What ChangelogBook Solves
Most servers rely on Discord announcements or MOTD lines to communicate updates. Players miss changes, suggestions pile up in unrelated channels, and there is no way to track who has actually read what.
ChangelogBook fixes that. Every update becomes an interactive in-game book that players can open at any time. A Smart ID system supports auto-numeric or custom readable IDs. Join notifications alert players about new entries with optional auto-open. A reward system incentivises reading. Players can vote, suggest, and engage with changelogs directly in-game. This is not a simple MOTD plugin. It is a full changelog management system.
