SmartPlots v2.0.1 — Hotfix 2026-03-08

Protection System

• Fixed: Players could build on roads/borders in survival without permission
• New: Neighbor-based check — roads only buildable when BOTH adjacent plots are merged, intersections require all 4 surrounding plots to be merged

BuilderTools Integration

SmartPlots v2.0.0 — The Merge & GUI Update

IMPORTANT — READ BEFORE UPDATING

BREAKING CHANGES — BACKUP REQUIRED!

This update includes a complete rewrite of the merge system and a database schema migration (v9).

The old merge_group_id system has been replaced with a new per-plot merged_sides bitmask approach. An automatic migration runs on first startup, but if anything goes wrong, existing merged plots may break.

Before installing this update, you MUST:

1. Create a full database backup (export your entire SmartPlots database)
2. Create a full world backup (copy your plot world folder)
3. Only then replace the plugin JAR and restart

If the migration fails or merged plots look broken after updating, restore your backups and report the issue.[/BOX]

---

Merge System Rewrite

The entire merge/unmerge system has been rewritten based on PlotSquared's proven pairwise merge approach.

• New merge data model — Per-plot boolean[4] merged (N/E/S/W) replaces the old merge_group_id system
• BFS-based connected plots — getConnectedPlots() uses breadth-first search to find all plots in a merge group
• Proper rectangular merges — autoMerge() now seeds BFS from ALL connected plots for correct rectangular expansion
• Road removal in all directions — Fixed N→S and W→E road removal (previously only handled S and E)
• SE intersection handling — Proper 2x2+ intersection detection and removal during merge
• Intersection restoration on unmerge — createRoadSouthEast() now properly restores intersection blocks
• Outer border rebuild after merge — New rebuildOuterBorderForPlots() correctly builds borders around merged plot groups
• DB Schema v9 — Automatic migration from merge_group_id to merged_sides bitmask (N=1, E=2, S=4, W=8)
• Deprecated API cleanup — All 38 usages of getMergeGroupId()/getMergeGroup() replaced across 16 files

---

New GUI System

SmartPlots now features a full custom GUI system — no more chat-only commands!

Plot Menu (/plot menu)

• Central settings hub with buttons for all plot management features
• Quick access to Border, Wall, Flags, Members, and Info
• Shows plot info panel (ID, owner, member counts, flag count)
• Aliases: /plot settings, /plot gui

Block Selector GUI (/plot rand & /plot wall)

• Visual block picker with scrollable grid
• Shows block icons with display names
• Permission-based: unlocked blocks show "Select" button, locked blocks show red "Locked" button
• Available blocks sorted first, locked blocks shown at the bottom
• Works for both border (/plot rand) and wall (/plot wall) customization
• Still supports direct command usage: /plot rand <block> and /plot wall <block>

Flag Editor (via /plot menu → Flags)

• Visual toggle interface for all 15 plot flags
• Boolean flags (PvP, PvE, Explosion, Mob Spawning, Fly, Deny Exit, Entry) — click to toggle ON/OFF
• ON = green, OFF = red — instant visual feedback
• String/Integer/Set flags displayed as read-only with current values
• Changes save instantly and update live

Members Manager (via /plot menu → Members)

• Overview of all plot members organized by role: Owner → Trusted → Members → Denied
• Remove button for Trusted, Members, and Denied entries
• Promote button to upgrade Members to Trusted
• Changes save and refresh instantly

---

Separate Block Selector Config

• Block lists moved to dedicated block-selector.json config file
• Separate border and wall block lists
• Each entry: blockId, displayName, permission
• Auto-generated with 12 border blocks and 9 wall blocks on first run
• Easy to customize without touching the main config

---

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed border not generating after merge — Outer borders are now properly rebuilt after merge operations
• Fixed /plot rand overwriting custom walls — Border cap replacement now respects custom wall blocks
• Fixed /plot wall on merged plots — Wall lines now correctly extend across filled roads between merged plots
• Fixed /plot reset on merged plots — Now also clears filled roads and intersections between merged plots up to max build height (was previously only clearing 1 block above floor)
• Fixed /plot delete on merged plots — Now properly unmerges before resetting and unclaiming
• Performance: /plot rand optimization — New replaceOuterBorderCap() only changes the cap block at wall height instead of rebuilding entire wall columns (~5-6x fewer block operations)

---

New Commands

• /plot menu — Open the plot settings GUI (aliases: settings, gui)
• /plot kick <player> — Kick a player from your plot
• /plot middle — Teleport to the center of your plot
• /plot near — Show nearby claimed plots
• /plot set <option> — Set plot properties
• /plot flag <set|add|remove|list|info> — Manage plot flags via commands

---

World Generation

• Configurable plot heights (floor, wall, road)
• Configurable block types for all terrain layers
• Auto-claim spiral search (/plot auto)
• Prefab system support for plot templates

---

Flag & Protection System

• 15 plot flags: PvP, PvE, Explosion, Mob Spawning, Fly, Deny Exit, Entry, Greeting, Farewell, Gamemode, Time, Weather, Break, Place, Use
• Entry/farewell messages on plot enter/leave
• Entry denial for non-permitted players
• Deny-exit flag to prevent players from leaving

Flag Implementation Status


Currently only the USE flag is fully implemented and functional.

All other flags are already present in the system and GUI but are not yet enforced by the server logic.
They will be implemented in upcoming updates as the protection system is expanded.

This allows server owners to already configure their flags while the backend logic is completed in future releases.

---

Permissions

Spoiler: New Permissions

• plot.player.menu — Access to /plot menu
• plot.player.wall — Access to /plot wall
• plot.player.rand — Access to /plot rand
• plot.borderblock.<block> — Per-block border permissions
• plot.wallblock.<block> — Per-block wall permissions
• plot.admin.bypass.wall — Bypass wall ownership check
• plot.admin.bypass.rand — Bypass border ownership check
• plot.admin.bypass.menu — Bypass menu ownership check
