Changelog

1.5.0 — 2026-10-16

Added

• Support for Minecraft Paper 26.3, built against Paper API 26.3 build 184.
• Barrel and copper chest support for storage networks.
• SQLite storage with automatic migration from YAML and legacy SQLite data, schema upgrades, and verified rolling backups.
• Hopper interaction with terminals and comparator output based on network capacity.
• Time-limited player trust, editable network descriptions, and network deletion with confirmation.
• In-game configuration editor and administrative network inspection, rescan, storage diagnostics, and update-check commands.
• PlaceholderAPI integration and a public service API for other plugins.
• French and Spanish translations, plus support for custom language files.
• Item search by enchantment name and level, a configurable default sort order, and saved per-player sort preferences.

Changed

• Unified commands and help under /ns. /storage, /network, and /networkstorage, together with their existing aliases, now use the same command surface.
• Grouped administrative commands under /ns admin <command>. Use /ns admin list to list all networks and /ns admin info <network> for administrative network details; /ns list and /ns info show player information.
• Replaced immediate bulk deposits with an inventory preview and separate confirm/cancel buttons inside the terminal. Confirmation expires after 15 seconds and must be renewed if eligible inventory contents change.
• Bulk deposits now include only the 27 main inventory slots. Hotbar, armor, offhand, storage wands, and wireless terminals are excluded. Items that do not fit remain in the player's inventory.
• Protected storage wands and wireless terminals from individual player deposits as well as bulk deposits.
• Improved large-network scanning with incremental scans and batched persistence. Terminal and comparator output use complete scan results; incomplete scans report unavailable containers instead of presenting partial totals as authoritative.
• Wireless terminals configured to break at zero uses now remain available through the final terminal session and break when that session ends.

Fixed

• Fixed startup failing when a database upgrade left a valid historical import schema version in migration metadata.
• Fixed migration digest verification rejecting permanent trusted players with no expiry.
• Fixed imports failing when registered containers reference worlds that are not currently loaded. Registrations are preserved and resolve when their worlds become available.
• Fixed stale player selections blocking migration. References to deleted networks are cleared with warnings while valid selections are preserved.
• Preserved existing networks whose names differ only by capitalization, such as Main and main. Exact-name lookups distinguish them; ambiguous case-insensitive lookups fail safely. New case-insensitive name collisions remain blocked.
• Fixed newly created networks not becoming the player's active network.
• Fixed wireless terminal interactions accidentally placing items from the other hand and improved handling of cancelled interactions.
• Improved terminal search and stats transitions, scan invalidation, save ordering, and cleanup during reload or shutdown.
• Improved update-check concurrency, version comparison, and lifecycle handling.

Upgrade notes

• Stop the server and back up the complete plugins/NetworkStorage folder before upgrading. Replace the old plugin JAR with NetworkStorage-1.5.0.jar, then start the server.
• Existing YAML and legacy SQLite data are migrated automatically. Source backups are retained; no manual SQL changes are required for the migration fixes in this release.
• If migration fails, the plugin stays disabled and preserves recovery data. Inspect the error and any migration.lock before retrying; do not delete the lock blindly.
• Keep the plugin's SQLite database and backups on local storage rather than an NFS or SMB share.
• If a wireless terminal was deposited with an earlier build, use a physical terminal or obtain a replacement with /ns wireless to retrieve the stored items. Issuing a replacement requires permission.
• Existing tools created before metadata verification was introduced may need to be reissued with /ns wand or /ns wireless.
• This release targets Paper 26.3. Compatibility with older Minecraft versions has not been verified.

Validation

• All 153 automated tests pass on Java 25, including migration and upgrade coverage for SQLite schemas 1–4, restart persistence, command routing, protected deposits, and partial/full storage behavior.
• The packaged SQLite driver smoke check passes.
