Added
- New addon-facing Bukkit service API for external integrations:
- `com.logichh.capturezones.api.CaptureZonesApi`
- `com.logichh.capturezones.api.CaptureZonesActionResult`
- Core plugin now registers/unregisters the API service on enable/disable.
- API includes:
- Snapshot endpoints (overview, zones, captures, KOTH, shops, statistics, configs, data files)
- Safe action methods for admin flows (zone/capture/KOTH/shop/stats/config operations)
- Capability discovery via `getCapabilities()`
- `repairSchema(...)` API responses now report `legacyTownOwnerRebindCount` after repair runs.

Economy & Shops
- Added a dual-mode economy path for shops and money rewards:
- Uses Towny accounts when Towny ownership is active.
- Falls back to Vault-backed player economy support where available.
- Shops are no longer locked to Towny-only startup conditions when a valid Vault economy provider is installed.
- Added `Vault` support metadata so economy providers can be resolved cleanly in standalone deployments.

Ownership & Migration
- Town-owned zones now store stable Towny UUID-backed owner IDs instead of name-derived IDs for newly normalized Towny owners.
- Towny-backed owner display names now refresh from live Towny data, so zone ownership labels follow town renames once the zone is using a stable owner ID.
- `/cap admin repair` and `/cap admin migrate` now also attempt to rebind legacy Towny owner references to stable IDs when the current town still resolves.
- Repair output now reports how many legacy Towny owner references were rebound.

API & Stability
- Active capture snapshot rows now include:
- `zoneName`
- `initialPreparationTime`
- `initialCaptureTime`
- Shop economy backend resolution now revalidates correctly across reloads and provider changes instead of holding a stale backend selection.

Commands & UX
- `/cap list` output was cleaned up:
- Shorter footer line
- Consistent `Capture Zones` header text instead of old `Capture Points` wording
- The in-game update notification was redesigned into a cleaner compact format.

Fixes
- Fixed Towny rename handling so UUID-backed town owners no longer keep showing stale cached names after a town rename.
- Fixed the in-game update notification link so it always points to the official Modrinth page:
- ` https://modrinth.com/plugin/capturezones`

Commands & UX

• Consolidated admin command routing under /cap admin ... and updated help output to match.
• Added /cap tp [zone_id] teleport flow for active captures:
  • Single active zone: direct teleport.
  • Multiple active zones: choose a target zone.
• /cap tp is now fully gated by settings.capture-teleport-enabled:
  • Hidden from help/tab-complete when disabled.
  • Returns a disabled message if used while off.
• Added KOTH admin control and assignment flow:
  • /cap admin koth <start|stop|status|assign|unassign|zones>
  • Assigned-zone pool is stored in koth.activation.zones.
• /cap admin koth start now defaults to assigned KOTH zones only, and skips unassigned zones if explicitly passed.
• Removed legacy command surface that is no longer part of gameplay/admin flow:
  • /cap settype
  • /cap test
  • /cap testall
  • /cap protectchunk

Configuration & Migration

• Added explicit concurrent capture controls:
  • settings.capture-concurrency.allow-multiple-zones
  • settings.capture-concurrency.max-active-zones
• Added bossbar visibility radius control:
  • settings.bossbar-visibility-radius-chunks
• Added global reinforcement spawn throttle:
  • reinforcements.spawn-rate.global-max-per-tick
• Enforced settings.max-capture-points at zone creation time so over-limit creations are blocked cleanly.
• Removed unused global config sections that are now handled per-zone or deprecated:
  • anti-exploit
  • point_types
  • point-type-defaults
  • worldguard
• Clarified and separated schema-repair modes:
  • /cap admin migrate = non-destructive migration for plugin-owned data/config files (add/fix missing or invalid schema paths).
  • /cap admin repair = same non-destructive behavior as migrate (alias for safe schema repair).

KOTH

• Added optional KOTH subsystem with:
  • Scheduler (koth.schedule.*)
  • Zone selection modes (koth.activation.selection-mode)
  • Reward routing (koth.rewards.*)
• Added command-based KOTH zone assignment that writes back to config (assign / unassign).
• KOTH hold radius logic is square-based.
• Added temporary surface outline rendering during active KOTH (red concrete ring around hold radius) with full block restoration on end/stop.
• Dynmap/BlueMap info windows now switch to KOTH-specific details while a zone is active, then revert to normal zone view.
• Added optional KOTH-specific hologram line templates (koth.hologram.*).

Zone Gameplay & Reinforcements

• Added per-zone keep-inventory setting for active captures:
  • capture.capture.keep-inventory-on-death
  • Keeps inventory/XP and suppresses drops when enabled for that zone.
• Death cancellation messaging now supports localized non-player killer labels in lang/en.json:
  • Reinforcements
  • Environment
  • Unknown
• Added reinforcement spawn Y controls for better indoor/multi-level behavior:
  • reinforcements.spawn-location.y-mode (SURFACE, ZONE_CENTER, ORIGIN_PLAYER, CLAMPED)
  • reinforcements.spawn-location.clamp-range

Fixes

• Fixed missing item-reward editor open message path by supporting both key styles:
  • messages.zoneconfig-itemrewards-opened
  • messages.zoneconfig-itemrewards.opened

Performance & Stability

• Major backend optimization for servers with many active zones.
• Smarter zone lookup/player scanning to reduce unnecessary checks.
• Boundary particles and holograms now pause/short-circuit when nobody is close enough to see them.
• Reload/shutdown cleanup was hardened to prevent stale tasks, bossbars, markers, and holograms.
• Upgrade migration is safer: missing config keys are auto-added without overwriting existing server values.

Zones & Capturing

• Added full cuboid zone support.
• Added a cuboid selector tool workflow for admins to pick corners more easily during zone creation.
• Added optional auto-capture when entering a zone (with anti-spam debounce).
• Capture ownership now supports players, towns, or nations.
• Added contested capture state when competing owner groups are inside the same zone.
• Added optional grace timer before capture is cancelled/reset after attackers leave.
• Added per-zone capture cooldowns and anti-instant-recapture options.
• Added optional same-town/same-nation recapture prevention rules.
• Force-capture now applies the same cooldown/lock behavior as normal successful captures.
• Beacon beam now reflects phase color (yellow in preparation, red in active capture).

Rewards, Progress & Combat Flow

• Expanded reinforcement behavior options (wave scaling, per-wave caps, spawn tuning, targeting modes).
• Added configurable capture speed modifiers.
• Added modern item rewards (including custom items) with inventory-full handling options.
• Added permission-based economy reward modifiers.
• Added permission grant rewards (temporary or permanent).
• Expanded bossbar/actionbar controls for normal, contested, and grace states.

Admin & Configuration

• Per-zone override behavior is now clearer and more reliable.
• Zone config tab completion now suggests a much broader set of settable paths.
• Added in-game item reward editor GUI (/capturezones zoneconfig <zone> itemrewards).
• New zone config files are cleaner: template banner text is no longer copied into every zone file.
• Legacy data folder migration is automatic (plugins/TownyCapture -> plugins/CaptureZones).

Integrations

• Towny integration is now optional (standalone usage is supported).
• PlaceholderAPI coverage is much more complete for zone/global/player state.

Fixes

• Fixed capture/preparation leave behavior that could continue in some cases.
• Improved moved-too-far cancel messaging to support player-name output.
• Fixed zone-template migration edge cases on existing servers.
• Dynmap and BlueMap marker/icon behavior is fixed.

Version 1.0.8 - [2025-12-02]
Fixed

• Critical: Fixed post-deletion capture completion spam. Deleting a zone during an active capture session no longer triggers "no town was found" warnings or completion callbacks.
• Added defensive guards in completeCapture() to prevent execution if the capture point has been removed from the registry.
• Zone deletion and capture stopping now properly cancel all scheduled tasks (preparation/capture timers) and remove boss bars to ensure clean state.

Added

• Startup Banner: Added ASCII art banner displaying "TOWNY CAPTURE" on server startup with version and author information.

Made it impossible for towns to capture a zone they already control
(If Town 1 owns the zone, they can no longer re-capture it.)
Added a 5-minute cooldown between any captures on the same zone
(If Town 1 captures the zone, Town 2 must wait 5 minutes before attempting a capture.)
Both features are now fully configurable in config.yml.

Everything from here can be edited in config.yml
Added (Boundary visualization, weekly resets are modular)
Modular boundary visualization modes (ON / REDUCED / OFF) with safe task cleanup.
Reinforcement optimization: per-tick spawn limiter, queued spawns around the capturing player, smarter targeting, and cleanup on cancel.
Dynmap infowindow now fully localizable and template-configurable (HTML-friendly placeholders, item payout placeholder).
Weekly reset system (configurable day/time) that neutralizes points and flags a configurable first-capture bonus.
Hourly reward mode selector (STATIC vs DYNAMIC range) alongside existing daily/hourly scheduling.
Fixed/Changed
/capturepoint deletezone now requires an explicit CONFIRM and actually removes zones from saved data.
Capture point saving no longer skips empty datasets, preventing deleted zones from respawning.
Boundary auto-visualization respects config modes and cancels tasks when disabled.
(Rewrote last 2 version updates completely, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5)

Command cleanup and /capturepoint reload fix

Implemented localization system:
Active language for messages (default: "en")
Supports both short codes ("en", "fr") and full locales ("en_US", "fr_FR")
Falls back to "en" if selected language is not available
To change language: Create a file like "de.json", "fr.json", "es.json", "it.json", or "zh_CN.json" in /lang/ folder, copy the contents of en.json, translate the values, and set language to match the filename (without .json)

change the language in config
default config for language:
language: "en"

Added a feature where towns get rewards on hourly basis instead of towny day
Added choosing between hourly based rewards or towny day rewards in config.yml
