Overview of the new features

1.16.1 support and upgrading

This release adds support for 1.16.1. Upgrading is very simple and should mostly be automatic. 1.15.2 is still supported.

Most additions from Minecraft 1.16.x are covered by our protection. However, if you find any bug related to 1.16.x, please file it on our bug tracker so that we can squish the bug into oblivion as soon as possible.

Quick makeover to the Settings Panel

In this update, the Settings Panel received some well-deserved attention. As you can see, we have improved the "pagination system" by introducing a footer. Moreover, the "Settings" part of the Settings Panel now uses a Comparator instead of Command Block as its icon, which makes it feel less out-of-place.

We plan to iterate over the footer in the following releases by introducing, among other things, a search bar.

We also introduced a new config option in BentoBox, which allows you to define which Material you want to use as your "filler" item in our GUIs: panel.filler-material.

In the following image, I modified this config option to LIME_STAINED_GLASS_PANE:

API Updates

Here you'll find the key points of this update and the things you should do to update your addons to the new standards.

Addons

Database tables @Table annotation - to enable shorter database table names when using MySQL-like databases, use this annotation to give a specific name to your DataObject. Make sure it's unique and not something already used! If you are upgrading an addon, don't worry, BentoBox will automatically shift all the data in the old table to the new one.

FlagsManager now has a unregisterFlag(Flag) method that can be used to remove registered flags if, for example, your addon or plugin wishes to disable itself.
