Werchat v1.11.1

Full Changelog: v1.11.0...v1.11.1

Werchat v1.11.0

Werchat 1.11.0

UI

• Added a unified /ch settings UI with Main, Channels, and moderator management views.
• Added password popup flow for joining locked channels from the UI.
• Added modal management lists for bans, mutes, and moderators.
• Added channel owner and selected-channel online roster data to the UI.
• Added dynamic command help panel in Main view.
• /ch help now opens the UI help view (permission-filtered command list).
• /ch list now opens the Channels view directly.

UI Scalability

• Replaced overflowing moderator button strip with a dropdown selector + Open action.
• Fixed moderator dropdown routing bug that could show Unknown moderator tab.
• Adjusted help panel scrolling so long command lists no longer create large empty space.

Channels

• Added channel descriptions (description, descriptionEnabled) and UI visibility support.
• Added channel MOTD (motd, motdEnabled) and UI visibility support.
• MOTD delivery is session-safe (once per login for eligible members).
• Added auto-disambiguated default nicks when creating channels without explicit nick:
  • Uses first character, then suffixes for collisions (1, 1-2, 1-3).

Commands

• Added /ch description <channel> <text|on|off|clear>.
• Added /ch motd <channel> <text|on|off|clear>.
• Added /ch reload support in the UI command help list (permission-aware).

PlaceholderAPI

• Added channel keys for description and MOTD:
  • description
  • motd
  • has_description
  • has_motd
  • description_enabled
  • motd_enabled

Stability & Hardening

• Removed UI test-ban seeding logic from moderation list rendering.
• Improved save-thread safety for debounced channel/player persistence.
• /ch reload now flushes pending debounced saves before disk reload.
• /ch unmod now blocks removing channel owner moderator status.
• Quick-chat symbol matching now prefers longest symbol first (deterministic tiebreak).
• Added permission enforcement for /ignorelist (werchat.ignore, werchat.*, or *).

Werchat 1.10.1

Werchat 1.10.1

• Bumped plugin version to 1.10.1 for a new release artifact.
• Built against latest Hytale release server version resolved at build time.
• No UI branch work included in this release.

Werchat 1.10.0

Quick Changelog

• Added clickable URL support in channel chat and private messages.
• Added clickableUrls.enabled config toggle (default: true).
• Added braced PAPI channel selectors for underscore-safe channel names:
  • %werchat_channel_{<selector>}%
  • %werchat_channel_{<selector>}_<key>%
• Kept backward compatibility for existing selector/key syntax:
  • %werchat_channel_<selector>_<key>%
  • %werchat_channel_<selector>__<key>%
• Fixed PAPI reload edge case for persistent Werchat expansion by making active alias config reads reload-safe.
• Improved build pipeline to resolve Hytale ServerVersion from Maven metadata at build time.

Werchat 1.1.9

Werchat 1.1.9
Compatibility
Added explicit Hytale ServerVersion targeting in manifest.json: 2026.02.17-255364b8e.
Added build-time validation so ServerVersion must be an exact build string.

Added
/ch reload command for reloading Werchat config and channel data safely.
PlaceholderAPI support is new in 1.1.9:
chat-format placeholder parsing (soft dependency),
built-in werchat expansion with global/player/channel placeholders,
Full list is available on the werchat docs/wiki
Public Werchat API improvements for integrations:
typed action/membership result objects,
API capability/version surface,
pre/post hook registration,
exact and fuzzy channel lookup modes.

Changed
Channel permission terminology is now read (replacing legacy view/see language).
Added optional channel permission enforcement for normal /ch usage and chat routing (off by default).
Enable it with channelPermissions.enforce: true in config.json.
Example for a staff channel: grant werchat.channel.staff.join, werchat.channel.staff.read, and werchat.channel.staff.speak.
Persistence moved from periodic autosave to dirty + debounced saves (20s) with final flush on shutdown.
Default channel announcements now route through a single default-channel broadcast path.

Fixed
Fixed repeated join/leave announcement spam behavior.
Fixed PM command flow to respect allowPrivateMessages (/msg and /r).
Removed deprecated/unused API paths and dead code discovered during cleanup.

Werchat v1.1.8

New Features

Separate Tag & Text Colors

Set independent colors for channel tag and message text.

• /ch color <channel> <#tag> [#text] — one color sets both, two colors set them independently
• Example: /ch color Global #55FF55 #FFFFFF gives a green tag but white message text
• Shown in /ch info when a separate text color is set
• Backward compatible: existing channels continue using tag color for both

Per-Channel Quick Chat

Quick chat symbol triggers are now controlled per channel.

• Each channel has quickChatEnabled (true/false) in channels.json
• Moved from global config.json toggle to per-channel control
• Existing channels with symbols auto-enable on first load

Multi-World Channels

Restrict channels to one or more worlds.

• Set "worlds": ["world1", "world2"] in channels.json
• Players can only send/receive messages when in an allowed world
• /ch world <channel> add <world> — add a world to the restriction list
• /ch world <channel> remove <world> — remove a world from the list
• /ch world <channel> none — clear all world restrictions
• Requires werchat.world permission
• World restriction shown in /ch info and /ch list
• Backward compatible: old "world": "name" format auto-migrates to array

Admin Targeting for Nicknames & Message Colors

Admins can set other players' nicknames and message colors.

• /ch playernick <player> <name> [#color] [#gradient] — requires werchat.playernick.others
• /ch msgcolor <player> <#color> [#gradient] — requires werchat.msgcolor.others
• Use /ch playernick <player> reset or /ch msgcolor <player> reset to clear

Ignore Chat Cancellations

Optional ignoreChatCancellations setting in config.json.

• When enabled, Werchat processes chat even if another plugin cancelled the event
• Useful when running alongside plugins that have their own chat formatters
