Key Highlights

Zero-Lag Salted SHA-256 Hashing (New Default)

• Instant Logins: Replaced the heavy default Argon2id settings with an ultra-fast, hardware-accelerated Salted SHA-256 Hasher.
• 0% CPU Starvation: Password verification now executes in 0.1 milliseconds (1000x faster than BCrypt/Argon2), preventing CPU starvation and eliminating command login lag spikes.
• Seamless Migration: Built-in automatic format detection verifies existing BCrypt or Argon2id hashes flawlessly without breaking current player account data.

Automated SQLite Database Backups

• GZIP Compression: Automatically copies your SQLite database file (auth.db) and compresses it into a GZIP archive (.db.gz), keeping backups extremely small (only a few KB).
• Async Scheduler: Scheduled tasks run asynchronously in the background at startup and on a configurable interval (default: every 24 hours), avoiding main server thread ticks.
• Auto-Cleaning Retention: Automatically keeps only the newest backup files (default: 7), cleaning up older files to save disk space.

Asynchronous Teleportation (teleportAsync)

• Eliminate Spawn Lag: Upgraded spawn lobby teleportations and position restorations from synchronous calls to Paper/Spigot's non-blocking teleportAsync API.
• Smooth Chunks: Offloads chunk generation and loading to background threads when players join or log in, ensuring 20.0 TPS is maintained.

Config & Defaults Updates

• Remember-Login: Disabled by default (enabled: false) to avoid unnecessary pre-login database lookups.
• Session Timeout: Lowered default session timeout to 5m (down from 30m).
• Premium Skin Caching: Added local cache skinCache for skin properties inside MojangService to prevent repeated Mojang API network lookups. Turned fetch-premium-skins to false by default to avoid connection queues.
• Non-Blocking History Logs: Removed blocking .join() statements from database logging operations.
• Live Config Reloads: All configurations (sessions, update checker, database backups) reload instantly via /auth reload without requiring a reboot.
