2.1.1

This is a maintenance release for servers running v2.1.0, and nothing changes in how the plugin behaves. Economy features, commands, permissions, configuration and stored data all work exactly as before. Usage reporting works the same way, and its on/off switches are unchanged. The only change you might notice is that the usage-reporting details link now points to a new page.

Changes

Usage reporting

• Updated the bundled usage-reporting client to 0.6.1. The plugin still identifies the server with the existing server-id in plugins/trace/config.yml, and what it reports is unchanged.
• The usage-reporting details link in the startup message now points to https://danielstephenson.dev/usage-reporting. The same link is used in the comments of newly generated config.yml and plugins/trace/config.yml files. Existing files are not modified.

Version

v2.1.0 → 2.1.1 — PATCH. Mechanical floor from comparing the two jars: PATCH. Judgment: The only code change updates the bundled trace usage-reporting client from 0.5.0 to 0.6.1. It adds an optional installIdFile builder method and a static installIdFromFile helper, but the plugin calls neither, so install-ID resolution, the data written to plugins/trace/config.yml and the reporting behaviour are all unchanged. The other changes are the usage-reporting details link in the startup log message, the config.yml comment and the server-wide switch file template. No command, permission, config key meaning or data format changes, so the patch floor stands.

• no interface or storage difference observed between the jars

2.1.0

For a server running v2.0.0, this release adds support for Minecraft 26.3 and changes usage reporting. If reporting is on, each usage event now carries a random server ID, so the trace server can count servers instead of raw events. The first time the plugin starts with reporting on, it creates this ID and adds it to plugins/trace/config.yml as a server-id: line, with a comment explaining it. The ID is a random UUID. It is not linked to any player, account or IP address, and nothing about players is sent. If reporting is turned off, no ID is created or written. Economy features, commands, permissions and stored data are unchanged.

Changes

Compatibility

• Added support for Minecraft 26.3 (#148).

Usage reporting

• Each usage event now includes a random server ID as the install tag. The ID is created on first run and stored as server-id: in plugins/trace/config.yml. If the file can't be written, the ID is kept in memory until the server stops (#145).
• The comments in config.yml and the startup log message now mention the random server ID (#147).

Upgrade notes

• You don't have to do anything. If you don't want the server ID sent, turn reporting off with usage-reporting.enabled: false in this plugin's config.yml, or for every plugin that reports to trace with enabled: false in plugins/trace/config.yml. When reporting is off, no ID is created.
• To get a new random ID, delete the server-id: line from plugins/trace/config.yml. A new one is made on the next start.

Version

v2.0.0 → 2.1.0 — MINOR. Mechanical floor from comparing the two jars: PATCH. Judgment: The mechanical floor only sees two new public methods on the vendored TraceClient. The bigger change is behavioural: when usage reporting is on, the plugin now creates a random server ID, appends it as a server-id: line to plugins/trace/config.yml, and sends it with every usage event. That is new data written to disk and new data sent off the server, so it counts as new behaviour and is minor. It is not major because no existing config key, command, permission or data format changes meaning, and turning reporting off still works the same way. Support for Minecraft 26.3 is also new.

2.0.0

This is a major release for servers on 1.2.0. The plugin now declares its permissions, so on a server without a permissions plugin, ordinary players can use /balance, /deposit and /withdraw. Before, only ops could. The plugin also starts sending anonymous usage reports by default. You can turn this off in the plugin's config.yml, server-wide, or with an environment variable. Existing coinpurse data and config values are kept, and any new config keys are added to your config.yml automatically when the server starts.

Changes

Permissions and commands

• Declared every command and permission node in plugin.yml. medievaleconomy.default, .balance, .deposit and .withdraw are now granted to all players. medievaleconomy.createcurrency, .reload and .admin stay op-only, and .admin grants all of them (#116)
• /econ help now lists every command the sender is allowed to run, including /balance, /deposit, /withdraw and /econ reload (#140)

Amounts

• /deposit, /withdraw and /econ createcurrency now share one way of checking the amount. Zero and negative amounts are rejected with the "must be positive" message. Non-numeric or very large amounts now show a usage message instead of an error, and /econ createcurrency has new configurable usage and positive-amount messages (#118)

Coinpurses

• A coinpurse record that cannot be read, or whose legacy player name no longer resolves to a UUID, is now skipped at load. Before, it caused lookup errors and could stop balances from being saved on shutdown (#121)
• Depositing, withdrawing or dying no longer fails for a player without a coinpurse; an empty one is created for them (#121)
• /balance now answers a player without a coinpurse with a configurable message (balanceNoCoinpurse) instead of saying nothing (#125)

Configuration

• Config defaults are now registered every time the plugin is enabled. A key missing from your config.yml now uses its default instead of reading as null, and missing keys are added to the file. Values you have set are not overwritten (#130)
• On a version change, the config version is now updated, so the mismatch is handled once and not on every startup. Your existing values are kept (#134)

Usage reporting

• The plugin now sends a small event when it starts and each time one of its commands is used. The event contains the plugin name, the event name (with the command name) and the plugin version, and goes to https://trace.danielstephenson.dev. Nothing about players or the server is sent. Sending happens off the main thread and never blocks a tick, and the startup log says whether reporting is on (#127, #129, #139)
• A server-wide switch is created at plugins/trace/config.yml. It can turn reporting off for every plugin that reports to trace, and can add tags to their events, for example to mark a test server (#138)

Upgrade notes

• Check permissions: If you relied on non-op players not being able to use /balance, /deposit or /withdraw, negate medievaleconomy.default (or the individual nodes) in your permissions plugin before upgrading.
• Usage reporting is on by default. To turn it off, use any one of these:
  • Set usage-reporting.enabled: false in plugins/MedievalEconomy/config.yml.
  • Set enabled: false in plugins/trace/config.yml.
  • Set the environment variable TRACE_USAGE_REPORTING=off or DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
• If the server logs show a coinpurse that could not be loaded, it will be dropped from the saved data on the next shutdown. Back up plugins/MedievalEconomy (coinpurses are in its Coinpurse-Records folder) before upgrading if you want to recover it by hand.

Version

1.2.0 → 2.0.0 — MAJOR. Mechanical floor from comparing the two jars: MINOR. Judgment: The floor is minor, and I raised it to major because the default effect of some permissions changes. In 1.2.0, plugin.yml declared none of the permission nodes, so Bukkit treated them as op-only. #116 now gives medievaleconomy.balance, .deposit, .withdraw and .default to every player by default, so on an existing server without a permissions plugin, players who are not ops gain /balance, /deposit and /withdraw. The release also adds new behaviour: usage reporting that is on by default and makes outbound requests (#127), stricter amount validation that now rejects 0 (#118), and dropping coinpurse records that have no readable UUID at load (#121). The diff for VersionMismatchTest.java was truncated and is unknown. It is a test-only file, so it should not change runtime behaviour, but its content was not reviewed.

Snapshot release marking Medieval-Economy's move to an AI-first development approach.

Day-to-day feature work, grooming, review and maintenance now run through AI agents working directly against this repository, with the maintainers setting direction and approving what lands. The version bump marks that change in how the project is built — it is not a compatibility break. Behaviour, configuration and stored data are unchanged, and existing installations can upgrade in place.

This is a dated snapshot, not a finished release. It follows the precedent set by Medieval Factions' 6.0.0-SNAPSHOT-7-25-2026: the AI-first line has not yet been verified in live operation, and the snapshot designation stays until it has.

Version changes

• pom.xml: 1.2.0 → 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-8-8-2026
