Major Changes

• Updated for Minecraft 26.2 and modern BungeeCord.
• Updated Java/API compatibility and plugin metadata.
• Modernized message handling and color support.
• Preserved optional PremiumVanish support.

Messaging

• Custom join, leave, server-switch, and first-join messages.
• Improved placeholders and player-count handling.
• Fixed legacy join/leave and server-switch bugs.
• Added better null, connection, and cleanup handling.

Default messages:

SwapServerMessage: '&e%player%&r &8-> &7%to%'
JoinNetworkMessage: '&a>>&8 %displayname%'
LeaveNetworkMessage: '&c<<&8 %displayname%'

First-Time Joins

• Added true first-ever join detection by UUID.
• Enabled by default on fresh servers.
• Added %firstjoin_number%.
• Added permanent UUID history.
• Added /fm fakefirstjoin testing.

Example:

Message: '&6&l★ &e%displayname% &7is player &f#%firstjoin_number% &7to join the network!'

Existing Player Import

• Import existing UUIDs from:

  • world/playerdata
  • usercache.json
  • Custom file paths
  • UUID data files

• Added Old UUID ID folder for hosts that block cross-server file access.

• Added automatic import instructions and reports.

• Imported players are treated as returning players.

Multi-Proxy Support

• Added optional Redis synchronization.

• Syncs:

  • Join messages
  • Leave messages
  • Server-switch messages
  • First-time joins

• Added duplicate-message protection.

• Added automatic Redis reconnects.

• Local messaging continues if Redis goes offline.

Automatic Data Migration

• Added DataRevision tracking for UUID history.
• Old UUID data automatically migrates to newer formats.
• Previous data is backed up before migration.
• Player history is preserved between updates.

Automatic Config Migration

• Added ConfigRevision at the top of config.yml.
• Existing settings are preserved during plugin updates.
• New configuration options are automatically added.
• Config backups are created before migration.

Config Redesign

• Includes real examples for:

  • Messages
  • Placeholders
  • Colors
  • Servers
  • Redis
  • First joins
  • UUID importing
  • Permissions and commands

• config-example.yml automatically updates with every plugin revision.
