EasyHomes v1.4.0 Changelog
The "Everything You Asked For" Update

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
​

What's New

◆ Premium GUI Redesign

• Complete layout overhaul - 21 homes per page in a centered 7-column grid with zero visual overlap
• Folder tab system replaces old category chips - one-click filtering with visual feedback
• Search bar (chat-based input) - filter homes by name, world, or description
• Sort toggle - cycle through Name (A→Z), Date (newest), Visits (popular), World
• Enhanced home lore: last visited timestamp, description preview, visit counter

◆ Context Menu - 8 Actions

• Rename - type a new name in chat, validated for uniqueness and format
• Edit Description - chat-based editor with right-click to clear
• Set Icon - hold any item, click, and it becomes the home's GUI icon
• Move to Folder - opens a graphical folder picker with inline folder creation
• Public / Private Toggle - one-click sharing with the server
• Teleport - full safety pipeline (combat, cooldown, economy, lava/fire detection)
• Delete - with optional Vault economy refund

◆ Folder System

• First-class folder manager GUI - view all folders with home counts
• Create folders via /sethome folder/name or inline in the GUI
• Graphical Folder Picker - move homes between folders with visual selection
• Delete folders - homes move to uncategorized, nothing is lost
• Help button explains the folder concept to new players

◆ Sound Design

• 8 distinct sounds for every action type - GUI click, teleport success, teleport cancel, home created, home deleted, combat tag, public toggle, warmup tick
• Tick sound during teleport warmup - configurable in config.yml
• All sounds have distinct pitch/volume for clear audio differentiation

◆ BossBar Teleport Progress

• Visual BossBar during warmup countdown with configurable color and style
• Progress decreases in real time - players see exactly when they'll teleport
• Automatically removed on completion, cancel, or disconnect

◆ Teleport Improvements

• Modern Particle API replaces deprecated Effect API
• cancel-on-jump and cancel-on-sneak now fully implemented
• cancel-on-damage with config toggle - stops teleport on any damage
• Safety check warns when home is in a dangerous location (configurable i18n)

◆ Admin Features

• /easyhomes status - live storage type, cache hit rate, total homes count
• /easyhomes migrate <from> <to> - migrate between YAML/MySQL/SQLite in one command
• /homefolders - registered with TabCompleter for folder names
• Admin panel now shows live cache hit rate percentage

Bug Fixes

• Critical: PublicHomesGUI teleport bypassed all safety checks - now routes through full TeleportManager pipeline
• Critical: I18n overwrote custom language files on every reload - now copies only on first run
• Critical: WorldGuardHook used deprecated API - migrated to Bukkit plugin manager reference
• Critical: HomeManager created 3 redundant Home objects on update - reduced to single allocation
• Critical: SetHomeCommand saved homes twice on category update - removed redundant save
• Updating a home with /sethome no longer resets the original createdAt timestamp
• Folder deletion now properly saves category changes to storage
• PublicHomesGUI NEAREST sort no longer throws NPE when home worlds are unloaded
• CombatListener damage cancel now respects config toggle instead of always cancelling
• HomeEntry.getOwnerName() refreshes from online player to handle name changes
• SQLite busy_timeout set to 5s to prevent "database locked" errors on concurrent writes
• YAML saves now async to avoid main-thread I/O

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

Code Quality

• All 5 shared-state maps upgraded to ConcurrentHashMap (CooldownManager, CombatManager, TeleportManager, GUIManager ×2)
• Periodic cleanup task (every 60s) removes expired combat tags and cooldowns
• HomeStorage.loadHomes() now has 5-second timeout with cache fallback
• Removed dead code: DatabaseManager.executeAsync(), Home.saveFlat(), UpdateChecker.GITHUB_API
• PaginatedGUI.setupNavigation() made non-abstract (no more empty overrides)
• Extracted shared navArrow() to PaginatedGUI, removed 3 duplicate implementations
• Removed redundant PaginatedGUI.itemSlots field
• GUIManager.expectChat() - cleaned up unused guiToReopen parameter

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

i18n - 4 Languages, 100% Coverage

• All 4 language files (EN, PL, DE, FR) now have identical key sets - ~120 keys each
• Zero hardcoded sendMessage() - every user-facing string goes through i18n
• Fixed critical bug: German messages_de.yml was missing the entire sethome: section
• Updated usage.easyhomes in all 4 languages to include status|migrate
• All chat prompts, folder labels, update messages, and admin strings translated
• teleport.dangerous-location warning localized in all 4 languages

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Update from any previous version - no config reset required.

Delete your old easyhomes.jar. Drop in the new one. Restart. Done.
​

Optimized the plugin's performance by preloading player data asynchronously to prevent main-thread lag, patched minor memory leaks in managers, and fixed an issue with NPCs being incorrectly tagged in combat.

New Features

• MySQL Storage - Database support with HikariCP (YAML fallback)
• Vault Economy - Teleport/sethome costs, delhome refunds, distance-based pricing
• WorldGuard - Block sethome in protected regions
• PlaceholderAPI - 10+ placeholders (count, limits, cooldowns, combat)
• Debug System - /easyhomes debug on/off with file logging
• Default Home - /sethome alone creates "home"

Improvements

• Permission Limits - 8 tiers: 1/3/5/10/15/25/50/unlimited
• Smart Cache - Guava TTL cache for performance
• Java 17 - Modern Java requirement
• Full English - All messages and docs translated
