Towny Advanced 0.99.4.0

Release contains:

Towny 0.99.4.0
TownyChat 0.107

Welcome to Towny 0.99.4.0.
Towny 0.99.4.0 is the fifth release in the 0.99.*.* series!
0.99.4.0 supports all versions of Minecraft 1.16 and newer.
This version is a hotfix version which fixes an issue with the Towny worlds' entity explosion revert lists, found in your database in the PlotManagementWildRegenEntities line.
I am also including the full changelog for the 0.99.3.0 release below, because of how recently this update happened.
This is a drag-and-drop update: just replace your old .jars with the new ones and Towny will take care of the rest of the update by itself.

📕 Config Changes (5)

📕 New Config Options (5)

📕 New Config Options:

These new settings will be added to your config with their default settings.

• new_world_settings.plot_management.revert_on_unclaim.block_whitelist

  • Default: "",
  • The list of blocks that are allowed to regenerate, if this list is empty then all blocks will regenerate.
  • This list is useful for when you want only 'natural' blocks to regenerate like stone, grass, trees, etc., useful when you allow players to build/destroy in the wilderness.
  • Like other options in the new_world_settings section, this is only applied as a default setting for new worlds. Configure the list found in the towny\data\worlds\WORLDNAME.txt files.

• town.overclaiming.town_age_requirement

  • Default: 7d
  • When in use, requires that a town be of a minimum age in order to overclaim another town. This prevents new towns being made just to overclaim someone.
  • Default is for 7 days.

• town.overclaiming.command_cooldown

  • Default: 0m
  • When in use, requires an amount of time to pass before the /t takeoverclaim command can be used again.

• economy.bankruptcy.debt_cap.debt_cap_uses_fixed_days

  • Default: false
  • When true a town will only be allowed to be bankrupt for a specific number of days, before they will be deleted, requires delete_towns_that_reach_debt_cap to be true.

• economy.bankruptcy.debt_cap.allowed_days

  • Default: 7
  • When debt_cap_uses_fixed_days is set to true, how many days will a town be allowed to be bankrupt?
