MuteBefehl's Essentials (MuteEssentials)

Bugfixes

/rtp

• Failed searches no longer hammer the server. Retries now run via runTaskLater with a configurable delay instead of immediate recursion.
• findSafeLocation operates on the chunk that was already loaded async. No more sync chunk loads during search.
• RTP.MaxTries default lowered from 20 to 8 (matches the new, more honest retry logic).
• New config key RTP.RetryDelayTicks (default 5).

Teleports & Homes

• /home and /tpa countdowns are now properly cancelled when a player quits. Previously the scheduler task kept running and produced "player not online" spam in the log.
• Cooldown maps are cleaned up on quit (no more memory leak after many reconnects).
• Home-load errors now go through the plugin logger instead of printStackTrace(). Cleaner log files.

MOTD / Join message

• If neither ServerListMOTD.Enabled nor the legacy ServerMOTD.Enabled is set, the MOTD code path is fully skipped. Previously the server could push an empty MOTD line.
• Empty JoinMessage.Lines are no longer sent to players.

Localization

• HackDetection kicks and staff alerts now come from messages.yml. Previously the strings were hardcoded and ignored the player's language.
• getClientName() returns a localized "Unknown" instead of a hardcoded "Unbekannt".
• Maintenance kick, ban kick, outdated-client kick, server-full kick and whitelist kick all use the affected player's locale instead of the server default.
• Setup banner for the first OP join, StarterKit welcome and every home message now route through the per-player locale path.
• BAN console logs are normalized to English (previously a mix of German and English).

AutoUpdater

• Logger strings normalized to English.
• New reminder: while an update is pending, the plugin writes a warning to the log every Update.PendingReminderMinutes (default 60). Stops a found update from being forgotten.

New

Versioned config upgrader

• config.yml, messages-*.yml, and data.yml now carry a ConfigVersion. On startup the ConfigUpgrader migrates older files automatically.
• First migration: the old hardcoded default names for StarterKit items (German "Starter-Schwert" etc.) are removed so the new localized nameKey names take effect.
• A backup of each config is written before any migration runs.

StarterKit

• Items now support nameKey for localized display names. Static name is still accepted as a fallback.
• The default kit no longer carries hardcoded German names.

Anonymous telemetry

• Optional heartbeat (default on, Telemetry.Enabled): once per hour the plugin sends anonymous usage data (version, player count, uptime). No player data, no IPs, no content. Can be opted out at any time via config.
• Optional error reporting (default off, ErrorReporting.Enabled): when enabled, MuteEssentials stack traces are anonymized (UUIDs, IPs, hostnames stripped) and sent to the maintainer. Rate-limited to one report per error class per hour.

Upgrade notes

Drop in the new jar and restart the server. The ConfigUpgrader pulls existing configs forward automatically and writes backups as config.yml.bak-<timestamp> before touching anything. No manual edits required.
