Dan's Essentials

Dan's Essentials 2.6.0 For a server running v2.5.0, this is a drop-in upgrade that adds support for Minecraft 26.3. It also changes what usage reporting sends. Each usage event now includes a random server ID, so the author can count servers instead of raw events. The first time the plugin starts with reporting on, it adds this ID as a server-id: line in plugins/trace/config.yml. The ID is a random UUID. It does not identify any person, account or IP address, and nothing about players is sent. If reporting is turned off by usage-reporting.enabled: false, by enabled: false in plugins/trace/config.yml, or by TRACE_USAGE_REPORTING=off or DO_NOT_TRACK=1, no ID is created, read, written or sent. Changes Compatibility · Adds support for Minecraft 26.3 (#180). Usage reporting · Usage events now include a random per-server ID. It is stored once as server-id: in plugins/trace/config.yml and shared by every plugin on the server that reports to trace. Your existing text in that file is kept as it is; one commented server-id: line is added at the end. To get a new ID, delete that line. If the file cannot be written, the ID is kept in memory for that run only (#179). · The startup message and the comments in config.yml now mention the server ID (#179). · The usage-reporting details link in the config comments and startup message now points to https://danielstephenson.dev/usage-reporting (#181).

Dan's Essentials 2.5.0 For a server running v2.4.0, this release makes mutes survive restarts. It also fixes several command and warp-sign problems and adds the plugin version to every usage-reporting event. Config keys, permissions and stored data from v2.4.0 all work unchanged. The only new file is the muted-player list, which the plugin creates and manages itself. Changes Muting · Muted players now stay muted across server restarts. The list is saved to muted-players.txt in the plugin's data folder when the server shuts down and is loaded again at startup. /de unmute removes a player from the saved list. If the file can't be read at startup, a warning is logged and the file is left untouched, so the mutes stored in it are not overwritten. (#172) Commands · /de label no longer throws an error when your main hand is empty. It now says you must be holding an item, and it gives a clear message for items that can't be renamed. (#168) · /de gm with an unknown mode now shows the usage message instead of silently doing nothing. The usage messages for /de gm and /de flyspeed now include the /de prefix. (#168) · /de help now shows the double quotes that /de broadcast and /de label need, and says that mutes last until the player is unmuted. (#168, #172) Warp signs · The message shown when placing a warp sign without permission now names the real permission, de.placeWarpSign. (#167) · Clicking a warp sign with invalid coordinates now tells the player the coordinates are not valid and logs a warning with the sign's location. Before, the error was written to the console and the player saw nothing. (#167) Usage reporting · Every usage-reporting event now carries the plugin version. Before, only the startup event did. (#171) · plugins/trace/config.yml now accepts an optional tags: block, which is added to every event reported by plugins on the server. For example, ci: "true" on a test server keeps its events out of real-installation figures. The file is only created when it is missing, so an existing file won't show the commented example. Add the block by hand if you want it. Disabling usage reporting works exactly as before. (#170, #171) Upgrade notes · Players who are muted when you stop the server to install this version will be unmuted after the upgrade, because v2.4.0 does not save mutes. Mute them again with /de mute once the new version is running. From then on, mutes are kept across restarts.

Dan's Essentials 2.4.0 Servers on 2.3.0 can drop in this release without any migration. The headline change is opt-out usage reporting: on startup and on each /de command the plugin sends its name, version and the command name to the author's trace server, off the main thread, and logs on every startup whether reporting is on and why. A usage-reporting block is added to plugins/DansEssentials/config.yml (existing settings are kept) and a server-wide switch file plugins/trace/config.yml is created if it does not exist. The rest of the release is bug fixes to /de back, /de mute, /de unmute and /de fly. Changes Usage reporting · Report a startup event and one event per /de command to the trace server, sent from a bounded daemon thread that never blocks a tick and drops silently if the server is unreachable (#152) · Add usage-reporting.enabled, usage-reporting.endpoint and usage-reporting.key to config.yml, and write the block into an existing config.yml that predates it so the switch is on disk (#152, #155) · Honour the server-wide opt-out in plugins/trace/config.yml and the TRACE_USAGE_REPORTING=off / DO_NOT_TRACK=1 environment variables, and print the reporting status and how to turn it off on every startup (#155) Commands · /de back no longer throws IllegalArgumentException when there is no stored location; it now tells the player there is nothing to return to. A player's join location is recorded as their initial back location and cleared on quit, and /de back is listed in /de help (#136) · /de mute and /de unmute key the mute on the resolved player's real name rather than the typed text, so muting by a partial name now actually silences the player and unmuting finds them again (#148) · /de fly <player> names the correct de.fly.others permission in its error message and reports "That player isn't online." instead of crashing when the target is offline (#147) Upgrade notes · Usage reporting is on by default. To turn it off for this plugin, set usage-reporting.enabled: false in plugins/DansEssentials/config.yml. To turn it off for every trace-reporting plugin on the server, set enabled: false in plugins/trace/config.yml (created on first start). The environment variables TRACE_USAGE_REPORTING=off or DO_NOT_TRACK=1 also disable it and take precedence over both files. · If you run a hardened or read-only plugins/ directory, note that the plugin will attempt to create plugins/trace/config.yml; a failure to do so is logged at FINE and reporting stays on.
