Update v1.0.1 – Enhanced Plugin Management via GUI
Overview
We’re excited to release version 1.0.1 of PlugControl, introducing a robust, user-friendly GUI and powerful new management features to streamline plugin control on your server.

New Features

• Graphical Plugin Management
  Control your server’s plugins through an intuitive GUI—view statuses, enable, disable, or reload plugins with simple clicks rather than typing commands.
  
  
• Pagination Support
  Navigate large sets of plugins easily with page navigation when there are more than 45 entries.
  
  
• Search Filter
  Quickly locate specific plugins using /pc search <query>, which filters the GUI lists in real time.
  
  
• Favorites System
  Mark frequently used plugins as “favorites”. Access them instantly via the “Favorites” tab in the GUI.
  
  
• Bulk Actions
  Perform actions across multiple plugins with ease:
  
  • Reload all reloadable plugins
    
    
  • Disable all non-critical plugins
    
    
  • Enable all allowed plugins
    Available via dedicated “Bulk Actions” button (with permission gating).
    

Safety and Permissions

• Blacklist & Critical Lists
  Define “blacklisted” plugins that cannot be toggled by users without bypass permission, and “critical” plugins that prompt a confirmation before toggling or reloading.
  
  
• Confirmation Dialogs
  For critical plugins, the GUI prompts an extra confirmation step to prevent accidental disabling or reloading.
  
  
• Permission Controls
  Fine-grained permissions allow server admins to specify who may use the GUI, toggle plugins, reload, bypass blacklists, or perform bulk actions.
  

Configuration & Logging

• Customize the behavior of blacklist and critical plugin lists via the config.yml.
  
  
• Enable action logging to record which player toggled, reloaded, or otherwise manipulated plugins—saved to actions.log within the plugin’s data folder.
  

Other Improvements

• NBT-based Action Tracking
  GUI items now use reliable NBT/PersistentData keys instead of parsing item names—more robust and maintainable.
  
  
• Cleaner Code Structure
  The update refactors core logic into dedicated services and managers (e.g., PluginService, ConfigManager, FavoritesStore, ActionLogger) for easier future development and maintenance.
  
  
• Minecraft 1.21+ Compatibility
  Fully compatible with Minecraft 1.21.x.
