BetterChairs allows you and your players to sit on chairs. It’s that simple!
\nEvery stair, slab or block can be a chair *if* you want it to!<\/p>\n
It is:
\n* **fast**, as it has been written with performance in mind
\n* **easily updated**, because you get notified about new versions, and your configurations get upgraded automatically
\n* **customizable**, as it generates configuration files for you
\n* **reliable**, as it supports all Minecraft versions newer than 1.8 natively
\n* **free** and OpenSource. Request Features or add them yourself!<\/p>\n
## Commands & Permissions ## Useful Links <\/p>\n * Original Project (No activity): ## BetterChairs API (+ Events) ## What are the differences to the original version? ## Why did you create *BetterChairs (Remastered)*? I have been granted write-access to that repository afterwards but could not contact My fork quickly made some big changes, and I decided to fully recode and redesign this project. Because of that I rewrote the commit history and detached my Fork on GitHub to be no longer displayed as one Today, I unofficially took over the project as soon as BlackScarx got inactive and am now maintaining this repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BetterChairs allows you and your players to sit on chairs.

\n* Active author fixing bugs, adding features and add version support
\n* Support all versions newer than 1.8 (and in theory some older versions too)
\n* **All** stairs and slabs are supported in all versions
\n * Have **every** block you like to act as a chair *(can be enabled in the config)*

\n* The content of `config.yml` and `messages.yml` has been restructured (old files are automatically converted)
\n* Have a world whitelist **or** blacklist
\n* Well documented API
\n* Fully rewritten code (Improves: Maintainability, Performance, Readability)
\n * Moved to Maven and configured GitHub Actions to automatically compile the project<\/p>\n
\nBetterChairs started in 2016 on SpigotMC and has been developed by
\nBlackScarx. Some years later,
\nI made my first commits to the project by adding custom Spigot-Events I wanted to use.<\/p>\n
\nBlackScarx and created this fork to fit my needs and provide support for new Minecraft version.<\/p>\n
\nI started with moving to Maven and deleting all those `spigot.jar`s from the repository.<\/p>\n
\n(always said *’27 commits behind BlackScarx:master’* because the commit hashes changed).<\/p>\n
