ZDiscord

Fixed

- The startup banner now derives its module total from all 16 current modules, including Live Stats, Confession, and the Onlysleep/RedstoneReboot integration bridge.

Changed

- Completed a maintainability pass across configuration, storage, Discord bridge, module, and utility code while preserving public API documentation and runtime behavior. - Added regression coverage for startup module accounting.

Added

- Real profile pictures. If SkinsRestorer is installed, /profile cards and leaderboard thumbnails use the player's actual skin instead of the default Steve/Alex head. Set profile.skin-restorer to false to disable. - Discord replies are now quoted in Minecraft chat. Replying to a bridged message shows a short "Replying to X: ..." line above it, so it's clear what the message is answering. See chat.show-replies, chat.reply-format, chat.reply-preview-length. - More console logging: account links/unlinks, ticket open/close, and a shutdown summary with storage flush confirmation. - SkinsRestorer listed as a soft dependency in plugin.yml. - /zdiscord diagnostics — a read-only health check in-game: storage backend and unflushed writes, Discord ping, active webhooks, SkinsRestorer/Geyser detection with Bedrock player count, and module states. - Live stats panel — one combined embed that refreshes itself in a channel: players online (with names), TPS, memory, top kills, most playtime, and most followed. Enable it with live-stats.channel in config.yml; refresh rate via live-stats.update-interval. - Self-refreshing `/leaderboard` replies — command responses now re-edit themselves with fresh data every leaderboard.auto-refresh-seconds (default 60s, 0 disables) and follow you when you page or switch stats. They stop after 30 minutes or if the message is deleted. - logging.debug: false in config.yml — one switch for troubleshooting. Turns every log category to DEBUG, unsuppresses JDA/Hikari connection logs, and applies live via /zdiscord reload (previously logging changes needed a restart). /zdiscord diagnostics shows whether it's on. - Geyser/Floodgate awareness for avatars. Bedrock players get name-based mc-heads heads when SkinsRestorer has no skin for them instead of a guaranteed-broken UUID URL. chat.avatar-url now also accepts "auto" (the new default) which picks the best source per player; custom %uuid%/%name% formats still work everywhere. - The "Most Followed Players" leaderboard panel now reads follower counts from storage, so players who haven't joined since the last restart no longer disappear from it. - Ticket channels store their owner in the channel topic, so closing a ticket always frees the right person's ticket slot. - Optional Onlysleep and RedstoneReboot bridges forward sleep/night and restart messages through ZDiscord's existing bot connection. Each can use a dedicated channel or fall back to channels.events. - The public API can queue plain messages and EmbedData objects to configured Discord channels.

Changed

- config-version bumped to 11 so existing configs pick up all avatar, logging, live-stats, reply, and integration keys. Untouched chat.avatar-url defaults are migrated to "auto" automatically. - JDA updated from 5.2.1 to 6.5.0 for current Discord API behavior and 2026 permission changes; SLF4J updated/aligned to 2.0.18 and relocated inside the plugin JAR. - MySQL connections encrypt by default (use-ssl: true) but no longer demand a CA-signed certificate; set storage.mysql.ssl-verify-certificate: true if yours has one. The official Connector/J driver is now bundled and relocated, so MySQL 8+ storage works on a clean server without another plugin supplying a driver. - Stat-update events (ZDiscordStatUpdateEvent) fire before the value lands and cancelling one no longer rolls back increments that raced with it. - /zdiscord embed reports "bot not connected" instead of throwing when startup failed.

Fixed

- Emoji shortcodes (:green_circle: etc.) showed as raw text in every embed - Discord only renders shortcodes in plain messages, not embed titles/fields/footers. All ~80 usages across panels, cards, tickets, and status embeds now use real Unicode emoji, which render everywhere. (config-version 10) - YAML storage could silently drop writes: a save landing between the flusher's file snapshot and its dirty-flag reset was lost until restart. Dirty flags now live under the same lock as the save itself. - Pending MySQL writes queued during shutdown ran anyway instead of being cancelled with the scheduler teardown. - /ticket from Discord no longer blocks JDA's gateway thread during channel creation (chat relay froze while tickets were being made). - /players and the status embed no longer risk a ConcurrentModificationException when someone joins or leaves mid-refresh; the status panel just skips the player list that tick. - Two simultaneous first messages in a channel can't create duplicate "ZChat" webhooks anymore (orphans count against Discord's 10-webhook channel cap). - Unlinking no longer clears the reverse lookup when legacy data maps several players to one Discord ID - the other linked player keeps working. - Startup gives up on a stuck Discord connection after 15 seconds instead of hanging the server enable phase forever. - Transcript button on a fresh empty ticket replies with a friendly message instead of an exception. - Numbers formatted into URLs and embeds (TPS, memory, K/D, avatar URLs) now use locale-independent formatting, so servers running under digit-substituting locales don't produce broken image links. - Skin cache is bounded (~2048 entries) so very large servers don't accumulate entries forever; confession/follow cooldown maps evict expired entries too. - SkinsRestorer's overloaded texture helper is resolved by its SkinProperty parameter, avoiding a runtime mismatch with the String overload. - Release automation publishes only the shaded runtime JAR and now runs from immutable v* tags instead of every push to main. - Discord console commands keep a hard denylist even when a custom allowlist is configured; shutdown, permission escalation, arbitrary command execution, and plugin reload commands cannot be enabled remotely. - Minecraft chat cannot trigger Discord @everyone, @here, or role/user mentions, and console/webhook buffers now have hard memory bounds under message floods. - Ticket numbering no longer resets to #1 after a restart (the counter was written as a string and read back as 0). - ZDiscord no longer crashes at startup if the server console can't display unicode; the startup banner and console messages are ASCII-safe. - status.embed.color is honored again; it was silently ignored during the rewrite. - TPS reading falls back to a flat 20.0 on old Spigot builds instead of breaking the embed.

[1.2.0] - 2026-06-16

Added

- Developer API (ZDiscordAPI, ZDiscordProvider, Bukkit events) for third-party plugins. - Interactive leaderboards with medals, head thumbnails, pagination, and stat-switcher dropdown. - Auto-updating leaderboard panel in a configurable channel. - Centralized logger (ZLogger) with 9 categories, 6 levels, compact format. - /profile [player] — player card with avatar, NameMC link, stats, and follow button. - /seen <player] — last-seen lookup with online status, playtime, sessions. - /following and /unfollow <player> — manage follow subscriptions from Discord. - /confess <message> — anonymous confessions with cooldown and configurable color. - Achievement rarity badges ("First of the day", rare advancement threshold). - Player activity storage (last_seen, first_join, sessions, advancement unlocks, follows). - ColorUtil.toDiscordMarkdown() for &l, &o, &n, &m conversion. - FollowModule — in-memory cache with non-blocking DM dispatch. - PlayerProfileBuilder for profile card embeds with Discord username resolution. - In-game /confess <message> command for anonymous confessions.

Changed

- config-version bumped to 6. Default avatar changed to mc-heads.net. - HeadUtil rewritten for mc-heads.net with avatar(), body(), combo(). - Storage backends gained 12 new methods for activity, advancements, and follows. - AdvancementListener persists unlocks, reads rarity stats async, guards against duplicates. - UpdateChecker interval 6h → 5h. Silent Discord notice fires once per release. - JoinQuitListener writes last_seen and increments sessions on every join/quit. - First-join detection uses storage instead of player.hasPlayedBefore().

Fixed

- SetupCommand "Loading options failed" bug and NPE on removed ticket categories. - JoinQuitListener null-safe bot connection checks. - /seen avatar resolution and "never joined" message. - FollowModule.onPlayerJoin no longer blocks scheduler thread. - MySQLStorage.isFollowing uses SELECT COUNT(*) instead of fetching all followers. - Profile card shows actual Discord username instead of raw ID. - Confession handles use monotonic counter instead of hash % 10000. - Confession embeds use a real love-letter emoji instead of a Discord shortcode. - Stat update events match the calling thread, fixing Paper quit-event crashes. - JDA SLF4J provider packaging fixed so startup does not use the fallback logger. - Ticket setup now uses the guided /setup wizard only and posts a ticket-specific setup flow. - Ticket creation ignores placeholder support-role IDs instead of aborting channel creation. - Setup and follow buttons use real emoji instead of Discord shortcode text. - Ticket panel dropdown values now submit category IDs instead of display labels. - /panel no longer crashes in thread or forum channels. - UpdateChecker Discord announcement retries on failure.
