## Unreleased — Freeze instead of kick ### ⚠️ Read before updating Unlinked players are **no longer kicked** on join. On Paper they now stay on the server, frozen, until they link. `kick-message` is gone from the Paper `config.yml` — it is replaced by the `freeze-*` keys (a leftover `kick-message` is ignored). Velocity keeps kicking unless you set a `limbo-server` (see below). ### New - **Freeze instead of kick (Paper).** Unlinked players join, can look around but can't move, build, break, fight, pick up, chat or run commands (`/dg` still works) and take no damage. They are released the moment the link goes through — via Discord, the API or `/dg admin link` — and get the usual welcome message. - **Tells you what to do.** Chat message, title and a repeating action bar with the link code. The chat message is repeated every `freeze-reminder-seconds` (30). - **One-click link.** The chat message carries `https://<bot>/discordgate/<code>` (click opens the browser, no typing). The code is clickable too and copies `/mc link <code>`. `link-url` overrides the address; with neither `link-url` nor `bot-api-url` the link line is dropped. - **Vanilla whitelist no longer hides the prompt.** With `white-list=true`, unlinked players used to be turned away before they could be told how to link; they are now let in and frozen (bans and full-server still apply). - **Unlinking freezes instead of kicking** — `/dg unlink`, `/dg admin unlink` and `/mc unlink` put an online player straight back into the freeze with a fresh code. - **Velocity: `limbo-server`.** A proxy can't hold a player in place, so unlinked players are parked on a limbo server of your choice (e.g. NanoLimbo) and get the same prompt there; once linked they are sent to `limbo-return-server` (default: first try-order server). Without `limbo-server` the proxy kicks as before — now with the clickable-link text — rather than let unlinked players onto a real server. ### Fixed - Velocity: the default `kick-message` / `locked-message` used a doubled backslash and printed a literal `\n` instead of a line break. - `/dg` for an unlinked player shows the same prompt (with link) as the freeze. ## v1.5.1 — Link-Code Fix ### Fixed - **Link code no longer changes on every join attempt.** Each connection attempt minted a new code and invalidated the previous one, so the code on the kick screen a player was about to type could already be dead — reported as "the code is not the actual code" / "invalid or expired right after I got it". Re-issuing now returns the *same* code with a refreshed expiry until it runs out (`token-ttl-minutes`). - `{code}` and `{token}` are now both accepted in `kick-message` on both platforms. Paper only replaced `{code}`, Velocity only `{token}`, so a config copied across platforms put the literal placeholder on the kick screen. - A failed `GET /dg/token/{code}` is logged (`Token lookup miss: <code> (N pending)`), so a support case can tell a wrong code apart from a bot that never reached the server. ## v1.5.0 — Status Board & Latest MC ### ⚠️ Read before updating The HTTP API now **refuses to start** while `secret` is still `CHANGE-ME` or empty. Anyone who knew the default could whitelist themselves through `/dg/whitelist`. Set a real secret first — otherwise the plugin loads but the API stays offline. ### New - **Runs on the latest Minecraft.** Built against the Paper 26.2 API, still supported down to **1.20.6**. - **`GET /dg/stats`** — one call for a status snapshot: online state, platform + MC version, uptime, players, TPS/MSPT, and the per-backend split on Velocity. - **ViaVersion aware.** Reports which client versions can actually connect. Detected at runtime — ViaVersion/ViaBackwards/ViaRewind stay optional. - **Live status board in Discord.** BaxiBot keeps a self-updating embed in a channel you pick. Pick it under **MC Link** in the dashboard. - **`/mc whois`** — look up who owns a Minecraft name, or which account a member has, skin head included. Open to everyone, unlike `/mc admin lookup`. - **`events-relay-source`** — join/quit relaying no longer piggybacks on `chat-relay-source`. Leave it unset to keep current behaviour. ### Fixed - Update notice in-game checked an unregistered permission (`discordgate.admin`), so only OPs ever saw it — now `dg.admin`. - API server leaked two threads on every `/reload`. ### Internal Paper and Velocity now share one code base for link storage, HTTP handling and bot calls instead of two near-identical copies. No behaviour change — data files and every endpoint are untouched.

No behaviour change — data files and every endpoint are untouched.

## v1.5.1 — Link-Code Fix ### Fixed - **Link code no longer changes on every join attempt.** Each connection attempt minted a new code and invalidated the previous one, so the code on the kick screen a player was about to type could already be dead — reported as "the code is not the actual code" / "invalid or expired right after I got it". Re-issuing now returns the *same* code with a refreshed expiry until it runs out (`token-ttl-minutes`). - `{code}` and `{token}` are now both accepted in `kick-message` on both platforms. Paper only replaced `{code}`, Velocity only `{token}`, so a config copied across platforms put the literal placeholder on the kick screen. - A failed `GET /dg/token/{code}` is logged (`Token lookup miss: <code> (N pending)`), so a support case can tell a wrong code apart from a bot that never reached the server. ## v1.5.0 — Status Board & Latest MC ### ⚠️ Read before updating The HTTP API now **refuses to start** while `secret` is still `CHANGE-ME` or empty. Anyone who knew the default could whitelist themselves through `/dg/whitelist`. Set a real secret first — otherwise the plugin loads but the API stays offline. ### New - **Runs on the latest Minecraft.** Built against the Paper 26.2 API, still supported down to **1.20.6**. - **`GET /dg/stats`** — one call for a status snapshot: online state, platform + MC version, uptime, players, TPS/MSPT, and the per-backend split on Velocity. - **ViaVersion aware.** Reports which client versions can actually connect. Detected at runtime — ViaVersion/ViaBackwards/ViaRewind stay optional. - **Live status board in Discord.** BaxiBot keeps a self-updating embed in a channel you pick. Pick it under **MC Link** in the dashboard. - **`/mc whois`** — look up who owns a Minecraft name, or which account a member has, skin head included. Open to everyone, unlike `/mc admin lookup`. - **`events-relay-source`** — join/quit relaying no longer piggybacks on `chat-relay-source`. Leave it unset to keep current behaviour. ### Fixed - Update notice in-game checked an unregistered permission (`discordgate.admin`), so only OPs ever saw it — now `dg.admin`. - API server leaked two threads on every `/reload`. ### Internal Paper and Velocity now share one code base for link storage, HTTP handling and bot calls instead of two near-identical copies.
