YoTPA

Changelog v1.6.0

New Features:

• /back command — teleports you to your previous location after a TPA or death (single-use, location is consumed on use)
• Death location tracking — death spot saved automatically so you can /back after respawning to collect your items
• Configurable /back cooldown — back-cooldown in config.yml (default: 30s, set 0 to disable)
• Daily update notifications — plugin re-checks for new releases every 24 hours; online OPs/admins are notified once when a new version is found, completely silent if nothing changed
• Full Folia regionized-server support — auto-detected at startup, no configuration needed

Improvements:

• Thread-safety: post-teleport sendMessage and playSound now correctly dispatched on the player's region thread on Folia
• TeleportData now stores destination as UUID instead of a live Player reference — eliminates zombie references and cross-region access on Folia
• PerformanceSettings cached on enable/reload — no per-tick object allocation on hot paths
• Single batch task drives all Paper countdowns — O(1) scheduler overhead at any player count
• Sound objects resolved once at config load — zero registry lookups at runtime per sound play

Bug Fixes:

• Teleport no longer sends a false success message if another plugin cancels the teleport event
• bStats titles_enabled chart now reads the correct config key (features.titles)
• TPA requests for disconnected players now cleaned up immediately on quit instead of waiting for the expiry timer
• bStats and update checker tasks are now properly cancelled on plugin disable

New Permissions:

• yotpa.back — access to /back (default: everyone)
• yotpa.bypass.back-cooldown — skip the /back cooldown (default: OP)

Server Compatibility:

• Fully Tested: Paper 1.21.x – 26.1.x, Folia 1.21.x, Purpur 1.21.x
• Should Work: Pufferfish, and any Paper/Folia fork
• Requires: Java 21+ (1.21.x servers) / Java 25+ (26.1.x servers)

Breaking Changes:

• None. Drop-in replacement for v1.5.0.

Migration from v1.5.0:

1. Stop your server
2. Replace YoTPA-1.5.0.jar with YoTPA-1.6.0.jar
3. Start your server — existing config.yml and messages.yml are fully preserved
