🎁 What's new

This is a bug-fix release for a loot regression introduced in 1.26.0. Chest items were arriving stripped of their item meta — the most visible symptom was enchanted books from the Plains chests with no enchantments on them at all, but it applied to every chest item in every phase: potions, tipped arrows, custom-named items, banners, player heads and written books all came out blank.

If you are on AOneBlock 1.26.0 or 1.26.1, update.

🐛 The fix

Chest items keep their meta again (PR #543)

Since 1.26.0, chest files have been read with plain SnakeYAML rather than YamlConfiguration, so that an item unknown to your server version can be skipped on its own instead of taking down the whole chest file. The side effect was that nothing was deserialized on the way in: an item's meta section arrived as a plain map, and Bukkit's item deserializer silently ignores meta that is not already an ItemMeta. The enchantments, potion effects and names were dropped without a single line in the log.

Chest item definitions are now walked properly and their meta is deserialized before the item is built, so it survives. The 1.26.0 behaviour you want is unchanged — an item that does not exist on your Minecraft version is still skipped with a log line, and the rest of the chest still loads. A meta section that cannot be read now costs only its meta, and says so in the log, rather than losing the item.

Verified on a real Paper 26.2 server against the shipped phase files: 1.26.0 produced 0 of 3 Plains enchanted books with enchantments, this release produces 3 of 3.

No phase file changes are needed. The old-style enchantment names in the shipped phase YAML (PROTECTION_FALL and friends) are still translated by the server, so your customized chest files work as they are.

⚙️ Compatibility

✔️ BentoBox API 3.15.0+ ✔️ Minecraft 1.21.5 or later — the Sulfur Caves phase itself activates on Minecraft 26.2+ ✔️ Java 21

📥 How to update

1. Take backups of your server, for safety
2. Stop the server
3. Drop the new jar into your addons folder and delete the old one
4. Start the server
5. You should be good to go!

Items that players have already looted stay as they are — the meta was lost when the chest was filled, so there is nothing to repair after the fact. Every chest generated from now on is correct.
