Rules Plugin

RulesPlugin v1.3.2 - Compatibility Update

This is a focused compatibility release for newer Minecraft servers and cross-play setups.

Added

- Added a dedicated Minecraft 26.2.x build. - Added passive GeyserMC detection. - Added passive Floodgate detection. - Added softdepend entries for Geyser-Spigot and floodgate, so RulesPlugin loads after them when present. - Added startup log messages when GeyserMC or Floodgate are detected.

Compatibility

RulesPlugin now provides separate builds for: - Minecraft 1.21.x - Minecraft 26.1.x - Minecraft 26.2.x Make sure to download the JAR that matches your server version.

Notes

RulesPlugin does not require GeyserMC or Floodgate to run. If they are installed, RulesPlugin will load after them and keep compatibility passive. This helps avoid startup ordering issues on cross-play servers without adding hard dependencies. Bedrock inventory behavior may still differ from Java clients, so server owners using GeyserMC should test the rules GUI with a real Bedrock client.

Download

Replace the old JAR with the correct v1.3.2 build for your Minecraft version, then restart your server.

RulesPlugin v1.3.1 — "The" RulesPlugin Update

This update focuses on fixing several issues reported by the community and improving the overall reliability of RulesPlugin.

Fixed

* Fixed GUI item movement through click, shift-click, number-key swaps, offhand swaps and drag actions * Fixed leaked GUI items remaining in player inventories * Fixed invalid config.yml values being silently accepted * Fixed /rules reload applying broken configurations * Fixed compatibility issues caused by Paper-only API usage * Fixed invalid material names such as Sticky_piston and Diamond_Sword

GUI Security Improvements

RulesPlugin now protects GUI items much more aggressively. * GUI items are automatically detected and removed if they somehow leave the menu * Added automatic cleanup for leaked GUI items * Protection covers desyncs, lag, creative interactions, drag actions and inventory edge cases

Improved Configuration Handling

* config.yml is now validated before changes are applied * Invalid YAML configurations are no longer silently accepted * Material names are normalized automatically when possible * Safer reload process for /rules reload

Compatibility

* Compatible with Minecraft 26.1.x * Compatible with Paper * Compatible with Spigot * Compatible with Bukkit * Reduced dependency on Paper-specific APIs

RulesPlugin v1.3.0 — Rules Rework & Critical Fix

This update fixes a critical issue affecting existing servers and players who joined before the plugin was installed or before rules were changed.

Fixed

- Fixed an issue where existing players were unable to see the Rules GUI on join - Fixed cases where the server owner / OP was not prompted to accept the rules - Fixed the Rules GUI not opening when `data.yml` was empty or inconsistent

New System — Rules Versioning

RulesPlugin now uses a rules version (hash) generated from the current config.yml. - If the rules are modified and the plugin is reloaded, all players are required to re-accept the rules - Guarantees that players always accept the latest version of the rules - No manual resets, no log parsing, no hacks required

Improved Logic

The rules system now works correctly for: - New players - Existing players - Server owners / OPs Everything is handled automatically and reliably. ---

Compatibility

- Fully compatible with Paper / Spigot 1.21.x - Backwards compatible with existing configurations - No config changes required (optional improvements only)
