Major Update

PureAuth 6.0.0 is a major technical release focused on performance, stability, and better preparation of the plugin for larger servers and networks. All existing features have been preserved.

Key Changes

• The plugin is now more clearly marked as intended for Paper/Purpur.

Performance and Optimization

• Added limited task queues for:

  • database operations,
  • password hashing,
  • network operations.

• Reduced the risk of server overload during a large number of simultaneous logins.

• Reduced the number of database queries during login.

• Added a user data snapshot system to fetch account data with one main read instead of multiple separate queries.

• Moved additional database operations off the server’s main thread.

• Optimized session handling, 2FA, and login data processing.

• Added caching for selected 2FA data and the player’s last location.

• PlaceholderAPI no longer performs a direct database query when checking 2FA status.

Database

• Added a configurable database connection pool.
• Added indexes for the ip and username fields.
• Improved SQLite initialization.
• Added the missing SQLite driver to the final .jar files.
• Added explicit SQLite driver configuration.
• The plugin can now create the data folder before SQLite initialization if it does not already exist.
• Preserved compatibility with the existing data structure.

Server Networks

• Added a new network configuration section.
• Added LOCAL mode as the default operating mode.
• Added prepared configuration for the future REDIS mode.
• Improved plugin messaging channel synchronization in the Velocity module.
• Improved database pool settings forwarding in the BungeeCord and Velocity modules.

Note: Redis mode is currently prepared at the configuration level for future multi-proxy development. The default and currently active operating mode is LOCAL.

2FA

• Improved handling of /2fa remove.

• Removing 2FA no longer relies only on cache.

• 2FA removal verification has been moved off the main thread.

• Improved cache updates after 2FA status changes.
