ShamboQ 2.0 Release Notes

🚀 Queue System Evolved

We're excited to announce ShamboQ 2.0, a major update to our queue management system for Minecraft servers. This release represents a complete overhaul of the plugin's architecture with a primary focus on resilience and resource optimization.

✨ Key Improvements

• Connection Rejection Handling: Players no longer get lost in limbo when the destination server rejects connections
• Automatic Retry System: Configurable retry mechanism with fallback to queue when connection fails
• Player-Friendly Messaging: Clear communication to players during connection issues

🛡️ New Connection Handling

The standout feature of ShamboQ 2.0 is our enhanced connection management system, which:

• Detects server unavailability and connection timeouts
• Automatically retries connections with configurable attempts and delays
• Keeps players informed with action bar messages during the connection process
• Returns players to the queue if connection repeatedly fails
• Accurately tracks connection metrics for server admins

# New connection configuration
connection:
  max-retries: 3       # Maximum retry attempts
  retry-delay: 5       # Seconds between retries

📊 New Metrics System

Administrators now have access to comprehensive metrics about queue performance:

• Connection attempts and failures
• Resource optimization statistics
• Player throughput measurements
• System performance indicators

🔧 Other Improvements

• Platform Detection: Automatically adapts to Bukkit, Spigot, or Paper servers
• Aggressive Resource Management: Improved chunk handling for minimal server impact
• Command System Overhaul: Better command organization with improved tab completion
• Enhanced Configuration: More options to fine-tune queue behavior
