v1.3.1

Release Title: v1.3.1 - The Portal Fix & Restart Manager Update

Release Description:

🛡️ v1.3.1 is a critical patch that addresses a major bug from the v1.3.0 release.

This is a highly recommended update for all users. Thank you to our testers for discovering a critical issue where portals to the_end and the_nether would stop working after a dimension reset, requiring a full server restart to fix.

This version introduces a new, professional-grade workflow to solve this problem permanently and make the reset process significantly more stable and reliable.

---

What's New & Fixed?

The Problem: The "Ghost World" Bug

The previous version would unload, delete, and then immediately try to recreate a core dimension live. This created a "ghost world" issue where the server's internal portal logic would lose its connection to the newly created world, causing portals to break.

The Solution: The Restart Manager

To fix this at a fundamental level, the plugin now adopts the same safe and reliable methods used by professional server networks.

• New Reset Process: Instead of trying to recreate a dimension live (which is inherently unstable), the plugin will now perform the reset and then trigger a safe, automated server restart.
• Guaranteed Success: A server restart is the official and only 100% reliable way to force the Minecraft server to load a newly generated core dimension and correctly link all its portals and game mechanics.
• Fully Configurable: A new restart_manager section has been added to the config.yml, allowing you to enable/disable this feature and configure the restart delay and broadcast message.

✅ Full Changelog

• [CRITICAL FIX] Fixed a major bug where portals to the_end and the_nether would become non-functional after a successful reset.
• [NEW] Added a restart_manager section to the config.yml to control the new automated server restart process.
• [CHANGE] The core dimension reset process has been re-architected to no longer recreate worlds live. It now safely deletes the world files and uses a restart to ensure the new dimension loads perfectly.

Important Note

Due to the critical nature of the bug in v1.3.0, this is considered a mandatory update. All users should upgrade to v1.3.1 to ensure server stability and functional portals after resets.

v1.2.4

Release Title: v1.2.4 - The Ultimate Reliability Patch

Release Description:

✅ v1.2.4 - It Finally Works!

This is the definitive stable release. After extensive testing and debugging, this version resolves the final critical issues with the core reset and preview functionalities, ensuring the plugin is reliable and compatible with all modern server setups.

A huge thank you to our testing team for their persistence in finding these deep-level bugs!

🪲 Changelog

• [CRITICAL FIX] Fixed a major bug where the /dr reset now command would fail if the user was inside The End dimension when running the command.
• [IMPROVEMENT] The method for finding The End dimension has been completely reworked. It no longer relies on the world's folder name ("the_end") and now intelligently searches for the world based on its environment type. This makes the reset and preview features significantly more robust and compatible with different server configurations.

This is the recommended stable version for all users. It addresses all known bugs from previous releases.

v1.2.3

Release Title: v1.2.3 - The Reliability & Core Logic Patch

Release Description:

✅ v1.2.3 is a critical patch that fixes the core reset functionality.

This is a highly recommended update for all users. Thank you to our testers for finding a critical bug where the /dr reset now command would complete without actually resetting The End.

🪲 Changelog

• [CRITICAL FIX] Completely reworked the resetTheEnd method to fix a race condition. The previous version would attempt to delete world files before the server had fully released them, causing the reset to fail silently. The new method performs the reset in three distinct, timed stages (Unload -> Delete -> Recreate) to ensure the operation completes successfully every time.
• [IMPROVEMENT] Added more detailed logging to the server console during a reset. You will now see [Reset Stage 1/3], [Reset Stage 2/3], etc., so you can track the process and easily identify where a failure might occur.
• [IMPROVEMENT] Replaced the file deletion logic with a more robust recursive method to better handle the world directory.
  This update addresses the most significant bug in the plugin's history and makes the core feature significantly more reliable.

v1.2.1

Release Title: v1.2.1 - The Preview & Information Update

Release Description:

🔮 v1.2.1 is here, adding new preview and utility tools for administrators!

This update introduces a highly requested feature: the ability to safely preview The End dimension before a reset. This provides a powerful new set of tools for server owners to inspect the current state of the world and get information about what the next reset will look like, all without any risk to server performance.

---

✨ New Features

This release is centered around the new /dr preview command.

🔭 Spectator Preview Mode (/dr preview before)

You can now safely inspect the current state of The End without leaving your location or changing your inventory.

• How it works: Running /dr preview before will save your current location and gamemode, switch you to Spectator Mode, and teleport you to The End.
• Explore Freely: Fly through the island and see exactly what needs to be reset.
• Safe Return: Use /dr preview exit to instantly return to your original spot with your original gamemode restored.
• Logout Protection: If you log out while in preview mode, the plugin will automatically restore your state, so you'll be back where you started when you next log in.

🌱 Seed Information (/dr preview seed)

Want to know what the next End dimension will look like after a reset? This command provides a lightweight "preview after" without the heavy performance cost of generating a temporary world.

• How it works: Running /dr preview seed will display the server's main world seed.
• Confirmation: This confirms exactly which seed will be used to generate the new End dimension, allowing you to preview it yourself using online tools or a single-player world if you wish.

---

✅ Full Changelog

• [NEW] Added the /dr preview <before|exit|seed> subcommands.
• [NEW] Added the dimensionsreset.preview permission (defaults to OP).
• [NEW] Added an event listener to safely handle players logging out while in preview mode.
• [IMPROVEMENT] Tab-completion has been updated to include all new preview subcommands.
• [IMPROVEMENT] Added new customizable messages for all preview features to the config.yml.

v1.0.1

Release Title: v1.0.1 - The Paper Compatibility & Stability Fix!

Release Description:

🚀 Let's Gooo! v1.0.1 is Here!

After a long and intense debugging session, v1.0.1 is here! This is a critical stability patch that completely resolves the startup errors encountered in the initial v1.0 release on modern Paper servers.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in testing and finding these bugs. We made it!

---

🔧 What Was Fixed?

The initial v1.0 release suffered from a critical loading issue on modern Paper servers, resulting in an UnsupportedOperationException. This was caused by a fundamental conflict between Paper's new, stricter plugin loading system and the traditional Bukkit method of defining commands in .yml files.

After exploring several solutions, this patch completely refactors the command system to be 100% code-based. We no longer define any commands in the .yml files; instead, they are programmatically registered with the server's CommandMap on startup. This is the modern, correct, and most stable way to ensure compatibility with Paper now and in the future.

✅ Changelog for v1.0.1

• [FIX] Fixed a critical UnsupportedOperationException that prevented the plugin from enabling on modern Paper servers.
• [FIX] Corrected an issue that could cause inconsistent or duplicated version numbers in server logs (e.g., vv1.0).
• [CHANGE] Reworked the entire command registration system to be programmatic, removing all command definitions from plugin.yml and paper-plugin.yml to align with modern Paper development practices.

Important Note for Users:
This is a critical update. The v1.0 release is considered broken and will not load on most modern Paper servers. All users should upgrade to v1.0.1 immediately.
