GriefPrevention3D v18.0.5

Wiki: GriefPrevention3D Wiki

Highlights

• 1.8.8 Runtime Error Fixes — Fixed several runtime errors that occurred when running the plugin on Minecraft 1.8.8 servers with Java 11+.
• Expanded PvP Configuration — Added config options to allow container access and respawn anchor usage during PvP combat.
• AFK Accrual Bypass Permission — Added permission to bypass AFK checks for claim block accrual.
• Claim Tool Bypass Permission — Added permission to allow creating claims via command without holding the modification tool.

1.8.8 Compatibility

• Fixed NoSuchMethodError: EntityExplodeEvent.getExplosionResult() — Added compatibility methods in CompatUtil to safely access explosion results, which don't exist in 1.8.8.
• Fixed NoClassDefFoundError: org.bukkit.event.block.BlockExplodeEvent — Created separate BlockExplodeEventHandler with conditional registration, as this event doesn't exist in 1.8.8 Spigot.
• Fixed NoClassDefFoundError: org.bukkit.event.entity.ItemMergeEvent — Created separate ItemMergeEventHandler with conditional registration, as this event doesn't exist in 1.8.8 Spigot.
• Fixed NoSuchMethodError: PlayerInventory.getItemInMainHand() — Replaced direct calls with CompatUtil.getItemInMainHand() throughout the codebase for 1.8.8 compatibility.

Netty Compatibility

• Note: PaperSpigot 1.8.8 has incompatible Netty epoll transport with Java 11+. Users experiencing "Unable to access address of buffer" errors should:
  • Switch to regular Spigot 1.8.8 (recommended), or
  • Add -Dio.netty.transport.noNative=true JVM flag (may not work on all PaperSpigot builds)

New Config Options

Two new options under GriefPrevention.PvP in config.yml:

Key	Default	Effect
AllowContainerAccess	false	When true, players can access containers (chests, shulker boxes, etc.) during PvP combat.
AllowRespawnAnchor	false	When true, players can use respawn anchors during PvP combat.

Existing servers will pick up the defaults on first load and have the keys persisted to config.yml automatically.

New Permissions

Permission	Default	Effect
griefprevention.accruals.afkbypass	op	Bypasses the AFK check for claim block accrual. Players with this permission will accrue claim blocks even if they are idle.
griefprevention.accruals	true	Controls whether a player receives claim blocks at the configured hourly rate when not AFK. Negating this permission disables accruals entirely.
griefprevention.createclaims.toolbypass	true	Bypasses the need to hold the modification tool when creating claims via command.

Compatibility

Category	Support
Minecraft Versions	1.8.8 -> 26.1.x
Minimum Java	Java 11
Bukkit API Target	1.13

Migration

No data migration is required.

Existing claims, configs, and player data remain compatible.
