Please note: This is essentially a re-write of the plugin in a lot of areas and will require you to setup your players post boxes again - but will better allow me to add new functionality to the plugin moving forward. Lots of cool stuff to come!

To install this plugin, it's best to download a backup of your existing config and then start fresh. You can follow the setup guide here:

Change Log

  • Plugin now uses player UUIDs, no longer relying on player names!
  • Post boxes are now stores in a barrels config once registered.
  • New permission node allows a player to claim a registered post box by themselves if desired.
  • Post boxes are now registered/claimed using commands - no longer restricted by their name fitting on the line.
  • Added visual "You have mail" message to the post box sign.
  • Added StructureGrow event checks to post box protection.
  • Rewrote config handling/reloading.
  • Players now receive a notification when a post box is set up for them, if they're online.
  • Moved all messaged from config to a new lang file.
  • Better handling color codes in lang file.
  • Added additional keys to the lang file.
  • Disabled update check if unable to pull latest version from API.
  • Disabled update check if using a dev build.
  • Added use permission node, deny this to prevent players from using the post office system.
  • Large scale project cleanup/refactoring.
