JanusMCD – Discord ↔ Minecraft Chat Bridge & Passwordless Auth.

Changelog - JanusMCD v0.1.7

Dropped support for MC versions previous to 1.21.x

New Features 🕵️ Packet-Level Vanish System ProtocolLib Integration: Replaced legacy hiding with packet interception (PacketAdapter) to silence chest opening sounds/animations and block entity interaction packets. Persistent State: Vanish status is now stored in PersistentDataContainer (PDC_VANISH_KEY) to persist across server restarts. Deep Stealth: Includes action bar warnings, fake join/quit messages, and complete hitbox removal for vanished players. 🎙️ Proximity Voice Chat Dynamic Channel Management: Automatically creates temporary voice channels ("Voice Group X") and moves players based on in-game proximity. Smart Clustering: Uses a Breadth-First Search (BFS) clustering algorithm with squared-distance checks to group nearby players efficiently. Lobby Fallback: Players outside the proximity radius (default 20 blocks) are automatically moved to a configured Lobby channel. Death Muting: Automatically mutes players in Discord when they die in-game (mute-on-death). 🎨 Immersive Webhook Chat SkinsRestorer Support: Implemented reflective access to SkinsRestorerAPI (supporting both v14 and v15+) to correctly fetch custom skins for offline-mode servers. Smart Avatars: SkinUtil now distinguishes between v3 (Offline) and v4 (Online) UUIDs to resolve the most accurate skin URL. Hybrid Impersonation: Added multiple webhook modes: DISCORD: Impersonates the player's linked Discord profile. HYBRID_MINECRAFT: Uses Minecraft avatar + "Player | @DiscordName". HYBRID_DISCORD: Uses Discord avatar + "DiscordName | IGN: Player". Bug Fixes & Technical Changes 🔧 Stability & Core Fixed Startup Crash: Removed conflicting log4j-slf4j-impl dependency which caused a NoSuchMethodError with the server's internal logger. The bot now uses the server's native SLF4J implementation. Fixed Auth Loop: Refactored AuthManager to return a CompletableFuture<Boolean>, preventing premature kicks by ensuring the DM was successfully sent before blocking the player. Cleaned Logging: Removed custom System.out/err bindings to resolve "Nag author" warnings and prevent duplicate console output.
