🌙 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
