Modern Auction v1.5.0 — Reliability, Economy Safety & QoL Update

This release directly addresses the #1 most reported issues and exploit risks in Minecraft auction houses:

Critical Fixes & Performance Improvements

- Instant Buy-It-Now (BIN) Delivery & Instant Payout: Fixed a critical bug where Buy-It-Now purchases were delayed by up to 5 minutes and mistakenly routed to Expired Items. BIN purchases now instantly transfer items directly to the buyer's inventory and credit money to the seller immediately. - Direct Auction Win Claiming: Winning an auction now deposits the item directly into the winner's inventory (or /ah bin if inventory is full), completely eliminating the issue where won items appeared in "Expired Items". - Offline Sales Digest: Replaced chat message spam with an aggregated sales summary when a player logs back into the server.

Advanced Exploit Protection & Item Blacklisting

- Keyword & Name Blacklist (`blacklisted-names`): Automatically blocks listings containing banned words, symbols, or custom illegal names. - Lore Blacklist (`blacklisted-lore`): Blocks listing items containing specific lore lines or exploit tags. - Damaged Items Blocker (`block-damaged-items`): Prevents scamming where nearly broken armor/tools are sold at mint prices. - Shulker Box Blocker (`block-shulker-boxes`): Optional toggle to block shulker boxes from being listed on the auction house to prevent NBT payload abuse.

New Features & Quality of Life

- Custom Quantity Selling: Players can now sell a specific portion of their stack directly without having to split it manually in their inventory: - /ah sell <price> [amount] - /ah bin <price> [amount] - Admin Mass Clear Command: Added /ah admin cancelall <player> (and /ah admin clear <player>) with tab completion to let admins clear all active listings of a player in one go. - Java 17 - 25 & 1.20 - 1.21.4 Compatibility: Compiled with release 17 target, tested live on Paper 26.3 with Temurin Java 25.

What's New in v1.3.0

Complete Rebranding & Multi-Server Support

Rebranded: The plugin is now officially ModernAuction*. The old "aiols" branding has been entirely removed from commands, permissions, and files. MySQL & Redis Support:* Built for scale! You can now connect multiple servers together using MySQL and Redis for instant cross-server auction synchronization. (SQLite remains the default for single servers).

Advanced Administration Tools

Admin Control Panel:* Run /ah admin to open a dedicated GUI showing all active listings across the server. Click to instantly force-remove any item. Transaction Ledger:* Track the economy! Use /ah admin logs <player> to view a player's recent auction history directly in chat.

Economy & Taxation

Rank-Based Taxes:* Reward your VIP players with lower listing fees! You can now configure multiple tax tiers in auction.yml (e.g., give players with modernauction.tax.vip a 2% fee instead of 5%). BIN Price Caps:* Added safety limits to prevent Buy-It-Now prices from exceeding the server's configured maximum economy limits.

100% Item Safety (Collection Bin)

No More Dropped Items: Items reclaimed from expired auctions or cancelled listings will never* drop on the ground again if a player's inventory is full. The Collection Bin:* Unclaimed or overflowing items are securely routed to the new Collection Bin (/ah bin), where players can safely claim them anytime.

Discord Webhook Integration

Rich Embed Notifications:* Connect your auction house directly to your Discord server! Sends beautifully formatted embeds for: * New Listings * Sold Items * Buy-It-Now Purchases Price Thresholds:* Configure a minimum price limit (e.g., only announce items over $100,000) to prevent spam in your Discord channels.

PlaceholderAPI Support

Use these new placeholders in your scoreboards, holograms, or menus: * %ah_active_listings% - Total active listings on the server * %ah_player_listings% - Your current active listings * %ah_player_sold_count% - Total items you've sold * %ah_player_total_earned% - Total money earned * %ah_player_total_spent% - Total money spent * %ah_top_seller_1_name% - #1 top seller * %ah_top_spender_1_name% - #1 top spender * %ah_server_total_volume% - Server-wide economy volume

Bug Fixes & Stability
