. The differences can be seen here.
Stop server Remove any old config.new.yml file. Copy this jar over the old jar Restart server Look at the new config.new.yml file and merge in the differences to your config.yml. Restart the server. You should be done! Enhancements Enhanced creeper griefing protection - creepers will not cause damage if visitors light them with flint & steel. Added protection against wither griefing by visitors due to the wither magically changing any blocks around it to air when it is damaged. Added color coding option to biome panel description. Added {ISLAND_CHALLENGE_LEVEL} chat tag. Added an option for island deletion to remove extraneous blocks around the edges of an island that cannot be deleted by the chunk deleter. This only matters for islands where the protection area and island distance are the same or within 16 blocks of each other. May cause lag so don't use unless you really need it. Added support for durability values on schematic icons. e.g. icon: DIRT:1 for coarse dirt icon. The title and subtitle shown when an island is created can have their colors changed. Colors have to be JSON colors, not Minecraft colors. API: Added a List of ItemStacks to the challenge complete API and challenge level complete API for what rewards the player received. Bug Fixes [Exploit] Fixed exploit for 1.7.9 where iron doors and chests could be placed by cacti by visitors and pop endless cacti. [Major] Removed use of apache commons NumberUtils because it is not supported on 1.7.9. Was causing errors during team invites. [Minor] Island level calculations were using some blocks from adjacent islands if islands were next to each other (within 16 blocks) [Minor] Fixed bug where challenge level upgrades were not being recognized. [Minor] Added comment to challenges.yml to explain "free challenges" [Minor] Island entry and exit messages will not show blank lines in chat if set to nothing in the locale files. [Minor] Added island info back into admin info command. [Minor] null, null, null, null was showing on some signs in custom schematics. [Minor] Red sandstone in schematics was becoming red sand when pasted. [Minor] Fixes bug where No Safe Warp Found was causing a No Method Found error in 1.7.9 servers V2.9.8.1 Upgrading This version has new protection settings for the island spawn in config.yml, so it will make a config.new.yml for you to look at and merge into your own config.yml. The differences can be seen here.
Stop server Remove any old config.new.yml file. Copy this jar over the old jar Restart server Look at the new config.new.yml file and merge in the differences to your config.yml. Restart the server. You should be done! Enhancements Adds new config.yml settings for spawn protection for armor stands, beds, animal breeding, crop trampling, throwing enderpearls, leash use and sheep shearing. Initial island sign text will now only be written to a sign on the island if the lines are blank in the island schematic. If no text is wanted to be written to the sign (other than what is in the schematic), it should be removed from the locale files, i.e., set as '' in the file. Decorations are better supported in schematics, such a mob heads, player heads, pictures, flower pots. Added calculateIslandLevel to API so that island levels can be calculated in addition to being read. Added /acid reserve <player> command to reserves any open spot for the player's next island. Admin should fly to the open spot and execute the command. Then the player can do a island reset and start next to their friend. The reservation does not survive server restarts and is meant for addressing immediate user needs. Game balancing - Added more sand to challenge rewards in ASkyBlock. API - improved the API. Returns copies of lists, sets, hash maps, etc. Added methods. Trees no longer will grow outside of the protected area of an island because they cannot be removed by the player. Issues resolved The largest acidisland.team.maxsize.# permission will now be used if the player has multiple ones assigned to them. Resolved issue where abnormal acidisland.team.maxteam settings like acidisland.team.maxteam. or acidisland.team.maxteam.fsdfsf could cause console errors and inability to invite players to a team. Fixed issue where on some servers teleporting the player on a new island creation was being prevented if teleporting-when-falling was set to false. Fixed issue where obsidian scooping check was being done even in non-island worlds (it would not work, but could cause console errors). Enhanced admin register command to be able to add any island even if it is somehow unknown to the plugin (legacy islands from other plugins maybe). Fixed long-standing bug where water bottles were not marked as Acid Bottles if acid is active. Addressed issue where AcidIsland and ASkyBlock Challenges GUI could be confused by the plugin if both plugins were running simultaneously. Added better protection against islands being added to the plugin if they are not on the correct grid lines. Could happen if player data was incorrect or in the case of importing data from other plugins. Fixed issue where console errors could occur when then plugin was supposed to be disabled due to misconfiguration. V2.9.7.4

Removes debug comments in console
Animals or entities going into an End Portal will go to The End instead of the Nether. However, note that if there is no player in The End world, the entity may not arrive (server issue?)
Dragon Eggs are now protected from being hit by visitors (and therefore teleporting) when placed on an island.

[Minor] Entities were not being found with challenges that extended the search radius beyond 10x10x10 blocks.
Upgrading
If upgrading from an earlier version, follow V2.9.7 upgrade instructions below. If upgrading from V2.9.7:

You should be done!
Improvements
Changed permission to remove a player from the top ten to avoid accidental inclusion. Permission is now acidisland.excludetopten
Added acidisland.craft.dirt permission to allow conversion of coarse dirt to normal dirt. Default setting is off as it can lead to unlimited dirt if player has access to gravel, e.g., from the nether
Improved error messages for unknown commands so they can be localized versions.
Added acidisland.nohunger permission that can stop hunger when a player is on their own island
Added search radius to challenges.yml. This allows island challenges to include a larger area than 10x10x10. Enable on a per-challenge basis. Locale files changed as a result. See this file for an example.
Added admin command clearresetall that clears the reset limit for all players. Operates async, so may take a while on large servers but will show progress. Permission to access if not Op is acidisland.admin.clearresetall
Bug Fixes
[Major] Enchanted items were wiped of enchantment if a similar item was required to complete a challenge. e.g., requiring a diamond sword would wipe the enchantment from any other diamond swords in inventory.
[Major] Biome setting of chunks was occurring before the world was being created on some servers (e.g. Cauldron)
[Major] Players were sometimes ending up on an invisible island when reseting or starting a new island if they started in the same world. Players could only recover if they logged out and back in or warped to another world and back.
[Major] Fixed multiple issues where the player's start island was in the Nether.
[Minor] Comments in config.yml about the chest content settings in schematicsection were wrong.
[Minor] Item frames could be blown up by creepers on visitor islands.

Updates
[Critical] Added check for overly-long panel titles - these long titles were enabling item removal from panels in some locales.
[Major] Improved island level calculations. Some island blocks were not counted on the edges of islands. It depended on the coords of the island.
[Minor] Fixed biome setting alignment to match island block boundaires instead of chunk boundaries. Biomes will now align exactly with island edges.
[Performance] Stopped move event processing unless a player moves in x or z - should improve performance.
[Security] Added saving of the island grid at key points, like island deletion, changing of ownership, new island, etc. Also adds a 5 minute repeating save to capture island setting changes. This should help protect from issues after a server crash.
[Minor] Challenge completion broadcast messages are now in the language of the recipient not the completing player.
[Minor] Acid drinking death message is not sent if mute death messages is true. Message is also displayed in local language of player.
[Minor] If acid is enabled, putting your head in acid will hurt now. Previously, only your feet would get burned.

V2.9.6
Thank you for your interest in this plugin! All donations go towards the development of this plugin. BIG THANKS to my supporters! I really appreciate you guys.
This version brings in some cool new features and optimizations. It gives players the ability to set their own island protection settings, including PVP and gives admins the ability to limit island entities of all kinds. It also fixes some bugs, ahem.
Compatibly
This plugin has been tested on 1.7.9 and 1.8.8. It will not work on 1.7.2.

Click on the donate button because you love the plugin so much! $1 per player would be awesome!
Copy this jar file over the old one.
Remove config.new.yml if you had one, because a new one will be made for you to look at.
Remove/move the locale folder or files inside because there are updates to the English, Korean and Chinese files and the addition of Dutch. If you don't the plugin will use default text.
Start the server.
The plugin will identify that your config is old and make a new config called "config.new.yml". This is for your reference and not used by the plugin.
Look at config.new.yml and merge it with your current * config.yml. This may be as easy as renaming it. This is where you earn your stripes as an admin. :-) Enjoy all the new cool settings you can change!
Restart server with the updated config.yml.
To give players access to set their own island settings, give them the acidisland.settings.* permission - See the config.yml for details.
You should be done!
New features (see the new config for new settings)
Players can now have full control over their island guard settings via the /is settings menu. Access is governed by permissions: acidisland.settings.* for all access, acidisland.settings.allowPvP, etc. for individual settings. See config.yml for a list. Includes island-wide warning of PvP changes, warning when warping and looking at warp signs if PvP is allowed and cool down timer to prevent quick toggling.
Allow/deny pressure plate use for island visitors or at spawn. Default is allowed.
Allow/deny visitor horse riding on islands or at spawn. Default is not allowed.
Allow/deny access to horse inventories if visitor horse riding is allowed. Default is not allowed.
Added allow/deny spawn item drop/pickup.
Allow/deny pistons from pushing blocks outside of the island protection area. Default is allowed. This "glitch" was been tolerated in the past because it enabled players to build bridges, but some admins wanted it locked down.
Max islands - limits the maximum number of islands that can be made. Refuses new islands if max is met. Players with islands can still reset.
Added option to limit Tile Entities (also called Block Entities) on islands because they can cause lag. These are blocks like hoppers, dispensers and item frames. This replaces the previous hopper setting (which still works) with a more general config. Hopefully 1.9 will fix the entity lag issue!
Added option to block all commands when falling via "*". Previously, each command had to be named individually.
Improved schematic pasting: written books with colored text can be included in chests! Pasting should also be faster for some schematics. Added more comments in the config on schematic options.
Korean translation updated
Added Dutch locale
/acid topten is now async - will regenerate the topten list if it is corrupted or missing.
New permissions: acidisland.island.go - required to use the /island go command. Players with acidisland.mod.excludetopten permission will be excluded from Top Ten list.
Admin tp and tpnether changed so they try to teleport to player's home location first and then to a generic safe location.
Admins, or players with acidisland.mod.removesign permission can remove other player’s warp signs.
Bug Fixes
[Major] Wall Sign warps were lost when server was restarted.
[Major] Experience for first completion of a challenge was not given to players. Recurring experience was given.
[Minor] Team spy permission was incorrect so Mods could not use it. It was corrected to be acidisland.mod.spy.
V2.9.5
A few notable changes for players:
Nether portals and teleporting - the location that players will arrive at in the Nether will be the closest safe spot to the coordinates that they teleported from.
If players build a nether portal in the nether, it will link up to the closest nether portal on their island.
Animals, mobs and carts can now go through portals
Warp signs can now be placed on a wall. They have to be ground level or one block above to work.
The warp listing is now sorted by the most recently active players. This keeps it fresh.
Players can now access Enderchests on any island if they have the Enderchest permission
Upgrading
This version has an updated config.yml and locale files, so please read the upgrade process:
Stop server
Copy this jar over your old jar
Move your locale folder because files will be updated
Start your server - the plugin will recognize your old config.yml and make config.new.yml for you to look at.
You are done! But I recommend you follow the next steps...
Open up config.new.yml and merge the new settings into your config.yml. If you don't the defaults will be used.
Look through the new locale files and customize how you like.
Changes and New Features
Config files can now use block ID's (numbers) instead of Materials. This allows for custom blocks on some servers.
Team chat spy! Use /asadmin spy with permission: acidisland.mod.teamchatspy to spy on all team chats.
Made admin purge work better with large servers.
Changed minimum island protection size to 0 (was 50) to enable super-close-to-neighbor-island game variations.
Warp signs can now be wall signs or sign posts!
Nether portals now link up if a player makes one in the Island Nether and the Island World. i.e., players teleport between them.
Items and entities like creatures and mine carts can go through portals.
Enderchests can be used on any island if the player has the enderchest permission.
Topbreeders admin command will only count island with more than 5 animals on them
Added fire spread protection - see Island Guard settings in config.yml
Added ability to disable death messages - see config.yml
Added ability to allow PVP at the spawn island.
Added ability to allow milking at spawn
Added ability to allow picking up water or lava at spawn
Descriptions in the mini shop and control panel can now go multi-line by using the | character (add lore)
Added /island uncoop <player> to remove coop from a player without expelling them
Guardians (like squids) will not die if water is acid.
Bug fixes
Player name changes were not being recognized properly
Some admins saw NPE's with Essentials Protect and creeper explosions.
Mods with bypass lock permission could not teleport to islands
Fixed multi-home sethome exploit where players could set an extra home at 0 as well as 1, 2, etc.
Fixed localization error with the island invite help. It was showing the /is help text and not specific text to island invite.
Level change rewards were sometimes not working beyond the first level.
NPEs were thrown if players without an island tried some island commands, like sethome and mini shop
Plugin was checking the player's balance in the wrong world during biome purchase or money challenges. Only affected servers with multi-world economies.
V2.9.4.2
Bug fix update. If upgrading from V2.9.4.x, just copy this jar over the old one and restart. Otherwise, follow the V2.9.4 upgrade instructions.
Changes & Improvements
Spanish locale updated
Chinese locale updated
Topbreeders admin command is now async and fast
Startup protection added - if island world in config.yml does not match a previously run world, plugin will stop for safety and give advice
Admin commands and responses have been sorted and localized - lots of new strings in the locale files as a result!
New moderator command: resetsign - makes any sign into the island owner's warp sign. resetsign <player> makes the sign into a warp sign for player. (permission: acidisland.mod.signadmin)
New moderator command: resethome - resets a player's home position to somewhere safe on their island, just in case it is in a bad place (permission: acidisland.mod.resethome)
New moderator command: sethome <player> - sets a player's home position to the position of the moderator. (permission: acidisland.mod.resethome)
Yaw and pitch saved when setting home or setting the /island spawn location.
Bug Fixes
My Precious challenge reward of cauldron fixed
When nether was disabled and new nether set to true, nether islands were still trying to be made resulting in an NPE.
Admin teleporting now works better with tp and tpnether going to over-world and nether respectively no matter what the player's home world is.

The following files are updated in this release, so move your versions so the new ones can be created and you can see the new options: challenges.yml, minishop.yml, locale/locale.yml, locale/en-US.yml, /locale/de-DE.yml.
Start the server and then stop it again to create the new config.new.yml file in the AcidIsland folder.
Look at all the cool new extras in the config.new.yml and merge them with your config.yml how you like. If you don't, defaults will be used that you may not like. Also merge the other new files with your old ones.
Restart the server - you should be done!
Changes
New Features
Team Chat - FTW! (Shout out to Mr. SheepSheep!) Now team members can chat between themselves and not have to bother other players. Just do /island teamchat to toggle it on and off. It's just for the game session and switches off if you log out. Admins can configure the team chat prefix and permission it off or on. New permission is acidisland.team.chat, default enabled for all players.
Warp panels! So, you have like, 50 million welcome warps and who knows which are worth going to and which are just some newbie warp? Now you can experience multi-page warp panels with player heads! Every player's warp sign text is copied in the mouse-over so players can advertise their shops or islands and warpers can find decent places to go. And there's more - warp signs now support color text using & characters. Enjoy! (If you want the old text style it's still there, just set in config.yml).
Performance: New, super-speedy async level calculation.
Performance: Villager limits! Set per player per island, so a team can have more villagers. Helps reduce entity lag.
Performance: Hopper limits! Island max setting available. Helps reduce entity lag.
Performance: Fast safe home finding - a player, you know the kind, pours lava all over their island so they have no safe home. In addition, their island protection size is 400x400. So when they hit /island your server crashes because it was looking everywhere for a safe spot. Not more! All that is now done async (like the level calc) and it is *&#&$ fast. If there is a safe spot, it will be found. If not, the player will be told it's not safe. Time to delete and start again...
Challenges: Rewards can be given when players complete a challenge level - you can run commands, give permissions, money, etc. when a new level is unlocked. See the new challenges.yml file.
Challenges: Can now require that a player has a certain money balance to complete a challenge
For new installs, the island distance is now set to 200 instead of -1 so it can be played immediately.
Commands can be run when a player starts an island for the first time, in addition to when they reset.
Mob white list - protects certain mobs from death when a player logs in or does /island. Default protection is for wither, enderman and pig zombie. See new config.yml.
Chat variable: add {ISLAND_LEVEL} into any chat format and it will be substituted with the player's island level. (The old team suffix still works, but is now deprecated and may be removed in the future).
Island Guard: Wither griefing protection - spawning a wither is a right of passage for any self-respecting island dweller, but it doesn't have to go and grief other islands right? This setting makes sure that what happens between an island dweller and a Wither, stays between the island dweller and the Wither.
Island Guard: New protection against "creeper griefing" were visitors get creepers to blow up so they can damage an island. Now if a creeper explodes due to a visitor it will hurt players, but not damage blocks. This protection is enabled by default.
Island Guard: Visitors can be blocked from running commands on islands. /spawner and /spawnmob are blocked by default.
Schematic panel icon ordering - now you can order the islands in the GUI. Use order: in the config.
Color! Before color TV we had black and white. Now we have color in the control panel and mini-shop descriptions! OMG!
Mod permission to bypass island lock - acidisland.mod.bypasslock - allow those Mods to get in and do their stuff without giving them full bypass mode.
New admin command to lock or unlock player's islands. /acid lock <player>
New events for developers to use via the API - see the JavaDocs
Auto language selection - this apparently works (I haven't been able to test it) but it's based on the client's lang.
New permission to use the lang command. If player's don't have this permission, then they will default back to the system language in locale.yml.
The new island nether is enabled by default now.
Settings panel is updated with some extra icons around creeper and wither damage.
German locale update.
Bug Fixes
Resourceful players were creating traps for warpers. Fixes should help protect travelers from falling through open trapdoors, etc.
Clever players had worked out an inventory dupe glitch when visitors are allowed to keep their inventory on death.
Schematics containing 1.8 items might not have worked correctly.
Arrows could break frames on the island spawn.
When recovering lava from obsidian, if a player had multiple buckets in their hand, it would take all of them.
Some schematics could cause an NPE with certain text on a sign.
Changed how mob removal was done because server was filtering out large area requests. Was also sometimes blocking the admin topbreeders command from working.
V2.9.3.3
[Major] Fixes name-change issue where players who changed their name could not be cooped or found for other commands.
Updating from 2.9.3.x
Stop server
Copy this jar over the old one
Restart the server
V2.9.3.2
Bug fixes for better backwards compatibility and locale updates. Improves prevention of teleporting when falling, if enabled.
Updating from 2.9.3.x
Stop server
Copy this jar over the old one
Move the locale folder to locale.old as files will be updated
Restart the server
(Optional) Copy any edits you made to locale files into the new files.
Changes
Locale fixes and update to Brazilian locale.
Better compatibility with old config.yml's that have not been updated
Ban and unban commands give help if just used by themselves
Teleporting when falling: if disallowed, better support for preventing other plugin commands
Bug fixes
[Major] NPE could occur during an island reset if schematicsection was missing from config.yml (usually due to config not being updated during an upgrade).
V2.9.3.1
This is a very-large-server-optimized version of V2.9.3 with some bug fixes. (A very large server has >10,000 player files and this plugin has been tested on and is deployed on >115,000 player-file server.) If you run such a server I strongly recommend to update to improve performance.
Changes
Implements a very fast and memory-optimized name-to-UUID lookup database for offline player identification. This is used for many admin commands but also the ban/unban command and level <name> command.
Tab complete is enabled for all commands (thanks Pokechu22!)
Bug Fixes
[Major] banning of unknown players was crashing server if server had low memory and large number of player files
[Major] urban of a banned offline player caused NPE/internal error
[Minor] Reset count was being deducted even if player did not go through with island reset, or if reset was interrupted because player had not kicked all team members
[Minor] Alchemist challenge was using the old format for required items and not the new one.
Installation
Stop server
Copy this jar over old jar
(Optional if you want Alchemist challenge) Move challenges.yml to challenges.old because a corrected version will be created with the new Alchemist challenge.
Restart server
Plugin will create a database of names and UUID's. This should not take long, but a status is provided. It is done asynchronously so will not delay normal operation.
Merge the new challenges.yml and your old one how you like.
You're done!
V2.9.3
This version brings in a number of significant changes, especially to the New Nether and bug fixes. Please read all the notes before upgrading!
Key changes
New-new island nether world! Uses schematics and eliminates the errors in teleporting from before. I recommend resetting the nether world, but it's up to you. When you upgrade, remember to set newnether:true in the config!
Ban command! Players can ban other players using the /is ban command. Settable by permission.
More schematic customization options! Set per-schematic companions, a spawn position, etc.
Permission-based team sizes, initial island protection size and max homes!
Bug fixes!
Updating
Stop server
Copy new jar over old jar in plugins folder
The following files have changed: blockvalues.yml, locale/en-US.yml, locale/locale.yml - so move those elsewhere as new ones will be created.
Remove config.new.yml if it exists.
Restart the server
A new config.new.yml will be created for this version with the extra 2.9.3 settings in it
Stop the server
Look through config.new.yml and use it, or merge it with the changes you made in your previous config.yml.
Look at the new blockvalues.yml and locale files to see the changes. For the locale - it is mainly text for the ban command.
Start the server - you should be done!
Change log
The team size system has changed! Previously, there were two hard-coded permissions acidisland.team.vip, and acidisland.team.vip2. Those are gone and replaced by acidisland.team.maxsize.(number). The old permissions will still work for now, but could disappear in the future, so move to the new system.
Similarly max homes can now be set by permission: acidisland.island.maxhomes.(number) and the initial island protection range can be set by permission: acidisland.island.range.(range).
New-new nether - completely revamped and now uses schematics for the nether island. Admins can customize the nether island, add different ones and have overworld islands use different nether island. The nether island is created at the same time as the overworld island. See the schematicsection in config.yml for the new options.
New schematicsection settings in config.yml: admins can now set per-schematic companions, companion names, chest items and a spawn position. Schematics can also be hidden from the GUI so they cannot be chosen by the user, e.g. nether schematics. See the new config section for details.
Schematics can be pasted with mobs and animals included in them (if they were there when the schematic was saved). Note that not all characteristics of a mob/animal can be pasted.
New /acid purge unowned admin command. This will safely remove any unowned islands in the world if they exist. Islands can become unowned due to the /acid unregister admin command, or failures to paste a schematic successfully (bug in the schematic), or a bug in the plugin (ahem, see below). It is recommended to run this command if you are upgrading from 2.9.2.x as there is a bug that does not delete islands properly.
New /acid purge allow and /asadmin purge disallow admin commands. Use to protect any unowned islands you want to prevent from being purged. This setting is persistent and saved.
Added the ability to respawn on your island if you die
Added support for teleporting back to home from The End if the dragon is killed and opens up a portal.
blockvalues.yml has been enhanced so that the value for an island level can be configured. Default if 100.
Added /island ban command. Players can ban/unban other players from their island. Permission added for this command.
Checks are now made that island distance and protection range are even numbers.
Challenges can be done in the new island nether now.
Nether trees can be switched off in the config.
Added Traditional Chinese locale.
Bug Fixes
[Major] Islands reset via the schematics GUI were not being actually deleted, but left. See new purge unowned command.
[Minor] Option to keep inventory on death for visitors was not working
[Minor] Warp signs were not properly respecting locked islands. Players could warp from another world, move, and then get thrown into the void.
[Minor] Throwing an enderpearl in the nether was not working correctly and created a PVP error
[Minor] Pasting of schematics with chest items did not cover all the items because of incompatibilities with WorldEdit material naming.
[Minor] Removed acid rain damage if it is raining but the player is in a dry biome
[Minor] Warping to the nether was placing players on mob towers instead of their island. Fixed with the new-new nether.
V2.9.2.1
This is a bug fix release.
Bug fixes
[Major] If schematics GUI panel was disabled and a player reset their island, no island would be created and they would be teleported to spawn if more than one island was available to them via permissions.
[Major] Island lock command (/is lock) would fling all visitors and coop players off the island and into the acid sea. Fixed so that coops can stay and visitors are expelled back to their own islands.
[Minor] Legacy support for the old schematics section with permissions was not working.
[Minor] Cooked pork (grilled pork) and mycelium (mycel) inside chests in schematics were not pasting.
[Minor] Schematics with signs with color created using the § character were not able to be used.
Upgrading
If updating from V2.9.2, just copy over the jar file and restart. Otherwise follow V2.9.2 instructions.
V2.9.2
New Features
Schematic Panel - This release includes a new GUI to enable players to pick from a multitude of starter islands. To enable these, edit the new schematic section in config.yml. Two islands are now available - the original, that does not use a schematic and a new one. Adjust permissions how you like.
New config.yml alert - To assist with upgrading, this version also does an automatic config.yml check and if you are using an older version, it will create a config.new.yml file for you to look at and switch to when you are ready.
Improved login processing to clean up any unowned islands that should be owned in the grid manager. This was causing some players to not be able to use their island.
Blocks below sea-level can be worth more when calculating island level. This was added to promote more underwater development. See the new blockvalues.yml for the setting
Blockvalues.yml was also enhanced to support data values, e.g., LOG:3 for jungle logs, so those can be limited or promoted
Challenges.yml - the POTION has changed so it is effect-based! This makes the Alchemist challenge work in all situations! YEAH! See the new challenges.yml for the format.
Schematics
The major feature of this release is the ability to have multiple starter islands. Previously, this was supported by simple permissions in the config, but there was no GUI and players had no choice. The old permissions section still works, but is deprecated so if you used it, upgrade to the new scematicsection in config.yml.
The new features are:
AcidIsland now has 2 possible starter islands: the original and a new sand Temple island
You can add as many schematics as you like
Schematics can be limited by permissions
GUI supports customizable icons, names and descriptions of the islands
Islands can start with a biome pre-configured
Physics can be set on or off when pasting schematics (e.g. off allows water or lava to hover)
Upgrading
A bit different to before!
Stop server and back up plugin files
Back up world and plugin folder for safety
Copy this jar over the old one
Move the locale folder to locale.old so that the new locale files will be created
Move blockvalues.yml and challenges.yml to blockvalues.old/challenges.old because new ones will be created.
Restart server
New files will be written and the plugin will identify that config.yml is older and create config.new.yml.
A new folder called schematics will be created
Stop the server
Merge config.new.yml with your old config.yml how you like
If you were using a custom island.schematic file, copy it into the schematics folder. This is where schematics should be now. Edit the schematicsection part of config.yml to be how you like.
Check the blockvalues.yml and challenges.yml file and adjust/merge how you like. Note the changes.
Finally, copy your old locale.yml to the new locale.yml folder if you previously changed it. There is one additional text entry at the end for the schematics GUI.
Restart the server and test!
