### ChangelogBook<\/p>\n
## Professional In-Game Changelog Management for Serious Server Owners<\/p>\n
The Silent Problem Killing Your Player Engagement<\/p>\n
You pushed 15 updates last month. Fixed critical bugs. Added requested features. Balanced the economy.<\/p>\n
How many of your players actually know about these changes?<\/p>\n
Most server owners rely on chat announcements that get buried in seconds, Discord posts that only 30% of players see, or worse – nothing at all. The result? Players complain about “bugs” you fixed weeks ago. They don’t notice new features. They assume the server is stagnant.<\/p>\n
You’re working hard to improve your server, but your community doesn’t see it.<\/p>\n
ChangelogBook Changes Everything<\/p>\n
ChangelogBook delivers your updates directly to players in-game, in a format they actually want to read – a beautifully formatted, interactive book GUI. No chat spam. No external links. Just clean, professional update communication that players can’t miss.<\/p>\n
This isn’t another changelog plugin. This is how premium networks communicate with their community.<\/p>\n
What Makes ChangelogBook Essential<\/p>\n
Interactive Book GUI That Players Actually Read<\/p>\n
Stop spamming chat with changelog messages that disappear in 3 seconds. Players open a beautifully formatted book with sequentially numbered entries, rich text formatting, and custom categories. It’s intuitive, professional, and designed to be read, not ignored.<\/p>\n
Smart Category System<\/p>\n
Organize updates by Added, Fixed, Removed – or create unlimited custom categories (Events, Security, Performance, Economy). Each category has custom colors, icons, and Discord embed styling. Your updates look organized and professional, not like random notes.<\/p>\n
Reward System That Drives Engagement<\/p>\n
Incentivize players to stay informed. Configure customizable rewards for reading changelogs – items, economy bonuses, or permissions. Turn passive readers into engaged community members who actually know what’s happening on your server.<\/p>\n
Automatic Join Notifications<\/p>\n
Players get notified about new changelog entries the moment they join. No manual broadcasting. No hoping they check Discord. 100% visibility on every update you push.<\/p>\n
Full Color Formatting Support<\/p>\n
Legacy color codes (&a, &c, &6) for all Minecraft versions
\nHex color support (&#FF5733) for Minecraft 1.16+ with automatic fallback
\nBold, italic, underline, strikethrough formatting
\nProfessional-looking entries that match your server’s branding<\/p>\n
Discord Integration<\/p>\n
Every changelog entry automatically posts to Discord with rich embeds, category-based colors, author tags, and timestamps. Keep your Discord community and in-game players perfectly synchronized.<\/p>\n
MySQL Database with Multi-Server Sync<\/p>\n
Store changelog entries in MySQL for network-wide synchronization. Update once, deploy everywhere. Includes HikariCP connection pooling, automatic database maintenance, and soft-delete with auto-prune. Built for professional networks, not hobby servers.<\/p>\n
Multi-Language Support<\/p>\n
Built-in English and Polish language files. Fully translatable for international communities. Every message, GUI element, and notification can be localized to your audience.<\/p>\n
Admin-Friendly Management<\/p>\n
\/changelog add [category] No complex setup. No YAML editing nightmares. Just simple, powerful commands that work.<\/p>\n Why ChangelogBook Beats Every Alternative<\/p>\n Most changelog plugins are glorified chat broadcasters. They dump text into chat, maybe save it to a file, and call it a day. ChangelogBook is built from the ground up as a professional communication system:<\/p>\n Persistent, On-Demand Access – Players can reopen changelog anytime with \/changelog, not just when you broadcast This is the changelog plugin large networks use. Not because it’s flashy – because it works reliably at scale.<\/p>\n Perfect For<\/p>\n Survival\/Economy Servers – Keep players informed about economy changes, new features, bug fixes The Reality Check<\/p>\n Your players don’t check your Discord every day. They don’t read your website news section. They log in, play, and log out.<\/p>\n If you’re not communicating updates in-game, you’re not communicating at all.<\/p>\n ChangelogBook puts your hard work directly in front of players – in a format that’s professional, engaging, and impossible to miss.<\/p>\n Every update you push deserves to be seen. Make sure it is.<\/p>\n Start Communicating Like a Professional Network<\/p>\n No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Just a one-time purchase for a tool that pays for itself in player retention.<\/p>\n Technical Requirements<\/p>\n Paper 1.20+ (tested on 1.21.3) Installation<\/p>\n Drop JAR into plugins folder Support<\/p>\n Professional support via Discord.
