CloverDiscordLink v2.0.0

Changelog

All notable changes to CloverDiscordLink are documented here.

2.0.0 — 2026-09-09

Added

• Native target for Minecraft, Paper, and Cardboard 26.2 on Java 25.
• Secure expiring account-link codes generated with SecureRandom.
• One-to-one Minecraft UUID ↔ Discord account enforcement.
• Invalid-code rate limiting for Discord direct messages.
• HikariCP-backed MySQL connection pooling.
• Environment variable support for Discord and MySQL secrets.
• Automatic migration of legacy config.yml and links.yml from plugins/DiscordChatBridge.
• Configuration validation with safe reload behavior.
• JUnit tests and Java 25 GitHub Actions builds.

Changed

• Renamed the plugin and project to CloverDiscordLink.
• Moved Java sources to com.slyph.cloverdiscordlink.
• Migrated the build to Gradle Kotlin DSL and Gradle 9.7.0.
• Updated JDA to 6.5.0, HikariCP to 7.1.0, and MySQL Connector/J to 26.7.0.
• Replaced legacy color processing with centralized Adventure and MiniMessage formatting.
• Reworked Discord startup, HTTP update checks, database operations, and local file writes to avoid blocking the server main thread.
• Replaced the single persistent JDBC connection with a managed connection pool.
• Made local links.yml writes atomic to reduce corruption risk during interrupted saves.
• Preserved the existing dcb_links MySQL table for upgrade compatibility.
• Preserved /dchat reload and the existing link data format where possible.
• Uses AsyncPlayerChatEvent deliberately as a compatibility fallback because Cardboard 26.2 currently emits that Bukkit event rather than Paper AsyncChatEvent.

Security

• User-controlled Discord and Minecraft text is handled without MiniMessage tag injection.
• Account-link codes now expire and cannot be reused after successful consumption.
• Discord role checks fail closed when role verification is unavailable.
• SQL writes use prepared statements and pooled connections.
• Secrets no longer need to be stored directly in config.yml.

Upgrade notes

• Java 25 is required.
• api-version is now 26.2.
• Existing local links and the dcb_links MySQL table are retained.
• Discord bot token and MySQL connection changes still require a full server restart.

Verification

• Production sources compile against Paper API 26.2 build 110 stable on Java 25.
• ./gradlew clean build and the included JUnit test suite must pass in GitHub Actions before release publication.
• Cardboard 26.2 event compatibility was checked against its ver/26.2 source implementation. A live Cardboard server smoke test is not part of the automated CI suite.
