ProtectCore | Anti Grief - Web UI | v4.4

Update Changelog

• Added expiration support for one-time /pc_tp teleport tokens.
• Added automatic cleanup for expired /pc_tp tokens during the scheduled token GC task.

• Added connection and read timeouts to the update checker for more reliable network handling.
• Cleaned up the Spigot update-check URL handling.
• Switched subcommand storage from HashMap to LinkedHashMap for stable command/help ordering.
• Preserved original username casing in log output instead of forcing lowercase.
• Improved time-ago formatting to safely handle negative clock differences.
• Updated time formatting to use Locale.ROOT for consistent decimal output across locales.
• Improved /pc_tp token validation so tokens are consumed immediately and expired tokens are rejected.
• Updated /pc_tp tab completion to return no suggestions directly.
• Changed date locale access to use the cached plugin value instead of rereading config each time.
• Updated Editor API server initialization to use the cached dateLocale value.
• Fixed a possible NullPointerException in system log detection by using a safe UUID comparison.

Shutdown / WorldEdit drain fixes

• Fixed plugin shutdown error caused by WorldEdit queue draining trying to register Bukkit tasks after the plugin was already disabling.
• Removed scheduled/asynchronous WorldEdit drain usage from onDisable().
• Changed shutdown flow to use a direct, synchronous WorldEdit queue drain instead.
• Kept shutdown order safe: unregister WorldEdit bridge first, drain WorldEdit queues second, flush database queue last.

ProtectCore shutdown flow

• Updated ProtectCore.onDisable() to stop new WorldEdit hooks before draining pending edit logs.
• Replaced WELoggingExtent.flushAllQueues(...) + async drain waiting with WELoggingExtent.flushAllQueuesDirect().
• Ensured database shutdown happens only after WorldEdit entries have been pushed into the DB queue.
• Preserved final scheduler cancellation at the end of shutdown instead of relying on scheduled drain tasks.

WELoggingExtent changes

• Added a direct shutdown-safe queue flush path that does not use runTask, runTaskTimer, BukkitRunnable, or Paper schedulers.
• Direct drain now polls queued WorldEdit entries and logs them straight into the database queue.
• Direct drain builds log metadata the same way as the normal scheduled drain, including origin, material, block data, and pretty material name.
• Direct drain safely handles unknown/missing worlds by dropping queued entries with a warning instead of crashing shutdown.
• Reset drain state cleanly after direct flushing finishes.

Stability / safety improvements

• Avoided illegal task registration during plugin disable, preventing IllegalPluginAccessException.
• Reduced shutdown race risk between queued WorldEdit drain work and database shutdown.
• Kept database queue acceptance window open long enough for shutdown-drained WorldEdit entries to be persisted.
• Improved reliability of graceful shutdown for pending WorldEdit block change logs.

Search & Performance Update

• Improved search performance for PLAYER_MESSAGE and PLAYER_COMMAND logs.
• Added a dedicated fast path for chat and command searches.
• Message and command searches now use details-only text matching instead of scanning full metadata.
• Kept metadata loading disabled for message/command rows in the UI path.

Search Improvements

• Added unified text-search handling for more consistent search behavior.
• Improved multi-word FULLTEXT query handling.
• Added smarter index selection so FULLTEXT searches no longer get forced onto weaker normal indexes.
• Improved action-specific search performance.
• Improved per-user action search performance.
• Improved message/command-specific FULLTEXT searching.

Database / Indexing

• Added support for dedicated message/command search text handling.
• Added support for a dedicated FULLTEXT index for chat/command searching.
• Added support for an action + time index to improve action-specific browsing.
• Added support for a player + action + time index to improve per-user action browsing.

Code Cleanup

• Reworked filter-building logic to reduce duplicated query code.
• Updated user search paths to use the new shared search logic.
• Updated area search paths to use the new shared search logic.
• Reduced duplicate SQL-building across paged, keyset, and windowed searches.
• Made search behavior more consistent across paged, keyset, windowed, user, and area queries.

Synopsis
This update mainly focuses on making the plugin faster, safer, and more scalable by improving database startup, schema/index design, query performance, retry behavior, and item/container logging so searches and rollbacks are more reliable. It also tightens the editor and API side with safer rendering, cleaner pagination, better async/tab handling, stronger filtering/date handling, and reduced desync or stale-state issues.

For best results I recommend that you do /po purge 0 and start your database storage from the begining.

• Added maintenance mode protection to stop DB queues from growing too large.
• Improved shutdown handling so queued work flushes more safely.
• Switched Hikari to use MariaDbDataSource directly.
• Split DB setup into fast startup + heavy async migrations.
• Added async schema updates for name/lore search columns and FULLTEXT indexes.
• Added generated chunk columns cx and cz.
• Added new chunk-based indexes for faster rollback and area searches.
• Updated queries to use cx/cz and sort_ts for better performance.
• Improved filtering for materials, entities, ignored usernames, name, and lore.
• Added safer retry logic for transient DB update failures.
• Added dedicated database fields for searchable item data, including name, lore, and enchants.
• Switched item name, lore, and enchant search data from JSON storage to dedicated database columns for better reliability and performance.
• Cleaned up item frame logs so even basic items now store usable item data instead of sometimes being empty.
• Expanded item search logging to cover more important cases, including pickup/drop, item frames, armor stands, and container add/take.
• Improved container tracking to reduce duplicate logs and store cleaner snapshots.
• Added better handling for shulker box snapshots when placed with items already inside.
• Updated database startup so the essential setup runs first, while larger migration tasks run after startup to reduce load during boot.
• Hardened the editor UI against injection by replacing fragile string-built HTML/JS with safer escaping and DOM-based rendering.
• Fixed async race conditions in log loading so stale requests no longer append into the wrong tab or corrupt loading state.
• Restored consistent tab behavior: switching tabs now cleanly resets and reloads with correct per-tab pagination state.
• Improved metadata rendering and item-detail display, including safer parsing of colored text/lore and lazy-loaded metadata panels.
• Cleaned up client pagination by using keyset cursors (lastTimestamp / lastId) instead of brittle page-based behavior.
• Tightened server-side request flow with better token handling, refresh support, gzip responses, and more up-to-date stats rendering.
• Fixed backend filtering edge cases, including safer config handling, better request parsing, and consistent timezone-aware date filtering.
• Simplified API usage toward safer, more reliable same-origin behavior and reduced frontend/backend desync issues.
• Removed dead code / stale state from earlier refactors, making the editor easier to maintain without changing intended features.

• Small hotfix for lookup when using an action and the include filters together some material entries didn't show up at the results but they existed without the include.
• Small updates here and there.

• Added /po purge to remove old data (actions + orphan snapshots) and optimize automatically if there’s enough free disk space.
  
  
• Removed startup auto-maintenance/optimization (unsafe on low disk space machines).
  
  
• Added a one-command full database delete + recreate option.
  
  
• Various code cleanup + optimizations.

New purge command (with prompts + confirmations):
Examples

• Keep last 30 days (delete everything older): /po purge 30
  
  
• View progress / results anytime: /po purge status
  
  
• Stop purge: /po purge stop

⚠ Warning

• /po purge 0 = deletes everything and recreates the database (use when disk space is low).
  
  
• Purging alone won’t shrink the DB file; optimization does. Optimization will run automatically if you have enough disk space. Optimization requires free disk space ≈ DB size (e.g., 100GB DB → ~100GB free). If you don’t have that, use /po purge 0.
