Better Homes includes a clean inventory interface designed for regular server use:<\/p>\n

\n– Page selector menu
\n– Home edit menu
\n– Delete confirmation menu
\n– Buttons for teleport, move, rename, public toggle and delete
\n– Configurable icons and item lore
\n– Configurable rows, titles, sounds and filler items

## Teleport Safety<\/p>\n

The teleport system is designed to prevent common home-related issues:<\/p>\n

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

## Storage<\/p>\n

Better Homes uses YAML storage by default. Player homes are saved automatically and loaded on startup.<\/p>\n

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

## Configuration<\/p>\n

The plugin generates:<\/p>\n

– `config.yml`
\n– `messages.yml`
\n– `homes.yml`<\/p>\n

You can configure:<\/p>\n

– Home limits
\n– Teleport delay
\n– Teleport cooldown
\n– Safe teleport behavior
\n– GUI layout
\n– GUI icons
\n– Sounds
\n– Effects
\n– Messages
\n– Allowed or blocked worlds
\n– Shared\/public home behavior
\n– Command behavior<\/p>\n

## Compatibility<\/p>\n

Better Homes is compiled against the Bukkit 1.8.8 API and avoids direct usage of modern-only API calls.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n

1. Download `BetterHomes.jar`.
\n2. Put it in your server’s `plugins` folder.
\n3. Restart your server.
\n4. Edit `plugins\/BetterHomes\/config.yml` and `messages.yml`.
\n5. Run `\/betterhomes reload` or restart the server again.<\/p>\n

## Why Better Homes?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It is lightweight, dependency-free and designed to stay stable on active servers.<\/p>\n
