Astral Core - SMP Engine v2.3.3-astral

Fixed​

• Fixed an issue where returning from the End could incorrectly trigger inventory or armor logic.
• Prevented starter kits/loadouts from applying during End exit portal transitions.
• Improved safety checks around inventory synchronization (respawn kit is centralized; post-death teleporter no longer reapplies chainmail every tick).
• Removed duplicate unconditional chainmail application from the settings module on respawn.

Added​

• Added optional End exit portal inventory protection (inventory.protect-end-exit-portal, default true).
• Added inventory.portal-protection-ticks and inventory.debug in main config.yml.
• Added clearer database connection failure messages ([DonutCore] Database connection failed...) for economy, shards, stats, spawn, and homes.
• Added Database setup for beginners in Guide.md.
• Added docs/compatibility.md with platform support matrix and manual test checklist.

Changed​

• Improved /worth reload: clears shulker worth cache and rebuilds GUI material list; invalid values keys log a warning instead of failing silently.
• Removed invalid PLANKS entry from default worth.yml (use OAK_PLANKS, etc.).
• Startup logs a note when server version contains 26.1 (built against Paper 1.21.1 API).

• Fixed semantic version comparison so older remote versions such as v2.0.3 are not reported as newer than 2.2.x.
• Existing loaded worlds are detected and reused by the internal region service.
• When standalone RegionVerse is installed and enabled, DonutCore disables its internal world loader to avoid duplicate managed-world startup/import work.
• DonutCore now soft-depends on RegionVerse so the external plugin is detected first when both plugins are installed.

• No more need for RegionVerse everything now is built-in.

• Removed the license system the plugin now starts up instantly without any key validation or network checks.
• /donutcore reload works immediately without waiting for license revalidation.

• You can now retrieve items from the snapshots menu without forcing a rollback.
