SignEdit for Bukkit

Pre-Release Notes

Since Previous Pre-Release

• Initial support for waxed signs
• SignEdit for Bukkit now takes over the native Minecraft sign editor for unwaxed signs in Minecraft 1.20+.
• Fixed sending side data when firing SignChangeEvent in the validation phase

Known Issues

• /sign undo and /sign redo treat waxed signs as unwaxed signs.
• When using the Spigot server, /sign ui edits might not be registered. This might be due to a bug in Spigot's SignChangeEvent handling. Either switch to PaperMC or use /sign set as a workaround.
• When using /sign ui and any existing line begins with a formatting code and there are no other formatting codes on the line, SignEdit for Bukkit may incorrectly say "Sign edit forbidden by policy or other plugin" or "Modified by another plugin". This might be a compatibility issue with PaperMC's mapping of text components to formatting codes.

Added

• Support for Minecraft 1.20 sign sides (front and back)
• On Minecraft 1.20+, opening an editable sign (sign without honeycomb wax) by right-click will open a sign editor handled by this plugin.
• (Minecraft 1.20+ only) /sign wax and /sign unwax commands and permissions to apply and remove honeycomb wax from signs, respectively
• New locale strings:
  • wax_removed – Completed /sign unwax action
  • wax_applied – Completed /sign wax action
  • bypass_wax_before – Warning before a /sign text change that wax will be removed
  • bypass_wax_after – Warning after a /sign text change that wax was reapplied
  • bypass_wax_cannot_rewax – Warning after a /sign text change that wax was not reapplied because the player lacks permission to /sign wax
  • unwax_sign – /sign unwax pending action description
  • wax_sign – /sign wax pending action description
  • forbidden_waxed_sign_edit – Error when attempting to edit a waxed sign without permission to run /sign unwax

Changed

• The documentation of /sign undo and /sign redo has been clarified to indicate that they affect only the sign text, not the dyes or wax applied to the sign.

Fixed

• Failure and error when editing hanging signs and wall hanging signs from Minecraft 1.20 when using compatibility.edit-validation: Extra (#34)

  !/se paste with SignEdit for Bukkit v1.13.9

• java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid page number (1) when using compatibility.sign-ui: EditableBook and saving a blank book

Under the Hood

• Tacked on some adapters to make the plugin compatible with Bukkit 1.20 org.bukkit.block.sign.SignSide
• Decreased the right-click event handling priority to the lowest level to avoid interfering with other plugins that handle right-click events on signs
• Permission processing moved from SignCommand.permitted(Player, String) to InteractionCommand.isPermitted()
• SignText.signChanged() renamed to SignText.signTextChanged() as part of clarification that only text changes count in /sign undo and /sign redo
• Gradle 9.0 compatibility:
  • Replaced Gradle 8.2 deprecations with recommended replacements
  • Updated Gradle to version 8.2-rc-2
  • Added JDK toolchain resolver plugin to download Java 1.8
• Skip ProGuard for development builds
• Eliminated the dependency on commons-lang:commons-lang
