betterGraveStones 2.7.2

This version includes several technical improvements, bug fixes, and new optional Locator Bar features.

Added

• Optional support for the vanilla Locator Bar on Minecraft/Paper 1.21.6+
• Grave waypoints can optionally be shown in the Locator Bar
• Reserved grave waypoint colors:
  • Gray for normal grave markers
  • Gold for nearby/own grave markers
• Player waypoints can optionally use UUID-based colors
• Optional animated UUID color gradients for player waypoints
• Admins can toggle whether they want to see all grave waypoints
• Stored offline players can now be used and tab-completed in commands

Changed

• Normal players should only see their own graves by default
• Admin visibility for all graves is optional and not permanently enabled
• Locator Bar command output can now be suppressed through the config
• MySQL connection handling is now more robust against idle timeouts
• Storage and plugin lifecycle handling has been cleaned up
• Internal code structure has been cleaned up and made more stable

Fixed

• MySQL connections being closed after long idle periods
• Tab completion issues with offline players
• JOML/Vector3f export issues
• Paper/Bukkit gamerule compatibility issues
• Vanilla command execution issues caused by custom silent command senders
• Several smaller Locator Bar and marker-related issues

Notes

The Locator Bar feature is optional and should only be enabled on supported Minecraft/Paper versions.

For grave waypoint privacy, strictVisibility is available. Since vanilla waypoints do not support true per-player visibility, the plugin has to limit visibility through the global waypoint transmit range. With very high ranges such as 10000, the privacy logic may intentionally hide grave waypoints to prevent other players from seeing them.

Recommended setting for private grave waypoints:

locatorBar:
  graves:
    strictVisibility: true
    transmitRange: 256
