Changelog - Discord Bridge

[1.0.8] - 2026-03-19

Added

• 🔐 Active Session Management: Implemented system to prevent duplicate logins across multiple servers
  • New ActiveSessionStorage class for tracking and managing player sessions across server instances
  • Prevents players from being logged in simultaneously on multiple servers
  • Shared session state via persistent JSON storage for multi-server consistency
  • Automatic session cleanup and expiration handling

Files Created

• util/ActiveSessionStorage.java - Core player session tracking and management

Changed

• Internal code cleanup (removed obsolete log files: jarJar_error.txt, jar_log.txt, package_output.txt)
• .gitignore - Added .VsCodeCounter to ignore list

[1.0.7] - 2026-03-16

Fixed

• 🐛 Discord Error 10062 - Unknown Interaction: Fixed critical timeout issue with /verify slash command
  • Problem: Blocking I/O operations (reading/writing verification file) and Discord API calls were causing responses to exceed Discord's 3-second deadline, resulting in "Error 10062: Unknown interaction"
  • Solution: Implemented asynchronous execution - Discord response is sent immediately, while file I/O and nickname changes occur in a background thread
  • DiscordEventHandler.onSlashCommandInteraction() now sends confirmation instantly via event.getHook(), then processes verification operations asynchronously
  • Added comprehensive error handling with try-catch and logging for background operations
  • Impact: Eliminates timeout errors, improves user experience with instant feedback, prevents cascade failures on high-traffic servers

Changed

• discord/DiscordEventHandler.java - Refactored verification workflow to use background threading
• Version suffix removed for stable release

Documentation

• Added 10_ERROR_10062_FIX_EN.md - Complete technical documentation of the bug and its fix
• Added 10_ERROR_10062_FIX_FR.md - French version of the error documentation

Changed

• Internal changelog structure cleanup and version ordering normalization.

[1.0.5] - 2026-03-15

Added

• ✨ Global Verification System: Players verified once on Discord can now connect to ALL servers without re-verifying

  • New VerificationManager class for centralized verification management with intelligent caching
  • 3-second TTL cache system to minimize file I/O on shared verification JSON
  • Updated /verify command with global cross-server verification confirmation
  • Automatic recognition across all connected server instances

• 🚫 Ban Synchronization System: Complete ban management across Discord and Minecraft platforms

  • New BanStorage class for persistent ban storage with JSON persistence
  • New BanManager class providing easy ban/unban operations with audit trails
  • Automatic player kickback with customizable reason when banned
  • Ban checking at login (priority: before verification check)
  • Complete ban tracking: reason, timestamp, who banned the player, and platform
  • Bans instantly synchronized across all servers via shared JSON file

• 📝 Configuration Enhancements:

  • ENABLE_BAN_SYNC - Toggle ban synchronization on/off
  • BANNED_PLAYERS_PATH - Shared ban file path (default: config/discordbridge-banned.json)
  • BAN_KICK_MESSAGE - Customizable ban kick message with {reason} variable support

• 📚 Documentation:

  • Comprehensive documentation in 08_VERIFICATION_AND_BANS.md
  • Implementation guide in 09_COMMANDS_IMPLEMENTATION.md for future /ban command additions
  • Updated README with verification and ban system sections
  • Complete API documentation with developer examples

• 🛠️ New API Methods:

  • BanManager.unbanPlayer(username, unbannedBy) - Unban player
  • BanManager.isBanned(username) - Check ban status
  • VerificationManager.verifyGlobally(username, discordId, server) - Verify globally
  • VerificationManager.isVerifiedWithCache(username) - Cached verification check

Modified

• mixin/PlayerListMixin.java - Now checks bans BEFORE verification on login (prioritizes ban detection)
• discord/DiscordEventHandler.java - /verify message now clearly indicates global cross-server verification
• config/BridgeConfig.java - Added complete ban-related configuration options
• DiscordBridge.java - Now loads both verified players and bans at startup
• README.md - Added comprehensive ban synchronization documentation and architecture explanation

Files Created

• util/BanStorage.java - Core ban data management with JSON persistence
• util/BanManager.java - High-level ban operations with synchronization
• util/VerificationManager.java - Centralized verification management with intelligent caching
• minecraft/commands/BridgeBanCommand.java - Skeleton for future ban command implementation
• IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Technical implementation summary
• RESUME_FR.md - French language summary

Technical Details

• Ban checks use direct file I/O for immediate consistency across instances
• Verification uses 3-second TTL cache to reduce I/O while maintaining near-instant updates
• Ban and verification systems are completely independent and can be toggled separately
• Both systems support network paths for true multi-server shared storage
• Includes ban metadata (banner, timestamp, reason) for audit trails and future appeal systems

[1.0.3] - 2026-03-14

Fixed

• Discord Timeout: Added deferReply() to fix the "Application not responding" red error on Discord.
• SDLink Cleanup: Added automated cleanup of old global commands at startup.
• Global Verification: Any server instance can now respond to a verification request, ensuring no instance ignores a command.
• Shared Storage: Added verifiedPlayersPath to share the verification list between multiple local servers.

[1.0.2] - 2026-03-14

Fixed

• Absolute Join Block: Implemented a Mixin on PlayerList#canPlayerLogin for absolute reliability. This blocks unverified players at the socket level, preventing world load and ensuring the kick message is always displayed (fixes "Connection reset").

[1.0.1] - 2026-03-14

Added

• Dynamic /verify server selection from SERVER_LIST config.
• Registration logging for slash commands.

[1.0.0] - 2026-03-14

Added

• Initial release for NeoForge 1.21.1.
• Bidirectional chat between Minecraft and Discord.
• Join/Leave notifications.
• Death messages relay.
• Server start/stop notifications.
• Automatic whitelist via Discord role.
• Support for multi-server setups with per-channel routing.
• /verify slash command for player validation.
• Automatic nickname synchronization upon verification.

Fixed

• Instant Slash Commands: Switched to Guild-level registration for /verify to bypass the 1-hour global propagation delay.
• Verification Kick Logic: Moved verification check to PlayerNegotiationEvent and used event.getConnection().disconnect() to ensure the custom kick message is properly displayed instead of a "Connection reset" error.
• Fat JAR Build: Replaced the problematic jarJar system with the Shadow Plugin to merge JDA and its dependencies flat into the mod JAR, bypassing JPMS class-loading isolation issues.
• JPMS Conflicts: Implemented a comprehensive exclusion list (Kotlin, Gson, SLF4J, Netty, etc.) to prevent "split package" ResolutionExceptions when running alongside other mods.
