New Features

Updated runtime version checking

A lot of issues have come up recently due to people updating Nucleus but not their Sponge servers. I’ve updated the version check on start to gracefully fail if Sponge API 7.1 is not found.

This is NOT to check for updates. This is a compatibility check. This will also fail with bleeding Sponge builds - but Nucleus doesn’t work with them anyway.

You can disable this check by setting the nucleusnocheck property (-Dnucleusnocheck).

Added /unsignbook (or /unsign) for making written books writable

Note that this feature requires SF/SV 7.1.3 or above, or the equivalent implementation

This command requires that you hold the book in your (or the target’s) hand.

[API] Added NucleusTextTemplateEvent

This event is fired when a NucleusTextTemplate is sent to command sources. If the originator is the broadcast or plain broadcast commands, this event will be NucleusTextTemplate.Broadcast.

[API] Relaxed requirements for the cause for the Home events

They used to require the PluginContainer at the root, now they don’t.

Under the Hood Changes

These are changes that should not affect players, but are here for informational purposes, and may be of interest to developers working on the Sponge platform seeking greater understanding of Nucleus.

Chat formatting

The way the chat messages are handled by Nucleus has been changed slightly. This is due to research after an issue opened by XadepSDK concerning compatibility with Nanochat. Nucleus now uses the Sponge modular chat system and does less to break compatibility with other plugins that might want to add tokens to chat.

If you wish for maximum compatibility with Nucleus, please either:

• Use the Nucleus Message Tokens system
• Add SimpleTextTemplateAppliers to the event formatter, rather than unilaterally changing the body/header/footer.

Minor changes

• Removed -b flag for /tp, it didn’t do anything anyway. Use -f instead.

Bugfixes

• Fix class cast exception when using some chat plugins in combination with Nucleus
• Fix cooldowns on /tpa being created regardless of success (now it’ll only start when a teleport has occurred).

Known Issues

• Sometimes, an incorrect custom prefix might be selected. Nucleus uses whatever the permission plugin hands back, check your inheritance with the permissions plugin.
