🚀 Homes 2.1 Release

Homes 2.1 introduces full database storage support (MySQL and SQLite), end-to-end AES-256-GCM coordinate encryption to protect player privacy from administrators, powerful console management commands, and an automated update checker.

🌟 New Features & Enhancements

🗄️ MySQL & SQLite Database Support

• Added native storage support for SQLite (default, local file homes.db) and remote MySQL / MariaDB.
• Integrated, shaded, and relocated HikariCP connection pooling to ensure zero classpath conflicts.
• SQLite runs with WAL mode (Write-Ahead Logging) and an isolated single-connection pool to eliminate file locking issues.
• Automatic Migration: detects legacy homes.yml on first run, imports all homes directly into the database, encrypts them, and renames the file to homes.yml.migrated.

🔒 AES-256-GCM Encryption (Admin-Proof Privacy)

• All coordinates ($X, Y, Z$), worlds, and viewing angles ($Yaw, Pitch$) are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being written to the database.
• Server admins inspecting SQLite or MySQL via phpMyAdmin, DBeaver, or HeidiSQL cannot view player home coordinates (stored as encrypted ENC:v1:... strings).
• Unique per-player keys derived via HMAC-SHA256(MasterKey, PlayerUUID).
• Every record is encrypted with a unique, cryptographically random 12-byte IV.
• Automatically creates a secure 256-bit key in .encryption_key if none is configured.

💻 New Console Commands

• /home clear <player|all>:
  • Strictly console-only (in-game players, even OPs, cannot execute it).
  • Purges all homes of a specific player or all players across the entire server.
• /homes add <homes.yml|sqlite> to MySQL <user:password>:
  • Strictly console-only migration tool.
  • Exports all homes from a legacy homes.yml or local SQLite database directly into MySQL with real-time encryption and zero server lag.
• Added contextual tab-completion for console operators.
• Reserved the home names reload and clear to prevent command collisions.

🔄 Automated Version Checker

• Asynchronously checks for new updates via Modrinth API and GitHub Releases API on startup and /home reload.
• Prints You running on the Latest version (v2.1) to the console or displays an alert banner with direct download links if an update is found.
