A massive new update for BoringGroups has just been released, and it’s packed with features designed to make managing your server easier and more powerful than ever before.

The headline feature of this update is the brand new in-game GUI system! You can now manage almost every aspect of the plugin without needing to rely on commands. Just type /group to open a clean and intuitive menu where you can create groups, edit prefixes, manage permissions, and set up inheritance with just a few clicks.

Here’s a full list of what’s new in this version:

• [NEW] Complete GUI System: Say goodbye to memorizing commands! The new GUI allows for fast, visual management of all your groups and their settings.
  
  
• [NEW] Group Inheritance: You can now set "parent" groups for your ranks. This allows them to automatically inherit permissions and prefixes, saving you a huge amount of time and effort when configuring complex rank structures.
  
  
• [NEW] Developer API (BoringAPI): We've launched a new companion plugin, BoringAPI! This is a lightweight API that allows your other plugins (like BoringMSG) to hook into BoringGroups to fetch player prefixes, permissions, and even use the emoji system.
  
  
• [NEW] Emoji Category Permissions: You can now grant access to entire categories of emojis with a single permission node, like boringgroups.emoji.smileys_and_people, making emoji permission setup a breeze.
  

IMPORTANT: BoringGroups will work perfectly on its own. However, if you want to use its placeholders (like {prefix}) in other plugins (such as BoringMSG), you will need to download and install our new, lightweight BoringAPI plugin as well.

As always, please be sure to back up your server before updating. If you run into any bugs, please report them.
