Changelog

1.1.4-26.1-SNAPSHOT (snapshot-26.1-gui-fallback-01) — 2026-04-02

Added

• Snapshot channel for Paper 26.1 validation: introduced the first 26.1 snapshot build named snapshot-26.1-gui-fallback-01.
• Snapshot warning docs/badges: README now includes explicit WARNING snapshot and implementation/risk badges for this build stream.
• Configurable minimum racers to start: added racing.min-players-to-start as a global race-start threshold, with per-track override support via tracks/<name>.yml under racing.min-players-to-start.
• Localized minimum-player warning: added race.not-enough-players to bundled language files to report required/current participant counts when start is blocked.

Changed

• Project versioning for pre-release: project version moved to 1.1.4-26.1-SNAPSHOT in pom.xml.
• Stable tag status: stable 1.1.4 publication is postponed due to the Paper 26.1 GUI/Anvil compatibility issue; the planned 1.1.4 feature set is delivered in this snapshot channel.

Fixed

• Paper 26.1 Anvil close-event compatibility: added a custom AnvilGUI version-matcher path plus Wrapper26_R1_Fixed fallback implementation that probes compatible handleInventoryCloseEvent signatures and applies a safe close-container fallback when upstream signature assumptions fail.
• Race start gating consistency: start, force, admin race GUI start, and registration timeout auto-start now consistently enforce the configured minimum-player threshold before race launch.

Docs

• Minimum-player start docs: README/CHECKLIST now document racing.min-players-to-start, per-track override behavior, and validation expectations for blocked starts.

Known Issues

• GUI risk on evolving 26.1 builds: because this snapshot relies on reflective compatibility over unstable internals, some GUI/Anvil flows can still fail on certain Paper 26.1 dev builds or non-Paper forks.
