Changelog
Buildmancer has two halves. The jar you install changes rarely; the build service it talks to improves continuously. Only the Update available entry asks anything of you — everything else is either already live or history.
Update availablev0.2.22026-07-20
Security and safety fixes — worth updating
- –⚠️ Server owners should update. `/bm learn` accepted any file path and uploaded what it found, so anyone who could run it could read files off your server that have nothing to do with Minecraft. It now only reads schematics, only from the schematics folder, and only up to 16 MB.
- –`/bm edit` rebuilds where the original was, on Paper. It had been flattening your build and putting the reworked one wherever you happened to be standing.
- –Editing a build after travelling to another world no longer clears a patch of the world you're standing in. Buildmancer now remembers which world a build belongs to and says so if you're in the wrong one.
- –A single malformed build can no longer jam the queue on Paper — previously it would stall every later build, from every player, with no way to clear it.
Past releasev0.2.12026-07-20
Complete sculpts, honest reporting, and a terrain-safety fix
- –Sculpts place every block again. The mod had been silently discarding roughly one block in ten — always the single-block details, so eyes, whiskers, thin legs and the rim of every curve went missing while it still reported success. (That half is already fixed for everyone, with no update needed.)
- –It tells you what happened again. After “Placing your build…” the mod had been going quiet: no block count, no teleport link, and no warning when nothing was placed because commands weren’t allowed or the area wasn’t loaded.
- –⚠️ Paper servers should update. A block-clearing step could widen into a full-volume delete when it met a block id your Minecraft version doesn’t know, erasing terrain and anything built nearby. It now skips the step instead.
- –Colour is visible to Buildmancer again — its own renders collapsed every dye to brown, so it could never see, or correct, a wrong colour in its own work.
Superseded by v0.2.2. Nothing to do — this is here for the record.
Past releasev0.2.02026-07-20
Paper/Spigot plugin — Buildmancer reaches current Minecraft
- –A second jar: a Paper/Spigot plugin covering 1.21.11 – 26.2, including the current release. Players join from a vanilla client with nothing installed.
- –The Fabric mod stays 1.21.11-only until Mojang and Fabric publish mappings for newer versions — that gap is upstream, not ours.
- –Terrain-aware placement: gardens, paths and companions now sit on the ground they're built on rather than the house's height.
Superseded by v0.2.2. Nothing to do — this is here for the record.

508 learned styles, and prepaid credits
- –The style library grew from 370 to 508 original profiles — swiss chalet, moroccan riad, viking longhouse, teahouse, brutalist and more now have their own materials and proportions instead of falling back to a generic look.
- –Prepaid credits: buy a pack, paste the key into your config. No new download, and nothing to type in-game.
- –The free allowance is now 15 credits a day (a house or scene costs 1, a sculpt 5).
Running Buildmancer on a server? The service half updates for everyone at once — you only ever need to redeploy for a jar release.
