Version: 1.1.3 Release Type: Major Feature Update & Critical Bug Fix

Critical Fixes - bStats Metrics Collection

Fixed:

• bStats Data Collection - Fixed plugin disabling itself before bStats could send metrics

  • Previously: Plugin called disablePlugin(this) when API key missing
  • This caused: Plugin to shutdown before bStats sent data to server
  • Result: Missing installation data on bStats dashboard
  • Fix: Removed disablePlugin() call, plugin now stays enabled but inactive
  • Impact: All installations now tracked, regardless of configuration status

• bStats Server Detection - Folia now properly tracked on bStats

  • Uses plugin ID 24623 (shared with other platforms)
  • bStats built-in "Server Software" chart automatically detects "Folia"
  • No need for custom platform chart - bStats handles it natively
  • Impact: Folia shows up correctly as "Folia" in Server Software statistics

• bStats Custom Charts - Added Minecraft version tracking

  • Added "minecraft_version" chart showing MC version breakdown (1.8-1.21)
  • Better analytics for understanding version distribution
  • Helps identify which Minecraft versions are most popular

New Features - Account Per IP Limiting

This release introduces a comprehensive system to limit the number of Minecraft accounts that can connect from the same IP address simultaneously, with full Folia thread-safety.

New Features:

• Account Per IP Limit - Limit simultaneous connections from the same IP address
  • Configurable maximum accounts per IP (default: 3)
  • Two enforcement modes: BLOCK or KICK_OLDEST
  • BLOCK mode: Prevents new connections when limit reached
  • KICK_OLDEST mode: Automatically kicks oldest session to allow new connection
  • Whitelisted players automatically bypass limit
  • Disabled by default for backward compatibility
  • FOLIA-SAFE: Thread-safe session tracking with ConcurrentHashMap
  • FOLIA-SAFE: Synchronized methods for atomic operations
  • Local/private IPs bypass tracking (127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x, etc.)

Configuration:

# Account Per IP Limit
account-per-ip-limit:
