Modrinth Update Details

changes from versions 2.0 through 5.13 are listed here.

Versions 2.x Through 4.3

• Grew from the original death-sound and immortality plugin into a broader SMP plugin.
• Added the systems that were fully present by 4.4, including nickname and skin tools, GUI controls, admin toggles, and more server management features.
• Expanded the command set around immortality, punishments, moderation, and utility features.

Version 4.4

• Brought together the older UnstableSMP feature set around immortality, death ban, nicknames, and custom skins.
• Added fast regen, anti armor break, record mode, server freeze, optimization settings, randomizer support, and keep-inventory options.
• Exposed the /unstablesmp GUI with subcommands for nick, skin, resetnick, resetskin, immortality, fastregen, antiarmor, recordmode, freeze, deathbanbypass, and reload.
• Improved nickname-based player lookup and older command or tab-completion support around that nickname system.

Versions 5.0 Through 5.9

• Started the larger merge and modernization work that shaped the current UnstableSMPDeathSound plugin.
• Added requested SMP features such as fishing rod systems, orbital strikes, and mafia tags alongside the existing death and proximity features.
• Added more in-game control over feature toggles, including changing the death sound from commands or GUI paths.
• Improved compatibility across Paper, Folia, and Purpur.
• Expanded random nickname and random skin workflows and continued improving name and skin handling.

Version 5.11

• Fixed Fast Regen so enabling it from commands or GUI paths also turns on the main config flag.
• Fixed Anti Armor Break so enabling it from commands or GUI paths also turns on the main config flag.
• Stabilized the Paper-side toggle behavior after the broader 5.10 regression report.

Version 5.12

• Reworked the nickname and skin system.
• Updated direct nickname and skin commands, plus random nickname and random skin flows.
• Reworked visible-name handling so chat and in-game presentation follow the new identity model.

Version 5.13

• Added nickname-aware command rewriting at the correct listener priority.
• Added nickname-aware tab completion for command completions.
• Aligned join, quit, and death messages more closely with the nickname system.
• Fixed direct nickname and skin command flow so it matches the new backend instead of the older path.
• Kept the Fast Regen and Anti Armor Break toggle fixes stable through the 5.11 to 5.13 line.
