Oraxen | Custom Items, Blocks & more v1.217.0

Hey,

Here is a quick fix for the jar file so it includes the missing resources.

Best,
Thomas

Hi everyone,

This update brings Minecraft 26.2 support and restores compatibility with legacy 1.20.1 servers. It also adds custom paintings loaded from config with hot reload, a unified /oraxen info command, configurable block break durability, configurable client-version filtering for resource pack dispatch, and broader protection plugin compatibility through AntiGriefLib (covering 25+ plugins including GriefDefender, GriefPrevention, and UltimateClaims). Many reliability fixes land across commands, packs, recipes, backpacks, and block interactions. Spigot server support has been removed, so Paper or a Paper-compatible fork is now required.

Big thanks to Jan (pxlarified) for the original v1.217.0 work and the pack and painting compatibility fixes.

If you hit any issue, please let me know.

Enjoy,
Thomas

Hey,

Last update introduced a breaking change in the way blocks are handled in Oraxen (a single block mechanic in mechanics.yml). Unfortunately there was a bug in the config migration which could cause blocks to not render properly using older configurations.

This update fixes it, thanks to Jan for his reactivity

Have fun.
Thomas

Hi everyone,

Fixes:
Several shaped block break/drop/light issues, block migration, command fallback and Folia edge cases were resolved, along with pack resend, shader, recipe, sound, startup and generated-pack reliability problems.

Big thanks to Jan for the huge block-mechanic work and careful fixes. If you hit any issue, please let me know.
