What's new:

1. Support minecraft 1.21.2/1.21.3
As always, you can request a dev version in tickets to get support for the latest versions of the game or new features before the stable release is published.

2. Complete rework of comments and values in configurations.
Now all comments and values have become more stylized and readable.

3. Configuration of time duration in the form of ordinary numbers is replaced by more understandable patterns of the form.
Now you can explicitly specify the duration of the parameter time instead of giving this time in milliseconds.

4. Flexible message customization and title support.
Now you can customize each message type with its own text, as well as customize the title and subtitle parameters with duration.

5. Full migration from SQLite to H2.
Now the proxy uses the H2 database by default, which should have a positive effect on performance.

6. Filter connection statistics.
Now the proxy records detailed statistics about the player when connecting to the filter.
You can generate a report with the /nullcordx report command.

7. Added support for plugins such as Packetevents, Geyser and others that inject or modify handlers.
To do this, you should disable the parameters responsible for performance in the nullcordx configuration.

8. Improved message logging system, now you can disable literally all logging in the proxy.
9. Improved all transparent checks.
10. Now the logs will display specific names of check templates, instead of names of check types.
11. Speeded up license verification in a situation where the main license server is unavailable.
12. Added the ability to record live statistics and network statistics to the database.
13. Added MariaDB support.
14. Added new types of render layers for captcha: "Blur", "Sharpness", "Contrast" and "Picker"
15. Added the ability to always allow shown chat.
16. Added the ability to configure max client payload size.
17. Added the ability to ban/unban IP address by mask.
18. Added the ability to clear antibot statistics with the command /nullcordx stats reset.
19. Added the ability to strictly check the player's nickname when connecting to the server.
20. Added the ability to specify a group type that should not be used as an answer for pick_captcha.
21. Added the ability to index all tables in the database to improve performance.
22. Added the ability to separately configure proxy check cache time parameters for the database and for memory.

Fixes:
1. Fixed broken unix domain socket support.
2. Fixed the situation where the proxy could kick a player if the IP address was not found in the maxmind databases.
3. Fixed a situation where the proxy did not check the current player on the proxy when connecting to the filter.
4. Fixed missing some methods for API.
5. Fixed missing player kick message when packet limiter is triggered.
6. Fixed broken support for some plugins.

Important:

1. Raised the minimum java version to 17 and update all dependencies that were required for java 17.
   This change will allow us to develop and update nullcordx more efficiently, as well as having the latest version of all necessary libraries.
   Compatibility with plugins written in java 8 and above will also remain, as newer versions of java are always backwards compatible with older ones.
2. Added the ability to cache license API result.
   You don't have to worry that our API might fail at the worst possible moment.
   If you run the proxy at least once, then even if the proxy cannot access the API license server, with the help of caching the proxy will still be able to run
3. Now that waterfall does not "update" what will you do? Very simple, waterfall has not been updated for years, except for bungeecord's own updates. NullCordX will continue with strong updates, as always.
4. Fixed and improved modern forge support

New features:

1. Added config migration. Now the configuration will be automatically migrated from old to new versions and you don't need to worry that some parameters were changed after updates.
2. Added chance render layer. You can now set a specific layer to have a rendering chance. This is useful if you want to diversify noise generation.
3. Added group render layer. Now you can specify your own individual layer groups, which will be rendered separately and combined into a single layer.
4. Added copy and paste render layer. Now you can copy the content of the previous layer under a specific ID and then paste the content with that ID anywhere as a separate layer. Very useful, for example, if you have a list of random images but you want to use a specific copy in the current rendering context.
5. Added the ability to trigger the mode under attack via /antibot trigger command. Compared to the /antibot toggle command, this command simulates the mode triggering as if the proxy actually detected the attack.
6. Added the ability to expect code for framed puzzle. It can be useful when you want the player to first restore the image, and then enter the code from the restored image
7. Updated libdeflate and added a new alternative compression - igzip. Igzip has a faster compression rate but slightly lower compression ratio compared to libdeflate, so it may be the preferred choice for captcha generation
8. Added the ability to configure compression type for cached packets and network compression. You can now separately specify what type of compression and what compression level will be used when decoding and encoding packets on the network and when generating cached antibot packets such as captcha
9. Added /antibot testcompression command.
   This command allows you to run a small performance test on all available compressors so you can see which one you should use

Changes:

1. Added the ability to send timeout time in the filter using the player's experience bar.
2. Added the ability to reload permissions via /antibot reload command.
3. Added the ability to configure max dirty captcha time.

5. Added the ability to display antibot ping data in the logs.
6. Added the ability to generate less than 2 glyphs for code generator
7. Added the ability to set answer prefix for captcha
8. Added the ability to download maxmind and proxylist databases from our servers.
9. Added the ability to block client brand by regex.
10. Added the ability to disable empty chat check.
