Bukkit

version 4.2.3:

Major Update to the PlayerHeads plugin with support for all 1.13+ mobs, introduces more reliable head-texturing support, and expands upon the configurability and consistency of the plugin.

Backwards-compatbility notes:

• Recognizes older username-based heads and updates them when dropped as items
• Some configuration changes may be needed since 3.12.13, 3.12 and lower (see below)
• It is strongly recommended if updating from 3.x to remove your previous configuration/lang files to generate new ones - if you do not wish to do this, read the below changes carefully to know how to modify your files.

Changes since 3.12:

• Changed: Adds code-shims that replace 1.12 behavior with 1.13-supported behavior
• Fixed: Fixes several cases where a NullPointerException can occur for unknown heads
• Changed: Corrected configuration and language settings for the Wither boss and Wither Skeleton to match their updated Entity name [Backwards-Incompatible Change]
  • lang entries `WITHER` changed to`WITHER_SKELETON` to match entity name
  • lang entries `WITHER_BOSS` changed to `WITHER` to match entity name
  • config entry `witherdroprate` changed to `witherskeletondroprate` to match entity name
  • lang entries `witherbossdroprate changed to witherdroprate to match entity name
• Fixed: Possible NullPointerException when user without `clickinfo` permission interacts with a head.
• Fixed: Fixed mobhead name resolution when the owner name changes after owner is resolved. (name case changes)
• Fixed: Changes drop conditions to apply to skeletons properly for updated entity types
• Fixed: Fixed wither skeleton incorrectly reading drop rates from wither boss' configuration

• Changed: Legacy (username-based) head support has been deprecated, but is still recognized as valid mobheads
• Added: New (texture-url-based) head support added as default for drops. these should be more maintainable and searchable than the old heads. (since 4.0-alpha)
• Added: Adds a mob-head drop for every living entity in 1.13 (aside from armor stands and giants)
• Fixed: Handled several null-head-owner bugs from 3.x
• Fixed: Corrected spacing in lang file entries that require it.
• Added: New config option: `dropvanillaheads` (default: true) - sets whether applicable mobs should drop their associated vanilla head item when killed. If this is false, the mob will drop a skinned playerhead instead. This also affects which head is dropped when breaking a plugin-recognized head. (since 4.1.1-alpha)
• Added: Lore for plugin-added heads.
• Added: New config option: `convertvanillaheads` (default: false) - When false, avoid converting the type of head of when its block is broken. When true (or pre-4.2), the head is automatically converted to vanilla or skinned depending on the state of `dropvanillaheads` setting. (since 4.2.1-alpha)
  • Setting this to false keeps heads as they were when placed and broken
  • Setting this to true forces items to convert to the desired drop type (vanilla or skinned) when broken.
• Changed: Behavior for player and mob-head drops now requires `canbehead` or `canbeheadmob` permission regardless of the state of `pkonly`, permitting more specific configuration of the plugin and more consistent permission behavior. You are still able to reproduce the old behavior by ensuring the default permissions group for players has the `playerheads.canbehead` and `playerheads.canbeheadmob` permission when you disable `pkonly`/`mobpkonly`. [Backwards-Incompatible Change]
• Added: New spam prevention when players hold down or spam right-click on placed heads. (for users with the `playerheads.clickinfo` permission).

Known issues:

 * using /ph rename without a name argument may return an error message - this should be fixed in 4.2.4 development versions or the next release.
