SnPlayerCount changelog

Changes

• Vanished staff no longer show up in the counts. The proxy counts vanished players like anyone else, so a server could read one more player from outside than its own tab shows. With SnStaff installed, each server counts its vanished players and sends the number to every other server, and every server leaves them out of %snplayercount_<server>% and %snplayercount_total%.
• New vanish: section in config.yml (merged into existing files on boot): enabled (default true), server-name (this server's name in the proxy config, empty by default) and ttl-seconds (default 10).
• Set vanish.server-name on every backend that runs SnStaff. Servers without SnStaff need no setup: they apply the reports they receive. Keep update-interval the same on every server.
• Without SnStaff anywhere, the numbers are exactly the same as in 2.0.0.
• The proxy must forward the BungeeCord Forward subchannel.

SnPlayerCount 2.0.0

PlaceholderAPI placeholders for proxy-wide and per-server player counts, read from the proxy over the BungeeCord plugin-messaging channel. No proxy-side plugin needed: works with Velocity and BungeeCord.

Placeholders

• %snplayercount_total% - players on the whole network.
• %snplayercount_<server>% - players on one server (case-insensitive, e.g. %snplayercount_lobby%). Unknown or not-yet-answered servers read 0.
• Both resolve without a player too (holograms, console, /papi parse --null).

Features

• Each server in servers is queried by name, so per-server counts work on hardened proxies that never answer GetServers. Leave the list empty to auto-discover with GetServers.
• Configurable refresh interval (update-interval, default 3 seconds). An immediate refresh runs when the first player joins an empty server.
• /snplayercount reload (alias /spc) re-applies the interval, the server list and the debug settings live.
• Aliases configurable under command.aliases; messages in lang/messages_<code>.yml with HEX and MiniMessage.

Installation

• Put SnLib.jar in plugins/ (required) together with SnPlayerCount. PlaceholderAPI is needed for the placeholders.
• On first boot the plugin generates its own config.yml and lang/messages_en.yml.
• Part of the Sn bundle: paste your bundle key into plugins/.Sn-License/license.yml.
