Welcome to the Hangar Open Beta. Please report any issue you encounter on GitHub!
Allium v0.2.4a
Wiki: https://github.com/castledking/Allium/wiki
Highlights
- Vault softdepend crash fixed — Allium no longer crashes at startup when Vault is absent. All Vault-typed fields and method signatures were changed to
Object, with casts at call sites.VaultEconomyProvideris only created when Vault'sEconomyclass is actually loadable. TheFormatChatListeneris skipped entirely when Vault Chat isn't available. - PacketEvents softdepend crash fixed — Allium no longer crashes at startup when PacketEvents is absent. The
Glowcommand andGlowListenerare guarded behindisPacketEventsAvailable(), and theglowCommandfield was relaxed fromGlowtoObjectto prevent class loading. - CrowBar 128-block radius limit removed — Added
shouldBeVisibleIgnoreDistancetoPartyManagerso players beyond 128 blocks remain visible on the locator bar, with only same-world and forced-visibility checks applied. - NPC locator bar flash fixed —
PartyManager.updatePlayerVisibilitynow checksviewer.canSee(target)before callingshowPlayer, preventing NPC info packets from being resent every 5 ticks when the NPC is already visible.
Bug Fixes
| Bug | Root Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Plugin fails to enable without Vault | Vault types in field/method signatures cause NoClassDefFoundError during class loading; new VaultEconomyProvider runs before Vault availability check |
Changed Vault-typed fields/methods to Object; guarded VaultEconomyProvider creation; skipped FormatChatListener when vaultChat == null |
| Plugin fails to enable without PacketEvents | Glow class references PacketEvents types in method signatures; new Glow(this) at unconditional line 1524 forces class loading |
Guarded Glow/GlowListener creation behind isPacketEventsAvailable(); changed glowCommand field to Object |
| Players beyond 128 blocks hidden on CrowBar | shouldBeVisible applies distance filtering which limits range to 128 blocks |
Added shouldBeVisibleIgnoreDistance that skips distance check while keeping same-world and visibility overrides |
| NPCs flash on locator bar every 5 ticks | updatePlayerVisibility calls showPlayer unconditionally every interval |
Guarded showPlayer behind viewer.canSee(target) |

Technical Details
Vault Class Loading Fix
Paper 1.21+'s PluginClassLoader eagerly resolves type references during class definition. Having Vault types in field declarations or method return types causes NoClassDefFoundError even when the code path never executes. Fix: all Vault-typed fields and return types are now Object, with casts at every call site.
PacketEvents Class Loading Fix
Same mechanism as Vault — PacketEvents types in Glow's method signatures crash class loading. Glow is now only instantiated when isPacketEventsAvailable() returns true, so the class is never loaded on servers without PacketEvents.
