Welcome to Version 3.4.0! We've transformed your server and Realm experience with our biggest Essentials expansion to date! Packed with a decentralized Player Auction House, Daily Login Streaks, Random Wilderness Teleportation (RTP), Death-Point Returns, an all-in-one Staff Mode, and deep Economy Analytics, managing your community and playing together has never been this seamless!

Here is everything new in the v3.4.0 Update:

Player Economy & Survival Quality-of-Life

• Player Auction House (!ah): Buy, sell, and trade items with other players through an interactive market! Features configurable seller fees, multi-item listings, 48-hour expiration safety, and offline earnings delivery.
• Daily Login Rewards (!daily): Claim daily cash bonuses with progressive streak rewards scaling up to 14 consecutive days!
• Random Teleportation (!rtp): Explore the wild with instant, configurable random teleportation with built-in cooldowns and optional balance costs.
• Death-Point Return (!back): Never lose your dropped items again—your exact death coordinates are saved automatically so you can teleport right back to the action!
• Expanded TPA & TPAHere System: Send standard teleport requests or summon friends directly to your location with customizable timeout windows and instant accept/deny options.
• Proximity & Global Chat Channels: Switch seamlessly between global chat and proximity-based local chat (!local / !global), complete with a personal player Ignore List to block unwanted messages.

Staff Tools, Moderation & Security

• All-in-One Staff Mode (!staffmode): Staff members can instantly activate Vanish, God Mode, and Creative Flight in a single click with automated staff-wide alerts.
• Dedicated Staff Chat (!sc <message>): Secure, private communications channel accessible exclusively to moderators and administrators.
• Suspicious Player Watchlist: Flag and monitor suspected rule-breakers with automated alerts sent to online staff whenever a watched player joins.
• Persistent Staff Notes: Record and inspect timestamped moderation notes directly on player profiles to keep your staff team coordinated.
• Proximity Radar (!near): Scan your surroundings to check for nearby players and display their exact block distance.

Deep Economy Statistics & Analytics

• Server-Wide Wealth Metrics: View real-time economic health snapshots—including total currency in circulation, online player wealth, average and median account balances, and wealth distribution brackets ($0, $1K+, $10K+, $100K+).
• Economic Inequality Index: Built-in calculation to help server owners maintain a balanced, healthy in-game economy.

Backend & Engine Refinements

• Batched Asynchronous Saving: Replaced frequent continuous storage writes with an optimized dirty-flag flush system, dramatically reducing server overhead and eliminating micro-stutters.
• Anti-Spam & Character Limit Guards: Integrated chat message cooldowns and maximum length checks to prevent chat flooding.
• Offline Auction Payout Buffer: Safeguarded auction sales so offline sellers automatically receive their payouts upon their next login.
