Changelog

All notable changes to NewbieGuard are documented in this file.

[1.0.1] - 2026-06-22

Fixed

• Fixed mobile (Bedrock/Geyser) players being disconnected immediately on join. The BossBar title used a per-character MiniMessage hex gradient that Geyser could not translate into a Bedrock-compatible packet, kicking mobile players. The title is now rendered with plain legacy colour codes (the bar still shifts green → yellow → red as time runs out).

Added

• New config option bossbar.show-delay-seconds (default: 3). Delays showing the BossBar after join so Bedrock clients finish connecting before receiving the packet. Set to 0 to show instantly.

Changed

• All messages and the BossBar time format are now in English (e.g. 59m 30s).

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-21

Added

• Initial release.
• New players receive PvP protection for a configurable duration (protection-duration-minutes, default 60).
• Protection persists across relogs and pauses while the player is offline (remaining time stored in the player's PersistentDataContainer).
• BossBar countdown that changes colour (green → yellow → red) as time runs out.
• Optional removal of protection when the protected player attacks someone first (remove-on-attack).
• Admin command /newbie check|grant|remove and permission newbie.bypass.
• Folia support.
