SmartInventory 1.5 — Secure Access Update

SmartInventory 1.5 brings a new access system, better compatibility, persistent settings, and many internal improvements.

New access system

SmartInventory now uses deny-by-default access. New players cannot use its features until an administrator gives them permission.

You can manage individual players with:

/smartinv admin <player> on
/smartinv admin <player> off
/smartinv admin <player> status

You can also manage the built-in access group:

/smartinv admin group add <players...>
/smartinv admin group remove <players...>
/smartinv admin group list

Optional LuckPerms permissions were also added:

smartinventory.use
smartinventory.smartinv
smartinventory.smartchest
smartinventory.admin

Improvements

• Player preferences are now saved in player-settings.yml.
• Settings are preserved after reconnecting or restarting the server.
• /smartinv on|off|status now controls both inventories and containers.
• All commands are now unified under /smartinv.
• Missing language keys are added automatically without replacing custom messages.
• Added complete translations for 10 languages.
• Improved command suggestions and language messages.
• Added automatic validation for plugin.yml and language files.

Fixes

• Fixed unauthorized players being able to use the plugin.
• Fixed new players starting with features enabled.
• Fixed preferences being lost after restarts.
• Fixed Folia scheduler and shared-data issues.
• Fixed malformed plugin.yml files.
• Fixed missing and incomplete translations.

Removed

The following commands were removed:

/smartchest
/smartinventoryadmin
/siadmin

Their functionality is now available through /smartinv.

Updating

Stop the server, replace the old JAR, and start it normally. Do not use /reload.

Existing players must now be authorized through /smartinv admin, the internal group, or a permission plugin.

🚀 SmartInventory 1.4

🌍 Better Compatibility

SmartInventory is now fully compatible with:

• ✅ Folia
• ✅ Paper
• ✅ Purpur
• ✅ Spigot

Enjoy the same inventory system across all major server platforms.

🌐 Full Language Support

The plugin now includes a fully configurable language system.

All language files are properly generated and saved to disk, making it easy to translate SmartInventory into any language without losing your changes.

✨ Improvements

• Added full Folia support.
• Improved compatibility with Paper, Purpur, and Spigot.
• Reworked the language system.
• Language files are now correctly saved to disk for easy customization and translation.

SmartInventory v1.3 — Compatibility Update (Paper & Spigot)

✅ What changed

• Replaced the old Spigot/Bungee ActionBar implementation (player.spigot().sendMessage(...) with net.md_5.bungee.api.*) with Adventure-based ActionBar (player.sendActionBar(Component)).
• Kept legacy color support by deserializing §-style formatted text into Adventure Component.

🎯 Why this was changed

• The previous ActionBar method could behave inconsistently across newer server versions.
• Using Adventure is the modern, stable approach supported by Paper and compatible with modern Spigot setups.

✅ Compatibility

• Works on Paper: 1.20.6 → 1.21.11
• Compatible with Spigot builds that include Adventure / modern Bukkit API behavior.

📌 Notes for server owners

• No config changes required.
• This is a drop-in update: just replace the jar and restart the server.

SmartInventory v1.2 — Security Update (GUI Protection)

This update adds a small but important protection to prevent item exploits when interacting with plugin menus.

✅ What was happening?

Some server menus/GUI inventories (shops, selectors, custom UIs) are technically “chest-like” inventories. SmartInventory could mistakenly treat them as real containers — meaning players could use hotkeys like F (swap offhand), double-click, or shift-click to move “blocked” menu items into their own inventory.

🔒 What’s fixed in v1.2

SmartInventory now only activates SmartChest features on real containers opened from the world, such as:

• Chests (including double chests)
• Barrels
• Shulker Boxes

Any GUI/menu inventory from other plugins is ignored, preventing players from extracting protected items.

🧠 What this means for servers

• ✅ No more “free items” from menus
• ✅ No more stealing icons/locked items from GUIs
• ✅ SmartChest sorting and quick-transfer still work normally on real storage blocks
• ✅ Better compatibility with shop/menu plugins

Thanks for using SmartInventory — more QoL improvements soon!

SmartInventory – Update

🔁 Block Swap Polishing

• Improved and polished the block swap behavior when placing blocks while holding an item in the offhand.
• Swapping between the block you place and the item in your secondary hand should now feel smoother, more predictable, and consistent during building.

---

🖱️ Easier Double-Click Sorting

• The double-click sorting logic has been adjusted and simplified.
• Now, while holding any block in your hand, you can:
  • Double-click any empty slot inside a container (chest, barrel, etc.)
  • SmartInventory will instantly sort the entire container.

No need to aim at a specific item stack anymore — just double-click on an empty slot and let the plugin handle the organization for you.

v1.0 – First release

• Added Smart Inventory core

  • Auto-refill for blocks, food and throwable items in your hotbar
  • Auto-swap tools, weapons and armor when they break

• Added Smart Chest

  • Chest and player inventory sorting by type, name or category
  • F key quick-pull / quick-stack / dump inventory between chest and player

• Added per-player toggles:

  • /smartinv on|off|status
  • /smartchest on|off|status

• Added basic localization: English, Spanish and German
