• Fix | Proxy message listeners are now stateless, fixing races on Folia region threads

Please update your VelocityControl too.

• Fix | Command aliases such as /msg and /w now show the alias you typed in usage messages and the {label} placeholder, instead of the main /tell command label

• New | You can now customize how Discord attachments appear in Minecraft chat with the Discord.Attachment_Format key in settings.yml, using {url} and {filename} placeholders with full MiniMessage support.
• Improve | No longer report transient MySQL/MariaDB connection drops or oversized-packet errors as plugin bugs, reducing console noise during network hiccups and server restarts.
• Fix | ItemsAdder font image replacement no longer spams errors or breaks chat while ItemsAdder is still loading or reloading its content.
• Fix | Solved "Packet for query is too large" killing the database connection. Oversized rows are now skipped with a clear warning telling you to raise max_allowed_packet.

• New | Discord attachments (images, files) are now bridged to Minecraft as clickable [filename] links that open in the player's browser, with the URL shown on hover. Filenames pass through your chat filters and rules.
• Improve | When Send_Messages_As_Bot is enabled, the bot now re-uploads attachments to the same Discord channel before deleting the user's original message, so the links keep working in both Discord and Minecraft.

Please update your BungeeControl and VelocityControl too.

• Improve | Hardened broadcast path for player messages, load-tested at 349 simultaneous proxy connections with 529 server switches and zero stalls.
• Fix | Discord emoji stripping no longer breaks links, : inside URLs is preserved.
• Fix | Discord attachments now bridge to Minecraft as clickable [filename] links when Send_Messages_As_Bot: false. settings.yml documents that attachments cannot bridge in bot mode (Discord CDN links die when the original message is deleted).

• Fix | Solved crash when /mail forward is used while the player is already in a conversation (e.g. another menu prompt).
• Fix | Tolerate MySQL error 1060 ("duplicate column") during the logs Id migration on multi-server setups where another node already added the column.
• Fix | One broken item in chat no longer breaks the whole message, only the bad hover is stripped.
• Fix | No longer auto-report harmless MySQL "1932 doesn't exist in engine" warnings.
