⭐ New features!

⚔️ Fight mode

Now players that have fight mode enabled can fight with others that also have fight mode enabled. Just hold the sword for 5 seconds!

# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
# | FIGHT MODE                               |
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

  # Delay in seconds before the fight mode gets toggled.
  hold_delay:
    # The sword should be held for this amount of time to activate the fight mode.
    activate: 5
    # Any other item that isn't the sword should be held for this amount of time to deactivate the fight mode.

  # The item that will toggle the fight mode and also the sword used to fight.
  item:
    material: NETHERITE_SWORD
    amount: 1
    unbreakable: true
    display_name: "<red>Fight Mode <gray>(Hold to toggle)"
    lore:
      - "<dark_gray>» <gray>Hold for 5 seconds to toggle the fight mode!"

🎶 Song player

Now you can play songs in .nbs format using NoteBlockAPI (REQUIRED TO USE THIS FEATURE). Just drop them in your songs/ folder and they will play automatically!

You will need the following config.yml section to make this work:

# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
# | SONG PLAYER                             |
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

# Plays music through noteblocks using NoteBlock API. Music files are stored in nbs format inside "Akropolis/music"
# directory.
song_player:
  # Should we play music in the lobby?
  enabled: false

  # There are 2 types of song players:
  # - RADIO: plays songs for all players no matter where they are.
  # - POSITION: play songs for all added players in specified range from specified point.
  type: "RADIO"

  # Modify the range where a song is played while using POSITION song player.
  # Use the "/akro sp setpos" command to set the position of the song player.
  distance: 16

  # Set the volume of the song player.
  volume: 85

  # Fade effect duration in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second).
  fade:
    in: 20
    out: 20

There is also two new commands available for this new feature (akropolis.command.songplayer):

• akro sp setpos - To set the position of the POSITION song player.
• akro sp skip - To skip the current song.

😎 Emojis

Give your chat a little more fun with emojis!

Emojis are restricted to chat groups, so you will need to enable that feature to make them work. You can add a list of emoticons that will be replaced by the emoji specified. If you specify a list of emojis, a random one will be chosen.

  default:
    priority: 0
    format: "<hover:show_text:'<rainbow>You can also use hover here!'><papi:luckperms_prefix></hover> <gray><player> <dark_gray>» <gray><message>"
    # Just in case you want to slow down your players a little.
    cooldown:
      time: 3 # Time is in seconds.
      message: "<gold><b>Akropolis <reset><dark_gray>|| <red>Please wait <yellow><time>s <red>before talking again!"
    # Add all the emojis you want here.
    emojis:
      smile:
        # ":)" or ":smile:" will be replaced by "<yellow>😀".
        emoticon: [":)", ":smile:"]
        emoji: "<yellow>😀<reset>"
      sunglasses:
        emoticon: ["B)", ":sunglasses:"]
        emoji: "<yellow>😎<reset>"
      heart:
        emoticon: ["<3", ":heart:"]
        emoji: "<red>❤<reset>"

More examples can be found in the config.yml.

🖼️ Custom tooltip style

You can modify the style of tooltips of certain items using a texture pack! Just add the option tooltip_style: <style_name> to the item you want to modify.

Also added...

• Support from 1.21.6 to 1.21.8 (1.21.5 and below is no longer supported sadly).
• The possibility to use some types of placeholders inside the title of GUIs and boss bars.
• Support for the new custom model data format (here is a brief example).
  • If the implementation can be improved, please, let me know as I don't know much about custom model data.
• Support for placeholders in all actions where is possible!
• An option to disable inventory drop on death.
  • Just add disable_inventory_drop: true to your world_settings (default is true).
• An option to set a priority to each chat group, so you can choose which chat group overrides another (highest priority overrides others).
  • Add priority: <number> below the group you want to modify as shown here.

Fixed

• Barriers not being able to be used as an item (@Fritx22).
• Double jump not working correctly on certain cases (@Fritx22).
• HIDE_ATTRIBUTES flag not working (@Fritx22).
• Nametag format being shown in disabled worlds.

Notes

I did my best testing this version, as it contains many new features. If I did miss any bug, please, let me know so I can fix it ASAP.

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.8.1..v1.9.0

Added

• Support for every 1.21 version by checking if we should use generic.max_health or max_health attribute, as Mojang changed this without apparent reason and was one of the only reasons the plugin didn't work properly in other versions.

Fixed

• A potential bug when creating the set of interactable materials.

Notes

As always it is recommended to test this plugin before using it in production, as bugs may rise even if I test the plugin before.

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.8.0..v1.8.1

⭐ New feature!

Now all of your hotbar items can have a custom cooldown!

If you want to use this new feature, just add cooldown: <time in seconds> to any item, like in the example shown below:

  items:
    server_selector:
      material: NETHER_STAR
      amount: 1
      slot: 4
      cooldown: 10 # seconds
      display_name: "<aqua>Server Selector <gray>(Right-Click)"
      lore:
        - "<dark_gray>» <gray>Right click to open the server selector!"
      actions:
        - "[MENU] serverselector"

Also added...

• The possibility to use legacy chat decorations inside of the chat (with the & character) (#27).

Fixed

• Actions not working correctly when disconnecting from a disabled world and then reconnecting in a enabled world (#24).

Notes

It is recommended to test this plugin before using it in production, as it can introduce new bugs even if it was tested by us before releasing.

Fixed

• Pale garden blocks and chest boats not being protected from interaction (#26).

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.7.0..v1.7.1

⭐ New features!

Now you can toggle the custom hotbar from Akropolis with a single command (/akro hotbar)! This way you can build your lobby without any distraction in your inventory. To use this command you will need the permission akropolis.command.hotbar and if you want to customize the messages for it, just add the following lines to your messages.yml file:

Messages:
  HOTBAR:
    ENABLE: "<prefix> <gray>You have <yellow>enabled <gray>the hotbar items."
    DISABLE: "<prefix> <gray>You have <yellow>disabled <gray>the hotbar items."

  # The rest of you messages configuration...

Also, players can now be hidden by default when you join the server. To modify this behavior, just add the following lines to your config.yml:

join_settings:
  # Decide whether players will be hidden on join or not
  players_hidden: false

  # The rest of your player join settings...

Also added...

• Support for Paper 1.21.3/1.21.4 (didn't test in 1.21.2) (#23).

Fixed

• Chat groups not working correctly when a user has the * permission.

⭐ New feature!

Now you can display announcements in the player's screen using a boss bar!

If you want to use this new feature, just copy the configuration snippet below!

boss_bar_announcements:
  # Should the boss bar announcements' system be enabled?
  enabled: false

  # Delay sending boss bar announcements (in seconds).
  delay: 60

  # Choose how the boss bar looks.
  overlay:
    # Decide if the boss bar is continuous or split into segments.
    # Valid options: PROGRESS, NOTCHED_6, NOTCHED_10, NOTCHED_12, NOTCHED_20
    type: "PROGRESS"
    # The amount of boss bar that's filled up. A number in the interval [0, 1].
    progress: 1.0

  sound:
    enabled: false
    value: BLOCK_NOTE_BLOCK_PLING
    volume: 1.0
    pitch: 1.0

  announcements:
    - "<blue><b>THIS SERVER USES AKROPOLIS"
    - "<gold><b>NOW WITH BOSS BAR ANNOUNCEMENTS!"
    - "<gradient:green:blue><b>MINIMESSAGE SUPPORT!"

Also added...

• A new option to disable the chat format, as you can see here (#19).
• A bunch of new materials to protect from interaction! If you notice a block that's not protected, please open an issue (#18).
• Support for custom model data! Just insert it along the other options of your item, like custom_model_data: <value> (#12).
• Complete support for 1.21.1 (this also means we dropped 1.20 support completely).
• A way to use the player's own head inside menus consistently across the plugin, just use the <player> placeholder inside of the username key, like this: username: <player>.

Fixed

• MiniMessage format not being applied sometimes in placeholders (#8).
• Messages being send even when they are empty (the plugin sent an empty message).

Notes

It is recommended to test this plugin before using it in production, as it can introduce new bugs even if it was tested by us before releasing.

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.5.3..v1.6.0

Fixed

• Invalid enchantment name (for 1.20.6 and 1.21 compatibility), thank you @aivruu!
• Warning when using reflection for base64 heads, now it uses the API properly, thanks @Call4han!
• Use reflection to get top inventory (for 1.21 compatibility), it is an ugly solution but it will be dropped as soon as we drop 1.20.6 support (which will be in the next version).

Notes

It is recommended to test this plugin before using it in production, as it can introduce new bugs even if it was tested by us before releasing. The next update will drop 1.20.6 support and will be compiled against Java 21, so make sure to upgrade!

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Fixed

• Fixed launchpad not working properly under certain conditions. Thank you @Fritx22!

Added

• Akropolis is now compatible with 1.20.4.

Added

Changes

• A lot of libraries have been updated.

Notes

Sorry for the delay, I've been trying to release this version since a long time, but I always forget to do so. It is recommended to test this plugin before using it in production, as it can contains bugs even if there are almost zero changes.

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.4.0..v1.5.0

Added

• Akropolis is now compatible with 1.20.1!
• Custom commands now can be tab-completed.

Changes

• Now Akropolis is a explicitly a Paper plugin, by making use of the new paper-plugin.yml and a plugin loader to download some of its dependencies (thus reducing the JAR size).
• The way in which custom commands work changed internally, allowing them to have the same behavior of a normal command and simplified the code that manages them.
• Some dependencies have been updated!

Fixed

• Holograms are now saved across plugin reloads!
• The title action time arguments are now optional, as said in the examples from the configuration.

Notes

I've tested this release a lot more than others, because it changes a lot of things internally. Even so, you should test the plugin before using it in production.

If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.3.1..v1.4.0

Fixed

• Now you can disable chat groups by denying the akropolis.chat.group.default permission.
• Now we don't send a message in a world protection event if the message is configured to be empty. This also made other messages send an empty message if empty, so I will try to find a better solution for this later.

Notes

As always, please test the plugin before using it in a production server. If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.3.0..v1.3.1

BREAKING CHANGES

• Added a brand new feature called chat groups, that allows you to create different formats for your chat depending in the permissions your players have. If you don't add the new configuration section to your config.yml, every time you chat, you will get a message saying "No format". You can find the new configuration section right here.

Added

• Additional to those big breaking changes, now Akropolis is compatible with MiniPlaceholders by @4drian3d (#4).

Notes

I also cleaned up a little the mess that I made after adding the PAPI tag, but that isn't as important as testing the plugin before using it in a production server. If you find a bug don't forget to report it in the issues page.

Full changelog: v1.2.1..v1.3.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• Now PAPI placeholders can only be used by using the custom tag <papi:placeholder> (e.g. <papi:localtime_time>).

Fixed
