ZDiscord

Added

• Halloween seasonal event A configurable seasonal mob hunt with customizable date window (halloween.window-start / halloween.window-end), mob kill tracking, point scoring, and finale rewards. PvP kills are excluded.
• In-game /zdiscord halloween [status|top] displays event dates, personal points, and standings with the default player permission zdiscord.halloween.
• Discord /halloween slash command displays event state, standings, and countdown.
• Daily countdown announcements in Discord and Minecraft broadcasts leading up to the event opening.
• Live standings embed panel auto-updating during the event window.
• Milestone announcements when players reach configured point thresholds, with boss multiplier bonuses for dragons, withers, and elder guardians.
• Configurable event timezone, eligible worlds and mob types, excluded game modes, and spawner-mob filtering.
• Optional Halloween join titles, ambient sounds, and milestone particles with separate appearance controls (cosmetics require explicit opt-in).
• Independent switches for opening announcements and public Minecraft broadcasts.
• Automatic ticket inactivity closure, persistent exclusive staff claims, and complete paginated transcripts with chronological attachments and embed records.

Changed

• Configuration schema version bumped to 16; existing settings are preserved while new defaults are materialized.
• Startup banner counts 17 modules, including the seasonal event.
• Halloween messages and displays use concise text, orange accents, and numbered standings; all in-game text customizable via messages.yml.
• Seasonal progress is described as points to reflect boss bonuses; Discord standings capped at 25 entries.
• Removed empty internal lifecycle hooks, unused message templates and status fields, obsolete ticket-count writes, and decorative emoji.

Fixed

• Setup dropdowns and modals check administrator permissions in the configured guild; category IDs, colors, and limits are validated.
• Reloads unregister command-log listeners, cancel console and lockdown timers, and reconcile public API settings.
• Shutdown drains Discord callbacks before closing storage and prevents late bot reconnects.
• Paper staff-chat toggles relay each message once, namespaced sensitive commands redact arguments, and Discord console works when the chat channel is unset.
• Shaded SLF4J providers are discovered through the plugin classloader, and turning off log suppression restores normal library logging.
• Text conversion preserves literal ampersands and strips hex colors correctly. Slash profile, seen, and following titles honor message settings; update checks avoid duplicate notices and tolerate oversized version numbers.
• Ticket controls validate the configured guild and tracked channel; failed interaction acknowledgements or deletion requests release the closing guard for retry.
• Required account linking supplies a code in the rejected login message. Each Minecraft account has one pending code, and relinking keeps both account directions consistent.
• Concurrent playtime flushes claim each interval once, preserving fractional seconds. Leaderboard updates persist in the same order as accepted changes.
• Stored follows are available before a player joins; reloads and the public follower API preserve accepted buffered writes.
• Configuration reloads and Discord setup reconcile enabled modules, refresh channel settings, and replace repeating panel timers. Local linking and statistics also initialize without Discord.
• Discord panels serialize creation, ignore stale callbacks, and replace messages only when Discord confirms deletion.
• Ticket interactions defer before channel creation. Atomic reservations enforce linked-account limits, private channels explicitly grant bot access, and slots are released only after confirmed deletion.
• MySQL schema failures close the connection pool and select YAML fallback instead of reporting a working database.
• Discord REST/callback workers drain before Paper closes the plugin classloader. Disabled-plugin database cleanup avoids rejected scheduler tasks, and concurrent ticket welcomes display their own ticket number.
• Link/follow event threading matches the caller. Join/follower database lookups run off the game thread, and delayed welcome messages use the player scheduler.
• Update notifications use Spigot-compatible clickable components. Advancement embeds use display titles, and quit embeds show the correct online-player count.
• Discord attachments carry clickable Minecraft URLs using the Spigot component API.
• Minecraft seasonal scoring and commands remain available without a connected Discord bot.
• Creative, Spectator, passive-mob, and spawner kills are excluded from the default hunt.
• Actual mob deaths and boss bonuses contribute to the hunt, including milestones crossed by a multi-point kill.
• Event reloads retire old panel loops, preserve in-flight panel creation, and retain scores and reward claims across the master switch.
• Late and offline finale checks recover the recorded event, and winner rewards apply to first place only.
• MySQL write ordering prevents stale score writes from replacing newer values; shutdown drains pending writes before closing the pool.
