Chat and Discord Integration

• Fixed the 1.7.10 chat filter so filtered messages now preserve:
  • Clickable links and commands
  • Hover text
  • Colors and formatting
  • Translation-based messages
  • Other styled chat components
• Public chat filtering now runs through Minecraft and Forge's normal chat pipeline instead of rebuilding messages as plain text.
• Added an optional public-chat callback API for Discord bridges and other integrations.
• Only actual public chat is exposed through this API. Faction, alliance, command, and private messages remain private.
• Server-side chat substitutions are now applied consistently before public messages are delivered externally.
• Prevented public messages from being filtered twice between the server and client.

Grain Mill Improvements

• Restored hopper support for Grain Mills.
• Grain Mill structure blocks can now properly forward valid wheat inputs into the mill.
• Existing processing behavior, inventories, saves, and faction protection remain unchanged.
• Restored mature rice right-click harvesting on 1.7.10.

Player Traders

• Added craftable Player Traders.
• Traders allow players to create a single stocked trade offer for other players.
• Shop owners can separately manage:
  • The trade offer
  • Items available for sale
  • Collected payments
• Purchases are fully validated before completing, including stock, payment, item metadata/NBT, permissions, storage capacity, and offer changes.
• Player Traders exist alongside the existing XShop system and do not replace faction shops.

Ender Chest Deposit Controls

• Added optional server-side restrictions for depositing items into Ender Chests.
• Disabled by default.
• Supports:
  • Blacklists
  • Whitelists
  • Item quantity limits
  • Optional restrictions for portable-storage items
• Withdrawals remain unrestricted.
• Rejected deposits safely restore the player's inventory, cursor, and Ender Chest state.
• Existing vanilla Ender Chest save data remains compatible.
• Legacy metadata-based rules are available on 1.7.10, while modern versions use registry-based item IDs.

Alliance Improvements

• Alliance offers are now stored using stable faction UUIDs.
• Alliance commands can resolve both faction names and player targets.
• Existing pending alliance offers are migrated where possible.
• Accepting an alliance now removes only the accepted offer instead of affecting unrelated requests.
• Alliance state is saved and presentation data refreshed immediately after acceptance.

Compatibility and Maintenance

• Preserved existing XShop data and target-specific item serialization.
• Improved compatibility when optional HBM integrations are unavailable.
• Removed systems remain removed and are not restored by this update.
• Updated configuration, recipes, migration notes, and usage documentation.
• Modern Xenofactions networking now requires matching foundation-3 peers.
