CaptureZones

Version 1.1.2 - [2026-02-27]

Commands & UX

• Consolidated admin command routing under /cap admin ... and updated help output to match.
• Added /cap tp [zone_id] teleport flow for active captures:
  • Single active zone: direct teleport.
  • Multiple active zones: choose a target zone.
• /cap tp is now fully gated by settings.capture-teleport-enabled:
  • Hidden from help/tab-complete when disabled.
  • Returns a disabled message if used while off.
• Added KOTH admin control and assignment flow:
  • /cap admin koth <start|stop|status|assign|unassign|zones>
  • Assigned-zone pool is stored in koth.activation.zones.
• /cap admin koth start now defaults to assigned KOTH zones only, and skips unassigned zones if explicitly passed.
• Removed legacy command surface that is no longer part of gameplay/admin flow:
  • /cap settype
  • /cap test
  • /cap testall
  • /cap protectchunk

Configuration & Migration

• Added explicit concurrent capture controls:
  • settings.capture-concurrency.allow-multiple-zones
  • settings.capture-concurrency.max-active-zones
• Added bossbar visibility radius control:
  • settings.bossbar-visibility-radius-chunks
• Added global reinforcement spawn throttle:
  • reinforcements.spawn-rate.global-max-per-tick
• Enforced settings.max-capture-points at zone creation time so over-limit creations are blocked cleanly.
• Removed unused global config sections that are now handled per-zone or deprecated:
  • anti-exploit
  • point_types
  • point-type-defaults
  • worldguard
• Clarified and separated schema-repair modes:
  • /cap admin migrate = non-destructive migration for plugin-owned data/config files (add/fix missing or invalid schema paths).
  • /cap admin repair = same non-destructive behavior as migrate (alias for safe schema repair).

KOTH

• Added optional KOTH subsystem with:
  • Scheduler (koth.schedule.*)
  • Zone selection modes (koth.activation.selection-mode)
  • Reward routing (koth.rewards.*)
• Added command-based KOTH zone assignment that writes back to config (assign / unassign).
• KOTH hold radius logic is square-based.
• Added temporary surface outline rendering during active KOTH (red concrete ring around hold radius) with full block restoration on end/stop.
• Dynmap/BlueMap info windows now switch to KOTH-specific details while a zone is active, then revert to normal zone view.
• Added optional KOTH-specific hologram line templates (koth.hologram.*).

Zone Gameplay & Reinforcements

• Added per-zone keep-inventory setting for active captures:
  • capture.capture.keep-inventory-on-death
  • Keeps inventory/XP and suppresses drops when enabled for that zone.
• Death cancellation messaging now supports localized non-player killer labels in lang/en.json:
  • Reinforcements
  • Environment
  • Unknown
• Added reinforcement spawn Y controls for better indoor/multi-level behavior:
  • reinforcements.spawn-location.y-mode (SURFACE, ZONE_CENTER, ORIGIN_PLAYER, CLAMPED)
  • reinforcements.spawn-location.clamp-range

Fixes

• Fixed missing item-reward editor open message path by supporting both key styles:
  • messages.zoneconfig-itemrewards-opened
  • messages.zoneconfig-itemrewards.opened

Performance & Stability

• Major backend optimization for servers with many active zones.
• Smarter zone lookup/player scanning to reduce unnecessary checks.
• Boundary particles and holograms now pause/short-circuit when nobody is close enough to see them.
• Reload/shutdown cleanup was hardened to prevent stale tasks, bossbars, markers, and holograms.
• Upgrade migration is safer: missing config keys are auto-added without overwriting existing server values.

Zones & Capturing

• Added full cuboid zone support.
• Added a cuboid selector tool workflow for admins to pick corners more easily during zone creation.
• Added optional auto-capture when entering a zone (with anti-spam debounce).
• Capture ownership now supports players, towns, or nations.
• Added contested capture state when competing owner groups are inside the same zone.
• Added optional grace timer before capture is cancelled/reset after attackers leave.
• Added per-zone capture cooldowns and anti-instant-recapture options.
• Added optional same-town/same-nation recapture prevention rules.
• Force-capture now applies the same cooldown/lock behavior as normal successful captures.
• Beacon beam now reflects phase color (yellow in preparation, red in active capture).

Rewards, Progress & Combat Flow

• Expanded reinforcement behavior options (wave scaling, per-wave caps, spawn tuning, targeting modes).
• Added configurable capture speed modifiers.
• Added modern item rewards (including custom items) with inventory-full handling options.
• Added permission-based economy reward modifiers.
• Added permission grant rewards (temporary or permanent).
• Expanded bossbar/actionbar controls for normal, contested, and grace states.

Admin & Configuration

• Per-zone override behavior is now clearer and more reliable.
• Zone config tab completion now suggests a much broader set of settable paths.
• Added in-game item reward editor GUI (/capturezones zoneconfig <zone> itemrewards).
• New zone config files are cleaner: template banner text is no longer copied into every zone file.
• Legacy data folder migration is automatic (plugins/TownyCapture -> plugins/CaptureZones).

Integrations

• Towny integration is now optional (standalone usage is supported).
• PlaceholderAPI coverage is much more complete for zone/global/player state.

Fixes

• Fixed capture/preparation leave behavior that could continue in some cases.
• Improved moved-too-far cancel messaging to support player-name output.
• Fixed zone-template migration edge cases on existing servers.
• Dynmap and BlueMap marker/icon behavior is fixed.
