TotemGuard v1.2.0 Release Notes

What's New

• Cross-Server Alerts: Added support for cross-server alerts via plugin messaging or Redis, thanks to @MattMX.
• New Check - BadPacketsC: Introducing the BadPacketsC check (by @athulsib to counter cheats that send impossible slot change packets, improving overall cheat detection.
• New Command - /tg top: A convenient new command to display the top 10 current violators online. Banned or offline players are excluded for accuracy.
• Enhanced /tg check <player> Command: The /tg check <player> command has been rewritten from the ground up (again), ensuring smoother operation and reliability.
• Custom Dependency Loader: We've moved away from the libraries tag in plugin.yml to a custom dependency loader (source). This change reduces console spam during server startup by managing dependencies in the bootstrap phase.
• Version Injection: Builds now include the latest Git commit hash for snapshot or development builds. This is implemented through the new TGVersions.java class, which is dynamically generated during the build process.
• 1.21.4 Support: The plugin is fully compatible with Minecraft 1.21.4. Once the version is officially released, simply update PacketEvents to the latest version. While initial tests show everything works seamlessly, please report any unexpected issues!

Fixes and Improvements

• Permission Bug Fix: Resolved a bug that unintentionally granted the TotemGuard.Update permission to all players by default, resulting in unnecessary update alerts. Apologies for the inconvenience!
• Dependency Update: Upgraded Ebean to the latest stable version.
• General Enhancements: Made several small optimizations and code improvements for better performance and stability.
