Better Homes is compiled against the Bukkit 1.8.8 API and avoids direct usage of modern-only API calls.
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.
BetterHomes.jar.plugins folder.plugins/BetterHomes/config.yml and messages.yml./betterhomes reload or restart the server again.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.
It is lightweight, dependency-free and designed to stay stable on active servers.
