Changelog

1.2 · 2026-09-06

  • One jar, 1.21.1 to 26.2. A single file now covers every supported version, on Java 21 or newer. Built against the 1.21.1 API with Java 21 bytecode, so the range is enforced by the compiler rather than asserted. Verified by running all 243 commands on Paper 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.2.
  • Fixed: the ledger currency looked up the wrong plugin, so servers using Ember's own economy (the default, with no Ember Coins installed) threw on every sidebar draw.
  • Fixed: the chat colour picker printed the MiniMessage tag instead of colouring the sample, so /textcolour showed <gradient:...>example rather than a preview.
  • Fixed: /jailed from the console or RCON threw instead of saying it needs a player.

1.0.0 · 2026-09-04

  • One jar, 1.21.1 to 26.2. A single file covers every supported version, on Java 21 or newer. It is built against the 1.21.1 API with Java 21 bytecode, so the range is enforced by the compiler rather than asserted. Verified by running all 243 commands on Paper 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.2.
  • Sidebar on Folia, drawn with packets (FastBoard); only rank-sorted tab stays off there.
  • Holograms: one-click templates, floating items, a live hotbar toolbelt with size and presets, /hologram menu.
  • Bedrock: every right-click action gets a button menu on tap; buttons now read as typeable commands.
  • Settings screen in the admin panel edits config.yml live; new sections are appended on update.
  • WorldGuard, Multiverse-Core, Fx Core, Floodgate and ItemsAdder listed as soft-depends.

What changed, newest first. Dates are release dates; a version with no date is still in development.

1.0.0 - in development

Not yet released. Everything below is built and running on the Ember test network; it ships when the store listings and wiki media are done.

2026-09-04

  • Shared storage: storage.type: mysql puts homes, warps, mail, kit and playtime claims, tag and perk choices, Discord links, jail sentences, balances, player warps, cosmetics purchases and bans in one MySQL / MariaDB database for a whole network. Files remain the default. Existing files import once.
  • Homes and warps carry the server they were set on; using one from another server hands you across through Ember Bridge and finishes the teleport there.
  • Built-in ledger currency when no economy plugin is present; shared on the database backend. economy.builtin: never turns it off; /essentials importbalances moves it into an economy installed later.
  • Player warps: /pwarp with ratings, visit counts, favourites, recents, categories, search, public / whitelist / private access, icons, multi-line descriptions, visitor fees banked per warp, unsafe-landing confirm.
  • Bans: /ban, /tempban, /ipban, /tempipban, /unban, /unbanip, /banlist, /checkban; per-rank tempban caps; network-wide, and the proxy kicks the player wherever they are.
  • Commands on events: sixteen player events run configurable command lists as console or as the player.
  • Elevator blocks, sleep vote with boss bar, health bar for what you hit, shulker backpacks, command spy, inventory snapshots with auto-save on death.
  • Cosmetics: every chat perk and tag can be unlocked by permission or bought with in-game money (price:); /cosmetics wardrobe; purchases shared across a network.
  • Claims announce entering and leaving and light their corners on entry.
  • Every feature section has an enabled: switch; off removes its commands.
  • A second jar for Paper, Purpur and Folia 1.21.1 - 1.21.x on Java 21.
  • Bedrock: every chat line goes through one layer that turns clickable text into typeable text; windows fall back to plain headings.
  • Folia: sidebar and rank-sorted tab list degrade cleanly (Folia has no scoreboards); everything else runs.
  • Fixed: cross-server chat payload was shifted by one field and its text rejected on arrival, so it had never delivered a line; Floodgate's "no" was trusted over an obviously Bedrock UUID; /msg output was hardcoded and so untranslated; a home on another server was silently dropped on load.
