BeautyQuests

Note

This release contains a great number of changes in data storage. Thus, you would be well-advised to backup your data before installing: both the /plugins/BeautyQuests directory AND your database (if using one).

2.0.0 took a full year to be made (first commit is dated 2024/10/04). All this time is not for nothing: it laid the foundation for more flexibility in how the player data is handled, making global quests or party progress sharing possible! See the "code-wise changes" section below for more information.

Changelog

Scoreboards

• Fixed a timing issue where quests did not stay long enough in the scoreboard
• No longer showing scoreboards-related errors when version is incompatible
• Added quests pinning to scoreboard
  • Use Shift+Left Click on a quest in the /quests menu to pin it to the scoreboard.
  • When quests are pinned, they will be the only ones shown in the scoreboard and it will cycle among them only, without showing the non-pinned quests.
• Added an auto hide setting for the scoreboards (disabled by default).
  • When enabled, the scoreboard will automatically hide itself after the set amount of seconds when no progress has been done to the quests shown on it.

Miscellaneous

• 1.21.6 to 1.21.10 support
• Dropped support for versions < 1.17 and Java < 17
• Removed WorldGuard 6 support (useless since the it only supports MC up to 1.12.2)
• Added a new mythicmobs.count kill for pet owner option to make kill made by MythicMobs pets count for their owners
• Added a tooltip for "smelt items" stage to help users understand which items to put in the editor
• Added a "custom ordering index" quest option to customize the order the quests appear in the /quests menu
• Added the questsMenu.keep menu open config.yml option
  • This option, enabled by default, makes the /quests menu stay open after the player starts or cancels a quest
• Fixed mobs or blocks editing causing "Cannot find object with UUID" errors
• Updated FR, HU, RU, TH, VI, ZH translations
• Renamed the --overrideRequirements option of /quests start to --force (and made it working)
• Removed the --id flag of the /quests create command, now the quest ID is simply an optional parameter
• Suppressed particles load message from the console (now only found in the log file)
• Fixed integration with ZNPCs 5.2
• Made plugin no longer remapped on Paper
• Updated IT and RU translations

Code-wise

• Refactored everything about the way player data is stored, for cleaner code and higher flexibility
  • This also means the YAML format and SQL schema have been updated
• "Player Accounts" are now known as "Questers"
  • Questers are the basic actors in BeautyQuests
  • They hold data about the quests they do, and can have additional data
  • They can be of different types: Player (by default), Server (in the Expansion), and maybe new ones in the future
• New API is present to create various types of Questers
• New API is present to choose which Questers gain progress when a player does an action related to a stage (e.g. killing a mob)
