• Fabric Loader: >=0.18.4
• Java: >=25
• Required dependency: fabric-api >=0.144.0+26.1

Recommended combinations:

• 26.1: Loader 0.18.4+ + Fabric API 0.144.0+26.1 or a newer compatible build
• 26.1.1: Loader 0.18.6+ + Fabric API 0.145.2+26.1.1 or a newer compatible build
• 26.1.2: Loader 0.19.1+ + Fabric API 0.145.4+26.1.2 or a newer compatible build

🆕 What's New in v1.2.3

• Added support for Minecraft 26.1.2 while keeping compatibility with 26.1 and 26.1.1
• Better support for MCDReforged servers:
  • Added a new mcdr-compatibility config section
  • When enabled, MeowConsole tries to preserve the vanilla-style console output that external tools expect
  • This makes it friendlier to setups that rely on console-log parsing
• Better compatibility with backup tools such as PrimeBackup:
  • Important save-completion messages such as Saved the game are now preserved more carefully
  • Common player join/leave log patterns are also less likely to be broken
  • This reduces the chance of “better console UI, but broken backup workflow”
• Better command input experience:
  • Command highlighting now follows Brigadier parsing more closely
  • Tab completion for vanilla commands keeps more of the original tooltip/help text
  • Second-level completions for MeowConsole local commands now include clearer descriptions

✨ What You Will Notice

• If you use MCDReforged:
  • MeowConsole is less likely to conflict with tools that parse server console output
  • Backup-related and log-driven workflows should behave more reliably
• If you type commands directly into the server console:
  • It is easier to see the difference between command literals and arguments
  • Completion suggestions are easier to understand at a glance

🧪 Important Notes (For MCDR Users)

If your server uses MCDReforged, PrimeBackup, or similar console-parsing tools:

• It is recommended to explicitly enable:
  • mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true
• The current version includes auto-detection logic, but explicitly enabling the compatibility mode is more reliable
• If your server also uses settings such as pause-when-empty-seconds, that vanilla pause behavior can still affect unattended backup workflows

🔄 Upgrade Notes

When upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3, please keep the following in mind:

• If you use MCDReforged, check whether config/meowconsole-features.yml now contains the new mcdr-compatibility section
• For the most reliable behavior with tools like PrimeBackup, it is recommended to set:
  • mcdr-compatibility.enabled: true
• If you do not use MCDReforged, in most cases this remains a direct replacement upgrade

🌙 What's New in v1.2.2

• Multiplayer sleep acceleration has been enhanced further:
  • It now supports a more CMI-like timelapse-style night fast-forward experience
  • Nights no longer feel limited to a single abrupt skip and can now pass by in a visibly smoother way
• Sleep acceleration now supports ignoring Carpet fake players:
  • Added new config option ignore-carpet-fake-players
  • When enabled, fake players created by fabric-carpet are ignored
  • Sleep calculations now count only real online players, so fake players no longer affect the sleep ratio
• Sleep acceleration sync behavior on 26.1 has been improved further:
  • Fixed cases where server time was advancing but the client-side effect was not obvious enough
  • Non-sleeping players can now see the accelerated day/night transition more clearly
• Sleep acceleration implementation and configuration experience have also been refined:
  • Config semantics are now more consistent
  • Default recommended values are closer to real multiplayer server usage

🛠️ Problems Panel Fixes & Code Cleanup

• Fixed several Java null-safety warnings shown in the IDE problems panel:
  • SleepAccelerationService.java
  • FakeOrePacketBitStorageTest.java
• Cleaned up some related code paths to reduce noisy warnings and improve long-term maintainability
• Applied a lightweight optimization to Carpet fake-player detection in sleep acceleration:
  • Uses runtime reflection
  • Avoids adding a hard compile-time dependency on Carpet
  • Balances compatibility and runtime overhead

⚡ Performance & Stability Notes

• The sleep acceleration code path received a lightweight cleanup pass:
  • Improved the handling chain for night fast-forwarding and client-side time sync
  • Reduced null-safety warning noise during debugging and maintenance
  • Kept the feature improvements lightweight without introducing unnecessary extra dependencies or runtime burden

🧪 Important Notes (Test Features)

player messages, and flightguard are still considered test features at the moment:

• It is recommended to validate them on a test server first
• Please test them against your actual plugin/mod setup before enabling them on production
• If you use fabric-carpet, check whether ignore-carpet-fake-players should be enabled for your server

🔄 Upgrade Notes

When upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2, please keep the following in mind:

• If you already use sleep acceleration, reload or restart the server and verify the new night fast-forward feel after upgrading
• It is recommended to delete config/meowconsole-features.yml and let the mod regenerate a fresh copy:
  • In older versions, sleep acceleration was disabled by default
  • Regenerating the file ensures that you get the new v1.2.2 config entries and updated default comments
• If your server uses Carpet fake players, review whether ignore-carpet-fake-players should be enabled
• This is a low-risk maintenance and enhancement update, so in most cases it can be upgraded by direct replacement

Compatibility Note: Ghosting/Free-cam Seeing Fake Ores is NOT a Bug

If players see "fake ores" while using "Free-cam" or "Spectator-like" mods/abilities, this is generally not a bug.

Reason: These "Soul/Free-cam" forms typically do not send valid movement or interaction packets to the server like a normal player entity. Consequently, the server does not trigger the standard chunk visibility refresh or "de-obfuscation" workflow. The Anti-Xray system continues to return obfuscated results according to its rules.

Simplified Explanation:

• Normal Player Behavior: Triggers server updates -> Fake ores are de-obfuscated (revealed) as per mechanism.
• Free-cam Perspective: Often fails to trigger server updates -> Obfuscated results remain visible.

Paper Anti-Xray Porting Progress

As of 2026-04-02, the current development status is as follows:

• Engine 2 Core Behavior Alignment: ~98%
• Paper Anti-Xray Full Source/Config System Alignment: ~98%
• Complex Cave Environment Loop Readiness: ~97%

Key Completed Capabilities:

• Full interception of the initial packet rewrite chain (including chunk send entry/exit).
• Implementation of hidden/replacement dual-pass and major visibility propagation.
• Semantic alignment for core configs: lava-obscures, use-permission, update-radius, and max-block-height.
• engine-mode: 3 (layer-based) semantics are now operational.
• Integration of Bit-storage direct writing and packet-local palette re-encoding.
• Asynchronous initial packet rewriting: "Main Thread Snapshot + Worker Thread Rewrite + Main Thread Send" with synchronous fallback on failure.

Ongoing Refinements:

• Minor implementation differences compared to the original Paper codebase.
• Potential discrepancies in high-pressure complex cave scenarios; these will be refined in future updates.

MeowConsole v1.1.3 Changelog

• Version: 1.1.3
• Type: Configuration Logic & Bug Fix

What's New

• Fixed Configuration Overwrite: Resolved an issue where meowconsole-paper.yml was being reset to default values after an antixray reload or server restart.
• Improved Migration Strategy: The configuration update logic now uses an "Incremental Completion" strategy. It will only fill in missing keys and will no longer overwrite existing values, comments, or the entire file structure.
• Dimension Parsing Fix: Fixed dimension-level parsing and NamespaceKey identification within dimension-settings. Missing fields in existing dimension blocks are now correctly patched without affecting other data.
• Enhanced Command Output: Optimized the configuration summary for antixray reload and antixray status. It now explicitly displays the actual max-block-height in effect for each dimension, preventing global defaults from being misreported as real-time values.
• Version Bump: Updated internal versioning from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3.
• User-Agent Update: Updated the Modrinth API User-Agent identifier to reflect version 1.1.3.

Configuration Behavior Changes

• Initial Setup: A full default configuration will still be generated on the first boot.
• Incremental Updates: During subsequent loads or reloads, the plugin will only append missing keys.
• Value Preservation: Existing keys will retain their current values and will not be reverted to defaults.
• Scoped Dimension Patching: Existing dimension configuration blocks will only be patched for their own missing items, preventing the accidental generation of undeclared dimension blocks.
