New Protection Support

ArcaneBuilder now includes stronger protection checks to help stop schematics being used to grief protected land or player claims.

Added Compatibility For:

• WorldGuard
• GriefPrevention
• Residence

Before a schematic preview starts, ArcaneBuilder now scans the queued build blocks and checks whether the player is allowed to build in those locations.

This helps prevent players from placing a Builder Chest near protected land and using a schematic to build into another player’s claim, region, or residence.


Improved Build Safety

Improved:

• Schematics are checked before the preview starts
• Builds can be checked again while blocks are being placed
• Builds stop if protected land is reached mid-build
• Builder Chests are returned if a schematic is blocked
• Protection plugins can be toggled individually in config
• Admin bypass permission added for trusted staff

Bypass Permission:

Only give this permission to trusted staff, as it allows building through protected areas.


New Config Options

New protection settings have been added:

Recommended: Keep Check-Step set to 1 for the safest protection, as this checks every schematic block before allowing the build preview.


Update Notes

• Back up your config before updating
• Regenerate or manually add the new protection config section
• Make sure any protection plugins are updated for your server version
• WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, and Residence should be added as soft-dependencies

New Lang System Improvements

This update expands ArcaneBuilder’s language/customisation system, giving server owners much more control over the plugin’s messages, menus, item names, and command wording.

Added:

• New and improved lang.yml message system
• Most player-facing messages are now routed through lang.yml
• Builder chest name and lore can now be customised
• Build style GUI title, buttons, names, and lore can now be customised
• Preview, confirm, cancel, undo, protection, and build-progress messages are now configurable
• Command argument names and aliases can now be edited from lang.yml

Command Customisation:

Server owners can now customise subcommands such as:

• /ac reload
• /ac style
• /ac schematic
• /build confirm
• /build cancel
• /build undo

For example, you can change:

to something like:

directly from lang.yml.

Important: The main command /ac is still controlled by plugin.yml. The new lang system controls the command arguments and aliases after it.


Improved Server Owner Control

This update makes ArcaneBuilder much easier to customise for different server styles, languages, and branding.

Whether your server uses a clean modern style, fantasy theme, or fully custom command wording, you now have more control without needing to edit the plugin code.

Changed:

• Hardcoded GUI text replaced with configurable lang paths
• Hardcoded build messages replaced with configurable lang paths
• Command checks now support lang-based names and aliases
• Tab completion now follows the configured command names
• Missing message paths now safely show a missing lang warning

Fixed:

• Small issue in the lang utility class
• Improved lang reload handling
• Cleaner support for message lists, item lore, and menu text

Recommended

After updating, make sure to regenerate or update your lang.yml so the new message paths are added.

If you have already customised your old lang file, back it up before replacing it.

Small addition, when cancelling builds the chest is returned to you when preview is active.

What's new:

• WorldGuard checks have been added to prevent players using chests to grief inside protected areas.
• GriefPrevention - Checks have been added to prevent players using chests inside claims that they do not own.
• Gui Menu - There is now a menu that admins can use to change the style in which schematics are built. (STYLES -> LAYERED / CENTER_OUT / OUTSIDE_IN / RANDOM / SPIRAL / TOP_DOWN)

Commands:

• /ac reload - Reloads the config if you change anything within the file itself.
• /ac style - Opens the Gui menu in-game.
• /ac schematics <Schematic> - Separated the command args to be cleaner.
• Everything is TAB completable

Schematics will now always be centre behind the chest when placed, this is to help with lining up your builds properly rather than it being offset to the side.
