VelocityPteroPower v0.9.3.1 - Release Notes

This release focuses on enhancing server management flexibility, configuration options, and overall stability within VelocityPteroPower.

✨ New Features

• Configurable Server Status Check Method:
  • A new serverStatusCheckMethod option has been added to config.yml.
  • Choose between VELOCITY_PING (uses Velocity's built-in ping) or PANEL_API (uses Pterodactyl/Pelican panel API for higher precision, mindful of API rate limits).
• Adjustable Logging Level:
  • Control the plugin's log verbosity using the new loggerLevel setting in config.yml.
• Customizable Initial Check Delay:
  • The startupInitialCheckDelay option in config.yml allows you to configure how long the plugin waits before the first server status check after startup.
• Refined Limbo Server Handling:
  • Improved logic for handling limbo servers, including dynamic checks to ensure they are usable before redirecting players.
• Enhanced Messages:
  • Added new placeholders and messages to messages.yml.
  • The %limbo% placeholder can now be used in relevant messages.
  • New messages provide more detail during server startup and when encountering API rate limits.

🚀 Improvements

• Updated Server Startup Flow:
  • Players attempting to connect to a starting server will now be redirected to a configured limbo server (if available and usable).
  • Added pre-checks for Pterodactyl API rate limits before attempting to start a server via the API.
• Enhanced Logging:
  • Added detailed debug-level logging for server status checks and API interactions, aiding troubleshooting.
  • Improved detection and logging of potential panel or server misconfigurations.
• Optimized Server Shutdown & Retries:
  • Refined the server shutdown process and retry logic.
  • Now considers API rate limits and whether a server is empty before attempting shutdown actions.
• Version Checker Update:
  • De-duplicated critical update warnings.
  • Merged CRITICAL and HIGH urgency levels for update notifications for clarity.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Resolved an issue where players could be disconnected during target server startup if configured limbo servers were unavailable or unusable.
• Improved consistency in task handling and retries during the server shutdown sequence.
• Prevented unhandled exceptions during server status checks (both PING and API), ensuring graceful handling of rate limits and other unknown errors.
