Minelist - Minecraft Server List Script vpublic_rel_cms_v1.4

Vote rewards (Votifier)​

• NuVotifier protocol v2 support (token + HMAC), alongside existing v1 / legacy RSA Votifier
• Auto mode tries v2 when a token is set, then falls back to v1 when an RSA key is set
• Votifier settings on server create, server edit, and admin — host, port, protocol, public key, and v2 token
• Validation and clearer feedback when config is incomplete or delivery fails
• Votifier Tester updated for both v1 and v2
• FAQ updated with supported Votifier types and setup notes
• DB migration: votifier_token + votifier_protocol (php migrations/migrate_votifier_v2.php)

Payments & Pro / Featured / Sponsored​

• PayPal subscription fulfillment fixed — paid subscriptions no longer stuck on Pending when the return URL or webhook is missed
• Sync pending on admin Transactions — reconcile orders with PayPal, including cancelled-but-paid subscriptions (access until period end → Ending status)
• Force activate for edge cases when PayPal dashboard shows active/paid but API sync fails
• Clearer error messages (sandbox vs live mismatch, cancelled subscriptions, processing delays)
• “Available from …” date only shown when a subscription was actually cancelled (not on active plans)
• Webhook handling hardened for subscription lifecycle events

Add server wizard (dashboard)​

• Step indicator redesigned — square steps, cleaner connectors, no stray lines on first/last step
• Larger step info icons and better link-field icons
• Smoother gamemode & version pills — active state, live counters, limit warnings, press feedback
• Connection check — clearer buttons; Bedrock-only listings now allowed (Java IP no longer required if Bedrock check succeeds)
• Verify connection uses a clearer wifi/signal icon instead of the phone icon
• Pro upgrade banner and alert icon spacing improved across the form

Edit server page (dashboard)​

• Brought in line with the improved add-server form:
  • Matching input/textarea styling
  • Breadcrumb header with back link
  • Color-coded character counters
  • Active-state gamemode/version pills
  • Icons on link fields
  • Java/Bedrock connection cards with accent check buttons
  • Card-style Votifier toggles + v2 fields
  • Banner uploads with preview; Pro-locked custom page header zone with upgrade link
• Same connection-check and icon-spacing polish as the create flow

Browse & discovery​

• Minecraft 26.1 added to the navbar version dropdown
• /stats breakdowns are clickable — versions, gamemodes, and countries link to their browse pages
• Realm listings without a custom banner now use the default brand/realms_background.webp
• Discord link unified site-wide → discord.gg/EV5hpQU8Z9

Admin dashboard​

• Users page shows how many servers each user owns (clickable)
• Transactions page restyled and documented — Sync, Force activate, clearer statuses (Pending, Ending, Abandoned)
• Fixed layout bug where an admin container could render above the main site

Fixes & polish​

• Theme/step-indicator regressions on several pages corrected
• Icon-to-text spacing improved on alerts, banners, and Pro upgrade messages
• PayPal sync button bugs and misleading sync errors addressed

For operators (deploy checklist)​

1. Run: php migrations/migrate_votifier_v2.php (or the equivalent SQL on live)
2. Confirm PayPal webhooks + credentials match your environment (sandbox vs live)
3. Hard-refresh dashboard pages after deploy to pick up UI changes

Payments​

• PayPal sandbox / live switch clears cached products and plans so live checkout works after testing.
• Subscription or one-time billing in Admin → Payments (monthly renewals vs single checkout per period).
• Pro and Sponsored use the same checkout flow in both modes.
• Clearer message when PayPal checkout fails to start (easier to debug).
• Webhook and return-URL handling improved (HTTPS behind proxies, fewer double-grants).

Servers & ping​

• New servers no longer stay offline after a failed save-time ping if the connection check succeeded.
• Cron retries new servers with an API fallback when direct ping fails.

Dashboard​

• Delete server works from My Servers (including after confirm).
• Validation errors (e.g. country, gamemode) show under the fields.

Server status checker​

• Fixed getting stuck after a failed or odd check; you can check another server again.
• Status dot and label aligned on the result line.

Admin​

• More consistent buttons, fields, and layout across admin pages.
• Duplicate Servers section layout improved.

Site & SEO​

• Navbar: Pro Pricing (was “Pricing”).
• Do-follow links to minelist.io on listing pages and selected FAQs (minecraft servers / minecraft server list).

Distribution / install​

• README with panel-friendly install steps, cron, and ping requirements.
• migrate_distribution_reset.php — wipe servers/users/orders and create a default admin (for resale or clean export).

Database (operators)​

• Optional: add paypal_orders.is_subscription on older DBs if not present.
• Billing mode and period stored in site_settings (no new tables).

Some small bug fixes and the possibility to turn off Captcha fully.

Just replace everything except the config, .htaccess and uploads.
