# TrialChamberPro<\/p>\n
### What’s new in 1.4.4<\/p>\n
– **Vanilla loot is now one copy-paste away.** Two ready-to-use loot tables \u2014 `vanilla-normal` and `vanilla-ominous` \u2014 ship inside `loot.yml` as a commented section. They’re faithful three-pool recreations transcribed directly from Mojang’s own datapack JSONs, so if you (or your players) just want unmodified Minecraft 1.21 Trial Chamber drops, you don’t have to build them yourself. Uncomment the block, run `\/tcp reload`, done.<\/p>\n
Plus everything from the 1.4.x line: **MiniMessage everywhere**, **smarter auto-discovery** that merges chambers spanning multiple chunks, a **flatter admin GUI**, a **startup schema check** for `messages.yml`, **trial spawner wave tracking fixes**, and the **chamber pause state** added in 1.4.3. And from 1.3.x: **custom mobs** (MythicMobs, EliteMobs, EcoMobs, LevelledMobs, InfernalMobs, Citizens), **fully translatable GUI** (~330 `gui.*` keys), **Bukkit events API**, **spawner presets**, **`\/tcp give`**, and **Minecraft 26.x support** via the `-mc26` build.<\/p>\n

## Premium Add-on Modules<\/p>\n
TrialChamberPro is, and always will be, **completely free**. But after a lot of requests from server owners wanting to push things further, we now offer optional premium modules for servers that need more.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd37 TCP-WildSpawners
\nPlace TCP preset spawners **anywhere on your survival map** \u2014 no Trial Chamber required. Hand them out via shops, crates, or staff commands. Wherever a player puts one down, it summons your custom mobs. Includes an in-game GUI editor, per-preset griefing protection, holograms, mob tether, creative pick-block, and state-preserving mining so players can relocate a live spawner without losing cooldown progress.<\/p>\n
Requires TrialChamberPro v1.4.0+ (free).<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc49 **esmp.fun\/plugins** \u2014 purchase & download<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udd36 TCP-VaultCrates
\nThe **first crate plugin that doesn’t use chests.** Vanilla Trial Vaults are the only Minecraft block with built-in per-player loot state, two visual tiers (normal + ominous), a key mechanic, and a dramatic open animation that doesn’t need a resource pack. TCP-VaultCrates lets you register vaults anywhere on your map as crates with configurable loot pools and per-tier keys. Hand keys out via shops, missions, or \u2014 when paired with TCP-WildSpawners \u2014 drop them from spawner mobs.<\/p>\n
Requires TrialChamberPro v1.4.0+ (free).<\/p>\n

**The definitive Trial Chamber management plugin for multiplayer servers.**<\/p>\n
Transform Minecraft’s Trial Chambers from single-use dungeons into renewable, multiplayer-ready content. Automatic resets, per-player loot, custom rewards, griefing protection \u2014 and it all works out of the box.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Why TrialChamberPro?<\/p>\n
Vanilla Trial Chambers weren’t designed for multiplayer. The first player takes everything, vaults stay locked forever, and griefers destroy spawners. **TrialChamberPro fixes all of that.**<\/p>\n
| Problem | Solution |
\n|———|———-|
\n| First player gets all loot | Per-player vault system with individual cooldowns |
\n| No way to reset chambers | Automatic scheduled resets with player warnings |
\n| Griefers break spawners | Full protection system with optional WorldGuard support |
\n| Paper trial key bugs | Built-in fixes for known Paper issues |
\n| No progression tracking | Statistics, leaderboards, and PlaceholderAPI support |
\n| Setup overhead per chamber | **Auto-discovery** \u2014 chambers register themselves |<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Two-Line Plug-and-Play Setup<\/p>\n
For most servers, the only thing you need to configure is this:<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\n# plugins\/TrialChamberPro\/config.yml
\ndiscovery:
\n enabled: true # find natural trial chambers automatically
\n auto-snapshot: true # capture blocks so resets can restore them
\n“`<\/p>\n
Restart once. Fly or walk through your world \u2014 every natural trial chamber registers itself as its chunks load, with per-player loot, protection, and automatic resets already active. Done.<\/p>\n
> Why it’s opt-in: on **old** worlds that pre-date 1.21, players sometimes build decorative structures out of tuff and copper blocks. The auto-detector could register those as chambers. On fresh worlds there’s no risk. More detail in the docs \u2192<\/p>\n
Prefer manual control? You can still register chambers with WorldEdit (`\/tcp generate wand MyChamber`) or by coordinates \u2014 see Your First Chamber.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### Core Systems
\n– **Auto-Discovery** \u2014 natural chambers register themselves on chunk load + startup sweep. Docs \u2192
\n– **Automatic Resets** \u2014 chambers restore on schedule with configurable warnings, or set interval to `0` for manual-only.
\n– **Per-Player Vaults** \u2014 everyone gets their own loot with separate cooldowns.
\n– **Full Protection** \u2014 block break\/place, container access, mob griefing prevention. WorldGuard-aware.
\n– **Statistics & Leaderboards** \u2014 vaults opened, mobs killed, time spent. Docs \u2192
\n– **Admin GUI** \u2014 `\/tcp menu` does everything. No YAML editing required.<\/p>\n
### Advanced Loot
\n– **Multi-Pool Tables** \u2014 common \/ rare \/ unique pools like vanilla, fully configurable. Docs \u2192
\n– **Per-Chamber Overrides** \u2014 assign a different loot table to any specific chamber.
\n– **GUI Editing** *(new in 1.2.26)* \u2014 open `\/tcp menu` \u2192 Loot Tables, click a table, and edit it. Changes save to `loot.yml` instantly.
\n– **Custom Plugin Items** \u2014 drop Nexo, ItemsAdder, or Oraxen items directly from vaults:
\n “`yaml
\n – type: CUSTOM_ITEM
\n plugin: nexo # or itemsadder \/ oraxen \/ craftengine \/ mythiccrucible
\n item-id: mythic_sword
\n weight: 5
\n “`
\n– **Custom Model Data** \u2014 set `custom-model-data` on any vanilla item for resource-pack integration.
\n– **Command Rewards** \u2014 run any console command as loot (economy deposits, permission grants, XP).
\n– **Potion & Tipped Arrows** \u2014 full attribute support including Bad Omen III\u2013V ominous bottles.
\n– **LUCK Integration** \u2014 optional bonus rolls for players with the LUCK effect.<\/p>\n
### Multiplayer Enhancements
\n– **Spawner Wave Tracking** \u2014 boss bar shows wave progress as players fight. Hysteresis-based despawn means the bar disappears when you leave the area *(improved in 1.2.26)*.
\n– **Spectator Mode** \u2014 dead players can watch teammates complete the challenge, bounded to the chamber.
\n– **PlaceholderAPI** \u2014 20+ placeholders for scoreboards, holograms, tab lists.<\/p>\n
### Technical Excellence
\n– **Folia Native** \u2014 full support for regionized multithreading.
\n– **Paper \/ Purpur \/ Pufferfish** \u2014 works on all major Paper forks.
\n– **Async Architecture** \u2014 Kotlin coroutines, zero main-thread blocking.
\n– **Dual Database** \u2014 SQLite (default) or MySQL with connection pooling.
\n– **WorldEdit \/ FAWE** \u2014 optional, used only if you want selection-based chamber creation.<\/p>\n

## Fully Translatable<\/p>\n
Every user-facing string lives in `plugins\/TrialChamberPro\/messages.yml`. Want your server in French, Chinese, Spanish, or Klingon? Edit one file, `\/tcp reload`, done.<\/p>\n
Supports `&`-style color codes, `{placeholder}` substitution, and Adventure Components for boss bars.<\/p>\n

## Quick Start (manual mode)<\/p>\n
Prefer not to use auto-discovery? Classic workflow still works:<\/p>\n
“`
\n1. Drop the JAR in your plugins folder
\n2. Start your server
\n3. Select a Trial Chamber with WorldEdit (\/\/wand)
\n4. Run: \/tcp generate wand MyChamber
\n5. Run: \/tcp snapshot create MyChamber (enables auto-reset)
\n6. Done!
