I rarely write any reviews, and especially hardly any negative reviews, however this time I will write a review because there are some caveats about how this plugin is advertised and how the average rating on spigot is obtained.
First of all, the plugin author offers incentives for writing a review which leads to biased reviews.
Players will only receive access to the 'free' advertised crate models of this plugin after they have written a review for this plugin. (

So, first point is that these crate models are not free, since the purchaser has to write a review first. (

It is already pretty questionable to give incentives to write reviews, since respectable companies like google, trustpilot, and tripadvisor prohibit companies to provide incentives as this may bias the results.
Another reason why the reviews do not reflect a correct rating, is that the purchasers require these models to test the plugin (or purchasers have to fix their own models, but hey, that is not something the average Joe can/will do, just to test the plugin).
Therefore, there is no way that the purchasers are able to have a good view about the plugin at the moment they have to write the review. The reviews are therefore biased.
Secondly, the plugin is advertised as 'supporting Itemsadder and Modelengine'.
The fact is that the plugin does not support Itemsadder and Modelengine, but it REQUIRES these plugins.
The only way how this acquatic plugin works without Itemsadder/Modelengine, is that the crate becomes a barrier block (

Players cannot even see the crates. I don't think how a crates plugin can be considered to be working.
(Also on the wikipage, which I read before purchasing this plugin, it is stated that 'Itemsadder/Modelengine' is optional. (

So in fact, I am just tricked to buy this plugin, by the biased reviews and the wrong description.
And no, I am not willing to receive a refund, and I won't chargeback neither. My only goal is to warn possible future purchasers about these practices.
