Release 1.0.2

New in this release

Two data-persistence bugs have been fixed that caused all upgrade configuration and player progress to be lost on server restart:

• Admin upgrade definitions not saved — Every change made through the admin GUI (upgrade name, description, icon, display order, price formulas, reward formulas, tier level counts, deleting prices/rewards) was stored only in memory and silently discarded when the server stopped. All 15 mutation handlers across EditUpgradePanel, EditTierPanel, and the individual price/reward configuration panels now call saveUpgradeData/saveUpgradeTier immediately after each change. [PR #84]

• Player purchase levels not saved — When a player bought an upgrade, the level was incremented in the in-memory cache but never written to the database. On server restart all islands reverted to their pre-purchase levels. Both the legacy upgrade path (UpgradeAPI.doUpgrade) and the database-driven path (DatabaseUpgrade.doUpgrade) now persist the updated UpgradesData immediately after each purchase. [PR #84]

Full Changelog: 1.0.1...1.0.2

Upgrades 1.0.1

Bug fix release for 1.0.0

Fixed

• Example upgrades no longer regenerate on every restart after being deleted. The seeder now tracks which game modes have been seeded in a persistent .seeded-gamemodes marker file. To re-trigger seeding, delete that file from the addon data folder.

⚙️ Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox 2.6.0+
✔️ Java 21
✔️ Paper/Bukkit 1.20+
✔️ Vault (optional — required for Money price type)
✔️ Level addon (optional — required for Island Level price type)
✔️ Limits addon (optional — required for Block/Entity Limits rewards)

🔺 Updating — important notes

🔺 Complete reset required if not updating from 1.0.0. 1.0.0 release is a full rewrite and is not backwards-compatible with any previous Upgrades configuration. Remove your old config.yml and any existing upgrade data before installing.

🔡 New admin command. The admin interface is accessed via /[gamemode] admin upgrades (e.g. /bsb admin upgrades). Ensure your admins have the appropriate BentoBox admin permission.

📥 How to update

1. Stop your server
2. Place the new jar in plugins/BentoBox/addons/
3. Use /[gamemode] admin upgrades to customise your upgrade tiers in-game

Full Changelog: 1.0.0...1.0.1

Release 1.0.0

🎁 What's new

A complete ground-up rewrite. Upgrades 0.3.0 replaces the old config-file-based upgrade system with a fully database-driven architecture — upgrades, tiers, prices, and rewards are all stored as BentoBox DataObjects and manageable entirely in-game. This release also introduces a brand-new admin GUI for creating and editing upgrades without touching any files, plus two new reward types: Spawner Boost and Crop Growth Boost.

✨ Highlights

💾 Database-Driven Upgrade System (#67)

• Upgrades and their tiers are now stored in BentoBox's database (YAML, JSON, MySQL, MongoDB, etc.)
• No more editing large config files — all upgrade data is loaded, cached, and saved automatically
• Full API (UpgradeAPI) exposed for other addons to query and modify upgrade data programmatically
• 8 example upgrades are seeded automatically on first install so you can get started immediately

🖥️ Admin GUI (#66, #68, #70, #73)

• New /[gamemode] admin upgrades command opens a full in-game admin interface

• Lore text wraps automatically for long descriptions (#73, #74)
