Migration guide from Version 4.x.x to Version 5.0
The new version comes with a fully redesigned interface. This page details steps to take to ensure compatibility.
Most configurations work out of the box - Please note that 5.0 is backwards incompatible with 4.9.4 or older.
- Remove old Html Customization files from
/plugins/Plan/webor/config/Plan/web. The old web files are not compatible with the redesign. (Customizing the new files is still possible) - Remove
theme.ymlor lines withDefaultColor,FontStyleSheet&FontFamily - Update the plugin as usual by replacing the jar and restarting the server.
- (Networks) Bukkit or Sponge servers automatically disable their Webserver if a Bungee/Velocity is detected in the database (They are no longer needed). Close the unused ports in your firewall if necessary.
- Activity Index playtime threshold should be adjusted due to drastic change in the formula for the heuristic.
Activity index formula was rewritten to be easier to explain and understand. It is based on playtime per week for last 3 weeks, where the threshold value in the config affects the activity index.
Here is an image of the curve where y is the activity index and x is playtime per week divided by threshold.
- If someone plays as much as threshold every week, they are given activity index ~3
- Very active is ~2x the threshold
- The index approaches 5 indefinitely.
- Only non-afk playtime is taken into account
The index is average of the formula for last 3 weeks (each week considered separately). See code for the calculation

Some features have been removed after consideration.

- Partially anonymized IPs have been removed because they were of little use on their own
- Server Health Index heuristic was removed due to inaccuracy as well as oversimplification
- PluginData support was removed due to removal of server<->proxy connections
-
