This update adds full compatibility with Paper 26.2 while keeping support for older versions down to 1.18.x. Several bugs have been fixed based on live testing.

✨ What's Changed

🖥️ Paper 26.2 Support

• Updated api-version to 1.18, supporting 1.18.x through 26.2
• Requires Java 25+ when running on Paper 26.2
• Fixed scheduler usage — reverted from GlobalRegionScheduler (Folia-only) to Bukkit.getScheduler() for universal compatibility

🔒 Whitelist Bypass Permission

• Fixed mwl.whitelist.bypass not being respected when assigned via permission plugins (e.g. LuckPerms)
• bypass.permission.enabled is now true by default in config.yml
• Login check now runs at EventPriority.HIGH so permission plugins have already loaded player data

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed /mwl toggle — can now be used without arguments to auto-toggle the whitelist on/off
• Fixed /mwl help — now works as a proper subcommand (also shown when running /mwl with no arguments)
• Fixed /mwl settemp — feedback message was not sent to the command sender after setting a temporary whitelist entry

📥 Installation

Download mWL-2.3.0.jar and place it in your plugins folder.

Paper 26.2 users: Requires Java 25+. Compatible with 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2

🔄 Upgrading from v2.2.x

• Drop-in update — stop server, replace JAR, start server
• Check your config.yml: bypass.permission.enabled is now true by default. If you do not use a permission plugin for bypass, set it to false
• No database migration required
