๐ฆ DeliveryDrones โ Changelog & Feature Overview
๐ New in Version 1.0.1 (Current Update)
This update focuses on precision landing mechanics, safer player-following behaviors, and robust configuration options to ensure your drones never get stuck or lost.
| Category | Feature / Change | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Landing | Pre-Landing Safety Check | Drones now scan for a valid, safe landing point on the ground instead of hovering awkwardly mid-air. |
| Landing | Precision Notifications | Status updates now display the exact <distance> in meters from you to the drone, replacing the old generic delivery radius. |
| Follow | Airborne-Follow | Drones will perform an airborne-follow routine before attempting to land (triggered by large falls, controlled via airborne-follow-min-height). |
| Follow | Instant Ground Relocate | If a player makes sudden ground contact while gliding (Elytra + Airborne), the drone instantly relocates to them (limited to once per delivery). |
| Config | New Options | Added follow-airborne-player-before-landing and airborne-follow-min-height to the configuration file. |
| Docs | Project Cleanup | Fully updated the README and Roadmap to match the 1.0.1 specification. |
โ Core Features (Added since 1.0.0)
If you are upgrading from an older beta or missed the 1.0.0 documentation, here is a breakdown of the powerful systems permanently integrated into the plugin:
๐ World & Performance
- Cross-Dimension Flight: Drones seamlessly travel across dimensions, delivering items between the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.
- Performance Optimizer: Built-in throttling and particle-culling engines ensure zero server lag, even during high-density deliveries.
- Drone Persistence (
drones.yml): Active drones are saved automatically. If the server restarts or crashes, your drones resume their tasks upon startup.
โ๏ธ Mechanics & Automation
- Elytra-Follow (
follow-gliding-player): Drones dynamically track and chase players actively gliding with Elytra wings. - Container Auto-Unload: When a drone lands on a designated "Socket," it automatically unloads its inventory into chests or hoppers directly beneath it.
- Collection Animation: A smooth, custom visual effect triggers the moment a player collects a drone.
๐ Administration & Control
- Fine-Granular Permissions: Take absolute control over who uses the system with specific nodes like
drone.send.players,drone.socket.place, and more. - Feature Toggles: Easily enable or disable entire gameplay loops using
players-enabledandsockets-enabledswitches. - The
/drone locateCommand: Lost a drone? Run this command to generate a distinct particle trail leading directly to your landed drone (requiresdrone.locate). - Localization Support: Hardcoded messages are gone. The plugin natively supports multiple languages via
languages/*.yml(de,en,es,fr,ru,zh).****
