🆕 What's New in v1.2.3

• Added support for Minecraft 26.1.2 while keeping compatibility with 26.1 and 26.1.1
• Better support for MCDReforged servers:
  • Added a new mcdr-compatibility config section
  • When enabled, MeowConsole tries to preserve the vanilla-style console output that external tools expect
  • This makes it friendlier to setups that rely on console-log parsing
• Better compatibility with backup tools such as PrimeBackup:
  • Important save-completion messages such as Saved the game are now preserved more carefully
  • Common player join/leave log patterns are also less likely to be broken
  • This reduces the chance of “better console UI, but broken backup workflow”
• Better command input experience:
  • Command highlighting now follows Brigadier parsing more closely
  • Tab completion for vanilla commands keeps more of the original tooltip/help text
  • Second-level completions for MeowConsole local commands now include clearer descriptions

✨ What You Will Notice

• If you use MCDReforged:
  • MeowConsole is less likely to conflict with tools that parse server console output
  • Backup-related and log-driven workflows should behave more reliably
• If you type commands directly into the server console:
  • It is easier to see the difference between command literals and arguments
  • Completion suggestions are easier to understand at a glance

🧪 Important Notes (For MCDR Users)

If your server uses MCDReforged, PrimeBackup, or similar console-parsing tools:

• It is recommended to explicitly enable:
  • mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true
• The current version includes auto-detection logic, but explicitly enabling the compatibility mode is more reliable
• If your server also uses settings such as pause-when-empty-seconds, that vanilla pause behavior can still affect unattended backup workflows

🔄 Upgrade Notes

When upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3, please keep the following in mind:

• If you use MCDReforged, check whether config/meowconsole-features.yml now contains the new mcdr-compatibility section
• For the most reliable behavior with tools like PrimeBackup, it is recommended to set:
  • mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true
• If you do not use MCDReforged, in most cases this remains a direct replacement upgrade
