LandWard 1.0.2.0

Fresh update checks and localized administrator notifications.

Added

• Colored, localized update summaries in the console and on login for operators
  and players with landward.pladmin, controlled by updates.notify-on-join.

Fixed

• Compare all four release-version components and refresh GitHub metadata before
  showing update information or selecting a download.
• Restore clickable update status on Paper and Spigot and target LandWard's
  namespaced command so another plugin's /claim cannot intercept the click.
• Follow GitHub download redirects and select the verified universal release
  JAR rather than a reduced Hangar artifact or stale release metadata.

Operators and players with landward.pladmin receive login notices when updates.notify-on-join is enabled. Downloading an update still requires landward.admin. Downloads are staged; replace the plugin JAR with the server stopped.

Use LandWard-1.0.2.0.jar for the universal Paper/Spigot build. The smaller LandWard-1.0.2.0-hangar.jar is the dedicated Hangar artifact.

Documentation

LandWard 1.0.1.6

Native anvil fixes and clearer claim menus for Paper and Spigot.

Added

• Separate building and entity-interaction controls for public Safe Zone access.
• Localized hover explanations for settings and menu actions in all 13 languages.

Changed

• Compact, aligned player and administrator menus with consistent back/close
  navigation and clearly positioned settings, member management and delete controls.
• Paginated world, land and member lists with red/blue page controls, remembered
  pages and valid-page recovery after entries are removed.
• PvP controls show a short unavailable explanation when world or WorldGuard
  rules prohibit PvP; clicking cannot override those rules or change the stored setting.

Fixed

• Native anvil land creation, renaming and owner transfer now use the entered
  text on Paper and Spigot. Confirmation labels can no longer be saved as names.
• Bundle the Adventure text API needed by standalone Spigot installations.
• Honor effective WorldGuard PvP flags, including the global region, when
  displaying and handling PvP controls, independently of operator bypass.
• Keep the bundled config version synchronized with the release version.

Download LandWard-1.0.1.6.jar for the universal Paper/Spigot build. The smaller LandWard-1.0.1.6-hangar.jar is the dedicated Hangar artifact.

Documentation

LandWard 1.0.1.5

Fixed

• Added a Spigot-safe confirmation control for anvil text entry.
• Restored Spigot client-language selection and removed the internal .config-defaults.yml update file.

LandWard 1.0.0.1

Fixed

• Verified LandWard 1.0.0.1 on both Paper 26.2 and Spigot 26.2.
• Removed Paper-only runtime calls so one JAR supports both platforms.
• Optional integrations, including BlueMap, remain safely inactive when their plugin is not installed.

Requires Java 25 and Paper or Spigot 26.2+.
