ADDED ➜ 1.19.3 support.

Made a mistake in the configuration, hot fixed.

Fixed a small issue related to messages for break & place of voidchests when the user didn't have permissions.

Fixed an error occuring onEnable where the plugin would attempt to load the Normal.yml file and Vip.yml file and failed since they have been removed.

There are a few things that have changed through the plugin, such as paths being added, others removed and etc. I suggest you allowed voidchest to load all files again and you replaced what ever appropriate. Make sure you backup your current voidchest folder. If you happen to ignore this move, you'll encounter issues such as errors, odd behaviour ingame or unexpected results.

• FIXED ➜ Wild stacker's option not properly working with chunk collector.
• FIXED ➜ A bug with a method that manipulated and item's amount and creating copies of it, where as it should copy it in the first place and manipulate it's amout afterwards. This would cause issues with stacker plugins.
• ADDED ➜ UltimateStacker support in addition to WildStacker.
• ADDED ➜ A new placeholder for break and place messages when the player doesn't have permission: "%permission%", it will display the player's missing permission that will allow him to continue what they are doing.
• ADDED ➜ Every "ability" in each voidchest file is now toggleable. You can disable each one of them by setting "enabled" to false and vise versa below them.
• REMOVED ➜ You can no longer customize the permission for placing and or breaking voidchests. They will now default to `voidchest.break.<voidchest>` and `voidchest.place<voidchest>`
  
• REMOVED ➜ Removed the default Normal.yml file from voidchest.
  
• CHANGED ➜ The permission `voidchest.break` and `voidchest.place` have now been changed to `voidchest.break.*` and `voidchest.place.*` and will act as "wildcards".
• CHANGED ➜ The Permissions path has been removed and some paths related to it (messages) have been transferred to the Messages section of the same file.
• CHANGED ➜ Changed voidchest's default sell logic even further for performance benefits (hopefully).
• CHANGED ➜ In the options.yml file, in the chunk-collector section, the hook section of it has changed so as to allow more hooks to be configured. Click me for image.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Some code in relation to stacking plugins has been updated so as to be easier maintained.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Changed vip.yml file to default.yml.

There are a few things that have changed through the plugin, such as paths being added, others removed and etc. I suggest you allowed voidchest to load all files again and you replaced what ever appropriate. Make sure you backup your current voidchest folder. If you happen to ignore this move, you'll encounter issues such as errors, odd behaviour ingame or unexpected results.

• FIXED ➜ When renaming a voidchest's file, if you already had voidchests with the old name active in the world, an error would occur preventing the plugin from properly loading.
• FIXED ➜ There was an issue with the FluxSpigot(1.8.8) server jar not being detected by the plugin's material parser and items containing durabilities (such as colored items, wool, glass, etc) were not working properly.
  
• FIXED/UPDATED ➜ Several sounds were not functioning properly or at all in certain versions. All sounds have been updated accordingly. In addition to that, you can now specify what volume/pitch you wish to set for the specific sound by using commas (first volume then pitch). An example would be: "LEVEL_UP,1,1", this would play the level up soud with a volume of 1 and pitch of 1.
  
• CHANGED ➜ If an invalid sound is inputed into any sound function in any config, the plugin will instead throw an error informing you of what's wrong.
  
• CHANGED ➜ The plugin will now attempt to match old sound names with new ones and vise versa. This will allow for example LEVEL_UP to be used both on 1.8 to 1.14 and ENTITY_PLAYER_LEVELUP from 1.14 to 1.8, both will work the same in any given version.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Each voidchest can now have specific sounds for when doing a specific task (such as when being broken, when being placed, etc). If the path in the voidchest file is not found, a default one will be used from options.yml
  
• CHANGED ➜ A path's name was changed, along with it's comments. This is regarding the disable-when-owner-offline feature. Decided to change some of it's wording and general functioning due to it being a bit complicated.
  • Before disable-when-owner-offline: false
    After: Enable-when-owner-offline: true
• CHANGED ➜ A path's name was changed, along with it's comments. This is regarding the Prevent-player-creative-mode-interaction path. Decided to change some of it's wording and general functioning due to it being a bit complicated.
  • Before: Allow-player-creative-interaction
  • After: Prevent-player-creative-mode-interaction
• REMOVED ➜ The path Click-open-menu is being removed and will no longer be used, something else will be used in it's place.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Changed the plugin's api-version declaration in the plugin.yml to 1.13 from 1.14. This will hopefully allow 1.13.x servers to use the plugin like normal. I am not sure whether this change will have any impact in the overall plugin performance, in terms of it functioning properly in relation to materials and sounds, etc.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Player file saving is now done async but will be handled appropriately so as to avoid multithreading issues.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Missing paths in files will no longer throw errors (which ended up messing with some aspects of the plugin). Instead, a much smaller notification message will be sent, showing the path that is missing and from what file so you can fill it in. If you wish to make it so no message is sent, instead of removing the path simply set it to an empty string (message).
  • For example: Some-Path: ''
• ADDED ➜ If configured accordingly, the plugin will hook into wild stacks and attempt to calculate the correct amount of dropped items with a stacked amount over 64. This will be added into the options.yml file path: chunk-collector.wild-stacker-hook
  • Warning: The dot " ." indicates a section separation.
• ADDED ➜ A bypass permission for the restriction to the voidchest menu when the player is in creative mode. Permission node: voidchest.creative.bypass
  
• FIXED ➜ Versions from 1.8 to ~1.8.3 were not working properly and the plugin would disable.
  
• CHANGED ➜ Modified certain parts of the VoidStorage class (part of the code) to make it's use easier.
  
• REMOVED ➜ The extra custom inventory will be getting remove due to causing a bit of confusion to users and generally not benefiting anything but rather making it harder to sustain due to how other blocks and plugins relate to chests.
• CHANGED ➜ Changed the Place-other-voidchests-near path name to Prevent-placing-other-voidchests-near as the former name would create confusion
  
• CHANGED ➜ Hologram configurations for each voidchest have moved to their own configuration section (Hologram) instead of being under the Storage section.
  
  
• CHANGED ➜ Storage path section changed to Item.
  
• REMOVED ➜ Removed invalid paths (related to the void inventory for example, since it's been removed) from all files.
  
• CHANGED ➜ In the options.yml, the path place-voidchests-in-same-chunk was changed to: prevent-placing-voidchests-in-same-chunk.
  
• ADDED ➜ The plugin will now attempt to calculate the correct position for the hologram if a vanilla chest is placed next to a voidchest (resulting in a doublechest).
  
• ADDED ➜ If you hook a vanilla chest next to a voidchest and that makes a doublechest, if you are to click to the vanilla chest, the plugin will consider that as a voidchest and open up the menu inventory.
  
• CHANGED ➜ By disabling the voidchest hologram through the voidchest file itself, the hologram item won't be set in the menu (whereas it used to before, although the hologram was generally disabled).
  
• CHANGED ➜ Changed the default load-delay time from 5 to 0. This should only be modified if servers are having issues with worlds loading after the voidchest plugin has loaded.
  
• CHANGED ➜ If an item on the ground doesn't get sold or purged, it will instead be transferred onto the chest if there's enough room.
  
• ADDED ➜ An option to either ignore dropped items with item meta or also take them into consideration through the options.yml file under the chunk-collector section.
  
• ADDED ➜ An option to allow the chunk-collector ability to either collect non sellable or purgeable items from the ground.
  
• ADDED ➜ Added a new purge command that will attempt to clear up memory space by removing some of voidchest's stored player data base that has been inactive for 7+ days.
• ADDED ➜ A configurable option in the options.yml file will now allow you to modify what you want to happen when a player interacts with the voidchest. You can choose to either open the voidchest menu, the chest inventory or nothing at all.
• FIXED ➜ During purge checks for invalid voidchest blocks in the world, the plugin would attempt to save each player's data to file regardless of whether any actual change has been made. It now only attempts to save the player's file only in the case of an invalid block was found.
  
• FIXED ➜ Certain items such as RED_DYE or INK_SACK:1 (same item), did not properly work as a material type and INK_SACK:0 would throw an error. I've updated the material handing methods and will hopefully won't encounter any similar issue.
  
• FIXED ➜ Attempted to fix an issue where the plugin wouldn't load the DeveloperInformListener class properly due to missing libraries from server jars (paper spigot 1.12.x specifically)
  
• CHANGED ➜ In each individual voidchest file, there'd be two hologram paths: Hologram and hologram, they've now been merged into hologram.
  
• REMOVED ➜ Removed total storages metric counter.

Removed some debugging that I forgot I've added during some testings.

Hot fixed an issue with preventing players from interacting with voidchests and also the chunk collector ability purging all none sellable items regardless.

There are a few things that have changed through the plugin, such as paths being added, others removed perhaps and others modified. I suggest you allowed voidchest to load all files again and you replaced what ever appropriate. If you happen to ignore this move, you'll encounter issues such as errors, odd behaviour ingame or unexpected results.

• ADDED ➜ The option to play a sound when you click on any item on the voidchest menu inventory.
  
• ADDED ➜ The ability to change the default sell notification option for players.
  
• REMOVED ➜ Removed some code from the plugin that attempted to fix an issue with servers having duplicate data in the world's folder for the same player. This occurs when you usually change from online mode to offline and or vise versa. This issue resulted in plugins like vault (regarding economy) to break and not function properly.
  
• ADDED & CHANGED ➜ Added 2 new placeholders and changed an existing one. This is regarding the booster placeholder.
  • %booster% ➜ This previously showed the voidchest's booster. It now shows the player's booster and the voidchest's combined.
    
  • %booster_voidchest% ➜ This shows the specific voidchest's booster only.
    
  • %booster_player% ➜ This shows the player's booster only.
• ADDED ➜ A new event named VoidSellChunkItemEvent. This will be fired each time an item inside the voidchest chunk is about to be sold.
• ADDED ➜ A new feature named chunk collector. This will allow your voidchest to sell any sellable item inside the chunk it is located in. This feature will obviously be toggleable and mostly configurable.
• ADDED ➜ VoidChest chunk limitation. You can now limit players from placing more than 1 voidchest per chunk.
• CHANGED ➜ Material handling updated. Certain newly added materials were not working in voidchest due to using an "old" material parser.
  
• ADDED ➜ You can now allow certain voidchests to work while their owner is offline and others not. A default value will be selected from the options.yml `Sell.disable-when-owner-offline` path if the path `disable-when-owner-offline` doesn't exist in the specific voidchest file.
  
• ADDED ➜ You can now toggle an option to prevent players from placing normal chests near any voidchest. This will be located in the `options.yml` file and will have two different paths. By default, this option will be disabled, you may change it.
• FIXED ➜ Fixed a bug with the Hologram plugin, when voidchest uses it to handle holograms, having the charge feature disabled, it would not show the sell countdown and instead show `No Fuel`.

• [ ! ] Hologram countdowns will now show the no fuel message if the voidchest doesn't have any fuel. Before, the timer would continue to operator like normal either way giving a false feeling of the voidchest being active.
• [ + ] Added an option to allow voidchests to keep their charge time even after being broken and re-placed.
• [ + ] Added an option to allow voidchests to get dropped in an explosion, regardless of the explosion's type.
• [ + ] Added a purge task that will purge any old data from the database. There is an option that allows you to set how old a data piece needs to be before it gets deleted. Player's data get "reset" when they join the server so as not to be marked as inactive and eventually get purged.
• [ + ] From those converting from older versions, if a data file's contents do not have any chest or the last-login path, they will be purged so as to make space.

Make sure the following paths exist in your options.yml file and that it is correct and you are not missing anything. Otherwise, the plugin will not function properly and you may encounter odd behaviour from it.

VoidChest updated shopGui+'s api to the latest one and also removed the 1 second delay for when opening voidchest's menu, silly me forgot to remove it while testing something.

• [ ~ ] Fixed a bug with the hologram task not updating correctly when dealing with a huge number of data. It will not iterate over a filtered collection of players with voidchests only instead of all data.
• [ + ] Added support for another hologram plugin named Holograms because HolographicDisplays is not yet supported for 1.14x.

Make sure this path exists in your options.yml file and that it is correct and you are not missing anything. Otherwise, the plugin will fail to load holograms properly:

In regards to the latest update (1.1.1), this is a fix on the actual task, forgot to actually make it run in seconds since it was still in ticks while all time converters were handled as seconds.

Voidchest will not attempt to convert old data to the new data saving system. In order to update the plugin do the following:

• Make sure your server is stopped.
• Save all your voidchest files
• Delete the voidchest plugin folder.
• Replace the old voidchest jar with the new one.
• Start your server.
• Having all new files loaded, apply the appropriate changes.
• Use the reload command or restart your server to make sure everything loads properly.

• [ ~ ] 1.14 - 1.14.4 is now fully supported. There was an issue with NBT Tags earlier due to 1.14 being a relative new version. The plugin has been thoroughly tested and should function properly in any 1.14x version.
• [ ! ] Changed the give command to : /vc give ...
  • Example: /vc give normal Shin1gamiX 1
  • Example: /vc give normal Shin1gamiX
    
  • Example: /vc give normal
• [ ~ ] Fixed a bug with the list command. For example, if you were to have 2 voidchests (Normal and Vip), and then tried to give a player a voidchest with the name normal, it would bug and show 3 available voidchests (Normal, normal, Vip). And this would go on for as long as you typed out the same voidchest with different caps.
• [ ~ ] Fixed a bug with the shopguiplus mode not selling certain items.
• [ ~ ] Hopefully fixed a bug with players changing their names and have their voidchests not function anymore.
• [ + ] Added a new feature named charge. This feature acts as fuel for any voidchest that you configure to have it. Players will need to pay in game money in order to give "fuel" so as to allow the voidchest to function properly. An estimated time of the voidchest's working time can be displayed in the hologram if available or the voidchest menu inventory.
• [ + ] Added an option to delay voidchest's data load when the plugin enables. This will hopefully fix issues with worlds not being loaded in time and voidchest fails to load data related to these worlds.
• [ + ] Added an option to delay voidchest's hook with a different economy plugin (essentials, shopguiplus or voidchest's own logic). This delay is the same as the above.
• [ + ] Added an option to prevent voidchests from being placed next to each other (this can be toggled on and off for each individual voidchest on their own file).
• [ - ] The saving task has been removed completely.
• [ + ] Added an option in the options.yml file so as to toggle on and off whether you want voidchests to function in case their owner is offline.
• [ + ] Added some debugging shown only to me when I join a server using my plugin, this debugging shows stats such as what mode the plugin is using, some information about it, how many voidchests there are on the server, which version the plugin is, etc.
• [ + ] Added an option to disable the voidchest menu inventory. If this is disabled, performance in general should be enhanced greatly since the plugin wouldn't be required to deal with inventories whatsoever.
• [ + ] You can know translate the time in voidchest's hologram countdown feature through the options.yml file.
• [ + ] Greatly enhanced inventory handling, this should optimize performance by a whole lot.
  
• [ + ] Hologram updating task optimized.
• [ + ] Voidchest place limit has changed and you can now allow
  
• [ ! ] Data will no longer be stored in a single file. Each player will get their own unique file located in a folder named "PlayerData".
• [ ! ] The plugin will no longer save data on a player's name. UUID will be used instead so as to prevent issues with name changing in online-mode servers.players to have different limits depending on their permission. More information can be found in the options.yml file.
• [ ! ] The sell interval in the options.yml file has changed to ticks from seconds.
• [ ! ] The voidchest-inventory file has been removed and from now, each voidchest will have it's own individual file located in a folder named "VoidChests", inside voidchest's main folder.
• [ ! ] The messages section from the options.yml file have been removed and have been transfered to each voidchest's file.

This list is so huge, I may have even forgotten some other changes made but these should be the main ones.

No real issue, you don't need to update the plugin, I am just fixing a mistake made by me while configurating the vip menu chest.

This update is quite fascinating! I will be listing a few things that you will NEED to note before updating!

• You will need to keep a backup of your current voidchest folder before updating to this version! There have been changes that may cause issues such as the removall of existing voidchests in your server and the voidchest items won't be operateable from previous updates!
  • Disable the voidchest plugin that is currently running in your server.
  • After disabling the plugin, copy the voidchest folder somewhere safe so you don't lose all the work you've done.
  • Having done that, reload the plugin with either a plugin manager or by restarting your server. Make sure the plugin was reloaded properly.
  • After the new folder is loaded, properly replace anything you want and then reload the plugin using /voidchest reload or by restarting, your choice.
  • Having done that, make sure to satisfy your players by giving them the new voidchests.

Noticeable changes and updates:

• There can now be multiple voidchests. You can assign names to these voidchests, a default booster, hologram text and whatever else there is available.
• Toggleable holograms through voidchest's menu GUI have now been added. You can now set the height and text you want the specific voidchest type to have, along with placeholders that update each time a sell is made. You will be required to install holographicdisplays if you wish to use this feature of the plugin.
• Added playerboosters with an expire date. You can add individual boosters to players with a command that expire after a given interval.
• Re-organized the options.yml by adding more comments explaining what most things do.
• Finally added an auto-purge task running in the background that will basically clear any voidchest data for locations that have been modified by third party plugins or explosions.
• Added a new list command that will show you all available voidchest names.
• Made it so you can add different permissions for breaking or placing voidchests (different for each voidchest, or the same, up to you). This can be done through the voidchest-inventory.yml file.
• Changed the auto-update interval to 2 hours from 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Fixed a potential bug with certain items not working properly due to material name changes from version 1.13 and above (material examples are carrot, potato, etc)
• Sounds will no longer default to level up if none found, they will simply not be played.
• Breaking voidchests will now drop the contents of the custom inventory and the chest's inventory.
• Fixed a bug where if you were to use /voidchest reload, the voidchest item given by the command wouldn't update so you'd be forced to either restart or reload.
• Re-organized some code so as to (hopefully) increase performance. This however means that if you have made an addon for voidchest or a plugin that uses some of voidchest's method, you will have to update it since some methods have changed.
• Added an option for each voidchest to either prevent or allow players to open the actual chest's inventory when right clicking it.
• Added a whole lot more events for developers to use in case they may want to change certain behaviour regarding voidchests.
• Changed how voidchests are saved and loaded from the file (basically changed some paths, not much). This may cause an issue if you update the plugin without following my previous instructions.

Fixed a bug that caused an error in the console each the plugin loaded.
This was happening because the plugin was attempting to load both essentials and shopguiplus modes and then check which one is the server using rather than check first and then load.

There has been a minor change in the options.yml file:

Make sure to add the "task" path under Saving and set it to sync (or async if you know what you're doing). This will most likely fix certain Concurrent errors that you may or may not have.

1. Fixed a potentional NullPointerException error in the essentials mode in case that any item inside the voidchest inventory wasn't sellable (according to essentials) it would produce an error.
2. Fixed potentional dupe issues (you may not have encountered them or noticed them, no need to worry about that). This issue occured whenever the plugin reloaded and it ended up returning some items in the voidchest inventories that were removed or sold.

Just a re-upload.

There have been a few quite important bug fixes and a few changes in code along with a few improvements.

No config changes made whatsoever.

• Changed version to 0.4.5
• Changes in voidchest sell mode:
  • Now, whenever you reload the plugin using /voidchest reload a message will be displayed in console saying whether there were some invalid material types in your shop.yml
    • This happens ONLY if you have voidchest as the sell mode.
  • Fixed a NullPointerException spamming the console if you happened to have an invalid material type in shop.yml
• Changes in essentials sell mode:
  • Changed the ignore-item-meta logic for essentials so as to work properly. In previous versions, no matter whether it was true or false it'd simply count the item as a sellable.
• VoidChest will now be using Maven. (This is my first project which I run maven so if you encounter any issues, let me know and I'll handle them)
• Fixed a bug with voidchest auto save function where if items were removed from the custom inventory and the plugin were to be reloaded with either a restart/command/reload command, those items would be set back to the inventory (causing duplication).
• Auto update interval changed to 75 minutes (1 hour + 15 minutes).

If in any case the essentials mode wasn't working, try testing again with this version. If you are not using essentials, updating won't be necessary.
Updated the essentials version being used in the plugin to the latest one.

No file changes made.

It seems that ShopGUIPlus support has stopped working for 1.14, this is a patch most likely, and a possible bug fix for all versions regarding items and the option "ignore-item-meta" when set to true which could potentionally reset item metas from items.

There's been a few changes which I'll be listing below.

1. No file changes made whatsoever.
2. Version changed to 0.4.2
3. Changed the update notification interval to 45 minutes.
4. It seems that (rarely) the server database somehow gets corrupted thus making some player's data retrieval a bit messy which results in causing issues with the plugin. A patch for that has been attempted.
5. Permission for reload command changed to voidchest.reload
6. Permission for the give command changed to voidchest.give
7. Changed the use of org.apache.commons.lang3 package with com.google.common.base

VoidItemMenuClickEvent event added - fired whenever you click on the menu inventory.

The item setup logic has changed. From now, if you set the slots to "all", items will be replaced instead of ignored if there is already an item in any specific slot. However the order of how items are added has also changed.

Decoration items are added first so it is suggested that if you want "barrier" blocks perhaps, add them first and set the slots to "all". You can then add your other decoration items.

This update will allow you to fully customize the menu inventory gui. If you'd want that, make sure to read "things to note" at the very bottom.

• The gui has been made fully configurable and extremely easy to use.
  • For setting items you can use "slots, slot" to set the slot you want (they are both the same) and you can put multiple slots seperated by , (commas). Example: slots: 1,2,3,4
  • If the above is not enough, you can make it so all empty slots are replaced with your item by setting slots/slot to "all" so: slots: all
• You can now configure when clicking on an item in the gui whether you want it to close or not.
• Auto-Updater added, you will be notified (through console) if there is an update.

• Some paths were either changed, added and or removed. Please keep a backup of your files and delete the old ones. Restart the server properly so as to allow the plugin to load all new yaml files.
• New files were added and some paths were moved from options.yml to that new file. Make sure to properly load them as you may encounter issues if you don't. Always keep backups.

Fixed a bug where upon placing a voidchest while the player has no permission, the voidchest would be placed but a no permission message would be sent.

From now, if you are in creative mode, breaking a voidchest will not drop an item.

Voidchests will now be dropped a bit smoother and in the exact location upon being broken.

Added bStats so as to keep track of certain data that will allow me to better certain parts of voidchest. (You may disable in bStats config.yml file but I'd appreciate it if you didn't. No performance issues will be noticed with this change whatsoever)

Hot-fixed a bug where when opening the chest's actual inventory, items were not moveable.

This update is crusial as it contains several improvements, along with a few important bug fixes. I'll be listing the changes below:

• When a different player interacts with another player's voidchest inventory (menu), it will fail to act as a menu inventory thus allowing players to pull out items.
• Upon using the /voidchest reload command, an error was displayed in the console due to the VoidEconomy api.
• If you were to enter a negative number in /voidchest <player> [amount], it would display the negative amount, which is not rational. Numbers are now made absolute.
• If certain paths in the files were not found, the plugin would throw errors. If a path isn't found, a default value will be used.
• Voidchest's reload will now correctly reload all files.

• ASkyBlock will now operate even if the owner of the voidchest is offline.
• Inventories now have a placeholder: %owner% which is replaced by the voidchest's owner name. (Works in both inventories)
• Due to how spigot handles item transfers from hoppers to items, from now, items won't be transfered into the voidchest's inventory but rather into the chest's inventory. However, this has no performance issues whatsoever. After the set sell interval in options, all items are going to be transferred into the voidchest inventory and then the attempt to sell them will occur.
• Improved several code logic such as how the give command works (smaller & more efficient)
• Improved and fixed sell logic for voidchest, shopguiplus and essentials.
• Added an option so as to be able to either ignore or not item meta (name, lore, enchants, etc). Meaning, if decided to not ignore, item's with any of the things mentioned earlier will be counted as not a sellable. This is to prevent enchanted items and or re-named ones from being sold (If purge is on, they will be removed however).
• (For developers) Added 2 events: VoidSellChestEvent, VoidSellEvent. First fired whenever a voidchest is about to initiate a sell, second one is fired whenever an item is about to be sold.
• Permissions added:
  • voidchest.place -> Allows a player to place a voidchest.
  • voidchest.break -> Allows a player to break their own voidchest.
  • voidchest.break.bypass -> Allows a player to break other player's voidchests.
• Invalid materials will be turned into bedrock in file.

• Some paths were either changed, added and or removed. Please keep a backup of your files and delete the old ones. Restart the server properly so as to allow the plugin to load all new yaml files.
