SIR

Hey everyone,

Here comes version 1.5, a more “behind-the-scenes” update that focuses on build tooling, integration cleanup, and keeping SIR fully compatible with the latest Minecraft versions. No shiny new commands this time—but a lot of important work under the hood to keep everything stable and future-proof.

SIR still ships with Takion embedded inside it, so you don’t need a separate Takion plugin on your server. We’re still fully Java-based, this update just modernizes how things are built and wired together.

◉ Changes:

• Migrated the embedded Takion project from a Maven build to Gradle Kotlin DSL, making development and maintenance cleaner and more consistent
• Vault integration is now handled through the internal VaultAdapter bridge, improving how SIR talks to Vault-backed chat/permission providers
• General internal refactors and micro-optimizations to keep the codebase lean and easier to extend

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Added full compatibility for Minecraft 1.21.9 – 1.21.10, fixing issues on the latest server versions
• Minor stability adjustments around dependency handling and startup logic

For configuration tips, migration notes, and advanced usage, don’t forget to check the SIR Wiki. Work on SIR+ (the premium edition) and the Fabric server-side port is still ongoing—more news on those soon 👀

And finally… thank you for over 21,000 downloads! Your continued support and feedback keep this project alive and evolving. 🚀

Hello everyone,

I’m thrilled to deliver version 1.4, a massive update that streamlines dependencies, adds powerful integrations, and polishes virtually every corner of SIR. This release represents our biggest internal refactor to date—please read carefully and back up your old config files before upgrading!

🔧 Takion is now fully bundled inside SIR (upgraded from 1.2 → 1.3) You can safely delete any external Takion plugin or takion/ folder from your server—no separate installation required.

⭐ Features:

• Built-in Takion 1.3 – removes external dependency and ensures compatibility out of the box
• FoliaMC & forks support via our GlobalScheduler integration
• New /chatcolor command for managing chat colors, formats, gradients, and rainbow effects

◉ Changes:

• Renamed all internal package paths for clearer organization and future maintenance
• Vastly improved file structure—recommend backing up your old configs and generating fresh ones
• General internal optimizations and code cleanup across dozens of classes

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed animated boss bars that previously failed to display
• Corrected default-bukkit-plugin-methods option so it now properly reads true/false
• Dozens of minor bug squashes and logic refinements

Be sure to visit our SIR Wiki for migration notes and detailed configuration examples. As always, SIR+ (the premium edition) and the Fabric server-side port remain in active development—exciting things are on the horizon!

Thank you for helping SIR exceed 20,000 downloads. Your feedback and support drive every improvement—let’s keep revolutionizing Minecraft chat together! 🚀

Hey everyone,

We’re back with version 1.3, a smaller but important update focused on polish, compatibility, and future‑proofing. This version adds a new configuration option to improve compatibility with plugins like GriefPrevention, and continues to optimize internal structures.

🔧 Takion has been updated from 1.1 to 1.2 — this update is mandatory, and it brings full compatibility with Minecraft 1.21.7+ as well as internal performance upgrades. Make sure to install the latest Takion version to avoid runtime errors!

⭐ Features:

• New config option:

default-bukkit-plugin-methods: false

Use this to toggle between Bukkit’s default plugin methods or SIR’s custom implementations.
It's recommended to leave it as false for better performance and to fix issues with plugins like GriefPrevention.

◉ Changes:

• Updated Takion dependency to 1.2 – required for 1.21.7+ support and better internal efficiency
• Minor internal improvements and small method renaming for clarity

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed command registration conflicts with GriefPrevention by adding configurable method toggle
• Other small internal cleanups and logic refinements

You can find full documentation and migration help on the SIR Wiki. As always, SIR+ (premium version) is still in development, and the Fabric server‑side port is steadily progressing.

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share version 1.2, which introduces one highly requested feature and continues our mission to make SIR lean and reliable. This release brings official EssentialsDiscord chat support, allowing your Discord ↔️ Minecraft chat bridge to run seamlessly under EssentialsDiscord’s configuration—no additional SIR settings required.

Also important: Takion has been updated from 1.0 to 1.1 to fix a critical issue where internal dependencies were outdated, causing module and command menus to break in Minecraft 1.21.5+. This upgrade is mandatory, so make sure to update your Takion installation! Download it clicking here.

⭐ Features:

• Full integration with EssentialsDiscord for in‑game and Discord chat sync (configured entirely via EssentialsDiscord)

◉ Changes:

• Refactored internal messaging pipeline for improved efficiency and reduced latency
• Updated Takion dependency to version 1.1 – required to support modern server versions and fix broken module/command menus on 1.21.5+

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed crash when sending an empty chat message through the plugin
• Resolved issue reloading multiple commands at once in the commands menu

For complete setup instructions and advanced tips, visit our SIR Wiki. Don’t forget—SIR+, our premium edition with next‑level moderation tools, is on its way, and a Fabric server‑side port is in active development.

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to bring you version 1.1, which focuses entirely on under-the-hood improvements to how user data is handled. We’ve optimized loading and saving routines so that user information is now processed much more efficiently—no new features this time around, just a leaner, snappier experience.

As a reminder, SIR Chat Plugin still requires Takion as a mandatory dependency, so please ensure Takion is installed before updating.

◉ Changes:

• Refactored user data management: user profiles are now loaded and saved faster and more reliably

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed issue where empty chat messages were being sent regardless of content
• Resolved problem in the Join & Quit module where spawn teleportation still occurred even when disabled
• Patched error that caused commands to fail when executed during the AsyncPlayerChatEvent

Don’t forget to check out our SIR Wiki for detailed documentation, and stay tuned for SIR+, the upcoming premium edition with advanced moderation features. A Fabric server-side port is also currently in development.

Hello everyone,

I want to start by sincerely apologizing for the incredibly long delay—life threw me some unexpected curveballs, and updating this plugin turned into a real marathon. I truly appreciate your patience, and I promise to push out updates more regularly (but don’t worry, I won’t flood you with constant patches 😉).

Please note: as of this release, SIR now requires Takion as a mandatory dependency. Make sure you have Takion installed before upgrading!

⭐ Features:

• Completely overhauled internal architecture for lightning‑fast message parsing
• Brand‑new modular API—easily swap in or out individual chat behaviors
• Configurable message formats with placeholders and color codes
• Private messaging overhaul: threaded replies, nicknames, and mentions support
• /ignore, /msg, and /reply commands now respect custom group permissions

◉ Changes:

• Reset version numbering to 1.0 for a clean, unified codebase
• Simplified YAML config schema—no more nested “sections” headaches
• Legacy Spigot versions (1.8→1.12) now auto-detect compatibility mode
• Improved startup logging with version checks and dependency warnings

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed rare memory leak in the ignore-list loader
• Mended broken color‑code parsing in console broadcasts
• Resolved issue where /reply occasionally targeted the wrong player
• Patched chat‑formatting crash when using custom JSON messages
