+ New animations!
- Dominos (left to right and right to left) comes into play! They are the exact same animations, but the text that has been changed stays modified!

- Brought back the Bounce animation that was removed in 1.0.8! Enjoy!

Hey, I'm back for another small update. On the house!

+ Added a message when joining the server alerting OPd players if an update is available
+ Lowered java version to Java 17 to allow servers running before 1.21 to run

Hope you enjoy!

Animated Nicknames 2.0.2 Changelog

Hey everyone! Noticed a few bugs that came with the Folia update, so update time!

+ Using the /animatednicknames command without any arguments now opens the menu instead of prompting the usage message
+ Fixed a bug where disabling your own animation disabled everyone's

Animated Nicknames 2.0.1 Changelog

Hello everyone! Just like Top Luck, AN has been broken past 1.20.5 due to ItemMeta changes. So here comes compatibility!

+ 1.20.5+ compatibility! Here is what got fixed:
- The menu buttons now work again and people can't steal items from it anymore

Also, I've ran out of ideas for animations to add to the plugin. If you've got any, don't hesitate to drop by the suggestions channel on the Discord server!
Enjoy!

Animated Nicknames 2.0.0 Changelog

Hey, it's been a fair while since I Last updated this plugin, right? Well here I am after 4 weeks of coding, with tons of new stuff!
Since Animated Nicknames didn't have a "proper" 1.0.0 version, and since I changed so much stuff, I decided that making this 2.0.0 would be appropriate enough.
Here are said changes, enjoy!

+ Full Folia compatibility! You can now have your username be even cooler... with even more CPU power at your disposal!
+ Rewrite preferences choice storage system to be in individual player files rather than using PersistentDataContainers
+ Added Hex checking so you can only put an actual hex code with /animatednicknames custom
+ Custom colors using hex codes are now fixed in Minecraft's vanilla tab (no tab plugin) because it was somehow broken since it was implemented
+ You can now change the color and decoration of your animation without having to restart it!
+ Loading animation! The loaded part of your username is green, the part that's loading is orange and the unloaded is red! (Oh and of course, just like actual loading bars, the time between letters loading will be completely random)
+ The animation/decoration you've selected will now show up as purple when going in the respective menus!
+ Fixed error that prevented the plugin from loading if PlaceholderAPI wasn't present on the server
- Removed unused command and class from the very first versions of the plugin
- Removed plugin message listener since it wasn't used (that was from the Velocity compatibility update)

Animated Nicknames 1.1.1 Changelog

Another update! This one fixes preview and adds one useful config entry.. but that's not all as 2 new animations make their entrance!

Fixed preview not working most of the time

+ New config entry: placeholder-fallback
When your animation is off, the plugin will use the placeholder you set on this setting to display in tab
+ Introducing 2 new animations!
Go police style with a police siren animation!
Or you can also become even more rainbow by coloring your name of a random color from the rainbow every few moments!

Enjoy this one!

Animated Nicknames 1.1.0 Changelog

Fixed a bug where previewing your animation didn't work unless you had your animation turned on
Deleted the 2 old config entries and added "using-proxy-tab", only make it true if your tab plugin is on a proxy
Known bug: Preview does not work if your server uses a proxy tab plugin, will be fixed in 1.1.1

+ Support for proxy tab plugins! Follow the installation steps in the plugin's overview to set it up!

Hope you enjoy this update, though small it is really cool!

Animated Nicknames 1.0.9 Changelog

Hey, it's been a while since I've updated any of my plugins!
Sorry for the small hiatus, school happened. However, keep your eyes peeled as an update for Towny Spawn Menu is also on the way!
Hope you enjoy this update!

+ Added a nickname option to change the username that gets animated!
+ Added placeholders! Add PlaceholderAPI to use them with plugins who also support PAPI
> %an_nickname% - Nickname the player chose (returns their name if they don't have one)
> %an_formatted% - The player's animated nickname (This is slow due to PAPI limitations, I hope to fix this in the next update!)
> %an_animation% - The animation the player chose
> %an_colour% - The colour the player chose
> %an_decoration% - The text decoration the player chose
+ New permission:
> animatednicknames.nickname - Allows the user to set a nickname in tab (shown only when name is animated)

- Deleted the /give-item command and permission as it was useless
- Fixed the following bugs:
> Opening the menu for the first time threw an error
> Enabling your animation for the first time threw an error
> Previewing your animation without enabling or disabling it first threw an error

As always, feedback and suggestions are appreciated! Please join my Discord for those!

Made the update a week ago, I wouldn't be able to tell what changed exactly besides the removal of an animation because it wouldn't work anymore.
It did fix some bugs and some console spam.
Next changelog will be an actual one, I promise.
