This update requires PyroLib v1.4.3 or higher to run.

Additions:
- Added 1.20.6 and 1.21 support.
- Added more particle effects to various storms - these are prototypes for the v5 update. (mainly acid rain)

General Changes:
- Bumped PyroLib requirement to v1.4.3

Fixes:
- Fixed a crash issue on 1.21 and 1.21.1 servers.
- Fixed some various configuration options not being parsed into the internal settings correctly.

(Requires PyroLib v1.2.3 or higher)

Additions:
- Added new visual effects for the Blizzard storm. This storm will now freeze the player and show a visual effect for this. (1.17+ only).
- Added Superstorms. Please copy and paste the new settings into your config here: ( https://pastebin.com/WyEXrita)
- Added Superstorm setting that lets you disable certain storms from going super.
- Added a new 'bypass' to Blizzards in which Leather Armour can be used in a Blizzard to half the effect of damage and freezing.

General Changes:
- Changed the randomisers to the ThreadRandom for optimisation sake.
- Made various optimisations across the board for various storms.
- Made slight changes to some of the visual effects in some storms.
- Reduced the sound of the EMP Storm as it is very loud, client side.
- Refactored a lot of the core code to be more optimised and easier to read for myself.
- Updated API-Version to support versions 1.14 and higher.

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue related to Acid Rain.

Notes:
- Currently, Superstorms will modify storms to be approx. 2x stronger then the original storm. Individual settings will be added in future patches.
- I am looking at 'rebranding' PyroWeather into PyroEnvironment (name STC). This is because I feel that adding temperature, and other things don't fall under the 'Weather' name. I will also be looking at adding ambient sounds that enhance the feel as well. This is all STC and nothing is set in stone.
- If the above goes forward, storms and weather will be prioritised before other enviornmental effects.

Fixes:
- Fixed some users experiencing an issue with the new StringFormatter class not being found. This should be fixed.

Additions:
- Added PyroLib support and as an dependency.

General Changes:
- Changed the API to 1.15 to allow for 1.15 related features.

Sorry for the long awaited update. Life has been getting in the way a lot and plugin development feels like a chore instead of being fun due to people always complaining about updates. I'd like to say that I started this out as a hobby, not as a full-time job. Please be patient like most people. We all have lives and I'm sure you can wait a bit longer. Anyways, without futher ado, here's the update log:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additions:
- Added Blizzards
- Added Snowy Mobs (spawn during Blizzards)
- Added all of the relevant configuration options to Blizzards. (These are in line with Acid Rain and GRBs)
- Added all of the respective messages to the messages.yml for Blizzards
- Added all of the respective commands for Blizzards. (Start and info commands)
- Added all of the permissions to start/stop Blizzards. Replace the storm name in the prevous permissions with "blizzards" for it to work.

General Changes:
- Done a huge amount of refactoring to make the plugin more optimised
- Cleaned up the code so my eyes don't bleed as much.
- Changed some colours in the default messages.yml to be more in-line with the rest of the plugin.
- Made it so the /pw info command will now work across worlds and display information about the storm that is currently in the world you are in.
- Fixed a bug where Gamma Ray Bursts would spam console on versions 1.13.
- Fixed some messages in the messages.yml being spelt incorrect.

Next update will contain the Blizzard special effect which will - make it so the longer you are in the Blizzard, the slower you get and the greater the effects are on the player. (At the moment, it's just a constant Tier 1 of the effects)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note: I will be adding particle effects to Blizzards eventually which will reduce player vision while inside one. I'm still learning how to do particles and the best way to do it without being super annoying for the player and being too laggy for them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is any bugs, please let me know ASAP. I am on holiday from Wednesday and won't be able to fix anything for around 1 - 2 weeks.

Additions:
- Added a new command "/pw stopstorm <world>" - Will stop the current storm in your/the specified world when used.
- Added an error prefix which will display red instead of the normal color when the player inputs something incorrectly. (bit of visual feedback)
- Added a new command "/pw info" - Shows info on the current storm
- Added metadata to all custom entities from the plugin to ensure they are removed even if they stay alive.

General Changes:
- Changed the default prefix of the plugin to "PyroWeatherPro" instead of "PyroWeather" in the default configuration.
- Made some of the default messages inside the messages.yml feel more intuitive and responsive in game by displaying commands the players should do instead of giving a generic response.
- Removed "/pw acidrain stop <world>"
- Removed "/pw gammaray stop <world>"
- Cleaned and refactored some of the command handler code
- Changed a bunch of the default colours for the messages to look neater and more refined.
- Removed all of the messages for the old Acidic Mobs as they are no longer implemented into the plugin.
- Fixed custom mobs not despawning correctly.
- Fixed custom mobs not getting removed when unloaded.
- Re-worked the clearmobs method to now remove all custom mobs. (Has a warning since this might cause lag - also tells you how many mobs you removed)
- Merged "/pw acidrain info" & "/pw gammaray info" into one single command which is now "/pw info"

The next big update for the plugin will include Blizzards and Sandstorms for snow biomes and deserts respectively. Now that I'm happy with the plugin in it's current state, I can start adding more storm types and features.

Additions:
- Added warning messages in the console when a storm tries to start with all invalid worlds.
- Added support to the Acidrain info command message to support the warning time. (requires message.yml regeneration)

General Changes:
- Fixed a NPE when reloading / disabling the plugin or stopping the server.
- Fixed an IOException related to version checker.
- Fixed a OutOfBoundsException when a storm tried to start with no valid worlds.
- Fixed the Acid Rain warning time not working as intended.
- Fixed stopping Acid Rain while the warning time was on causing a NPE.
- Fixed a NPE with the main task while using AllStormsAcid.
- Removed some unused configuration options which should have been removed with v3.3.0
- Acidrain storms will no longer start automatically via the plugin is AllStormsAcid is set to true. (This is to prevent errors and bugs)
- Removed unused code.
- Made some slight optimizations to how the Acid rain damaging system works.

Additions:
- Added a new configuration section that allows for better overall storm control and feels more fluid.

General Changes:
- Removed per-storm chances to start and timers.

Notes:
Please note, if you are using more than 2 worlds in Acidrain or Gamma rays, it will randomly select a world meaning the chance will technically be half of what is. I would advice to only use one world but the choice is up to you.

Testing will need to be done on this version. Once I'm happy that everything is going smoothly, I'll work on implementing future storms into the plugin which I have quite a few I want to start with.

General Changes:
- Removed fire resistance from Scorched mobs as they were giving players infinite fire resistance.

Additions:
- Added the entire command list into the messages.yml for full customisation.
- Made the information messages "/pw <storm> info" fully customisable in the messages.yml

General Changes:
- Removed commands from the command list that no longer have a function.
- Fixed the command "/pw clearmobs" not functioning.
- Removed the command "/pw admin". (Admin commands will now be displayed if you have permission.)
- Removed the option to remove empty lines from the command list in console. (It's now automatically done)
- Revised some of the code and made slight improvements and optimisations for myself and servers.
- Reformatted some of the default messages to look nicer and not appear as spammy.

Additions:
- Added simplier Acidic Mobs (same as Scorched but will deal poison damage).
- Added the ability to set the movement speed of Acidic Mobs.
- Added the ability to set the knockback resistance of Acidic Mobs.
- Added the ability to set the movement speed of Scorched Mobs.
- Added the ability to set the knockback resistance of Scorched Mobs.
- Added the ability to set the amount of time Acidic Mobs will poison you.
- Added a new message to the messages.yml. ("CannotStartStorm")
- Added 1.14 support to the plugin.

General Changes:
- Removed the mobs.yml file.
- Removed all the Acidic Custom Mobs.
- Removed the ability for storms to run concurrently in the same world. (May add this back later)
- Scorched effect will now only affect mobs that spawn during the Gamma Ray Burst instead of Scorching all entities.
- Removed the "/pw spawnmob <storm>" command.
- Completely removed all deprecated methods from the code.
- Moved around some classes and code to manage it a bit better for myself. - Cleaned up some unused code from previous experiments and updates which are no longer in use.
- Fixed a NPE when a storm tried to start in a world that was loaded and then unloaded.
- Removed Player File creation for the time being as they are currently not needed. - Fixed Player Files being created in the plugin directory instead of in the /PlayerData folder.
- Fixed Custom Mobs not despawning correctly. - Fixed some custom mobs picking up equipment.

Additions:
- Added individual options to disable mobs per storm in the config.

General Changes:
- Removed the "Use Custom Mobs" from the config.
- Moved the configuration option for Scorched Mobs to GammaRay. (GammaRay.UseCustomMobs) to keep it in line with Acidrain.
- Fixed Acidrain and GammaRays overriding custom mobs from other plugins.

Additions:
- Added more notes to the config.yml to explain things a bit better.

Changes:
- Completed removed all deprecated methods in the 1.13 version.
- Fixed a bug where acidic mobs would not despawn.
- Fixed a bug where acidic mobs wouldn't spawn at all.
- Fixed a bug where Acid Rain would either constantly start or not start at all. (finally found the cause)
- Fixed a bug where Gamma Ray Bursts would either constantly start or not start at all. (same as above)
- Cleaned up some of the project code.

Notes: I'm thinking about either removing the custom mobs entirely or re-working them a bit differently to have a chance to spawn during storms instead of replacing all mobs. I think having it as a chance would be better for the general population. I could also set it as a chance so you could have a % of the mobs be acidic which would also allow for all acidic or a small percentage to be acidic.

I'll also be adding a feature where you can allow players to toggle the effects of the weather, for example if some of your players want a more hardcore experience they can have that but others can have it disabled too.

General Changes:

• Changed how events are called for custom mobs;
• Removed 4 events that have been replaced by less resource intensive methods;
• Changed some deprecated methods to the 1.13 API. (Still have some left to do);
• Removed some unused methods that are no longer needed.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been very busy this last month. Updates should continue as normal on the 24th of January. Thanks for being patient with me!

Hello there!

I have decided that I will be moving away from 1.12.2 and supporting 1.13 and higher versions from now on. However, this build will contain everything that should be working and needed if you are using this on a 1.12.2 server. If there are any bugs and or errors, I will be happy to fix them and update the legacy build.

If you are using 1.13 or higher, you can continue to download the non-legacy builds as they will be updated frequently as well.

Changes:

• Removed coloration from console related messages;
• Fixed the reload message in console not displaying a [PyroWeatherPro] tag if ran from inside console.

• Added an option to customise the prefix of the help command list and the admin help list;

Additions:

• Added world guard support to Acidrain;
