Release 26.1 - FREE

· 3 min read

Very clean title :)

Structory Free 26.1 is not a flashy feature dump. It is the cleanup release that makes the free version easier to trust, easier to build, and much harder to accidentally mix with Premium-only code.

If you are coming from the old 1.x line, this is the first release built from the new public Free repository.

What changed for server owners​

  • The Free plugin is now its own clean project.
  • The core structure/crafting code is shared through structory-core.
  • Premium-only systems are no longer bundled into the Free codebase.
  • The plugin version and default config.yml version are both 26.1.
  • folia-supported: true is now declared in plugin.yml.
  • The build uses the updated DadaPlatform release with the ActionBar fix.

The important part: Free still does what Free is supposed to do. It keeps the normal multiblock/crafting workflow without dragging in the bigger Premium editor and option stack.

Free features kept intact​

Free still includes the core Structory experience:

  • multiblock structure detection;
  • structure-based crafting;
  • physical recipe slots;
  • saved item ingredients and results;
  • notify/actionbar/title messages;
  • basic particle and firework options;
  • recipe picker GUI;
  • custom recipe files;
  • config, messages and GUI resources;
  • saved custom items through /structory item ....

Folia and scheduler work​

This release moves the Free build onto the newer DadaPlatform scheduler layer.

That means Structory no longer relies on the old Bukkit scheduler paths for the parts that were already migrated. It is a better base for Folia servers and modern Paper servers.

Still, do not read this as "every plugin combination is magically Folia-safe". If your setup uses other addons, those addons must also behave correctly on Folia.

ActionBar fix​

ActionBar messages should now be sent as real action bars instead of falling back into chat.

For example, messages like:

Now you can craft serious items

should appear in the action bar area, not as a normal chat line.

Update notes​

Back up your plugins/Structory/ folder before updating.

Structory compares the version in config.yml with the plugin version. If your existing server config still says an old version, Structory may create a backup and regenerate the default config. That is expected.

If you have already checked your config and want to avoid another backup, make sure this line is present:

version: 26.1

For developers​

The Free repository now has two Maven modules:

  • structory-core
  • structory-free

structory-core is also the artifact used by Premium. This keeps the shared behavior in one place instead of copying classes between two branches.
