v1.4.0

[1.4.0] - 2026-09-27

Tested builds: Paper 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3.

Added

• Minecraft 26.3 support. A third download, -mc263.jar, for 26.3. -mc26.jar now covers 26.1 and 26.2.
• Plugin channels are hidden. The list of channels players' games get on join named your plugins. See hide-plugin-channels.
• The query port no longer lists your plugins. Its software name shows your fake brand too.
• Discord warnings. Paste a webhook into discord-webhook.
• Automatic actions. alert-commands runs console commands, like a kick, when someone probes.
• messages.yml. Every message PluginGuard sends can now be changed.
• probes.log stays small. Past log-max-size-mb it moves to probes.old.log.
• A full guide in docs/.

Fixed

• Hidden commands now get the exact "Unknown command" reply of a made-up command. The old text gave PluginGuard away on Paper.
• "permission-denied" mode uses your server's real no-permission message.
• TAB after a hidden command no longer lists plugin names (for example /version ).
• Spigot works again. The first blocked command or warning used to throw an error.
• An update installed without a restart no longer leaves the old copy running.
• Aggressive mode no longer hides /pluginguard from staff.
• A mistyped hide-mode no longer makes /pl answer nothing. It warns and uses unknown-command.
