waitingscreenmod

Major Features:

Whitelist integration: the mod now reads whitelist.json and automatically adjusts requiredPlayers to the number of whitelisted players

Fully configurable UI: waiting text, color, size and positions of all elements can now be edited via commands

Separate counter colors: the "current" and "required" numbers in the player counter (4/10) now have independent configurable colors

Missing names display: when players are missing to start, the mod shows a list of missing names (configurable how many to show)

Commands Added:

/waitingscreen whitelistmode <true|false> — Enable/disable whitelist mode

/waitingscreen missingnames showatmost <n> — Limit of how many missing players there must be to show names

/waitingscreen missingnames max <n> — Maximum names to display on screen

/waitingscreen ui text <value> — Change the main text

/waitingscreen ui color <hex> — Change the main text color

/waitingscreen ui scale <float> — Change the main text size

/waitingscreen ui pos waitingtext <x> <y> — Position of the main text

/waitingscreen ui pos playercount <x> <y> — Position of the player counter

/waitingscreen ui pos missing <x> <y> — Position of the "missing..." text

/waitingscreen ui pos esc <x> <y> — Position of the ESC hint

/waitingscreen playercountcolor <current_hex> <required_hex> — Separate colors for the counter

Improvements & Fixes:

Thread safety: added volatile to shared fields and ConcurrentHashMap for collections accessed by multiple threads

Improved null checks: reinforced server/player null validations before sending packets

Language/Idiom fixes: improvements to strings and texts in commands

No Telemetry: removed MC telemetry dependency (removing TelemetryInfoScreen from allowed screens)

Death screen validation fix: fixed a case where the validation packet was sent when the player was on the death screen

Render color fix: fixed a bug where text color wasn't applied correctly (detected that parseColor with short inputs like 0x0000 gave alpha 0 → invisible)

Technical Changes:

Added UiConfigPayload to synchronize all visual config (text, color, scale, positions)

Added MissingNamesPayload to send the list of missing names to the client

Added getters in Waitingscreen.java and WaitingscreenClient.java for all UI fields

Refactored updatePlayerCount() to calculate whitelist differences and broadcast missing names only when they change
