Changelog

Improved Data Storage

• Playtime, server, and configuration data are now saved atomically, preventing crashes during saving from corrupting or emptying files.
• A .bak backup of the previous file is created automatically before every update.
• Played automatically restores playtime data from its backup if a file is corrupted or cannot be read.
• Reliable immediate saving on world/server changes, AFK, disconnects, and client shutdown remains in place.

Stability Fixes

• Disconnect handling now runs on Minecraft's client thread instead of racing the render thread from Netty I/O.
• AFK and periodic-save timing now use a monotonic clock and are unaffected by system clock changes.
• Interrupted legacy storage migrations recover whichever central data file is missing without restoring intentionally deleted server entries.
• Server addresses are normalized consistently, renamed servers update their stored display name, and locale-specific casing can no longer create duplicate entries.
• Invalid boolean config values retain the last valid setting, and negative AFK timeouts are clamped safely.
• Cloth Config is now declared as a required dependency, preventing a missing-library crash when opening Played's config screen.
• Added automated storage, migration, overflow, and invalid-config regression tests.
