February 2026 – EssentialsX/Essentials: Implemented a hard cap of 100 pages for book metadata parsing in the /give command to prevent server freezes and OutOfMemoryErrors. This defensive limit stops excessive page counts from crashing the server, with a dedicated pageLimitExceeded error path. The change, committed as 5abe8b61efe1180e63581d5fc5a5c53e70d00345, was validated against Purpur 1.21.11-2545 on Java 21. The upgrade improves uptime, reliability, and safety of item-spawns, reducing support incidents and DoS-like risks. Technologies demonstrated include Java 21, memory-management best practices, defensive programming, and thorough PR/documentation work. Business value: higher server uptime, safer gameplay experiences, and lower operational risk.
