SIR

Hotfix update focused on lookup consistency, migration logging, and package cleanup.

Changed

• Removed bundled wiki docs from the packaged build to keep the project cleaner and lighter.

Fixed

• Fixed command and user lookups by normalizing resolution logic.
• Fixed legacy migration logging so only successful migrations are reported.
• Fixed the module editor unavailable message for clearer feedback.

Massive modernization update that rebuilds SIR from the Legacy 1.7.0 branch into the new 2.0.0 modular architecture.

Recommended: Back up your full server and plugin data before upgrading.

Added

• Added the new Modern SIR 2.0.0 branch as a full Gradle multi-project rewrite with dedicated core, plugin, module/*, and command/* components.
• Added 13 standalone modules: advancements, announcements, channels, cooldowns, discord, emojis, join-quit, login, mentions, moderation, motd, tags, and vanish.
• Added 8 standalone command providers: clear-chat, color, ignore, message, mute, nick, print, and settings.
• Added dedicated command families for /announce, /chat-view, /clear-chat, /chat-color, /ignore, /message, /reply, /mute, /tempmute, /unmute, /check-mute, /nick, /print, and /chat-settings.
• Added /sir commands and /sir migrate <SIR/Essentials> to the main admin workflow.
• Added GUI-based module and command-provider management on supported server versions.
• Added persistent modules/states.yml and commands/states.yml handling, including per-command override states.
• Added normalized users/ storage for ignore data, mute data, chat-view data, chat-color data, and nick data.
• Added automatic backup creation under back-ups/ during migration routines.
• Added built-in migration support for Legacy SIR data.
• Added built-in migration support for Essentials / EssentialsX data, including joins/quits, MOTD, chat formatting, nicknames, language mappings, and command-state imports.
• Added a dedicated nick provider so players and staff can manage nicknames directly from SIR.
• Added a dedicated chat-settings provider for player-side communication preferences and toggleable chat behavior.
• Added Channels v2 with clearer access, audience, style, and logging sections, plus support for converting legacy or hybrid channel layouts.
• Added a far more granular moderation setup with dedicated caps.yml, format.yml, links.yml, and swearing.yml.
• Added branch-aware documentation for modules, command providers, configuration layout, integrations, and migration.

Changed

• Reworked SIR from the old single-project Maven build into a maintained Gradle multi-project architecture.
• Reworked the runtime layout from the old plugins/SIR/resources/... tree into dedicated users/, modules/, commands/, and back-ups/ folders.
• Split the old resources/modules/chat/ umbrella into independent channels, cooldowns, emojis, mentions, moderation, and tags modules.
• Split the old resources/modules/hook/ umbrella into dedicated discord, login, and vanish modules.
• Reworked command handling from one umbrella resources/commands/commands.yml model into per-provider commands.yml and lang.yml files, with optional data.yml, menu.yml, and settings.yml where needed.
• Reworked /sir administration around modules, commands, reload, about, help, support, and migrate.
• Updated the announcement system so command metadata and language now live directly with the announcements module.
• Updated moderation from one large moderation.yml file into separated rule lanes that are easier to audit, maintain, and disable independently.
• Updated user-data persistence so command providers handle interaction flow while user state is stored in normalized files.
• Updated command and permission naming across the modern branch to follow a cleaner provider-based structure.
• Updated legacy command mappings, including sir.clearchat -> sir.clear-chat, sir.chatcolor -> sir.color, sir.mute.perm -> sir.mute, sir.mute.temp -> sir.temp-mute, and sir.checkmute -> sir.check-mute.
• Updated the legacy /announcer flow into the modern /announce family while preserving familiar aliases.
• Updated the internal project namespace from me.croabeast.sir to com.bitaspire.sir as part of the BitAspire modernization pass.

Fixed

• Fixed one of Legacy's biggest upgrade pain points by adding automatic migration for old SIR user data, shared files, module configs, module states, and command states.
• Fixed migration friction for Essentials / EssentialsX-based setups by importing supported nick, join/quit, MOTD, chat, mute, ignore, and command-related data into SIR's new structure.
• Fixed state-management ambiguity by separating module state, command state, and user data into dedicated modern files instead of mixing everything under the old resources/ tree.
• Fixed several long-standing maintenance pain points caused by broad mixed folders by giving chat systems, hooks, moderation rules, and command families their own isolated units.

Notes / Recommendations

• Recommended: back up your full server and plugin data before upgrading from any Legacy SIR setup.
• Do not copy old resources/ folders directly into 2.0.0; use the new layout or run /sir migrate SIR.
• Review all permission nodes before going live, especially if your staff groups still use legacy names.
• sir.admin.update from Legacy does not carry over to the modern plugin.yml permission tree.
• After migration, verify users/, modules/, commands/, and back-ups/ before opening the server to players.
• If you are migrating from Essentials / EssentialsX, use /sir migrate Essentials.
• Modern SIR 2.0.0 is the recommended branch for new installs; Legacy should only remain on servers that still depend on the old runtime tree and permission model.

Hey everyone,

1.7.0 focuses on stability and maintainability: a refreshed command code structure, bundled library upgrades, and a batch of long-standing fixes for a smoother experience across the board.

🔧 Takion remains embedded and has been upgraded to 1.4. No external Takion plugin is required. If you still have a separate Takion JAR or takion/ folder, you can safely remove them.

◉ Changes:

• Upgraded embedded Takion to 1.4 (still bundled inside SIR)
• New command code structure for cleaner registration, reload safety, and easier maintenance
• Additional internal improvements that reduce overhead and improve consistency

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed chat duplication under certain conditions
• Fixed reload behavior being inconsistent across modules/settings
• Fixed issue where a module could not be disabled properly
• Fixed status values not being saved correctly

Thanks for more than 21,000 downloads—you’re amazing. 🚀

Hey everyone,

Here comes version 1.6.0, with some bug fixes and stability improvements.

As of this month, SIR has changed ownership to BitAspire. CroaBeast will remain the head developer and continue bringing you great updates. The versioning format of the plugin has changed to include one more number to show the minor version, nothing to impact your server :)

◉ Changes:

• Dependency management has been streamlined and updated for better efficiency and cleaner resolution across environments

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where Discord-related messages were not being dispatched at all
• Corrected user mute data not saving properly, ensuring accurate persistence moving forward

More refinements and feature notes coming soon — thanks for the continued support and feedback!

Hey everyone,

Here comes version 1.5, a more “behind-the-scenes” update that focuses on build tooling, integration cleanup, and keeping SIR fully compatible with the latest Minecraft versions. No shiny new commands this time—but a lot of important work under the hood to keep everything stable and future-proof.

SIR still ships with Takion embedded inside it, so you don’t need a separate Takion plugin on your server. We’re still fully Java-based, this update just modernizes how things are built and wired together.

◉ Changes:

• Migrated the embedded Takion project from a Maven build to Gradle Kotlin DSL, making development and maintenance cleaner and more consistent
• Vault integration is now handled through the internal VaultAdapter bridge, improving how SIR talks to Vault-backed chat/permission providers
• General internal refactors and micro-optimizations to keep the codebase lean and easier to extend

❌ Bug Fixes:

• Added full compatibility for Minecraft 1.21.9 – 1.21.10, fixing issues on the latest server versions
• Minor stability adjustments around dependency handling and startup logic
