A New Beginning

Jail-Reloaded 1.0.0 is the first release of this maintained fork of graywolf336’s original Jail plugin, bringing modern Minecraft compatibility, improved prisoner protections, configurable escape gameplay, and expanded language support.

Modern Minecraft Support

• Updated the plugin to API version 1.19, targeting Spigot and Paper 1.19–26.3.
• Updated dependencies and compatibility handling.
• Introduced version 1.0.0 for the fork.
• Removed the outdated upstream update checker and its notifications.

Prisoner Property and Equipment

• Restricted registered cell chests to their assigned prisoner, including protection while cells are vacant.
• Made property chests read-only while movement protection is enabled.
• Improved preservation of inventory slots, armor, offhand items, custom model data, and supported custom item data.
• Improved property handling across transfers, reloads, reconnects, and releases.
• Added required, unbreakable jail uniforms that cannot be removed while movement protection is enabled.
• Prevented issued jail gear from being used for item payments.

Configurable Escape Gameplay

• Disabling moveProtection now allows prisoners to leave the jail region, remove their jail uniform, and reclaim belongings from their assigned chest.
• Reclaimed items are tracked so they are not returned twice upon release.
• Full inventories leave unclaimed belongings safely stored.
• Other players and automated transfers remain blocked from accessing prisoner property.

Jail Creation and Signs

• Selecting signs or double chests with the creation wand no longer opens their interfaces.
• Improved creation instructions, including the required cuboid selection.
• Prevented players from editing registered cell signs.
• Added automatic sign waxing where supported while retaining internal sign updates.
• Prevented cells from sharing registered signs or property chests.

Help and Languages

• Added paginated help with separate player and administrator views.
• Filtered displayed commands by the sender’s permissions.
• Added clickable page navigation.
• Expanded language support to 17 languages.
• Localized messages, creation prompts, help, syntax labels, and default display text.
• Added localized subcommand aliases and tab completion.
• Kept /jail unchanged and retained English commands in every language.
• Improved locale reloading, fallback handling, and preservation of custom wording.

Configuration and Console

• Changed the default storage backend to SQLite.
• Set all seven protection penalties to numeric 0, keeping protections active without adding sentence time.
• Expanded default interaction protections to cover all runtime materials.
• Silenced warnings for newer material names on older supported servers.
• Added detailed configuration comments and original-project attribution.
• Preserved configuration comments when regenerating a deleted config through reload.
• Added a startup console banner and cleaner player-action logging.

Fixes and Reliability

• Improved handling of offline jailings, transfers, reconnects, and cancelled events.
• Fixed jail-region checks across different worlds.
• Improved release and storage-failure handling to protect prisoner records and belongings.
• Improved storage migration handling and support for large inventory records.
• Fixed sentence reductions, release scheduling, and payment rounding.
• Prevented partial payments that provide no sentence reduction.
• Improved AFK tracking, explosion protection, and configuration validation.
• Fixed force-clear targeting and command placeholder handling.

Updating

Back up your configuration, prisoner data, and database before updating. Existing installations retain their saved settings; review the configuration before adopting the new defaults.
