- `griefdefender_trust_container` should have -72 weight
- `griefdefender_trust_accessor` should have -73 weight

4. Set 'luckperms-playerdata' to true in migrator section of global.conf.
Note: If you do not see this setting, simply add it manually and set to true.

Another quick fix to apply same changes from 2.5.4 to '/claimexpand' and '/claimcontract'


2.5.5 Changelog

* Fix transferred children claims being able to resize without having manager trust in parent when using '/claimexpand' or '/claimcontract'

This update addresses a few important issues with previous 2.4.X releases.

MC 1.20.2 Support

This release adds support for Minecraft 1.20.2 servers.


Performance

GD's permission lookups have been completely re-hauled by reducing the amount of LP queries done per action. Server owners should see a significant performance boost with these changes.


Config Protection

Previously, if a server owner attempted to modify a GD config while server was running and made a syntax error it would lead to errors in console or crash. With the new update, after server has successfully loaded, if GD detects a broken config during '/gdreload', it will automatically revert back to last successful config state. This should provide server owners a piece of mind when needing to change configs live.


Changelog

* Add MC 1.20.2 support.
* Add workaround for spigot bug causing crops to be duped in certain conditions.
* Add proper NPC support with new `#npc` context that replaces `minecraft:player`
* Refactor permission checks by reducing amount of LP queries per action.
* Fix permission lookups causing `default-groups` in flag definitions not to work properly.
* Fix gddebug not showing events called by GDHooks.
Note: For example, MythicMob spawns now properly show up in gddebug.
* Fix EntityChangeBlockEvent not checking blacklist.
* All main configs will now revert back to last successful loaded state when an error is detected.
* Invalidate cache after claim transfer.
* Ignore falling blocks during events.
* (Hybrid) Add workaround for Mohist issue when calling 'state.getBlock()' during BlockBreakEvent for blocks that are not placed in a world.

Changelog

* Fix block cache causing tracking issues with water flow, snow form, etc..
* Fix player bucket placement sometimes bypassing protection.
* Fix water-flow definition not accounting for crops.
Note: To add this fix, you can regenerate minecraft.conf preset or add the following line to water-flow definition "flag=liquid-flow, source=minecraft:water, target=#crops"
* Fix IllegalStateException during PlayerTickTask.
* Fix flag group selection screen in inventory GUI showing when user only had access to 1.
* More fixes to ensure tadpoles age into frogs.
* Add new root-command-aliases setting to global.conf which allows admins to adjust GD root command aliases.
* Add getHighestTrust playerdata cache.
* Add load-claims-async setting to storage.conf
Note: This controls whether or not claims should be loaded async during server startup and only affects DB storage.
* Add sign-edit definition to prevent players from editing sign text by default.
Note: The sign-use definition is only for interactions. You should have sign-use set to true by default.
* (MC 1.20+) Add sign edit protection.
* Improve default user experience with claim flags. All users will now default to PUBLIC flags in GUI. The previous flag group types OWNER, ACCESSOR, CONTAINER, BUILDER, MANAGER will now require the following permissions :

griefdefender.advanced.user.gui.flag.group.owner 
griefdefender.advanced.user.gui.flag.group.accessor 
griefdefender.advanced.user.gui.flag.group.container 
griefdefender.advanced.user.gui.flag.group.builder
