v1.5.0 - The Holograms & Calendar Update! 📅🔮
This update brings two of the most requested features to make scheduling your Nether opening easier, along with a massive visual upgrade for your portals!
✨ New Features:
- Specific Date & Time (Calendar Mode): You no longer need to calculate how many minutes are left for your event! You can now set an exact real-world date in the config (e.g.,
2026-07-12 17:30) and the plugin will automatically calculate the countdown. (You can still use the classic relative timer if you prefer). - Temporary Holograms: When a player attempts to enter a sealed portal, a floating, highly-optimized holographic countdown will spawn directly inside the portal frame for a few seconds. Fully compatible from 1.16 to 1.21!
🔄 Command & Logic Changes:
- Fixed
/netherblocker reload: Reloading the plugin will now only refresh your visual settings, texts, and effects without altering the active running timer. - New Command
/netherblocker reset: We've added a new command specifically for hard-resetting the timer. This will delete the active countdown and recalculate a fresh one using the values in yourconfig.yml.
⚠️ Important Note for Updating:
Because this version introduces the newspecific-dateanddisplay.hologramfeatures, you MUST regenerate yourconfig.yml.
Please delete your oldconfig.ymlfile and let the plugin generate the new one upon restarting the server!
