Animated Nicknames 3.0.0 | Switched to Paper and Text Shadows
Animated Nicknames v3.0.0 Changelog

Hello everyone!
Today is a big day, I finally had the courage to dive deep in Animated Nicknames' code..
and updated from Spigot to Paper! I also cooked a new feature with a suggestion!
Learn more by reading below:

+ Switched from Spigot 1.21.8 to Paper 1.21.10
+ Completely swapped Legacy format for MiniMessage!
Your players will have to re-select their colours (including custom!) and decorations. No worries, they will be told to do so if they try toggling their animation with legacy colours or decorations!
+ Filler items in menus now have hidden tooltips! Cool trick right?
+ Cute little "ding" sound when clicking a button in menus!
+ Fixed normal animations and rank animations not resetting properly when a player disconnects and reconnects
+ Fixed some animations overlapping with others when switching animations dynamically
+ Fixed nametags not following the player after death when animation or shadow is enabled
+ Fixed issues related to disabling animations

+ Moved a lot of permissions around to make them more logical!
animatednicknames.animation -> animatednicknames.animations
animatednicknames.pick-animation -> animatednicknames.animations.pick
animatednicknames.pick-colour -> animatednicknames.animations.pick-colour
animatednicknames.pick-decoration -> animatednicknames.animations.pick-decoration
animatednicknames.custom-colour -> animatednicknames.animations.custom-colour

+ Brand-new feature! Suggested by Stella
You can now have a shadow under your nickname! The button should be located in the bottom right of AN's main menu!
You can toggle it so you don't have to enable your animation to have it, and it stays when your animation is on!
I'm not done cooking with this feature yet, so stay on the look-out!
Here are the new permissions associated with this feature:
+ animatednicknames.shadows: Allows the user to have a shadow
+ animatednicknames.shadows.pick-colour: Allows the user to pick a colour for their shadow
+ animatednicknames.shadows.custom-colour: Allows the user to set a custom hex colour for their shadow

- Removed old permissions back from 1.X.X versions
animatednicknames.global-disable and animatednicknames.give-item
- Removed old command from plugin.yml
/global-disable

I've put a lot of time into this update, I have no idea if I've overlooked anything.
This is exactly the moment I need your help, if you find any bugs, issues or have any suggestions, do report it in my Discord server: https://discord.gg/yqG4u2JnrV
Have a great rest of your day!
