NexusShout - Velocity Global Chat Plugin v1.6.0

New Features

• Discord Integration: bridge Minecraft global chat (and join/leave/server-switch/PMs) to Discord, with optional Discord -> Minecraft inbound bridge.
• Two transports, choose per event:

- Bot (uses a Discord Bot Token, powered by JDA). Required for inbound and supports embeds.
- Webhook (no library; pure HTTP). Outbound only. Per-channel webhook URL with custom username and avatar.

• Inbound role gate: restrict who in a Discord channel can bridge to MC by Discord role IDs. Empty list = everyone in the channel.
• Per-server channel routing: map each proxy server to a different Discord channel/webhook; falls back to a default route.
• Player head avatars via Crafatar when using webhooks.
• Markdown <-> MiniMessage translation between Discord and MC.
• Mention sanitizer: prevents Everyone/here abuse, replaces <@id> with Name.

Configuration

• New file: plugins/nexusshout/discord.yml, fully documented inline.
• All Discord settings live there so credentials and routing can be managed independently (and easily excluded from version control).

Dependencies

• JDA 5.2.1 (relocated; shaded).
• OkHttp 4.12.0 (relocated; shaded).

Notes

• The bot needs the MESSAGE CONTENT and SERVER MEMBERS privileged intents only when inbound is enabled (toggle these in the Discord Developer Portal).
• Built-in safety: inbound messages are pushed via a dedicated path that does not loop back into Discord.

1.5.0 Changelog

Default config.yml and locale files:
https://github.com/Nexus-Craft/NexusShout-Resources

New Features

• Global Private Messaging: Added /nmsg (aliases: /nms) and /nr (aliases: /nreply) for cross-server communication (disabled by default to avoid conflicts).
• UNTESTED Vanish Integration: Privacy support for PremiumVanish and SayanVanish. Vanished players appear "not found" to senders without bypass permissions (nshout.vanish.see).

Security & Moderation

• Mute Support: Private messages strictly respect LiteBans and LibertyBans mutes (or you can add the commands to LiteBans/LibertyBans config mute blacklist).
• Anti-Abuse: Applied global Anti-Spam and Anti-Flood filters to private messaging.
• Access Control: Added configurable permissions and separate cooldowns for private messages in config.yml.

Configuration & System

• Smart Config Updater: Completely refactored the auto-updater to support nested configuration paths, ensuring new features are added safely without breaking existing configs.
• Locale Auto-Updater: The plugin now automatically appends missing translation keys to your locale files while preserving your custom edits and comments.
• Live Command Reload: Command registration is now dynamic; toggling features or changing aliases in config.yml applies instantly via /nshoutreload without needing a proxy restart.

Localization
- Full Language Support: Added private messaging, error, and moderation messages to all 18 supported languages (including pm-muted notifications).

Bug Fixes

• Event Priority: Added a configurable chat-listener-priority option to config.yml to resolve conflicts with low-level packet modification plugins.
• Global Chat Leak: Fixed an issue where blocked global messages (e.g., due to cooldown or permission checks) would leak to the backend server.

1.4.1 Changelog

Fixes
- Fixed a critical bug in the config auto-updater where it would fail to copy the content of new configuration sections (like anti-flood/anti-spam settings) or insert them incorrectly nested inside other sections.
