EzFlyTime

This release is a major overhaul of EzFlyTime. Nearly every system has been rewritten or significantly extended. Existing config.yml and message files will need to be updated - delete them and let the plugin regenerate defaults, then re-apply your customisations.

Added

• TeamsAPI integration (optional soft dependency) - integrates with TeamsAPI when the plugin is present:
  • Registers a /f fly subcommand in the team plugin's command tree so players can toggle EzFlyTime flight from within their team commands.
  • New teams.claimed-chunks-only config option (default false): when enabled, EzFlyTime-managed flight is restricted to the player's own team-claimed chunks. Entering an unclaimed or enemy chunk mid-flight automatically lands the player.
  • New teams.enabled config toggle to disable the integration entirely.
  • New permission ezflytime.teams.fly.bypass (default false): exempts a player from the claimed-chunks-only restriction.
  • New message keys: teams-no-fly-unclaimed, teams-fly-zone-left, teams-not-in-team (all 8 locales).
• Timed flight system - players now have a flight-time balance instead of unlimited flight. The remaining time counts down live and is shown in a boss bar above the screen.
• Physical flight vouchers - voucher items are backed by Persistent Data Container (PDC) metadata and carry a unique identifier, making each item traceable and preventing duplication exploits.
• In-game voucher shop GUI - players open the shop with /flytime and purchase vouchers directly using Vault economy currency. The GUI is fully configurable in voucher-gui.yml (title, slots, items, sounds, prices).
• Configurable commands on voucher buy / use - add on-buy-commands and on-use-commands to any voucher in config.yml to run console or player commands automatically. Supports placeholders: {player}, {voucher}, {voucher_name}, {duration_seconds}, {amount}.
• Particle trail shop - players can unlock and equip particle effects during flight. The shop and selection GUI are configured in particle-shop-gui.yml and particles.yml.
• Auto-flight reward system - grant flight time automatically on a timer. Rewards can be flat, permission-based (rank groups), or tied to mcMMO skill level thresholds.
• Fuel display mode - optionally show remaining flight as a percentage fuel bar instead of a time value (display.flytime-mode: fuel).
• MySQL storage backend - store flight-time data in a MySQL database for multi-server / BungeeCord setups alongside the default YAML backend.
• PlaceholderAPI expansion - use %ezflytime_time%, %ezflytime_seconds%, %ezflytime_minutes%, and %ezflytime_fuel% in any PlaceholderAPI-compatible plugin.
• Multilingual messages - built-in translations for English, Dutch, Spanish, French, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and German. Set language: in config.yml to switch instantly.
• Tab-complete permission gating - /flyvoucher tab completions now respect permissions: give is only suggested to players with ezflytime.give, and buy only to players with ezflytime.buy.
• /flytime top leaderboard command (permission ezflytime.top, default: true).
• Per-session flight cap - limit how long a single uninterrupted flight session can last (max-single-flight-seconds). A per-player bypass permission is available.
• Flight preservation across death - optionally keep or clear a player's remaining flight time when they die (preserve-on-death).
• Creative / Spectator bypass - players in Creative or Spectator mode can be configured to fly freely without consuming time.
• SpigotMC update checker - notifies online operators/admins when a new version is available. Configurable and can be disabled entirely.
• bStats metrics - anonymous usage statistics to help guide future development (opt-out supported via bStats global config).
• GitHub Pages documentation at https://ez-plugins.github.io/EzFlyTime/.

Changed

• /flytime with no arguments now opens the voucher shop GUI for all players who have the ezflytime.buy permission (default: true). Previously only server operators saw the shop; regular players received only a "remaining time" message.
• ezflytime.buy is now declared in plugin.yml with default: true, making the shop accessible to all players out of the box. Restrict it via your permission manager if needed.
• /fly and /flytime no longer operate independently of each other - both draw from and update the same flight-time balance.
• Admin time-management commands (give, set, remove) no longer send a duplicate notification to the target player. The command handler sends one message; FlyTimeManager is told notify=false.

Fixed

• Modrinth release workflow now lists vaultunlocked instead of vault as an optional dependency; Vault has no Modrinth listing whereas VaultUnlocked is the actively maintained fork.
• plugin.yml now includes both Vault and VaultUnlocked in softdepend so EzFlyTime loads correctly regardless of which economy provider is installed.
• /flyvoucher tab completions are now gated on sender permissions: give is only suggested to players with ezflytime.give and buy only to players with ezflytime.buy.
• Players without ezflytime.buy could never open the voucher shop GUI because the permission was used in code but not registered in plugin.yml, causing it to silently default to OP-only.
• Tab-complete for /flyvoucher suggested give and buy to every sender regardless of what they were actually allowed to do.
• Right-clicking a voucher during the 1-second anti-spam cooldown did not cancel the event, allowing the click to propagate to the server.
• Granting, setting, or removing flight time via admin commands sent two notifications to the target player (one from the command, one from FlyTimeManager).
