Autoborder

AutoBorder 2.0 – What’s new?

Messages moved to messages.yml All chat and title texts are now in messages.yml (no longer in config.yml). You can use either & color codes (e.g., &e, &a, &l for bold) or MiniMessage tags (e.g., <yellow>). The plugin auto-detects which format you’re using. A bold default prefix is included: &e&l[&aBorder&e]&r (fully customizable). Daily “shrink” option Set a chance for the border to shrink instead of grow: border.shrink_chance_percent. Set the shrink amount: border.shrink_amount. Disable by setting chance to 0, or amount to 0. Shrink has its own chat/title messages and sounds (just like grow). Titles also on shrink If border.broadcast_title_enabled: true, titles are shown for both grow and shrink. Fade-in, stay, and fade-out timings apply to both. Minimum border size border.min_size: the border will never go below this value (enforced for shrink and admin commands).

Local PlaceholderAPI

%autoborder_size% works locally—no external cloud dependency. Texts were removed from [config.yml] and live in messages.yml now. [config.yml] focuses on behavior/settings (times, animation, sounds, min_size, shrink settings, title timings).

Migration to 2.0 (step-by-step)

- Back up your AutoBorder folder (plugins/AutoBorder). - Replace the old JAR with AutoBorder-2.0.jar. - Start the server so messages.yml is generated. If you already had one and want the new defaults, delete your old messages.yml before starting. - Copy your customized texts from your old config into messages.yml: - Grow: messages.grow.chat, messages.grow.title_main, messages.grow.title_sub - Shrink: messages.shrink.chat, messages.shrink.title_main, messages.shrink.title_sub - General: messages.prefix, messages.general.not_allowed_outside - Review new options in config.yml: border.shrink_chance_percent, border.shrink_amount , border.min_size , border.broadcast_title_enabled and title timings (broadcast_title_fadein/stay/fadeout) - Restart the server or run /border reload to apply changes. Tip: use & colors in messages.yml Example bold prefix: &e&l[&aBorder&e]&r (the &r resets bold so the rest isn’t bold). Hex is supported too: &#FFAA00 (auto-detected by the plugin).

FAQs

- How do I disable shrink? Set border.shrink_chance_percent: 0 or border.shrink_amount: 0. - Where do I configure texts? In messages.yml. All chat/title texts are there. - Do I still need to edit messages in config.yml? No—config.yml no longer reads message content. It only controls behavior and timings. - How do I reload without restarting? Use /border reload (reloads both [config.yml] and messages.yml).
