PluginGuard-1.3.0

[1.3.0] - 2026-07-07

• New: built-in update checking. PluginGuard now checks Modrinth (with GitHub
  Releases as a fallback) for new versions and announces them to admins.
  /pluginguard update gives check, download (fetches the verified jar,
  confirms its checksum, and stages it in the server's update folder to install
  on the next restart), restore (roll back to the previous jar),
  ignore <version>, unignore <version>, and status. Controlled by the new
  update section in config.yml (mode: off / check-only / notify /
  download / auto-stage; default notify — nothing is ever downloaded
  without opting in). Minecraft 26.x servers automatically follow the -mc26
  build line. Degrades to plain-text notices on Spigot where Adventure is absent.

PluginGuard-1.1.0

[1.1.0] - 2026-06-01

• Probe logging and pattern detection. PluginGuard now records when players try
  to enumerate the plugin list and can alert online admins when a player crosses
  a configurable weighted-score threshold within a sliding window.
  • Weighted categories: high (3) for bukkit:/minecraft: prefixes and
    /icanhasbukkit; medium (2) for /pl, /plugins, /ver, /version,
    /about; low (1) for common-plugin enumeration (/lp, /we, /co, ...).
  • /help and /? are deliberately never tracked.
  • Optional append-only plugins/PluginGuard/probes.log audit trail.
  • In-game alerts gated by new pluginguard.alerts permission (default: op).
  • All I/O dispatched via Paper/Folia's async and global-region schedulers, so
    the event hot path stays cheap and Folia-safe.
  • Per-player state lives in a ConcurrentHashMap and is cleared on quit.
• Honeypot commands. Admins can list fake commands in honeypot-commands: that
  no legitimate user would ever type — a single honeypot hit weighs 5, so by
  default it triggers an alert immediately.
• /pluginguard status now reports detection state, honeypot count, and file-log state.

PluginGuard-1.0.0

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-01

• Target Paper API 1.21.4; supports Minecraft 1.21.x (Java 21+) and 26.x.x (Java 25+).
• Folia support declared via folia-supported: true.
• Graceful degradation on Spigot/Bukkit: the Paper-only PaperServerListPingEvent
  listener is now registered conditionally via class-presence check, so the plugin
  loads on non-Paper servers (server-brand spoofing simply becomes a no-op).
• All player-facing messages now use the Adventure Component API instead of the
  deprecated legacy color-code strings.
• /version spoof now reflects the running server's Minecraft version dynamically
  instead of a hard-coded 1.21.1.
• Build: Kotlin 2.1.20, Shadow 8.3.6, jar version is now wired through plugin.yml
  via ${version}.
• Thread-safe, lock-free reload: all config-derived state is held in an immutable
  Settings snapshot behind a @Volatile reference, so /pluginguard reload swaps
  the whole snapshot atomically and concurrent event handlers on different Folia
  region threads always observe a consistent set of values without taking any lock.
• Hot-path allocation reduced: PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent no longer
  lowercases the entire message or splits on spaces — only the base command token
  is sliced out and lowercased. Saves work on every command a player types,
  proportional to message length.
• README rewritten as proper UTF-8 (was UTF-16 with BOM).
