TreasureSpawn

• ✨Rewritten from scratch. A clean install is strongly recommended: move your plugins/TreasureSpawn/ folder aside as a backup and let the new files generate.
• ✨Renamed permissions: treasurespawn.spawn → treasurespawn.receive, treasurespawn.cooldown.<name> → treasurespawn.fast.<name>. treasurespawn.bypass.cooldown was removed.
• ✨Mimics are a fight, not a trap. The chest wakes up and comes at you, and beating it drops more than the honest chest it imitated.
• ✨Five kinds of mimic: brawler, runner, splitter, flyer and swarm.
• ✨Mimics drop part of their loot as you damage them, so a fight you lose still leaves something behind.
• ✨Mimics can disguise themselves as a better tier than they carry, and give themselves away to an attentive player.
• ✨A killed mimic may leave another chest behind, which is likelier than usual to bite too.
• ✨Ten mimic abilities, each with its own moment (waking, mid-fight, when hurt, on death): scream, lightning, creepers, fire, cage, teleport, money penalty, explosion, fake loot and commands.
• ✨Admin GUI with 43 settings, edited by clicking: left raises, right lowers, shift multiplies by ten.
• ✨In-game loot editor: shift-click an item in your inventory and it enters the loot table, enchantments and all. Nothing leaves your inventory.
• ✨ElementalArms items can now be used in loot tables, alongside MMOItems.
• ✨Each tier has its own block (barrel, chest, shulker...), so players can tell what they found from a distance.
• ✨The chest spawn message now includes the coordinates.
• ✨/tsadmin why explains in four lines why a player has, or has not, got a chest.
• ✨New commands: /tsadmin loot, status and why; /ts spawn, give and ver; plus the /randomchest alias.
• ✨New permission treasurespawn.request lets a player ask for a chest with /ts spawn, capped as usual.
• ✨WorldGuard: chests never spawn where the player could not build.
• ✨A 1.x config.yml is migrated automatically, keeping a copy as config-1.x.yml.old.
• 🔧Every player now has their own spawn clock instead of a global draw. 60-120 seconds means exactly that, per player.
• 🔧New setting chests.max-per-player caps how many unclaimed chests a player can have at once.
• 🔧Player clocks survive restarts. The time LEFT is stored, so offline time does not count and reconnecting changes nothing.
• 🔧All four language files are now created and kept up to date, not just the active one.
• 🔧Holograms no longer need DecentHolograms — the plugin uses Minecraft's own floating text.
• 🔧No database. SQLite, MySQL and their libraries are gone; the jar went from 17 MB to 165 KB. Networks: clocks no longer sync between servers.
• 🔧One jar now covers Minecraft 1.21 through 26.2.
• 🔧Every sound and particle is configurable by name, with a master switch.
• 🔧Settings that contradict each other are now reported, in the console and in the admin menu.
• 🔧Players no longer see their own countdown: finding a chest you were not expecting is the point. Admins still see it.
• 🔧Players can no longer store their own items in a treasure chest, which used to cost them their belongings.
• 🔧Loot referencing a plugin you do not have is skipped without using up a slot.
• 🐛Chests no longer pile up around players. Nothing capped how many unclaimed ones a player could have, so lowering the interval gave more at once instead of more often.
• 🐛Chest spawns are no longer rolled on player movement. That path ignored the cooldown for anyone with treasurespawn.bypass.cooldown, which every operator has.
• 🐛Chests no longer appear inside regions where the player could not build.
• 🐛Chests and mimics are no longer left orphaned in the world after a crash.
• 🐛The mimic no longer sounds like the mob underneath it.
• 🐛Reloading the config no longer resets every player's clock, which the menu was doing on every click.
• 🐛Fixed the WorldGuard region check, which could switch itself off for the session.

• ✨Chests are handed out per player, not one at a time for the whole server. Before, a single chest appeared every 5–15 minutes and went to one player, so on a busy server most people almost never saw on
• ✨AFK protection — a player has to have moved recently to be included, so parked alts collect nothing overnight. Configurable, and can be turned off.
• ✨Chest protection can expire — protection-duration releases an unclaimed chest to anyone after a while. 0 keeps the old behaviour.
• 🔧VIP cooldown reductions are worth buying now — a 50% reduction means twice the chests. The server-wide bottleneck used to eat most of the benefit.
• 🔧No more disk write per chest — chests.yml was rewritten in full, on the main thread, every time a chest appeared or vanished. Batched now.
• 🔧config.yml documents what actually happens, including two options that existed but were written nowhere.
• 🐛Loot could vanish out of your hands — if the despawn timer ran out with the chest open, it was emptied and removed mid-pick. An open chest is now left alone.
• 🐛The "protection time" in the admin GUI did nothing. You could set it and save it, and nothing read it.
• 🐛treasurespawn.spawn was ignored by the automatic spawner — revoking it stopped nothing.
• 🐛treasurespawn.bypass.cooldown no longer floods a world — it exempts from the cooldown when a chest is asked for by hand, which is its purpose.
