Version 0.16.2 (for 1.10.2 and 1.11)

This is a bug fix release to fix incomplete messages when using the GeoIP module.

For the major changes to the 0.16.x series and for the NucleusMixins side plugin, please see the 0.16.1 announcement.

Version 0.16.1 (for 1.10.2 and 1.11)

(Please note, 0.16.0 was released and a bug was discovered before posting on the Sponge forums. This build contains the fix.)

Nucleus 0.16.1 is available for Sponge API 5.1 and is compatible with current builds for Sponge API 6-SNAPSHOT. Documentation can be found at http://nucleuspowered.org/docs (command and permission references should already be up to date).

NucleusMixins, an optional companion plugin for Nucleus, is available for Sponge API 5 (Minecraft 1.10.2) servers, and will provide a workaround for /invsee not working as intended, and enhanced world generation by hooking into Minecraft internals (known as "NMS" to some players). It is entirely optional, and may not work on heavily modded servers. If you wish to turn off either the /invsee or enhanced world generation mixins, you can do so by setting the relavent option in mixins.conf.

Sponge API 4.1 support is bugfix only, thus, 0.16.x is not available for Minecraft 1.8.9

This release has the follwing new features:

• /spawn other has been added to send other players, both offline and online, to spawn (#485).
• Added a config option to drop excess items when redeeming a kit (#481).
• Added player's UUID to /seen (#494).
• Added /nameban to allow server owners to ban the use of an IGN, rather than a specific player (#495).
• Added /uptime as an alias to /serverstat (#502).
• Added /blockzap to allow adminsitrators to quickly remove problematic blocks (#504).
• Added the GeoIP module (but disabled by default) (#334).

There have also been a few bugfixes in this release:

• /hat no longer has the potential to delete items.
• Fixed problem that allows users to use colour codes without permission to do so.
• Fix disconnect event throwing an NPE when a player is kicked from the server before they have logged in (#489).
• Don't log fake players in the AFK system.
• Add some minor performance increases when getting parent groups of a player.
• Fix /rtp:
  • Surface only warps now actually work.
  • Players will no longer /rtp successfully only to find they've ended up in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight.
  • Players will no longer /rtp successfully only to find they've ended up in a very hot magma bath.
• Do jail moves on login earlier, so they don't see their old location at first.
• Don't set reply target if message is ignored.
• Fix /homes not being paginated properly.
• [0.16.1] Fixed incorrect permission for /geoip update.

There are some known issues and things that you should be aware of:

• /invsee does not work unless you are within 8 blocks of the target player. Use NucleusMixins to workaround this - though this currently doesn't work for some heavily modded servers (#506). If you have more information, please add it there,
• While we don't plan to make changes to the data files, things might change. These will be stabilised by 1.0
• There is an API, but this is subject to change.
• Sometimes, an incorrect custom prefix might be selected. Nucleus uses whatever the permission plugin hands back, check your inheritance with the permissions plugin.

A note on GeoIP

GeoIP is disabled by default, and once enabled, will require you accept the third party library licences that are now included in the Jar. We ask that you use the feature responsibly, while we display public data, we understand the privacy concerns.

To use GeoIP, set modules.geo-ip to ENABLED and restart, then set geo-ip.accept-licences to true and run /nucleus reload. The command /geoip update and /geoip <player> will be available to you, requiring the nucleus.geoip.base permission. To display information on login to staff, grant the permission nucleus.geoip.login.

This release has the follwing new features:

• Added ability to disable Social Spy on non-players (#468)
• Added /top to move players to the surface (#466)

Version 0.13.1 (for 1.8.9 and 1.10.2)

This is a bug fix release and is recommended for all users. The fixes are:

• #444 - allows kits to have items that have no enchantments but have the enchantment shine.

For the 0.13.0 release notes, please see the 0.13 release annoucement

Version 0.13.0 (for 1.8.9 and 1.10.2)

Version 0.121.1 (for 1.8.9 and 1.10.2)

This is a bug fix release and is recommended for all users. The fixes are:

• /rtp with surface only warps will now actually work - #427
• Fixed SocialSpy not toggling.
• Removed double permission check for commands.
• [1.10.2] Now builds against Sponge API 5 final.

For the 0.12.0 release notes, please see the 0.12 release annoucement

Version 0.121.0 (for 1.8.9 and 1.10.2)

Nucleus 0.12.0 is the twelfth beta feature release, available for Sponge API 4.1 and the latest version of Sponge API 5-SNAPSHOT. Documentation can be found at http://nucleuspowered.org/docs (command and permission references should already be up to date)

We are now at a stage when some production servers may find Nucleus can replace a previous essentials plugin, with most servers only finding that they are lacking an /invsee command. We are still waiting for a Sponge implementation before we can add this ourselves. Note that Nucleus may break as Sponge development continues on API 5/MC 1.10.2 until Sponge produce a recommended build of API 5, which is expected to be imminently.

If you are using MC 1.10.2, you MUST use SpongeForge 1759 or later or the latest SpongeVanilla.

Nucleus does not support 1.9.4.

This release has the follwing new features:

• Reworked the majority of the Worlds module. It now assumes defaults, and in particular, the creation command is now much better.
  • /world create now accepts generator modifiers. See /world create ? for more info.
  • /world unload can force players off the world and transfer them to a world of your choosing using -t <world>. It can also disable the world (prevent from being reloaded), use the -d flag.
  • /world list now displays more information, and optionally the seed with the permission nucleus.world.list.seed
  • Other commands in the World module should now be more reliable.
• /info and /motd improvements
  • Player tokens, such as {{displayname}} can now be used in the info and motd files.
  • An option has been added to prevent the MOTD using the pagination service. - #403
  • Added ability to choose a specific info file to be displayed when /info is run, rather than the list of files (which can be accessed using the -l flag and the nucleus.info.list permission. - #391
  • Added markdown like links to motd and info files - #390
  • [LinkNameHere](http://link) for links
  • [Command](/command) to run the command /command, add {{player}} to include the player in the command.
• Add ability to globally (in main.conf) disable safe teleport when when using /home, /warp, /spawn, /tp* - #266
• Add ability to set the range of the safe teleport - #250
• Improve group based chat templates
  • Default chat and name colours can be added to the chat.templates.group-templates. - #289
  • A weighting parameter has been added to try to make it easier for admins to ensure the correct template is selected when a player is in multiple groups. The highest weight wins. - #423
• Added /entityinfo - #415
• Added /nucleus update-messages to allow those who use messages.conf to update their files in a safe way, so that messages that have been changed and require a different number of tokens can be updated. - #409
  • Use this when you update Nucleus. If any message needs to be changed, the old message will become a comment in the file.
• Added /sethome -o to allow players to overwrite homes they already have. - #393
• Laid foundations for an improved world chunk pre-generator.

There have also been a few bugfixes in this release:

• Cleaned up a lot of areas to prevent extra work when it's not necessary.
• Prevent debug messages being printed when debug mode is not on in the config file. - #419
• Stopped trying to kick a player who has been AFK far too long multiple times.
• Don't safe teleport in creative - #324
• Fix per-warp permissions not accepting lower case permissions - #418
• [1.8.9] Backported the updated SpongeTeleportHelper to Nucleus for 1.8.9 to fix some weird safe teleportation issues.

There are some known issues and things that you should be aware of:

• While we don't plan to make changes to the data files, things might change. These will be stabilised by 1.0
• There is an API, but this is subject to change.
• Sometimes, an incorrect custom prefix might be selected. Nucleus uses whatever the permission plugin hands back, check your inheritance with the permissions plugin.
