MeowEco Changelog

1. Core Architecture Refactor

• Unified Command System
  Completely removed scattered top-level commands (such as /money, /pay, /baltop, etc.).
  All features are now centralized under the main command /meco (or /meoweco).

• Enhanced Multi-Currency System
  Fully supports unlimited custom currencies (e.g., Coins, Tokens, Gems).
  Each currency now supports:

  • Independent decimal precision
  • Transfer tax rate
  • Initial balance configuration

• Database Architecture Upgrade
  Introduced a composite primary key (uuid, currency) mechanism.
  The plugin will automatically detect and upgrade legacy database structures, ensuring that the same player can have separate accounts for different currencies without conflicts.

---

2. PlaceholderAPI System Deep Optimization

• Dynamic Currency Support
  All PAPI placeholders now support specifying a currency ID via suffix
  (e.g., %meoweco_balance_gems%).

• Multiple Output Modes

  • Standard Mode
    %meoweco_balance_<ID>%
    (Formatted number with thousands separator)

  • Short Format
    %meoweco_balance_short_<ID>%
    (Auto-converts to formats like 1.2K, 3.4M, etc.)

  • Full Format
    %meoweco_balance_formatted_<ID>%
    (Includes number and currency name)

  • Fixed Numeric
    %meoweco_balance_fixed_<ID>%
    (Raw number without thousands separator; suitable for scoreboards or calculations)

3. Administration & Maintenance Improvements

• Asynchronous Update Checker
  Integrated with the Modrinth API for asynchronous update checking.
  When a new version is detected, a notification with a download link will automatically be sent to the console and players with the meoweco.admin permission.

• Leaderboard Accuracy Improvements

  • Automatically excludes the system account tax from leaderboards and total server wealth statistics.
  • Fixed /meco hide logic to ensure hidden players are immediately and completely removed from rankings.

• Instant Refresh Mechanism
  Optimized the /meco refresh logic.
  Executing this command will immediately clear:

  • PAPI cache
  • Leaderboard cache
  • In-memory data
    Forcing the next query to fetch the latest data directly from the database.

---

4. Compatibility & Code Quality

• Color Code Fix
  Fully supports & color parsing, resolving previous issues where raw color codes appeared in messages and placeholders.

• Performance Optimization

  • Removed all unused imports and variables
  • Replaced deprecated Java 20+ API usage (such as outdated URL constructors)

---

⚠️ Important Update Warnings

Before updating to v26.6.2, please carefully read the following:

1. Database Backup (Highly Recommended)

Since the plugin will automatically perform SQLite/MySQL table structure reconstruction to support composite primary keys, and although built-in migration logic is included,
it is strongly recommended that you back up your meoweco.db file or MySQL database before updating, just in case.

---

2. Command Changes Notice

Because legacy commands such as /money and /pay have been unregistered in plugin.yml,
although the plugin includes silent redirection logic, if you have other plugins (such as scripts, menus, or NPCs) directly calling these old command names,
it is recommended to update them to the new /meco <subcommand> format as soon as possible for better compatibility.

---

3. Configuration Synchronization

The new version introduces an update-checker configuration section in config.yml.

If you are using an older configuration file, it is recommended to:

• Delete it and regenerate a fresh one, or
• Manually synchronize it with the latest configuration structure described in WIKI_CN.md.

---

4. Placeholder Changes

If you previously used formatted placeholders in scoreboards, please verify their output behavior.

It is recommended to switch to the new:

• _short (compact format), or
• _formatted (full format)

placeholders for the best visual presentation.
