PluginGuard

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-01

• Target Paper API 1.21.4; supports Minecraft 1.21.x (Java 21+) and 26.x.x (Java 25+).
• Folia support declared via folia-supported: true.
• Graceful degradation on Spigot/Bukkit: the Paper-only PaperServerListPingEvent listener is now registered conditionally via class-presence check, so the plugin loads on non-Paper servers (server-brand spoofing simply becomes a no-op).
• All player-facing messages now use the Adventure Component API instead of the deprecated legacy color-code strings.
• /version spoof now reflects the running server's Minecraft version dynamically instead of a hard-coded 1.21.1.
• Build: Kotlin 2.1.20, Shadow 8.3.6, jar version is now wired through plugin.yml via ${version}.
• Thread-safe, lock-free reload: all config-derived state is held in an immutable Settings snapshot behind a @Volatile reference, so /pluginguard reload swaps the whole snapshot atomically and concurrent event handlers on different Folia region threads always observe a consistent set of values without taking any lock.
• Hot-path allocation reduced: PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent no longer lowercases the entire message or splits on spaces — only the base command token is sliced out and lowercased. Saves work on every command a player types, proportional to message length.
• README rewritten as proper UTF-8 (was UTF-16 with BOM).
