Release contains:

Towny 0.96.3.0
TownyChat 0.81
TownyNameUpdater 5.0

Welcome to Towny 0.96.3.0.
This marks the third Minor Release post-0.96.0.0. The original plan was to try for a fairly rapid release schedule of minor releases but as 2020 is want to do, things got a bit weird. While this is a hefty update the db changes are similar to other changes in prior 0.96.*.0 releases, so we're not moving to 0.97.0.0 yet.
Of note: The very first download of Towny was made available to the public exactly 10 years ago today, by Shadeness, for the hMod server platform. So happy birthday Towny! 🎂 Here's some stats from those 10 years:
- 5133 Lines in the changelog.
- 578 Versions released as downloads.
- 461 Completed Tickets (Github only.)
- 437 Merged Pull Requests (Github only.)
- 113 Versions of Minecraft.
- 70+ Contributors (Github only.)
- 14 Languages.
- 2 Repos (r.i.p. GoogleCode.)
This release brings about a major change to the Towny flatfile and mysql databases, relieving Towny of the residents.txt, towns.txt and nations.txt files and two-way relational dependencies between residents/towns and towns/nations. This followed the removal of the townblocks.txt file in 0.96.2.0. Towny is now less prone to safe mode and better able to self-correct when presented with bad data.

This release also adds:
1) UUID Gathering Task (for when Towny eventually doesn't need TownyNameUpdater and supports UUIDs natively,)
2) Town Bankruptcy,
3) Hex colour code support,
4) Faster startups through async backups and
5) a lot more you can read about in the Added section below.
This is usually the spot where I would tell you to go over the changelog carefully for any REQUIRED changes you need to do to you world/config files, but that time is over. Towny is now able to make additions to your config (incl. town_level and nation_level,) and world files, (ie: when new blocks are added to Minecraft,) all by itself.
If you're upgrading from 0.96.2.0 there are 0 REQUIRED changes.
➕ Added

➕ Added:

  • Residents database refactor: removal of residents.txt

    • Towny will no longer save a residents.txt file.
    • Residents are loaded into memory from their files in the towny\data\residents\ folder.
    • After the first run, the towny\data\residents.txt will be deleted.
    • This will remove a cause of lag when new players join the server and reduce the ability for safemode to occur.
    • A resident's town is now only stored in their residentname.txt file.
    • This removes a possible chance for safemode to occur.

  • Town and Nation database refactor

    • Removes towns.txt and nations.txt files on flatfile databases.
      • Loads old towns.txt and nations.txt to ensure that orphaned files in the
        towns & nations folders are not loaded. If successfully loaded, the
        towns.txt and nations.txt files are deleted.
    • Residents now store their Town, and Towns do not store their Residents.
    • Towns now store their Nation, and Nations do not store their Towns.
    • Towny now handles loading a mayor for a town intelligently.
      • If a town attempts to set a mayor who is not part of the town, and the
        town has no residents, the town will be deleted.
      • Closes #4170.
    • Towny now handles loading the capital of a nation intelligently.

  • Big New Feature: Town Bankruptcy.

    • When enabled in the config:
    • Towns which cannot pay their upkeep costs will go into a bankrupt state.
    • While bankrupt their bank will continue to pay upkeep (optional) and continue to pay nation tax (optional.)
    • Their bank balance will go into the negatives until they hit their DebtCap.
    • Debtcap is calculated by the cost of the town, townblock costs and outpost costs.
    • Debtcap can optionally be capped to another number in case a town has an very high natural debtcap.
    • Debtcap can optionally be overridden to a set number applied to all towns.
    • Finally, the debtcap can be made to use the debtCapModifier in the town_level of the config.
      • In the config: economy.bankruptcy.debt_cap.debt_cap_uses_town_level is required to be true.
      • When the above is true, it will use the modifier multiplied by the debt_cap.override value.
    • While bankrupt:
      • Towns cannot invite members.
      • Towns cannot set their town to open status.
      • Towns cannot claim more land.
      • Towns cannot have anything built in their land.
    • Towns can erase their debt by using the /t deposit command.

  • New GatherResidentUUID task.

    • Towny will now pro-actively gather resident UUIDs for residents in a background task.
    • As long as the server is not already at 100% and the config setting plugin.database.gather_resident_uuids is true Towny will gather a UUID every 2 seconds.
    • Gathering begins 60 seconds after the server starts up.
    • It first asks the playercache on your server and if that fails it will ask the MojangAPI.
    • This will prepare your server for the day Towny switches to supporting UUIDs in the database.
    • Big thanks to creatorfromhell for his MojangAPI util.

  • Archive plot-block-data to save HDD space.

    • Towny will convert all existing plot-block-data .data files into .zip files.
    • Drastically reduces size on disk.
    • New plot-block-data are made zipped.
    • Closes #4327.

  • Added: per-world block explosion revert list.

    • Decides which blocks' explosions will be reverted on a per-world basis.
    • Closes #4300.

  • Add fire and air to the list of blocks Towny will not try an explosion regen task on.

    • Improves but doesn't completely solve #4306.

  • When /tw toggle revertunclaim is used, any active reverts will be stopped.

    • Removes necessity to stop the server and manually delete the towny\data\regen.txt.

  • /t outpost list now generates a clickable/hoverable list for easy interaction.
