WorldEditDisplay v2.2.0

WorldEditDisplay 2.2.0 Selection Sharing, Multi-Platform Support & Performance Improvements​

Summary​

Major release introducing a Selection Sharing System that lets players share their WorldEdit selections with others in real-time, expanded multi-platform support (Paper, Folia, Spigot), a new RegionRenderer abstract base class for a more extensible rendering architecture, and numerous performance improvements with render caching and async operations.

New Features​

Selection Sharing System​

• Added /wedisplay share command to invite other players to view your selection
• Selections shared in real-time with persistent storage across sessions
• Each shared selection is assigned a unique color generated automatically
• Unused shared colors are released when sharing ends to optimize resources
• Permission-based access control: worldeditdisplay.share required to use share commands
• Share manager configuration is reloadable via /wedisplayreload

RegionRenderer Abstract Base Class​

• Introduced RegionRenderer abstract base class for a unified and extensible rendering architecture
• Simplifies adding new region types and customizing render behavior

Multi-Platform Support​

• Added official support for Folia (region-threaded scheduling)
• Added official support for Spigot (in addition to Paper)
• Task scheduling is now platform-aware and routes to the correct scheduler automatically

Region Bounding Box & Distance Utilities​

• Added bounding box calculation methods to region objects
• Added distance calculation methods between regions and players for range-based optimizations

Improvements​

Rendering Performance​

• Introduced renderer-level caching to reduce redundant computation
• Name cache logic for shared renders is now correctly invalidated to avoid stale reads
• Clearing a sharer's render now properly releases associated resources
• Render brightness and label position adjustments for improved visual quality

Async Settings I/O​

• Player settings are now saved asynchronously to prevent main-thread blocking
• Config saves are deferred to a scheduled task to avoid repeated disk writes during rapid state changes

Thread Safety​

• Share request timeout is now stored in a thread-safe mutable field
• Player multi-region map is now returned as an unmodifiable view to protect data integrity

Bug Fixes​

• fix(render): Corrected shared render name-cache invalidation logic to prevent unnecessary re-reads
• fix(player): Returned unmodifiable multi-region map to protect internal data from external mutation
• fix(share): Made share request timeout mutable for proper thread-safe handling
• fix(render): Adjusted brightness calculation and label position for better display results

Technical & CI Updates​

• Updated GitHub Actions workflow file versions for improved stability
• Added adventure-api exclusion filter to the Spigot Maven profile to prevent class conflicts
• Removed SHARE-DESIGN.md design document (merged into implementation)

System Requirements​

Component	Requirement
Minecraft	1.20 ~ 1.21.x
Java	21+
Platform	Paper / Folia / Spigot
PacketEvents	2.11.1+
WorldEdit	Latest stable / FAWE

Configuration Notes​

• No breaking configuration changes from 2.1.x.
• A new share section will be generated in config.yml on first launch.
• Run /wedisplayreload after upgrading to apply any new defaults.

WorldEditDisplay 2.1.2​

by TWMEon Apr 21, 2026

WorldEditDisplay v2.1.2 Release Notes​

Summary​

Patch release fixing polygon regions not rendering when the selection has a flat vertical range (minY equals maxY).

Changelog​

• fix(region): Polygon region not displayed when minY == maxY
  • Fixed a bug where PolygonRegion.isDefined() used a strict maxY > minY check, which prevented rendering whenever the polygon's vertical range was flat (e.g. a single-block-height selection or when the first mm event arrives with equal min/max values).
  • Changed the condition to maxY >= minY so polygon regions are rendered correctly in all cases.

Notes​

• No public API changes.
• Fully backward-compatible. No configuration changes required.

WorldEditDisplay 2.1.1​

by TWMEon Apr 20, 2026

WorldEditDisplay v2.1.1 Release Notes​

Summary​

Release adding per-shape see-through settings, a rendering rebase task, and fixing a rendering issue with polyhedron selections.

Note: This release is not fully backward-compatible for configuration. renderer.global.see_through has been removed. Please update your config.yml before upgrading.

Click to expand...

Changelog​

• fix(renderer): Polyhedron vertex visibility
  • Fixed a bug where polyhedron vertex markers were not displayed when only vertex (p) events had been received and faces (poly) had not yet been reported by WorldEdit. Vertex markers are now rendered immediately as vertex events arrive.
• change(renderer): Per-shape see_through configuration
  • Removed the global renderer.global.see_through setting.
  • Added individual see_through settings for each shape type (cuboid, cylinder, ellipsoid, polygon, polyhedron).
  • Existing configurations using renderer.global.see_through must be updated to the new per-shape format.
• feat(renderer): Rendering rebase task
  • Added a periodic rebase task to keep TextDisplay entities within view range as players move.
• perf(renderer): Reduce ellipsoid grid line count
  • Changed calculateGridStep formula from radius / N to ceil(2 * radius / N).
  • radius_grid_division now controls the approximate number of grid lines per axis plane rather than being a divisor of the radius.
  • For mid-sized ellipsoids (e.g. radius 10), grid lines per plane drop from ~20 to ~5, reducing total line entity count by up to 75%.
• chore(deps): Bumped TextDisplayShape dependency to 1.3.0.

Notes​

• No public API changes.
• Configuration is not fully backward-compatible: renderer.global.see_through has been replaced with per-shape settings.

• Rendering system has been completely redesigned - configurations may need adjustment for optimal appearance

Important Configuration Update​

You MUST regenerate your config.yml file before upgrading to 2.0.0
Due to significant architectural changes in the rendering system, the configuration format has changed substantially.
Action Required:

1. Backup your current config.yml file
2. Delete the old config.yml on your server
3. Start the plugin - it will generate a new config.yml with the updated format
4. Re-apply any custom settings from your backup to the new configuration file

Attempting to use the old configuration format may cause unexpected behavior or errors.

Stability​

This release includes multiple fixes to ensure stability and better compatibility with the latest Minecraft versions.
