Release Notes
MailboxGUI 5.0.1 - Backend Access & Offline Player Admin Sends
MailboxGUI 5.0.1 is a small feature update focused on network/backend server access and improved admin mail targeting.
New: /mailbox open / /mb open
A new optional command-based mailbox access feature has been added:
/mailbox open
/mb open
When enabled, players can open the main MailboxGUI menu directly from a command. This is useful for backend servers, Velocity network setups, or servers where players may not have direct access to physical mailboxes, Post Office boxes, or Post Office NPCs.
This feature is disabled by default.
mailbox:
command-open:
enabled: false
New permission:
mailboxgui.player.open
Players also need the normal base permission:
mailboxgui.player.use
New: offlineplayers Admin Recipient Tag
Admin send commands now support the new offlineplayers recipient tag.
Supported commands:
/mba sl offlineplayers 'Welcome to the server' --from ExampleServer --delay 10
/mba sp offlineplayers ...
/mba scod offlineplayers ...
/mba sm offlineplayers ...
This allows admins to send mail to all known offline players without sending to players who are currently online.
Recipient tags now include:
allplayers
onlineplayers
offlineplayers
The new tag also works with MailboxGUI network-aware player tracking where available.
Language Update
Language files have been updated to:
file-version: 12
New translated messages were added for the command mailbox access feature and related help menu text.
DiscBridge Compatibility
MailboxGUI-DiscBridge does not need to be updated for this release.
MailboxGUI-DiscBridge 1.0.0 works with MailboxGUI 5.0.1.
The new /mb open command does not affect DiscBridge, and the new offlineplayers admin recipient tag still uses the existing MailboxGUI delivery events that DiscBridge already supports.
Updating
You can update manually by replacing your current MailboxGUI jar with MailboxGUI 5.0.1 and restarting the server.
You can also update from the server using the built-in update command:
/mba update
If an update is available, confirm it with:
/mba update confirm
Then restart the server to complete the update.
The update command downloads and stages the new jar for the next restart. It does not live-reload the plugin.
Velocity / Network Setup Note
If you run MailboxGUI on multiple backend servers, run the update command on each backend server that has MailboxGUI installed:
/mba update
/mba update confirm
Then restart each backend server so the whole network is updated.
Notes
/mb openis disabled by default.offlineplayersis intended for admin send commands.- DiscBridge users can stay on MailboxGUI-DiscBridge 1.0.0.
