VoidChest — 6.0.0-beta.7 (Merged Release Notes)
Hey everyone!
We’re rolling out a merged beta update (beta.5 to beta.7) packed with improvements, bug fixes, and new features. This update continues our focus on performance, command improvements, and storage logic — plus better compatibility with data systems and plugin APIs.

⚠️ This is a beta build — bugs may still occur. Please read the warning section before updating!

⚠️ Beta Warning & Upgrade Advice

This version is still considered BETA. It has been tested internally, but real-world use may reveal edge cases.

Backup Before Updating

• Please back up your entire Minecraft server before applying this update.
• It is strongly recommended to test on a separate environment before live deployment.

1. Try out the updated commands and player data handling.
2. Test faction-related setups, purge tasks, and chest behaviors.
3. Once verified, migrate stable configs to production.

❗ Note for 5.x or older users

• Versions below 5.x are not compatible with this release.
• Please use a clean setup or carefully migrate existing playerdata and voiddata folders.

❗ Note for Addon Developers
The new command API and internal maps have changed. Be sure to update your integrations to remain compatible.

✨ New Features

✅ Brigadier Command Support
Full support for Minecraft’s Brigadier system — enabling better autocomplete and command feedback.

✅ Improved Faction Bank TNT Handling
VoidChest now includes TNT limit checks for faction banks — improving fair play and automation scenarios.

✅ Safer Player Data Threading
Improved thread safety in player data operations for more robust multi-threaded performance.

✅ Enhanced Purge Task System
More reliable cleanup routines with better logging and smarter logic.

⚙️ Performance Improvements

Faster File Loading with Nanosecond Precision
Refined internal timers and precision for better file performance.

Debug Code Removed from Storage Systems
Cleaned up debug output from player data and booster methods for cleaner logs and faster runtime.

Concurrent Data Structures
Swapped `HashObjectMap` with a thread-safe ConcurrentObjectMap in CustomData — enhancing stability under load.

Bug Fixes & Adjustments

Config Toggles Restored
Brigadier and general command config toggles have been re-added for better flexibility.

Permission Fixes
Corrected `voidchest.limit.<type>.<max>` to behave as expected.

Amount Validation in Commands
`/voidchest give` now properly validates item amount to avoid user errors.

Placement Restrictions Enhanced
VoidChests now prevent chest placement in all directions around them — improving anti-abuse protections.

Accurate Missing File Logging
Improved clarity in logs when voidchest data files are missing — reducing confusion during debugging.

Developer Notes
The command API and task system continue to evolve — addon developers should review Brigadier integration and updated concurrency changes in CustomData. Storage operations now run cleaner and faster across threads.
