BirdMessenger now owns letter editing, sealing and opening alongside delivery. Preserve book content and the stable tfmccore:sealed_letter item identifier. Default mail acceptance includes the configured letter variants; explicit lists remain authoritative. /birdmessenger reload reloads the letter configuration.

The feature reads only BirdMessenger/letters-config.yml. Operators copy the server configuration manually before startup; there are no automatic imports, version checks or Core API aliases. Technical instructions are in Docs. Unsigned book edits use event metadata; delayed signing and opening writes verify the original item remains present, including the normal first-read metadata transition. Off-hand book edits/signing map Paper's event slot -1 to inventory slot 40.

Validation: Maven verify passed 24 tests (baseline five), covering configuration, item metadata, mail acceptance, listener lifecycle, malformed-config recovery and changed-item guards; runtime JAR checks passed. Intended release for the feature: BirdMessenger 1.1.0.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The plugin now loads letter-specific settings and item paths. It handles letter editing, signing, and opening, and supports reloading the letter configuration.

Changes

Sealed Letter Feature

Layer / File(s) Summary
Letter configuration and plugin integration
src/main/java/.../BirdConfig.java, BirdMessenger.java, command/BirdMessengerCommand.java, letters/LetterConfig.java, LetterConfigLoader.java, LetterFeature.java, src/main/resources/{config.yml,letters-config.yml,plugin.yml}, src/test/java/.../MailRegressionTest.java, letters/LetterConfigLoaderTest.java, LetterFeatureTest.java
The plugin loads letter paths, settings, and messages from letters-config.yml. Startup and reload manage the letter feature and listener; shutdown closes the listener. The default letter-path list includes configured paths when the legacy setting uses its default.
Letter item creation and event handling
src/main/java/.../letters/LetterItems.java, LetterListener.java, TextUtil.java, src/test/java/.../letters/LetterItemsTest.java, README.md
Book edits restore unsigned letters. Signing replaces a letter with a sealed item, and right-clicking a sealed item replaces it with an opened item. Item creation copies configured book content and applies the author and title settings.
Letter event replacement checks
src/main/java/.../letters/LetterListener.java, src/test/java/.../letters/LetterListenerTest.java
Unsigned edits update event metadata without a scheduled inventory write. Deferred signing and opening replacements proceed only when the player and recorded item still match the captured state, with the documented allowance for vanilla’s first-read resolved change.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 32524

Off-hand letters cannot be edited through the letter handler, and signing one can produce a vanilla written book instead of a sealed letter. Fix off-hand handling before merging.

Guard both delayed writes against the expected slot contents.

The edit path must compare the slot with the plain writable book that vanilla creates from edited. Comparing it with previous would reject normal edits because previous is the pre-edit letter. The sign path must compare with the captured pre-sign stack, not only items.isLetter, because another letter could occupy the slot.

🐛 Suggested fix
             BookMeta edited = event.getNewBookMeta();
             ItemStack previous = handItem.clone();
+            ItemStack expected = new ItemStack(Material.WRITABLE_BOOK);
+            expected.setItemMeta(edited.clone());

🟠 Major · Handle the off-hand slot before returning. · LetterListener.java:37-38

src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/birdmessenger/letters/LetterListener.java:37-38
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the off-hand slot before returning.

When a player edits or signs an off-hand letter, Paper reports event.getSlot() as -1. This guard returns before the edit branch or signing cancellation runs. An off-hand signing therefore proceeds as a vanilla written book instead of a sealed letter. Handle -1 through getItemInOffHand() and the corresponding replacement path. Update the new tests to use -1 for off-hand events; slot 40 does not exercise this case. (jd.papermc.io)
