GenSprout

GenSprout 1.3.0-beta1

Supports Paper/Purpur 1.21.7 through 26.3. Java 21.

New Features

Teams & Co-op

* Native teams with /team (aliases /coop, /party, /c). * Create teams, invite players, accept or deny invites, kick members, promote or demote, transfer leadership, disband, and use team chat. * Roles: Leader, Co-Leader and Member, with their own permissions. * Team settings for sharing generator drops and generator management. * Dialog menus with player heads, plus player search. * New scoreboard and tab list placeholders: {team} and {team_role}.

New Player Experience

* First join runs /start: a Sprout Hoe, starter generators, then a choice between Solo and Team mode. The starter flow can't be skipped by accident. It ends with a Start Playing* button. * New /guide (also /help) with categories for Farming, Generators, Tools, Prestige, Teams and the Shop. Addons can add their own categories.

Active Farming

Combo streaks: fast harvests build a combo worth up to +50% XP and Essence. Reaching 50 starts a 15-second Sprout Frenzy*. Golden & Cosmic Sprouts*: rare harvest finds that award bonus Essence and money. Cosmic Sprouts also give a booster. Boosters*: Generator Overclock, Essence Surge and XP Surge. Bounties* (/bounties): three rolling objectives with Essence, money and booster rewards. Magnet* hoe enchant (max level 3) pulls nearby drops to you. * Sprout Hoes can no longer be dropped or lost on death. * Particle auras on high-tier generators, and effects when you upgrade.

Generators

Bulk upgrade*: upgrade all your placed generators in one click from /genshop or /gensprout bulkupgrade.

Leaderboards

* /gensprout top [prestige|level|essence|balance], plus a Leaderboards button in the main menu.

Admin Tools

* /gensprout selftest runs built-in health checks on a live server. * /gensprout booster <player> <type> <seconds> grants a booster.

Addons

Optional chyarolib* support for addons, hot reloads and update checks. GenSprout still works fully without it. GenSprout SkyBlock Addon 1.3.0-beta1*: * Void-world team islands with roles, protection, visits and resets. * Island upgrades bought with Upgrade Nuggets. * Custom .nbt island schematics. GenSprout Mine Addon 1.3.0-beta1* (new): * Refilling mines that pay money for every block mined, with a bonus per Prestige. * Mines unlock by Farming Level and Prestige. * Players browse mines with /mine; admins manage them with /mine admin.

Storage

* Player, generator and farm data moved from YAML files to SQLite (plugins/GenSproutData/gensprout.db). * The one-time migration backs up the old files and leaves them untouched if anything fails. * Boosters and bounty progress now survive restarts and reloads.

Security & Exploit Fixes

* Fixed generator duplication through old menu buttons. Menu buttons now only work once, and only on the menu you currently have open. * Sell Wands can no longer sell the contents of chests you aren't allowed to open. * Auto-Sell can no longer sell other players' generator drops. Magnet only pulls drops you're allowed to pick up. * Players can no longer use /sell, /genshop, /start and similar commands on other players, or on @a. That now needs gensprout.command.others, which only ops have by default. * Fixed endless XP and Essence from breaking unripe or hand-placed crops (for example stacked sugar cane) with the Sprout Hoe. * Harvest Area now respects land-claim and island protection. * The /start kit can only be claimed once. * Upgrade bounties can no longer pay out more money than the upgrades cost. * Purchases only go through once the payment has actually succeeded, and shop quantities are checked on the server. * Sell prices come from the config, not from values stored on items. * Team chat can no longer inject clickable commands. * Generators, Sprout Hoes and Sell Wands can no longer be used in crafting. * Admin commands reject invalid numbers. Previously addxp Infinity froze the server.

Bug Fixes

* Generators in worlds that load after GenSprout, such as the SkyBlock world, were being deleted. They're now kept. * /gensprout reload no longer throws away generator changes made since the last autosave. * Offline earnings are no longer paid twice after a crash. * Fixed messages that showed up as "[Missing string key]": bounty completion, boosters, golden and cosmic sprout finds, Frenzy, and bulk upgrade results. * Bounty and booster names, the bounties menu and the bulk upgrade menu are now translated into all 5 languages. * Team settings show a coloured Enabled/Disabled instead of raw <green> tags. * The starter guide no longer resets the team name you're typing.

Performance

* The scoreboard no longer scans every generator each second. * Faster checks on generator ticks and harvests. * Crop visuals are sent as batched block updates. * The team invite menu only scans offline players when you search. * Several memory leaks fixed, including menu buttons that were kept for 10 years.

Notes for Server Owners

* New permission: gensprout.command.others (default: op). * The database migrates automatically on first start. * Addon jars go in plugins/GenSprout/addons/ and need chyarolib.
