special attention needed --- ## Bug Fixes ### Mobs not spawning in BSkyBlock worlds [[PR #541](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/pull/541)] by @gochi9 The
ChunkGeneratorwas not overridingshouldGenerateMobs(), which defaults tofalsein the Bukkit API. This silently suppressed vanilla mob spawning in all BSkyBlock-generated worlds. The method now correctly returnstrue, restoring normal mob spawn behaviour. ### Water animals (fish, squid) not spawning naturally [[PR #537](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/pull/537)] Fixes [BentoBox #2593](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BentoBox/issues/2593) Fish and squid stopped spawning naturally in BSkyBlock worlds after the 1.21 platform migration. The fix resolves the underlying world generator issue that was preventing water animal spawn conditions from being met. --- ## Other Improvements *Migrate chunk generator to
generateNoise()+BiomeProviderAPI, replacing the deprecatedgenerateChunkData()+BiomeGridapproach used since older Paper versions [[commit 32152b6](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/commit/32152b6)] *Update BentoBox API dependency from 2.7.1 to 3.13.0 [[commit 407b483](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/commit/407b483)] *
Migrate all locale sign text from legacy
&ccolor codes to MiniMessage format across 17 language files * Update CI to build on JDK 21 and migrate test stack to JUnit 5 + MockBukkit [[PR #549](https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/pull/549)] --- ## What's Changed *Fix mob spawning in BSkyBlock worlds by @gochi9 in https://github.com/BentoBoxWorld/BSkyBlock/pull/541 *

1.19.1BSkyBlock for BentoBox 1.19.1Oct 11, 2025 This release fixes an issue in new world creation where water creatures were not spawning naturally because the FLAT type of world height of the world became -63, i.e., one block above -64. Unfortunately, this fix doesn't change existing worlds. It can only affect new worlds.To fix current worlds
Use are your own risk! Take a backup copy of your world beforehand You need to edit or replace the level.dat file in thebskyblock_worldfolder. The simple approach is to copy alevel.datfile from a generic world and paste over it, e.g. theworldfolder's copy. Then restart the server, and it should work. Alternatively, if you have a NBT editor, then you can change the level.dat file of the world NBT tags to look like this:  Move or remove the blueprints folder BentoBox/addons/BSkyBlock/blueprints so that updated ones can be saved from the Jar. 1. Restart the server 1. You should be good to go!Changelog
