Vanity

Vanity is a Paper/Purpur character creator plugin with a browser editor, store,
closet, lore, profile switching, themed UI shells, and MineSkin application.
Players open it with /vanity, build a look in the web UI, save outfits, buy
items, and apply the final skin back in-game.

Updates In 1.7.0

  • Added authenticated ZIP asset-pack uploads to the website Overlay Library.
  • Added upload/remove management with immediate catalog refresh and automatic

ownership grants for imported overlays.

  • Added strict upload validation: zip-slip protection, compressed/expanded size

limits, file-count limits, filename sanitisation, and readable 64×64 PNG checks.

  • Added saved per-outfit overlay priority. Use Layer order in the Creator to

move pants below long shirts/tunics or change any other equipped layer order.

  • Fixed profiles.enabled: false: the web editor now opens directly, profile

controls are hidden, stale profile sessions are cleared, and profile CRUD APIs
reject mutations while the feature is disabled.

  • Hardened static and overlay file path containment and bounded JSON request bodies.
  • Made profile and owned-item persistence operations thread-safe for concurrent

requests from the embedded web server.

  • Added Java archive-security tests and browser layer/profile regression tests.
