ChatControl - Format & Filter Chat v12.1.8

• 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 | Updated bundled Adventure library to 5.1.1.
• 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 checker crash when a plugin pushes a blank message through the chat pipeline.
• 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.

• Fix | Solved "Adventure failed to convert component to JSON" log spam when InteractiveChat-PacketEvents [item]/[inv] placeholders attach item NBT that Paper's data component converter rejects. The chat message is now sent with the broken item hover removed while preserving text hovers, clicks, colors and formatting.

• Fix | InteractiveChat [item], [inv] and similar placeholders no longer render as red text with an "Unable to parse placeholder" hover. Requires Chat_Listener_Priority to end with -MODERN in settings.yml when InteractiveChat is set to UsePaperModernChatEvent: true (its default on modern Paper).

• New | Sender_Permission and Receiver_Permission in formats now support the ! prefix to negate a permission check (e.g. !group.bedrock hides the part from receivers who have that permission)
• Fix | Migration from legacy ChatControl versions is now idempotent and recoverable, partial states from a previously failed mail table migration no longer block the upgrade and unreadable rows are skipped with a warning instead of aborting the whole migration
• Fix | Messages removed with [X] no longer leak the original hover or click events from the replacement component
• Improve | Resolved rare Paper watchdog edge cases when debugging proxy directory traffic under load

• Fix | Solved "StackOverflowError" when a rule's Match regex matches a command that the rule itself dispatches via Player Commands. The rule no longer re-enters itself; a warning is logged instead suggesting to adjust the regex or add an ignore condition.

• Fix | Solved a color permission bypass where chained or escaped color codes could survive a single sanitization pass.
• Fix | Solved proxy.yml and database.yml not saving new values to their files.
• Fix | Solved "NoSuchMethodError: setAllowNonScalarKeys" crash on 1.8.8 CraftBukkit servers running an older SnakeYAML.

Please update your BungeeControl and VelocityControl too.

• Improve | Variables and JavaScript are now skipped for messages that don't contain {, reducing CPU on busy chat channels.
• Improve | Better Folia compatibility for entity checks and sync/async reporting.
• Fix | No longer crashes on Arclight servers.
