All notable changes to the Xshards plugin are documented in this file.

[1.2.9] - 2026-04-16

Fixed

• Shop: items could be received without paying / lost shards on purchase. The shop listener now uses getRawSlot() and only reacts to clicks inside the shop's top inventory, so clicks in the player's own inventory no longer trigger purchase flows. Shards are now deducted before the item is delivered, the player's balance is re-verified at confirm time, and any items that don't fit in a full inventory are dropped at the player's feet so they never lose what they paid for. The pending-purchase state is also cleared when the confirm GUI is closed without a choice. Fixes the "I can take items from the shard shop without paying" report.

• Database path mismatch (XShards vs Xshards). The default SQLite path in config.yml was plugins/XShards/storage/xshards.db (capital S) while the plugin's data folder is Xshards. The default has been corrected to plugins/Xshards/storage/xshards.db.

  Upgrade note: if you were running 1.2.8 or earlier, you'll have existing data in plugins/XShards/storage/xshards.db. Either move that file to plugins/Xshards/storage/xshards.db, or set storage.sqlite.file: plugins/XShards/storage/xshards.db in your config.yml to keep the old path.

• SQLite errors: "stmt pointer is closed" / "database has been closed" / "Database connection lost. Reconnecting..." spam. The previous DatabaseManager returned a single shared JDBC connection that callers would then close via try-with-resources, which closed the shared connection out from under any other thread mid-query (e.g. the AFK task and PlaceholderAPI/DecentHolograms refreshes hitting the leaderboard and AFK status). DatabaseManager.getConnection() now returns a fresh connection per call, so each query is fully isolated. SQLite connections also enable WAL journal mode and a 5s busy timeout for better concurrent read/write behaviour.

• /shards remove <player> <amount> now works from the console. Previously the console branch only accepted give. Console, command blocks, and RCON can now use remove as well, enabling custom commands and admin scripts to debit a player's balance without the give <player> -N workaround.

Changed

• Startup banner now reads the version from plugin.yml instead of a hard-coded string (was stuck at v1.2.4).
• ShardCommand now rejects non-positive amounts up front with the existing "invalid amount" message, so admins can't accidentally invert a give/remove with a negative number.
