SpawnElytra v2.6.0 - Custom Areas & Flight Timer Update

Major Changes

- 🗺️ In-game area setup - Draw a custom rectangular spawn area or move its center without editing a single coordinate by hand - ⏱️ Max flight duration - Optional time limit with a boss bar/title countdown, closes the old infinite-flight exploit - 💬 messages.yml - Every player-facing message is now customizable in its own file

What's New

#### New Features - `/spawnelytra setup`: Stand at two corners, run pos1/pos2/save, done - a live particle preview shows you the box as you set it up, and a gold flash confirms it saved - `/spawnelytra center [reset]`: Set a custom flight-area center independent of the vanilla world spawn - Rectangular spawn areas: spawnAreaMode: rectangle as an alternative to the radius, with an automatic square fallback sized to spawnRadius if you don't set up a custom box - `/spawnelytra visualize [seconds]`: Outlines the current area (circle, sphere, or box wireframe) with particles - `maxFlightDuration`: Force-land players after N seconds, no fall damage, with a boss bar and last-3-seconds title countdown (sounds and each display element are individually toggleable) - Multiple boosts per flight: totalBoosts + boostToBoostCooldown, with an actionbar countdown between boosts - `messages.yml`: Boost/activation/flight-timer text, with & color codes and %key%/%count%/%total%/%seconds% placeholders #### Enhancements - disableFireworksInSpawnElytra blocks firework-rocket boosting while using the virtual elytra (real elytras unaffected) - disableInAdventure optionally disables flight in Adventure mode; Creative is always excluded now (it has its own native flight) - /spawnelytra info reports the actually active area mode and center, since area.yml can silently take priority over config.yml - config.yml reorganized (Quick Start / Boost Limits / Flight Duration / Advanced Settings) so common options aren't buried under everything else #### Bug Fixes - Permissions did nothing: spawnelytra.use/.useboost were declared but never actually checked in code - Reload left stale state: /spawnelytra reload never unregistered the previous listener, causing duplicate event handling and resetting Bedrock-player detection to empty for anyone already connected - Flight could get stuck on: players already granted flight before a reload were never re-tracked, so leaving the spawn area afterward didn't revoke it - Creative/Spectator flight got disabled: switching modes mid-flight could strip native flight from modes that manage their own, independent of this plugin - Firework boost bypass: rockets could still boost players using the virtual elytra even with the block option on - Bedrock chestplate backups now live on the player's own data instead of a separate JSON file

Installation

Download SpawnElytra-2.6.0.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

Upgrading

Your existing config.yml keeps working - new options fall back to sensible defaults, and a fresh messages.yml is created automatically on first start.

Important Notes

The message key (Java activation text) moved out of config.yml into messages.yml as javaActivation. If you'd customized it, copy your text over - the old key in config.yml is no longer read.

Why This Update?

- Set up a custom spawn area entirely in-game, no coordinate math - Optional flight-time cap for servers that don't want players gliding forever - Every message is now yours to rewrite - Drop-in upgrade - your existing config keeps working

SpawnElytra v2.5.2 - Bug Fix Release

Sorry for the issues introduced in v2.5.1! This release fixes a Paper 1.21.11 startup crash and two gaps in the Bedrock virtual elytra protection.

What's Changed

#### Paper 1.21.11 Startup Fix * Fixed NullPointerException on startup when running Paper 1.21.11 * Paper 1.21.11 changed getConfig() to call the overridden reloadConfig() before DataManager was initialized — this is now guarded correctly * Plugin now enables cleanly on Paper 1.21.11 without crashing #### Bedrock Elytra Item Protection * Elytra items in the inventory could previously displace the virtual elytra mid-flight — this is now blocked Previously only `_CHESTPLATE` items were protected; elytra items are now included in all three inventory guards: * Direct clicks on the chestplate armor slot (slot 38) * MOVE_TO_OTHER_INVENTORY / auto-equip actions * Cursor placement onto the armor slot #### Bedrock Hotbar Right-click Protection Right-clicking a chestplate or elytra in the hotbar* (with inventory closed) while flying no longer auto-equips it to the armor slot * This path was previously unhandled — it now cancels via PlayerInteractEvent

Installation

Download SpawnElytra-2.5.2.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

Upgrading

Drop-in update from v2.5.1 or v2.5.0 — no configuration changes required*

SpawnElytra v2.5.1 - Bedrock Fix & Quality of Life

A Bedrock inventory fix, a built-in update checker, and a new debug mode config option.

What's Changed

#### Bedrock Elytra Inventory Fix * Bedrock players could previously right-click or shift-click a chestplate from their inventory to displace the virtual elytra mid-flight — this is now blocked * Three paths are now prevented for flying Bedrock players: * Direct clicks on the chestplate armor slot (slot 38) `MOVE_TO_OTHER_INVENTORY` / auto-equip actions on any `_CHESTPLATE` item * Cursor placement of a chestplate onto the armor slot #### Built-in Update Checker * Plugin now checks [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/plugin/spawnelytra) for updates asynchronously on startup If an update is available: logged to console and sent to the first op to join* after each restart * Can be disabled via checkForUpdates: false in config.yml #### Debug Mode * Added debugMode: false config option * When false (default): only important messages are logged — no more spam from save/load cycles * When true: verbose save/load logging is restored (useful for troubleshooting)

Installation

Download SpawnElytra-2.5.1.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

Upgrading

Drop-in update from v2.5.0 — no need to delete your config* * New config keys (checkForUpdates, debugMode) default to safe values if missing * To use them, add to your config.yml:

checkForUpdates: true
debugMode: false

Or simply delete your config and let the plugin regenerate it with all options included.

SpawnElytra v2.5.0 - Broader Compatibility

This update restores compatibility with older server versions and adds a new config option for the spawn radius.

What's Changed

#### Broader Version Support Plugin now works on 1.20.1 and all newer versions* including 26.1.x, 26.2.x and beyond * Previously was locked to 26.1.x only — this is now fixed #### New Config Option: ignoreYInSpawnRadius * Added ignoreYInSpawnRadius to config.yml * When false (default): uses full 3D distance from spawn — players high above spawn leave the radius sooner * When true: only horizontal distance (X/Z) is checked — players can fly as high as they want while staying in the radius

Installation

Download SpawnElytra-2.5.0.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

Upgrading

Drop-in update from v2.4.2 — no need to delete your config* * If ignoreYInSpawnRadius is missing from your config, the plugin defaults to false (old behavior) * To use the new option, add this line to your config.yml:

ignoreYInSpawnRadius: false

Or simply delete your config and let the plugin regenerate it with all new options included.
