⚡ DupeWatch: Most Advanced next-gen Anti-dupe plugin for Paper/Spigot🚫✨
Fixed a bug where you couldn't get scanned automatically unless you added a special thing in the config,
added rate limiting so players cant spam items in and out of chests/inventories to stress the server
DupeWatch v1.2.2 – Faster Performance & Smart Alerts
November 6, 2025
Changelog – v1.2.2
New Features
Multi-Layer Caching System
DupeWatch now remembers recently checked items so it doesn’t do the same work over and over.
Example: If a player checks the same chest repeatedly, DupeWatch already knows what’s inside and skips extra work.
Bloom Filter Technology
A fast check that can quickly ignore items you don’t care about.
Example: The plugin can instantly skip regular blocks like dirt or cobblestone without slowing down the server.
Material Type Filter
Another quick filter that instantly skips items that aren’t being watched.
Example: If you only care about diamonds, it ignores all other blocks right away.
Improvements
80%+ CPU Usage Reduction
The plugin now runs much faster and uses less server power.
Example: Before, checking a chest could slow the server; now it’s almost instant.
Smart Debouncing
Stops multiple checks from triggering at the same time.
Example: If a player quickly opens and closes a chest many times, DupeWatch only checks it once.
Automatic Cache Warmup
The plugin gradually learns what’s being watched after startup.
Example: During the first few minutes after server start, DupeWatch “warms up” and then works at full speed.
Alert System Improvements
Threshold-Based Alerts
Alerts now trigger at multiples of a set number instead of every time.
Example: If your alert threshold is 3, you get alerts at 3, 6, 9 violations instead of constantly at 4, 5, 6, etc.
Clearer Alert Messages
Alerts now show player, item, count, and threshold in a clean format.
Example: [DupeWatch] Player123 flagged Diamond Sword [15/10] means Player123 has 15 violations and the alert threshold is 10.
Configuration Enhancements
Settings are now easier to find and use.
Example: You can change alert thresholds or ignore creative mode directly in the plugin menu instead of editing files.
Bug Fixes
Alerts now trigger correctly at the right counts.
Thresholds and intervals now save properly.
Silent detection messages no longer spam the console.
Settings now persist when moving between menus.
If you have reported something in the past week its fixed in this update:
Error with adventure classes,
Added a new silent license verification messages option in the main menu,
Fixed an issue with the edit rule gui glitching out after clicking an option,
made edit rule gui more pretty,
and aton more stuff!
DupeWatch Changelog – v1.1.9 (11-10-2025)
🧩 New Features
Inventory Snapshots
DupeWatch now automatically saves full player inventories when suspects leave the server. You can view these snapshots directly from the case menu, even if the player is offline.
Item Serialization
Added a Base64-based item serializer to reliably store and restore all item data.
Rule Item Preview
When adding a new rule, the item you select now appears as the actual item instead of a paper icon.
⚙️ Improvements
Case Management
Cases now store inventory data and limit the number of notes per case to keep things organized.
GUI Updates
Improved navigation, layout, and state handling across all rule menus for smoother use.
Chat Input Handling
Chat-based configuration for thresholds and intervals is now easier and more flexible.
Database Updates
Expanded the schema to support inventory snapshots and improved performance for data operations.
🐞 Fixes & Stability
Better handling of player disconnect events to ensure snapshots are always saved correctly.
Fixed rare sync issues between active cases and stored data.
General cleanup and performance improvements throughout the plugin.
