✨ ConquestDuels v2.0.0 — Async Regen, Crash Recovery, and Performance Overhaul
Biggest update yet! This version rewrites how arenas are loaded, regenerated, and saved — now fully async, crash-safe, and ready for massive scale.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Core Changes
• Asynchronous Arena Regeneration
Arena regen and snapshot checks are now fully async, batched one arena every 0.5s, and start 10 seconds after boot.
→ No more TPS drops during startup or reloads.
• Smart Snapshot Lifecycle
Snapshots are:
- Only captured if enabled + regen-enabled
- Auto-expire from memory after 30 minutes
- Loaded from disk only if not already cached
• Compressed Binary Snapshot Storage
Each arena uses its own compressed `.bin.gz` file — drastically reduces file size and speeds up read/write.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ Admin & Developer Enhancements
• Arena File Refactor
Arenas now save in clean subfolders:
• /dueladmin reload is instant
No more re-checking snapshots or triggering slow regen during reload. It's now near-instant.
• Crash Recovery & Protection
If the server shuts down mid-duel:
- Arena snapshot restores from disk
- Regen continues after boot
- No arena corruption or weird states
• Safe mkdirs(), async I/O, and write validation
No more silent failures. All file operations are validated and fail-safe.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Migration & Compatibility
• Legacy arenas will auto-migrate to new folder format
• No config changes required
• Existing snapshots remain valid
• Fully compatible with 1.20.4+ and Java 17+
