DiscordNotify

v1.1.9

Added

• Automatic message toggles

  • New messages.start.enabled and messages.stop.enabled config options
  • Allows disabling server start and/or stop messages entirely

• Per-command role mention control

  • New config toggles for each command:
    • commands.msg.mentionRole
    • commands.restart.mentionRole
    • commands.test.mentionRole
  • Test messages do not role ping by default

• Message preview commands

  • New /discordnotify preview commands to show exactly what would be sent to Discord
  • Supported previews:
    • preview msg <message>
    • preview restart <time> [extra text]
    • preview test
    • preview start
    • preview stop
  • Previews respect prefix, role mentions, and auto-delete settings
  • No webhook is sent and nothing is tracked

• Expanded debug logging

  • New debug.logSends option for detailed webhook send/delete logs
  • Helpful for troubleshooting webhook and auto-delete behavior

Improved

• Shutdown message reliability

  • Stop messages are now sent synchronously when needed to ensure message IDs are captured before shutdown
  • Improves consistency with auto-delete and tracking systems

• Cross-platform compatibility

  • Internal scheduling logic updated to remain compatible with Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Bukkit, and Folia-style threading models
  • No blocking operations added to the main server thread

Notes

• All new features are disabled by default to preserve existing behavior
• Config files automatically merge new options without overwriting user values
• Fully webhook-only and async (no Discord bot, no gateway connection)

v1.1.8

Added

• Optional message prefix
  • New prefix.enabled and prefix.text config options
  • When enabled, the prefix is added to every message DiscordNotify sends (start/stop + all commands)

Fixed

• Stop message not being tracked for auto-delete
  • The server stop notification now properly logs its message ID to sent-messages.txt when tracking is enabled
  • This allows the stop message to be deleted by:
    • Keep Last N
    • Delete after X seconds
    • /discordnotify deleteall (or /dn deleteall)

Notes

• Auto-delete features remain disabled by default
• Webhook-only, async-only (no Discord bot, no gateway)

v1.1.7

Added

• /dn alias for /discordnotify
• New command: /discordnotify deleteall
  • Deletes all messages previously sent by DiscordNotify
  • Uses webhooks only (no bot)
  • Fully async, no server lag

Changed

• Message IDs are now tracked whenever autoDelete.enabled is true
  • /deleteall works even if:
    • keepLast is set to 0
    • timed delete is disabled
• Auto-delete tracking logic cleaned up and made more predictable

Notes

• To use /deleteall, autoDelete.enabled must be set to true
• Works on Paper, Purpur, Bukkit, and Spigot
• Folia may work but is untested and unsupported.

v1.1.6

Added

• Time-based auto-delete: optionally delete each message DiscordNotify sends after a configurable delay.
• New config section: autoDelete.deleteAfterSeconds
  • enabled: toggle timed auto-delete
  • seconds: how long to wait before deleting each message
  • maxScheduled: safety cap for scheduled deletions
  • persist: keeps pending deletions across restarts (optional)

Changed

• DiscordNotify now uses ?wait=true only when needed (Keep Last N and/or timed auto-delete enabled), to fetch message IDs for deletion.

Notes

• Still webhook-only (no Discord bot / gateway connection).
• All sends and deletes are async-only (no TPS impact).
• Timed auto-delete can be used alone or together with Keep Last N messages.
• autoDelete.enabled remains the master switch to disable all auto-delete features instantly.

v1.1.5

Added

• Optional webhook auto-delete (Keep Last N messages)
• New autoDelete configuration section to control message cleanup behavior
• Support for automatically deleting older DiscordNotify messages sent via the webhook
• Optional persistence of sent message IDs to continue cleanup after server restarts
• Debug mode for the update checker to assist with troubleshooting and testing
• Optional forced update version for testing update notifications without contacting Modrinth

Changed

• Update checker reliability improvements:
  • Robust version comparison that scans all available Modrinth versions
  • No longer relies on API ordering to determine the latest release
• Update notifications now use clear visual separators in the console for better visibility
• Webhook messages use ?wait=true only when auto-delete is enabled (required to retrieve message IDs)
• Improved internal webhook handling for safer message deletion
• Configuration auto-merge continues to add new options without overwriting existing values

Notes

• Auto-delete is fully optional and disabled by default
• Update checks remain console-only and silent if up to date
• Debug output is disabled by default and intended for troubleshooting only
• Uses Discord webhooks only (no bot, no gateway connection)
• Runs asynchronously with no TPS impact
• Only messages sent by DiscordNotify are affected
• No new commands or permissions were added

v1.1.3

Added

• Optional Discord role mention support (disabled by default)
• Support for combined restart time formats (e.g. 1h30m, 2h15m10s)

Changed

• Restart time formatting now displays clean, human-readable durations
• Configuration handling now automatically adds new options without overwriting existing values
• Updated configuration comments to document new restart time formats

Notes

• Existing configuration values (including webhook URLs) are preserved on update
• Role mentions require the role to be mentionable in Discord
• No impact on server performance; all webhook requests remain asynchronous

v1.1.2

Changed

• Updated configuration comments and documentation to reflect new command structure
• Minor internal cleanup and wording improvements

Notes

• No functional changes to commands or configuration behavior.

v1.1.1

Added

• New /discordnotify msg <message> subcommand for sending custom Discord messages
• New /discordnotify restart <time> subcommand with formatted restart countdowns
• New /discordnotify reload subcommand to reload the config without restarting the server
• Tab completion for /discordnotify subcommands and restart time arguments

Changed

• Command structure updated to use explicit subcommands instead of raw arguments
• Commands now correctly report when the webhook is not configured instead of pretending to send

Fixed

• Prevented crashes when the Discord webhook URL is missing or invalid
