ArmorStandEditor 26.1 to 26.1.2: CoreProtect Support, Better Folia Support and more

This is the ASE Update for 26.1 through to 26.1.2. The first of the new numbering scheme cause Mojang decided, following Windows is a good idea. Cheers!

Read this before updating

ASE as of 26.1 is built using Java 25. If you need to update your Java on your Server, please read https://docs.papermc.io/misc/java-install .

Failure to do this before updating to 26.1 or higher, and complaining that ASE is giving an error like has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 65.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 61.0 will result in your issue being closed as NOT A BUG.

Config Changes

ArmorStandEditor now supports a way to block armorStands with given names from being edited. So you can do that by adding the following to your Config.yml

#----------- BLOCKED NAMES
# Armor stands with the following names will not be able to be edited
# Use exact name matching (case sensitive)
enableBlockedNames: false
blocked-names:
  - "BlockedArmorStandName"
  # - "ItemsAdder_furniture"

Also CustomDataModel is now done by using float numbers , not integers as in line with the PaperAPI

#Also please if you are using this, ensure that you also give people the ability asedit.give in
#order to allow them to change their edit tool for the right Custom Model Data
allowCustomModelData: false
customModelDataInt: 0.0

Other Changes

Full Changelog: 1.20.6-46...1.21.5-48.3

ASE 1.20.6-46.1: The Confusion Fix

As stated in this post yesterday, this is the update that fixes compatibility for servers running 1.20.4 (1.20.4 is the lowest that I have tested this update on... Your mileage will vary when running below 1.20.4)

NOTE: To use this and any future updates to ASE, please update to Java 21.

So what does this fix?

Removes the issue on Menu's being unable to open. That line of code has now been removed

How do I update to Java 21?
https://docs.papermc.io/misc/java-install

Apology:
As posted on the ASE Discord, normally how ASE has been updated is by updating anything that breaks between builds (e.g.: from 1.20.4 to 1.20.6). Hence why, normally, this change would have been insignificant, but since most people have not upgraded to 1.20.6 yet, it has been causing issues, that I did not foresee.

Therefore I again, apologise profusely for any issues caused with the last update and understand if you have stopped or will stop or are planning to stop ASE because of it.

Kr,
Wolfie

ArmorStandEditor 1.20.5/1.20.6-46 - QoL Fixes

This update introduces ArmorStandEditor to the 1.20.5/1.20.6 update. This versions will work on all APIs until 1.17 (See the changelog for more info as to why we are doing this) and is built using Java 21.

Important Change to Player Heads

Just a heads-up: starting from version 1.20.6-46, we're waving goodbye to the Old Player Head Command.
So, in this update, using "/ase playerhead" will only snag you the current Player's Head. No bugs here, folks! Please do not report it as such! This is the new intended behavior.

Why?
Short Answer: Because Mojang decided it's time to move on from the way it used to work.
Longer Answer: We're just keeping things simple and cutting down on maintenance headaches.

What has changed?

• The Config Option allowedToRetrievePlayerHead has been renamed to allowedToRetrieveOwnPlayerHead.
• asedit.head has not be removed. Retrieving Player Head will work with EITHER/OR

Q: I want the old Player Head System Back, how can I enable this?
If you're feeling nostalgic and want the old functionality back (and hey, want to share it with everyone), go ahead and fork ASE and shoot us a Pull Request. I will not, at this stage, be investing the time and energy to look at how to implement it.

---

New Permission: asedit.rename.color

As was a problem on a few servers, admins wanted the ability to block Color Code Edits on an ArmorStand. Therefore we have now added asedit.rename.color that will block color edits, if not enabled.

Please set that permission true to keep the functionality as it is now. Otherwise, you will have players asking why they get the below error message when trying to make their armorstand have a colored name:

Please make sure you have the ability/permission to give your ArmorStand Colored Names.

---

What else has changed?

• Fixed issue when Paper/Folia users were updating to 1.20.5
• Fixed the long overstanding bug where /ase give wouldnt work if you had configuration option enabled but not the permission. Now looks at either/or
• Added ItemAdder/Custom Furniture Protection
• Fixed Menu to show Blank Slots when users dont have permissions.
• Updated the version check to take from the config not the Plugin Description File.

Full Changelog: 1.20.4-45...1.20.6-46

ArmorStandEditor 1.20.4-45: Preset Poses

Greetings and Happy Holidays from the team.

This will be the last ArmorStandEditor release for the year 2023. This update is a "minor" change that introduces:

• Support for 1.20.4
• Fix an issue in BentoBoxProtection when using AOneBlock in place of BSkyBlock
• Fix for a minor issue with the UI

BUT there is one surprise now added to the Plugin. If you can find it, without reading the below - Props to you!

Wishing you a happy holidays, whatever you celebrate, and a safe and healthy start to 2024.
Kind Regards,
Wolfie

• NEW: Preset Poses

One final update or new feature that managed to slip in last minute before the year end. There is now a list of preset poses in the plugin. This works the same way the /ase stats command does, in which you need to be next to the Armor Stand in order for the preset to take effect.

For Server Owners/Admins: This is mapped to the asedit.basic permission as I see this as part of the basic functionality of the plugin.

List of Poses can be found below:

• Sitting
• Greeting (2 Different Poses)
• Waving
• Cheers
• Archer
• Dancing
• Hanging for Dear Life (probably needs a better name LOL)
• Present
• Fishing

There is also an easy way to get back to the main menu and a short How To message on how to use it.

When setting a pose, you will hear a Comparator Click and the Menu will close automatically. This is not a bug so please do not log support tickets on it.

Full Changelog: 1.20.1-43.2...1.20.2-44

ArmorStandEditor 1.20.1-43.2 - Tails and Trails Hotfix 2

This update is to hotfix some issues in the ASE 1.20(.1)-43 and 43.1 releases. This versions will work on all APIs until 1.14. NOTE: Not all features will work but this has been tested both on 1.19 (Folia) and 1.20.1 (Paper)

However this will be the last version to support anything below 1.17, so If you are using 1.16.5 and lower, this is will be my last update for those versions.

Why no more support for below 1.16.5?

Per the statistics/metrics that we get via BStats, most of the player base are using a version higher than 1.16.5, therefore I don't see a need to keep things backwards compatible to below 1.17.

Don't worry, the versions that have been made available previously to those using 1.16.5 and lower, will still be made available to download via Spigot and Here on Github via the Readme File.

What's Changed/been fixed?

• [CORE] Fix the broken permission for ArmorStandVisibilility - #WolfieCantSpell
• [CORE] Fix the permission check for being able to edit an ItemFrame
• [CORE] Fix for the String Duplication when warning about MC Versions (Internal Refactor)
• Some fixes for the Readme File - Mostly fix the Logos for Jetbrains and Shamblecraft.
