Tartarus Punishments v0.2.6 - The "Shadow" Update

The ban hammer just got a lot smarter (and sneakier). This update introduces psychological warfare against cheaters and better tools for staff.

New Feature: Shadow Punishments

Why ban them when you can drive them crazy?

• Shadow Ban: The player can join, but...
  • Blocks reappear instantly (60% chance)
  • Items refuse to work (40% chance)
  • Random rubberbanding when moving (5% chance)
  • They think the server is lagging, but it's just them.
• Shadow Mute: They can type in chat, and it looks normal to them, but nobody else sees it.

Staff Tools

• Evidence System: /evidence add <player> <url> - Attach clips, screenshots, or logs directly to a player's latest punishment. Never lose proof again.
• Staff Notes: /note add <player> <text> - Leave persistent notes for other staff members. Great for tracking suspicions or warnings.
• Review: /checkpunishments <player> now shows attached evidence and staff notes!

Under the Hood

• JanusMCD Integration: Now fully synced with the Janus Panopticon for web/Discord viewing.

Bug Fix: Fixed permission issues for /checkpunishments. Permissions: Switched to JDA permissions for Discord commands.

v0.2.4

• Punishment Scaling System: Introduced 'Fractal' and 'Linear' scaling modes for dynamic punishment durations based on history. Linear is a simple count, if they get 3 (Configurable) of the same ban reason, its permenant. Fractal are steps, each one make the punishment more severe until all steps are exhausted.
• New Command /checkpunishments: Allows staff to view a player's punishment history and scaling status (In-Game & Discord).
• Discord Integration:
  • Implemented rich Discord Embeds for punishment checks (requires JanusMCD v0.2.0).
  • Enhanced autocomplete to search Online players, Active Bans, and Offline players.
• Forgive Enhancement: Added /forgive <player> clearlast to forgive and remove the last punishment from history (undo strike).
• System: Updated to JanusMCD v0.2.0 API.
