================= ZyrenAuth v1.0.3 =================

Secure Player Authentication • Modern Minecraft Login Plugin

---

What's New in v1.0.3:

• Reverse Word Captcha System

  • Every player must solve a reverse-word captcha on join
  • No more math or sequence captcha types—security and anti-bot protection made simpler and stronger
  • Configurable captcha timeout and attempts, with safe void spawn during the captcha phase (0.5, 0.0, 0.5)

• Streamlined Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

  • /za 2fa setup opens a user-friendly in-game GUI showing your secret + QR URI for easy setup in authenticator apps

• Accurate Player State Restoration

  • The server always saves your full gamemode, inventory, health, hunger, experience, and location before auth/captcha
  • Upon successful login, you spawn back exactly where you left off
  • Newly registered players are always sent to the main world spawn, no matter where the auth area is

• Creative/Spectator Support

  • Registration/login no longer forces players to Survival; your default world gamemode is always respected
  • Health and hunger bars are only shown when in Survival or Adventure

• Resolved Persistent Title/Hologram

  • After registration or login, the "Registered/Logged In" title always clears immediately

• Asynchronous Modrinth Update Checker

  • At startup, ZyrenAuth checks for new Modrinth releases and notifies you in the console if you're out of date

• Cleaned-Up /za delete Command

  • Account deletion is now admin-only and uses a proper confirmation flow (no repeated prompts or permission leaks)

• General Stability and Bug Fixes

  • Eliminated duplicate unfreezePlayer calls
  • Fixed inventory, health, gamemode, and title restoration issues across all flows
  • Reliable compile with all current Spigot/PaperMC versions

ZyrenAuth 1.0.1 - Intelligent Authentication & Streamlined UX for 1.21.1+

This release significantly enhances ZyrenAuth's player authentication experience, focusing on smarter auto-login, improved data management, and a return to a concise, text-based command interface.

New Features & Improvements:

• Intelligent Auto-Authentication Flow:
  • For Premium Servers (online-mode=true):
    • Registered Premium Players: Now automatically logged in on join.
    • Unregistered Premium Players: Are automatically registered and logged in on first join. No manual /register is required for them to play.
  • For Cracked/Offline Servers (online-mode=false):
    • Registered Players: Still benefit from automatic login (if autoLoginPremiumPlayers is true).
    • Unregistered Players: Must still register manually for security reasons.
• Automatic Username Migration (Premium Servers): For registered players on online-mode=true servers, their Minecraft username (IGN) is automatically updated in ZyrenAuth's records if it changes (e.g., case changes, new IGN).
• Case-Insensitive Username Validation: Prevents players from registering usernames that are only different by case, improving uniqueness and preventing confusion.
• GUI System Removed: The /za command has been reverted to a text-based output, providing a direct and efficient command-line experience for administrators.
• autoLoginPremiumPlayers Config Option: A new boolean option (default true) controls the intelligent auto-registration/login behavior, allowing server owners to fine-tune the experience.
• Enhanced Console Logging: More detailed and informative logs for authentication actions and server status.

This update streamlines the player onboarding process for legitimate Minecraft accounts and simplifies the admin experience, all while maintaining robust security.
