VelocityNavigator

🎉 VelocityNavigator v2.0.0-Stable is here!

This is a major milestone release. We have completely refactored the codebase to meet enterprise standards, focusing on stability, speed, and user experience.

🆕 What's New?

• 🔄 Modrinth Native: The update checker now queries the Modrinth API directly.
• 🛡️ Crash-Proof Config: We added strict type-safety checks. A typo in your config file will no longer crash the plugin.
• ⚡ Smart Timeouts: Server pings now timeout after 2.5 seconds, preventing a single laggy server from freezing your command usage.
• 📢 Better Feedback: Players now receive specific error messages (e.g., "Server Full", "Whitelisted") instead of the command just doing nothing.
• 🐛 Bug Squashing: Fixed constructor initialization errors and improved debug logging.

📦 How to Update

1. Stop your proxy.
2. Delete your old VelocityNavigator.jar.
3. Upload the new v2.0.0-Stable JAR.
4. (Recommended) Backup and delete your old navigator.toml to let the new crash-proof version generate.
5. Start the proxy!

🚀 Highly Customizable Config:

The plugin now uses a more organized, nested navigator.toml file with a custom header.

⚙️ Automatic Config Updater:

The plugin will automatically detect and upgrade old configuration files to the new format, preserving user settings.

💬 Optional Command Aliases:

Server owners can now define which command aliases (like /hub or /spawn) they want to use in the config file.

✨ Reconnect to Spawn:

If a player uses a lobby command while already in a lobby, they are now re-connected to that lobby's spawn instead of just seeing a message.

For the next update, you can focus on the suggestions we just discussed:

• Permission Support.
• Fully Customizable Messages.
• Smart Server Selection.

Hey everyone, here's the first release of VelocityNavigator!

This is a simple plugin that lets you use / lobby, /hub, or /spawn to send players to your lobby server. You can even set up multiple lobbies in the config for it to choose from!
