MeowEco 26.9.0 Changelog

Release date: 2026-06-29

🚀 Highlights

MeowEco 26.9.0 targets Paper 26.1.x / 26.2 servers running Java 25. This release moves the primary build target to Paper 26.2 while keeping the Paper 26.1.x compatibility compile gate, so server owners can adopt the newer Paper line with a clearer safety net.

This is also a stability-focused economy release: money precision, database regression coverage, SQLite behavior, public documentation, and release metadata were all tightened for multi-currency servers, shop menus, leaderboards, rich-tax setups, and integrated server workflows.

✨ Added

• 🛡️ Added primary Paper 26.2 API support with paper-api:26.2.build.40-alpha.
• 🧪 Added broader economy regression coverage for transfers, exchange, frozen funds, rich tax, and amount precision policy.
• 🗄️ Added SQLite regression coverage for account creation, transfers, exchange rollback, frozen funds, and leaderboard exclusions.
• 🔍 Added read-only precision reporting for legacy balances, helping server owners find over-precise stored amounts without modifying player money.

🔄 Changed

• ☕ Bumped the plugin version to 26.9.0.
• 🧱 Updated the supported runtime range to Paper 26.1.x / 26.2 with Java 25.
• 📦 Kept the Paper 26.1.x compatibility compile check while compiling primarily against Paper 26.2.
• 🔌 Adjusted Maven resolution so Paper 26.2's Adventure 5.x dependencies resolve from Maven Central.
• 📚 Improved README and Wiki copy so server owners can quickly understand where MeowEco fits and why it is useful.

🛠️ Fixes And Improvements

• 💰 Unified amount precision handling across commands, API calls, and Vault boundaries.
• 🧾 Rounded tax, exchange, and scheduled economy results before storage for cleaner database values.
• 🧹 Removed stale non-Paper project messaging and kept the project direction focused on the Paper plugin.
• ⚙️ Cleaned up generated-file and local-runtime ignores to keep the repository easier to maintain.

🌟 Best For

• 🪙 Servers running coins, points, gems, tokens, or other multi-currency economies.
• 🏪 Shop, VIP, reward, and exchange menus built around Vault, PlaceholderAPI, and TrMenu.
• 📊 Servers that care about leaderboards, formatted balances, and total-economy displays.
• 🧊 RPG and survival servers that need frozen funds, rich tax, and economy-control tools.
• 🛡️ Server owners preparing for Paper 26.2 while keeping Paper 26.1.x compatibility checks in place.

⚠️ Upgrade Notes

• Your server must run on Java 25.
• This release targets Paper 26.1.x / 26.2. If your server is still on Paper / Minecraft 1.21.11 or older, do not assume this version is compatible.
• Back up your database and configuration files before upgrading, especially on production economy servers.
• If you use MySQL, validate connection settings, charset, and permissions on a test server first.
