# Ice Boat Racing - v2.3-RELEASE ## Changelog * _Major_ bug fixes! * Better command suggestions ## Known issues * The feedback message for `/checkpoint view [race]` will send a `MESSAGE NOT FOUND` error, although the message is correctly added to the language file.

# Ice Boat Racing - v2.2 ## Changelog ### `/race prepare` bug: * **Fixed** - the racers wouldn't be able to move when `/race prepare` was ran before `/race start` ### LiveScore: * Updated the _old_ LiveSideBar to have **more info** (lap count and pit stops). * Format can be customized in the lang files (`liveScore.format`) ### PitBoxes: * Switched from names to **UUIDs** as identifiers (more reliable) * **Backward compatibility**: will convert old pit boxes that are still using names. * **Fixed** the tab **suggestions** when using `/pitbox setAllowed [race][player names...]` (the names suggestions didn't work as intended) ### Race Lights: * Now **easier** to set/modify: * Added `/race setLights` * Use easy-to-use pos1/pos2 with a wooden shovel to define * Updated the way they were stored and placed ### Messages: * The side bar title has been moved from `noPrefix.liveSidebarTitle` to `liveScore.title` * Added playerNeverJoined for PitBoxCommand.java * Updated some help messages for the commands as they didn't use the same format and added the missing help message for `/car`. * `checkpoint.pos.1/2/notSet` were moved to `pos.1/2/notSet` as they are now used for setting the race lights > So if you use a custom language file, I suggest you update it so that no messages are missing for you.

# IceBoatRacing v2.1 ## Changelog * Collisions: > Disabled server-side collisions when [PacketEvents](https://modrinth.com/plugin/packetevents) is installed. (So boats collisions shouldn't be as glitchy as they currently are in Vanilla Minecraft) * Race start rotation: > Updated the `/race command` to support `/race setStartRotation` and start rotation now gets auto-applied after autotracing. * 🔧 Technical: > Added 3 new lang messages: `currentStartRotation`, `updatedStartRotation` and `invalidStartRotation` > Cleaned up the code for the `/race` command > Removed unused permissions

# IceBoatRacing v2.0 A major update adding mandatory pit stops to races — full box detection, a per-team freeze-and-countdown sequence, and F1-team-themed visuals — plus disqualification handling for racers who skip them. ## ✨ Major Features ### 🅿️ Pit Box System Racers can now be required to stop at a pit box mid-race, just like a real pit lane. - New `PitBox`/`PitBoxManager` classes: each race can define any number of pit boxes, stored in the same `race.yml` as checkpoints and cars. - Detection is folded directly into the existing checkpoint-crossing tick loop — no separate listener re-walking every racing boat. - Entering an eligible box freezes the boat in place (velocity zeroed every tick) for a configurable duration — no early exit needed, since the freeze itself keeps the player inside the trigger zone. - Adaptive title countdown (`5, 4, 3... Go!`) synced to each box's configured duration, with a rising-pitch pling on completion — mirrors the existing race-start light sequence. - One occupant per box at a time; a box can be restricted to specific player names or opened to everyone (`*`). - New `PitBoxCreator`: a guided, step-by-step wand-based setup (name → location → duration → allowed players → color), following the same chat-driven flow as `RaceCreator`. - New `/pitbox create|list|remove|setAllowed|setColor` commands, with inline edit/color/remove/teleport buttons in `/pitbox list`. ### 🎨 Team-Themed Colors Each pit box can be colored, including full gradients — not just solid colors. - Preset color list rather than free-form hex input, so anyone setting up a box just types a name. - Real F1 team livery gradients: McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari, Williams, VCARB, Aston Martin, Haas, Alpine, Audi, and Cadillac. - Plus solid basics (red/blue/green/gold) and a few extra gradients (the plugin's own ICE brand gradient, fire, rainbow). - Colors apply live to the "BOX BOX" call and countdown title, so each team's stop feels distinct. - Fully editable post-creation via `/pitbox setColor <race> <id> <color>`. ### 🏆 Mandatory Stops & Disqualification - Races now have a configurable required pit-stop count (`/race setPitStops`, same pattern as `setLapCount`). - Racers who cross the finish line without completing the required number of stops are marked disqualified with an immediate broadcast notice. - Final ranking now correctly reconstructs finish order from crossing order (previously relied on unordered map iteration) and lists disqualified racers separately at the bottom under a `DSQ` marker, below all qualified finishers. ## 🌍 Localization - Full `fr_FR`/`en_US` coverage for every new pit box message, command, and creation step. ## 🛠️ General / Technical - `PitBoxManager` mirrors `CheckpointManager`'s save/load conventions exactly, so pit box storage follows the same per-race config pattern as everything else. - Pit box task type is stored as an enum (`TIMED` for now) rather than hardcoded, so future task types (e.g. skill-based stops) won't need a config migration. - Lowered the minimum supported Paper version to **1.21.4** — the version `registerCommand()` was introduced in, and also the version Paper hard-forked from its former Spigot upstream on, making it effectively the floor for the current Paper API. Built and tested with Java 21, no errors. ## 📝 Notes Pit boxes ship as a v1: timed stops only, mandatory, no early exit. Task variety (beyond a simple timer) and finer-grained enforcement (e.g. blocking the finish line itself rather than DSQ-ing after the fact) are natural next steps if you want to build on this.

# Ice Boat Racing 2.0-BETA-2 ## Bug fixes update Downgraded Paper build and Java version to actually support 1.21.9 and later (and nothing changes on modern versions). Added /checkpoint autotrace add. Actually fixed `/checkpoint autotrace resize` (fr this time). Added centerline preview in autotrace preview. Updated `/checkpoint create` to work with planes. Fixed CheckpointManager#getNearestCheckpoint (would cause a branch of `/checkpoint remove` to not work properly). Updated some messages. Position set messages now won't show it the position hasn't changed. Checkpoint#getCenter now also supports BOX checkpoints (propably fixing a bunch of bugs btw). RaceCreator's cancel operation now actually cancels. --- ### Disclaimer This is still a beta version of v2.0, so it will probably contain bugs.

# IceBoatRacing 2.0-BETA 1 Fixed a bunch of bugs including: - Fixed `/checkpoint autotrace resize` - `/checkpoint remove` now supports new checkpoints - Fixed `/race setLapCount` Added automatic race load when loading a world gets loaded and saved when a world gets unloaded. *Full changelog on the previous version*

# IceBoatRacing v2.0-BETA A major update focused on **multi-race support**, a brand-new **auto-trace checkpoint system**, and a big pass on stability, translations, and race-finish feedback. This is a **BETA** release — core features are implemented and playable, but some older systems are still being polished and re-tested. --- ## ✨ Major Features ### 🏁 Multi-Race System IBR now supports **multiple simultaneous races** instead of a single global race. - New `Race` class: every race (checkpoints, cars, sectors, data) is now scoped to its own race instance instead of being global. - `RaceManager` can load, save, and manage many races at once. - Cars, checkpoints, and sectors are all race-aware. - Races can be started/ended/prepared directly from `Race.java`, without needing to go through `RaceManager`. ### 🧙 RaceCreator: Guided Race Setup A new guided, step-by-step process for creating a race from scratch, replacing manual/scattered setup steps. ### 🛰️ Auto-Trace Checkpoint System A brand new way to place checkpoints — record a lap and let IBR trace the track for you instead of manually placing every checkpoint with a wand. - Full language/config support for auto-trace messages. - Integrated directly into the `RaceCreator` guided flow. - New `/checkpoint view <Race>` command to visualize all checkpoints of a race. ### 🌍 Localization - Full French (`fr_FR`) and English (`en_US`) language files, including translated error and ranking messages. - Auto-trace and checkpoint messages now support the language config system. ### 🏆 Ranking & Finish Stats - Races now send a full **ranking** when they end, with proper error handling/logging. - Players get a personal **stats message** when they finish a race, including best sector times (fixed a bug where these previously wouldn't display correctly). --- ## 🚤 Cars - Added support for **chest boat** cars. - Prevented players from creating more than one car per race. - Fixed cars not deleting properly (config path bug). - Fixed the car listener not stopping cars from moving before a race starts. - Cars are now removed before respawning to prevent duplicate boats. - Improved handling of cars when a player disconnects and reconnects mid-race (start location, logging, etc.). ## 🏎️ Races - Races now automatically end when the last racer disconnects. - Racing gamemode is now enforced and configurable, along with `spectateOnFinish`, via `config.yml`. - Added `/race setLapCount`. - Added support for players disconnecting and reconnecting during an active race. - Players can now skip a checkpoint if needed. - Fixed `/race delete` reading from the wrong race list. - Fixed race name lookups not supporting spaces. ## 🛠️ General / Technical - Migrated the project from **Maven to Gradle**. - Plugin version in `build.gradle.kts` is now kept in sync with `paper-plugin.yml`. - Rewrote `README.md`. - Added automatic reload when a world loads. - Various dev quality-of-life improvements. - Numerous bug fixes and project warning cleanups throughout (checkpoint/car commands, tab completion, sidebar scoring, sector/finish messages, and more). --- ## 📝 Notes This is a **BETA** build — auto-trace and several reworked systems are still being play-tested. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome!

**Disclaimer: This is an alpha, as it doesn't contain any new groundbreaking feature.** - **Removed** LuckPerms dependency, as it wasn't used - Limited to only **1 passengers per car** during a race (otherwise racers could hop in other racer's cars) - Added **temporary ranking** that will be sent in the console on race end (**planning** on implementing a better one) - Racers will automatically be put in **spectator** mode when they **finish** the **race**

**Disclaimer: This is an alpha, as it doesn't contain any new groundbreaking feature.** - Added comments in the default config and language configs to make them easier to understand. - Can now configure race lap count in config under `race.lapCount` > *= The required laps to complete the race*

## Additions - Plugin now supports **multiple languages** - Cars now support custom names -> Better support for the race cars texture pack - Car rotation on race start is now customisable in config under the path `race.startRotation` - Added race lights (like colored glass that change color during the countdown) - configurable in config under `race.lights.[...]` ## A bunch of fixes - Fixed `/ibr reload` (now actually reloads) - Race world is now set correctly - Fixed `/ibr` where prefix would show correctly - Config would sometimes not be saved - And more...
