# TrialChamberPro ### What's new in 1.4.0 / 1.4.1 - **MiniMessage everywhere.** Every message in `messages.yml` now accepts modern [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html) syntax — gradients, click events, hover tooltips — alongside the classic `&` codes. Existing files keep working unchanged; opt in line by line. - **Smarter auto-discovery.** Natural Trial Chambers that span multiple adjacent chunks no longer register as several separate chambers. BFS results are automatically merged into the nearest existing chamber (configurable merge distance, hard volume cap) so your chamber list stays clean. - **Flatter admin GUI.** The redundant Settings → Plugin Settings → Global Settings click-path is gone. Global Settings and Protection Settings are now directly on the main menu — one click instead of three. - **Startup schema check for `messages.yml`.** If your file is missing keys after a plugin upgrade, you'll see a clear console warning listing every absent key and a four-step fix. No more silent `` placeholders in chat. Bypass with `debug.skip-messages-schema-check: true` if you prefer not to see it. - **Trial spawner wave tracking fixes.** `SpawnerWaveManager` now reads real mob-count values from `TrialSpawnerConfiguration` instead of a hardcoded guess. A periodic sweep force-completes stalled waves, and destroying a spawner mid-wave now clears its boss bar. Plus everything from the 1.3.x line: **custom mobs** (MythicMobs, EliteMobs, EcoMobs, LevelledMobs, InfernalMobs, Citizens), **fully translatable GUI** (~330 `gui.*` keys), **Bukkit events API**, **spawner presets**, **`/tcp give`**, and **Minecraft 26.x support** via the `-mc26` build. 📘 **Full documentation:** https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation — most questions are answered there, and every section below links to its own detailed page. --- **The definitive Trial Chamber management plugin for multiplayer servers.** Transform Minecraft's Trial Chambers from single-use dungeons into renewable, multiplayer-ready content. Automatic resets, per-player loot, custom rewards, griefing protection — and it all works out of the box. --- ## Why TrialChamberPro? Vanilla Trial Chambers weren't designed for multiplayer. The first player takes everything, vaults stay locked forever, and griefers destroy spawners. **TrialChamberPro fixes all of that.** | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | First player gets all loot | Per-player vault system with individual cooldowns | | No way to reset chambers | Automatic scheduled resets with player warnings | | Griefers break spawners | Full protection system with optional WorldGuard support | | Paper trial key bugs | Built-in fixes for known Paper issues | | No progression tracking | Statistics, leaderboards, and PlaceholderAPI support | | Setup overhead per chamber | **Auto-discovery** — chambers register themselves | --- ## Two-Line Plug-and-Play Setup For most servers, the only thing you need to configure is this: ```yaml # plugins/TrialChamberPro/config.yml discovery: enabled: true # find natural trial chambers automatically auto-snapshot: true # capture blocks so resets can restore them ``` Restart once. Fly or walk through your world — every natural trial chamber registers itself as its chunks load, with per-player loot, protection, and automatic resets already active. Done. > Why it's opt-in: on **old** worlds that pre-date 1.21, players sometimes build decorative structures out of tuff and copper blocks. The auto-detector could register those as chambers. On fresh worlds there's no risk. [More detail in the docs →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/config.yml#auto-discovery-of-natural-trial-chambers) Prefer manual control? You can still register chambers with WorldEdit (`/tcp generate wand MyChamber`) or by coordinates — see [Your First Chamber](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/getting-started/your-first-chamber). --- ## Features ### Core Systems - **Auto-Discovery** — natural chambers register themselves on chunk load + startup sweep. [Docs →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/config.yml#auto-discovery-of-natural-trial-chambers) - **Automatic Resets** — chambers restore on schedule with configurable warnings, or set interval to `0` for manual-only. - **Per-Player Vaults** — everyone gets their own loot with separate cooldowns. - **Full Protection** — block break/place, container access, mob griefing prevention. WorldGuard-aware. - **Statistics & Leaderboards** — vaults opened, mobs killed, time spent. [Docs →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/guides/statistics) - **Admin GUI** — `/tcp menu` does everything. No YAML editing required. ### Advanced Loot - **Multi-Pool Tables** — common / rare / unique pools like vanilla, fully configurable. [Docs →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/loot.yml) - **Per-Chamber Overrides** — assign a different loot table to any specific chamber. - **GUI Editing** *(new in 1.2.26)* — open `/tcp menu` → Loot Tables, click a table, and edit it. Changes save to `loot.yml` instantly. - **Custom Plugin Items** — drop Nexo, ItemsAdder, or Oraxen items directly from vaults: ```yaml - type: CUSTOM_ITEM plugin: nexo # or itemsadder / oraxen / craftengine / mythiccrucible item-id: mythic_sword weight: 5 ``` - **Custom Model Data** — set `custom-model-data` on any vanilla item for resource-pack integration. - **Command Rewards** — run any console command as loot (economy deposits, permission grants, XP). - **Potion & Tipped Arrows** — full attribute support including Bad Omen III–V ominous bottles. - **LUCK Integration** — optional bonus rolls for players with the LUCK effect. ### Multiplayer Enhancements - **Spawner Wave Tracking** — boss bar shows wave progress as players fight. Hysteresis-based despawn means the bar disappears when you leave the area *(improved in 1.2.26)*. - **Spectator Mode** — dead players can watch teammates complete the challenge, bounded to the chamber. - **PlaceholderAPI** — 20+ placeholders for scoreboards, holograms, tab lists. ### Technical Excellence - **Folia Native** — full support for regionized multithreading. - **Paper / Purpur / Pufferfish** — works on all major Paper forks. - **Async Architecture** — Kotlin coroutines, zero main-thread blocking. - **Dual Database** — SQLite (default) or MySQL with connection pooling. - **WorldEdit / FAWE** — optional, used only if you want selection-based chamber creation. --- ## Fully Translatable Every user-facing string lives in `plugins/TrialChamberPro/messages.yml`. Want your server in French, Chinese, Spanish, or Klingon? Edit one file, `/tcp reload`, done. Supports `&`-style color codes, `{placeholder}` substitution, and Adventure Components for boss bars. 📘 [Full message reference →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/messages.yml) --- ## Quick Start (manual mode) Prefer not to use auto-discovery? Classic workflow still works: ``` 1. Drop the JAR in your plugins folder 2. Start your server 3. Select a Trial Chamber with WorldEdit (//wand) 4. Run: /tcp generate wand MyChamber 5. Run: /tcp snapshot create MyChamber (enables auto-reset) 6. Done! ``` --- ## Commands (at a glance) | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/tcp menu` | Open the admin GUI (does everything) | | `/tcp generate wand ` | Register chamber from WorldEdit selection | | `/tcp reset ` | Force immediate reset | | `/tcp snapshot create ` | Enable automatic resets | | `/tcp loot set ` | Override loot for a chamber | | `/tcp stats [player]` | View statistics | | `/tcp leaderboard ` | View top players | | `/tcp reload` | Reload config & loot tables | 📘 [Full command reference →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/reference/commands) --- ## Permissions (essentials) | Permission | Description | Default | |------------|-------------|---------| | `tcp.admin` | Full admin access | OP | | `tcp.stats` · `tcp.leaderboard` | View own stats / leaderboards | Everyone | | `tcp.spectate` | Use spectator mode after death | Everyone | | `tcp.bypass.cooldown` | Ignore vault cooldowns (careful: removes progression!) | OP | | `tcp.bypass.protection` | Build in protected chambers | OP | | `tcp.discovery.notify` | Get notified when auto-discovery registers a chamber | OP | > **Heads up:** `tcp.bypass.cooldown` is granted to OPs by default. If you're testing cooldowns as an OP, they'll appear broken — either test as a non-OP or explicitly negate the permission. 📘 [Full permissions guide with rank examples →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/reference/permissions) --- ## Requirements | Requirement | Version | |-------------|---------| | **Minecraft** | 1.21.1+ (use `-mc26` JAR for 26.x) | | **Server** | Paper, Folia, Purpur, or Pufferfish | | **Java** | 21+ | ### Optional Dependencies - **WorldEdit / FastAsyncWorldEdit** — selection-based chamber creation. - **WorldGuard** — additional region protection. - **PlaceholderAPI** — scoreboard / hologram placeholders. - **Vault** — economy command rewards. - **Nexo / ItemsAdder / Oraxen / CraftEngine / MythicCrucible** — custom items in loot tables. - **LuckPerms** — permission command rewards. --- ## Essential Configuration Sensible defaults work out of the box. The three settings most servers actually tweak: ```yaml global: default-reset-interval: 172800 # 48 hours. Use 0 for manual-only resets. vaults: normal-cooldown-hours: -1 # -1 = vanilla (locked until chamber reset) ominous-cooldown-hours: -1 # Set a positive number for per-player time cooldown. discovery: enabled: true # Auto-register natural chambers. Opt-in. auto-snapshot: true # Allow auto-discovered chambers to restore on reset. ``` 📘 [Full config.yml reference →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/config.yml) · [loot.yml reference →](https://darkstarworks.gitbook.io/darkstarworks-plugins/tcp-documentation/configuration/loot.yml) --- ## PlaceholderAPI (summary) 20+ placeholders for player stats (`%tcp_vaults_opened%`, `%tcp_mobs_killed%`, `%tcp_time_spent%`), current state (`%tcp_current_chamber%`), and leaderboards (`%tcp_top_vaults_1_name%` through `_10_`).
