[1.0.5] – 2025-11-18
Added

• Multi-language support.
  • Language files moved to src/main/resources/lang/<code>.yml
  • Added placeholder language files: en, es, fr, de, pt, it
  • Commands and system notifications are now fully translatable via lang/*.yml
• New /sgchat subcommands:
  • /sgchat langs — Lists all available languages from plugins/SGChat/lang/
  • /sgchat validate-langs — Validates missing keys across all language files

Changed

• Messages now automatically apply the language prefix when retrieved by the message manager
• Update checker notifications (console and player) are now translatable and support color formatting

Fixed

• Translation files now correctly load from plugins/SGChat/lang/

Changelog
[1.0.4] – 2025-11-15
Added

• Discord Webhook Integration
  • Optional webhook support for sending server events to a Discord channel.
  • Configurable webhook username and avatar.
• Chat Relay to Discord
  • Optional feature: send player chat messages to the configured webhook (discord.send-chat).

    (supports {player}, {displayname}, {message}, {server})

Changed

• Improved embed generation for Discord join/quit notifications.
  • Embeds are now automatically used when discord.use-embeds is enabled.

Fixed

• Avatar fetch issues in Discord embeds resolved:
  • Crafatar UUIDs are now processed without hyphens and fetched directly as PNG.
  • Added validation and fallback logic to prevent broken avatar images.

Removed

• Player avatar is no longer included by default in join/quit embeds.
  (Prevents broken or placeholder images with certain UUID formats.)

Config Changes
Added to config.yml under the discord: section:

# Chat relay: send player chat messages to the Discord webhook
send-chat: false

# Template for chat messages sent to Discord
# Placeholders: {player}, {displayname}, {message}, {server}

Notes / Upgrade Instructions

• After updating, set your discord.webhook-url and enable integration with:
  discord:
  enable: true
