CoreChatX 2026.1.8

Added

• Added optional Discord-Minecraft account linking for Discord inbound chat, with Minecraft /discord link, /discord unlink, /discord linked, admin link override, Discord /link code:<code>, Discord /unlink, persistent discordlinks.yml, and same-proxy-group sync.
• Added linked Discord inbound identity rendering: linked Discord users can be shown with their Minecraft real name, CoreChatX nickname, and Minecraft rank data instead of Discord-only identity.
• Added optional linked-user enforcement for Discord inbound, including blocked unlinked messages, optional Discord message deletion, optional DM feedback, Minecraft mute checks, and CoreChatX channel send-permission checks.
• Added optional Discord link-to-play enforcement. When discord.inbound.account-linking.require-linked-to-play is true, unlinked Minecraft players are kicked after joining with a temporary Discord /link code:<code> in the kick reason.

Changed

• Player mention suggestions now include custom nicknames as well as real Minecraft usernames, including players online on other backends in the same Velocity network-channel group.
• Mention tokens now display the custom nickname when a tagged player has one, while still resolving the player identity safely.
• /realname <nickname> tab completion now includes custom nicknames from the whole current proxy group, not only the current backend.

Fixed

• Fixed settings updates such as PM toggles, GUI toggles, and locale changes so they preserve the saved custom nickname instead of clearing it.
• Fixed Discord link sync ordering so stale remote LINK, UNLINK, or pending-code packets cannot overwrite newer account-link state between backends in the same proxy group.

Configuration

discord.yml now supports:

discord:
  inbound:
    account-linking:
      enabled: false
      require-linked: false
      require-linked-to-play: false
    route-overrides: {}

channels.yml Discord sections now support per-channel inbound account-link overrides:

discord:
  require-linked-inbound: "inherit"

messages.yml now supports the kick message shown to unlinked players:

discord:
  link-required-kick: "<red>You must link your Discord account to play.</red>\n<gray>Use Discord command </gray><white>/link code:{code}</white><gray> within </gray><white>{minutes}</white><gray> minute(s).</gray>"

Compatibility

• CoreChatX plugin-message protocol is now 13. Paper and Velocity must both run 2026.1.8; mixed proxy/backend versions are not supported.

Safety

• Link-to-play joins do not publish normal join, first-join, state-sync, or quit messages for players that are immediately kicked for missing Discord linking.
