Explosion Protector

What's new in 3.0

ExplosionProtector 3.0 ships as one universal JAR for Paper/Folia 1.19.x – 26.1.x. Highlights - Add always-explode-blocks whitelist — listed materials always break, even if player-placed - Default protect-first-unknown: false so natural terrain explodes correctly again - Update for CoreProtect 24.0 - Improve async CoreProtect lookups (queue, cache, circuit breaker) - Persist player-placed blocks in SQLite with safer chunk/world unload handling - Add Folia-safe schedulers - Refresh README / docs for the 3.0 release Supported - Paper / Folia / Spigot forks: 1.19.x, 1.20.x, 1.21.x, 26.1.x Note - After updating, set protect-first-unknown: false if your old config still has true - Add any trap/redstone/TNT materials you want forced to explode under always-explode-blocks - CoreProtect 24.0+ is recommended

What changed

- Paintings and item frames are no longer fully unbreakable. - They are now protected only from explosions. - Normal break behavior is preserved for all non-explosion causes.

Technical fixes

- Added explosion-only checks for hanging entities: - HangingBreakEvent -> cancel only EXPLOSION - EntityDamageEvent -> cancel only BLOCK_EXPLOSION / ENTITY_EXPLOSION - Removed invalid frame/painting handling from explosion blockList logic.

Dependency update

- CoreProtect API updated to 23.1 (from 22.4).

Recommended setup

- Use CoreProtect 23+ to avoid known 22.4 entity logging warnings.
