1.9.0 - Snowflakes & Cornflakes

Description

BentoBox 1.9.0 is a major release. You will have to update your Gamemode Addons alongside this update.

What a slaughter! So many bugs being decapitated, what a delightful show! That's why there's so many bug heads hanging around! What a... uh oh. Wait, Halloween's already over? And November too? Really?!

Times are changing, and so BentoBox does. Indeed, BentoBox is launching on SpigotMC on Saturday 7th December at 6 PM GMT, after a 21-month-long development. As snow starts falling down around the North Hemisphere, things are getting serious. Take advantage of the various performance improvements we made in this release, as well as of the UX changes!

Releasing BentoBox on SpigotMC has been the long-term goal so far. Now that it is close, we are currently reviewing our workflow and next goals to take into account the new needs the servers have nowadays. We're eager to see you again in 2020!

Which Minecraft versions are compatible with this release?

This release is compiled against Spigot 1.14.4 and as such should be considered stable on 1.14.4 only.

However, due to the popular demand, we agreed to improve the backward compatibility for 1.13.2. Therefore, BentoBox 1.9.0 should be able to run on 1.13.2 with minor to no inconveniences.

Using 1.14.4 and having some issues with performances?

Tweaking config options...

BentoBox 1.6.0 introduced config options that are useful to tweak performance issues on island creation or deletion.

• island.paste-speed should be reduced to 64 if you are using the default Blueprints, 128 if you are using bigger ones. In accordance with #1051, the impact on performances can be significant, while the extra time required to create the islands is not felt by the player to be inconvenient.
• island.delete-speed should be kept as small as possible, yet it has been changed in this release from being per ticks to per seconds. Take that into account!

Using PaperSpigot?

This update introduces support of PaperLib. Basically, if you're using PaperSpigot, nearly all resource-intensive operations will be run asynchronously. This will keep your server's performances high, but might lengthen the time taken by some processes.
