BetterPunish v1.4.1 - Paper 26 compatibility

BetterPunish 1.4.1 updates the plugin for the new Minecraft calendar-versioned Paper releases while retaining the Paper 1.21.11 baseline.

Compatibility

• Stable support: Paper 1.21.11, 26.1, and 26.2
• Preview verification: Paper 26.3 build 15 (alpha)
• Java 21 on Paper 1.21.11
• Java 25 on Paper 26.1 and newer
• One Java 21-bytecode JAR across the supported range
• Paper only; Spigot is not supported

Compatibility fixes

• Updated the compile API to stable Paper 26.2 build 124
• Replaced deprecated legacy chat, sign, book, sound, broadcast, color, display-name, and anvil APIs
• Updated Adventure-component handling for Paper 26.2's Adventure 5 baseline
• Moved asynchronous player and server access back onto the main server thread where required
• Kept plugin.yml at API baseline 1.21.11 to preserve the older supported server

Reliability and GUI fixes

• BetterPunish now starts correctly when optional LuckPerms is not installed
• Inventory drag actions touching a BetterPunish GUI are cancelled
• Click, hotbar, shift-click, double-click, and offhand interaction paths remain cancelled by the GUI click guard
• Report and suspect middle-click actions now open the actual punishment history GUI instead of invoking an unregistered command
• Invalid punishment-dashboard page arguments now return a clear error

No configuration or storage migration is required.
