WorldRules

[1.3.0] - 2026-06-23

Added

Granular block interaction

• New per-block interact categories, replacing the single open_doors catch-all:
  • use_doors — doors, trapdoors, fence gates
  • use_buttons — buttons
  • use_levers — levers
  • use_pressure_plates — pressure plates (stepping)
  • use_containers — chests, barrels, shulker boxes, hoppers, droppers, and other inventory blocks
  • use_workstations — crafting table, furnaces, anvils, enchanting/brewing, grindstone, smithing table, beacon, bell, and other utility blocks
• utilities umbrella keyword that flips all six block-interaction categories at once — like all, but scoped to blocks. Works globally, per-player, and per-team:
  • /worldrules interact utilities <true|false> [player]
  • /worldrules interact team <name> utilities <true|false>

Chat broadcast & visibility controls

• /worldrules chat join_messages <true|false> — show/hide join broadcasts (default true).
• /worldrules chat leave_messages <true|false> — show/hide leave broadcasts (default true).
• /worldrules chat death_messages <true|false> — show/hide death broadcasts (default true).
• /worldrules chat command_messages <true|false> — toggles command-execution feedback via the logAdminCommands gamerule across all worlds (default false, matching vanilla where non-ops never see command feedback). Re-applied on enable and on /worldrules reload.
• /worldrules chat see_chat <true|false> [player] — global and per-player. When false for a player, they can neither send chat nor see other players' chat. Chat-bypass players always retain access.
• /worldrules chat info now also reports join/leave/death/command message states and the global + per-player see_chat settings.
• Tab completion and editable config.yml messages for all of the above.

Changed

• Right-click handling now routes each block to its specific category. Workstations are checked before the generic inventory-holder test, since furnaces and similar blocks also hold inventories.
• chat-usage, interact-usage, and the /worldrules help screen updated to list the new sub-commands.

Persistence

• rules.yml gains chat.join-messages, chat.leave-messages, chat.death-messages, chat.command-messages, and chat.see-chat.global / chat.see-chat.players.<uuid>.

⚠️ Breaking / migration

• The open_doors category was removed in favour of the granular use_* categories. Any existing rules.yml entries under open_doors are ignored on load, so previously locked doors/containers/workstations revert to their defaults — re-apply the desired state with the new commands once after updating.

Notes

• command_messages controls the vanilla op broadcast only; it does not make non-op players see command executions.
• see_chat filters player chat. System, join/leave/death, and plugin messages are broadcast all-or-nothing and are not hidden per viewer.
