GUI Features

Better Homes includes a clean inventory interface designed for regular server use:

- Main homes menu - Page selector menu - Home edit menu - Delete confirmation menu - Buttons for teleport, move, rename, public toggle and delete - Configurable icons and item lore - Configurable rows, titles, sounds and filler items - Pagination for players with many homes

Teleport Safety

The teleport system is designed to prevent common home-related issues:

- Configurable warmup delay - Configurable cooldown - Movement cancellation - Damage cancellation - Combat cancellation - Safe destination search - Block danger checks for lava, fire, cactus and similar hazards - World whitelist/blacklist support - Optional per-world permission checks

Storage

Better Homes uses YAML storage by default. Player homes are saved automatically and loaded on startup.

The internal storage layer is interface-based, making it easy to add SQLite or MySQL support later without rewriting the home system.

Configuration

The plugin generates:

- `config.yml` - `messages.yml` - `homes.yml`

You can configure:

- Home limits - Teleport delay - Teleport cooldown - Safe teleport behavior - GUI layout - GUI icons - Sounds - Effects - Messages - Allowed or blocked worlds - Shared/public home behavior - Command behavior

Compatibility

Better Homes is compiled against the Bukkit 1.8.8 API and avoids direct usage of modern-only API calls.

Material, sound, title and effect handling uses compatibility helpers and fallback names, which makes the plugin suitable for a wide range of Bukkit, Spigot and Paper versions.

Installation

1. Download `BetterHomes.jar`. 2. Put it in your server's `plugins` folder. 3. Restart your server. 4. Edit `plugins/BetterHomes/config.yml` and `messages.yml`. 5. Run `/betterhomes reload` or restart the server again.

Why Better Homes?

Better Homes is built for server owners who want more than a basic `/home` command. It provides a complete home management experience with a professional structure, strong configuration options and a user-friendly GUI.

It is lightweight, dependency-free and designed to stay stable on active servers.
