IMPORTANT
As of Minecraft 1.21, Java 21 is required for Paper to run. However, plugins can still be developed using Java 17, so Honeypot will still be built on that version to support older server software (I always develop for the latest version though, so I'd highly suggest using 1.21 with 3.3.2!).

However, with this version also comes an announcement: Honeypot, as of all future versions (3.3.3+), will no longer support Spigot. Paper is, by far, the most widely used and performant server platform. It's no surprise that it's so widely used either: Paper provides users download links, Spigot requires you to build from source which requires quite a bit of technical know-how. That alone will cause people to gravitate towards it, even if they don't realize that Paper is vastly more performant. Even though I support Spigot and develop against it, I've actually been exclusively using Paper to test when I create updates. Paper is making a hard fork at some point in the future, meaning they will be diverging from the Spigot API, and then I'd have to maintain two versions of the plugin, each with potentially differing feature sets depending on the API availability. Folia is supported currently, but the difference between Folia and Paper is very minute (For the technical people, all I had to do was write a custom Scheduler implementation that utilizes Folia's scheduler instead if the plugin detects it is running on it, otherwise it uses the default Spigot/Paper one). According to bstats, as of typing this only one server is utilizing Spigot anyway.

For these reasons, I will be killing support for Spigot and moving fully over to the Paper APIs. If you want to use Honeypot and you are using Spigot, you will need to migrate to Paper. For 99% of users this will be a simple drag-n-drop of the Paper jar in-place of your Spigot jar, no other changes should be necessary. The regular changelog is below!

Honeypot 3.3.2
Version 3.3.2 brings the plugin out of its SNAPSHOT state since testing of the 3.3.1 feature set is complete. It also adds support for Discord webhooks so you can be proactively notified if any Honeypots are triggered while you aren't online.

Core
Additions:

• Added Discord Webhook support. Simply enable the new discord setting in config.yml, paste your Discord Webhook URL, and state whether or not you want notifications for all block breaks (onbreak) or just when action is taken (action).
  • Do note, this is using OkHttp3 from Square, and during testing I noticed that it was taking nearly 1 second for these requests to be made and would "freeze" the server until the request was sent. Due to this, I've designed Honeypot to create a separate thread each time a notification needs to be sent to prevent blocking the main server thread. If, however, you notice lag, please let me know and provide me with a Spark profiler export so I can check. Please be sure to do /spark profiler start --thread * so I can see everything happening, not just the single server thread.
