OreoEssentials

Performance

• Optimized the custom tab layout system.
• Fixed a major tab performance issue where player list names were being rebuilt repeatedly in the same update cycle.
• Tab header/footer and player names now use smarter caching and only update when needed.
• Optimized scoreboard refresh performance.
• Scoreboard rendering now shares cached animated/static line output across the refresh cycle instead of rebuilding the same content for every player.
• Reduced unnecessary scheduler load from repeated UI rendering tasks.
• Moved player-directory presence writes off the main thread.
• Batched web panel sync to reduce spike lag.
• Reduced unnecessary bossbar, actionbar, and nametag update work.
• Redesigned nametag visibility updates to avoid constant full scans.

Folia Fixes spam and errorsa

• Patch Notes

• /vanish now supports on, off, and toggle.
• Vanish now persists through logout.
• Vanish now syncs cross-server when cross-server support is enabled.
• Mobs now stop targeting vanished players.
• Vanish join/quit visibility was fixed so players do not reappear incorrectly.
• The misleading /vanish alias/config collision was cleaned up.
• Fixed spawn and respawn handling.
• First-join spawn now works properly.
• Death respawn routing was fixed.
• Spawn now uses clear local/global behavior instead of mixing server identifiers.
• /setspawn and respawn flows now behave consistently across shards.
• Fixed cross-server teleport flows.
• Cross-server /tp routing was stabilized.
• Cross-server /tpa routing was stabilized.
• Cross-server /home routing was stabilized.
• Cross-server retry paths no longer re-teleport players multiple times from the same request.
• Cross-server request state now clears correctly after success.
• Pending arrival handling for TPA was hardened so accepts do not overwrite each other.
• Fixed cross-server trade flows.
• Cross-server trade state now handles packet ordering correctly.
• Trade replay now actually replays the missing start packet.
• Trade cancel reasons now stay intact.
• Trade grant and close delivery paths were hardened.
• Fixed cross-server inventory and invsee flows.
• Remote inventory apply now writes offhand to the correct slot.
• Cross-server inventory sync now preserves XP/level data.
• Cross-server inventory state handling is now more reliable.
• Fixed chat sync and messaging routing.
• Cross-server chat payload parsing was corrected.
• /msg and /reply now use live current server presence instead of stale last-known server data.
• /tp and /move now avoid stale routing to players who are no longer on that server.
• Fixed and expanded MiniMessage compatibility.
• Broken typo tags like <dar_puruple> and now render correctly.
• The same typo-tolerant handling was extended across scoreboard, tab, holograms, bossbars, actionbar, chat bubbles, lang rendering, and other shared MiniMessage surfaces.
• Valid formatting behavior was preserved.
• Fixed /bubblecolor validation.
• Invalid MiniMessage color/style input can no longer be silently saved.
• Improved performance for larger shards.
• Player-directory presence writes are now off the main thread.
• Scoreboard rendering now uses cached render state instead of full rebuilds every refresh.
• Tab PlaceholderAPI reflection is cached instead of being resolved every update.
• Bossbar updates now skip unnecessary property resets.
• Web-panel periodic sync is batched to reduce spikes.
• Nametag position updates now skip unnecessary work when players have not meaningfully moved.
• Nametag visibility no longer does full owner/viewer sweeps every cycle.
• Added shard-aware UI safeguards.
• You can now disable heavy UI systems on specific high-population shards.
• Supported guarded modules include scoreboard, tab, bossbar, nametag, chat-bubbles, actionbar, and multi-bossbar.
• This lets the biggest shards run lighter while smaller shards keep the full UI stack.
• Cleaned up runtime logging.
• Several hot-path debug logs were reduced or gated.
• This makes production console output quieter and easier to scan.

Patch Notes

• Fixed /vanish so the real OreoEssentials command now supports /vanish on, /vanish off, and /vanish toggle.
• Fixed vanish mob behavior: mobs now stop targeting vanished players.
• Fixed misleading command metadata so /vanish usage matches the actual implementation.
• Renamed the confusing sample vanish alias so it no longer clashes conceptually with the real vanish command.
• Fixed vanish persistence: vanish no longer clears on logout.
• Added persistent vanish state storage.
• Added local YAML fallback storage for vanish state.
• Added Mongo-backed vanish storage for shared network state when cross-server storage is available.
• Added cross-server vanish sync when cross-server support is enabled.
• Added features.cross-server.vanish: true to settings.yml.
• Players now restore their saved vanish state automatically on join.
• Added configurable first-join spawn handling.
• New players can now be teleported to server/global spawn on their very first connection.
• First-join spawn uses the configured spawn service and falls back cleanly if no spawn is set.
• Added configurable death respawn override handling.
• Respawn mode can now be set to:
  • NORMAL
  • GLOBAL_SPAWN
  • WORLD_SPAWN
  • CUSTOM
• Added respect-bed-anchor support so valid bed / respawn-anchor spawns can still be preserved.
• Added support for custom respawn coordinates and per-world respawn overrides in settings.yml.
• Fixed MiniMessage typo handling in the scoreboard so broken tags like <dar_puruple> and work.
• Extended the same typo-tolerant handling across other MiniMessage-rendered surfaces.
• Added shared compatibility utility for typo normalization.

Affected Areas

• Vanish
• Cross-server sync
• First join spawn
• Death respawn routing
• Scoreboard
• Tab list
• Holograms
• Bossbar
• Shared MiniMessage / lang rendering

Compatibility

• Existing valid MiniMessage tags still behave the same.
• Existing & color codes still behave the same.
• Typo handling is additive: only a small known set of broken tags is normalized.
• The only visible behavior change there is if someone intentionally wanted typo tags to appear literally as raw text.

AFK — Reworked & Expanded

• AFK config moved to its own dedicated file: plugins/OreoEssentials/afk/config.yml — no longer buried in the main config. Auto-merges new defaults on update so
  you never miss new options
• Action bar now shows how long you've been AFK, updating every second (toggleable)
• "Back" message now tells you how long you were AFK when you return (e.g. You were AFK for 5m 32s) — also fixed a bug where the duration placeholder wasn't being parsed
• Permission tiers: configure different AFK timeout durations per permission group
• Custom messages per permission group — different now-afk, no-longer-afk, and back messages for different ranks
• Cross-server AFK tracking via RabbitMQ — AFK status now broadcasts across all servers in real time
• Global AFK map tracks player location, world, server, and AFK timestamp across the whole network

Web Panel — Fixed

• AFK enter/exit events now push to the panel instantly (via RabbitMQ if available, REST fallback otherwise)
• Added a heartbeat system: every 30 seconds the plugin sends the full list of online players to the backend — fixes stale "online" flags that got stuck after
  server crashes or failed disconnect syncs
• Panel now correctly reflects AFK state across all servers

Lang

• All 9 language files synced with missing keys (fallback to English where not yet translated)
