v7.8

• Tweak the Rainbow Wool clearing animation
• Optimize clearing animation tasks
• Add 1.20 support
• Fix a bug where "Token-Item" in the config had no effect.
• Fix missing characters on internal messages

v7.7
This update is long overdue, but finally adds support for 1.18 and 1.19 servers. AnimatedInventory worked on these versions previously, but would occasionally have some hiccups that have now been patched with this update.

• Updated for 1.18 and 1.19
• Fixed error when using BARRIER particles on versions higher than 1.17
• Switched updater to use GitHub repo rather than Spigot
• Switch from MetricsLite.java to maven Metrics
• Add null safe operations for improved stability

v7.6.3
This is a very minor update that adds support for 1.17 and makes some slight optimizations throughout the plugin. AnimatedInventory has not been tested on 1.17 yet, but in theory this update should support it just fine!

v7.6.2

• Fixed an error on 1.16 related to the GUI.

v7.6.1

• This update adds 1.16 and 1.16.1 support to AnimatedInventory.

v7.6

• Introducing a new Confirm Prompt! This is a GUI that will appear asking the user if they wish to clear their inventory. You can disable this by settings "confirm-prompt" in the config to false.
• This update also adds One Time Use Backups. With this, you can now let your users undo/clear their own inventory and not worry as much about duplication glitches. (be weary of duplication glitches that can occur such as selling items to a shop and then undoing a clear). By default, "one-time-use" is enabled in the config which prevents restoring your own inventory more than once.

v7.5.5

• This update focuses on some general optimizations to the overall plugin to help keep this version running smooth. Thanks for using AnimatedInventory! (v7.5.4)
• Fixes an error that is thrown when a player drops an item from their inventory. (v7.5.5)

v7.5.3

• Made some minor optimizations to the overall plugin.
• Fixed unnecessary string conversions.
• Cleaned up some formatting.
• Removed unused player variables from Particle handlers.
• Built around latest 1.15.2 version.
• Fixed improper encapsulation/class security.

v7.5.1

• Build around the latest Spigot 1.15.1 version.
• Improved startup time by preventing emergency clear checking when nobody is online.
• Removed deprecated "send-message" event from the API
• Improved overall event integrity within the Main class.
• Fixed disabled worlds saving as an Array (in-order) when it should've been a List (no specific order).
• Fixed slot skipping also using ArrayList, now implementing List.
• Removed legacy sound methods leftover from older versions.
• Overall cleanup & improvements to smoothen out the plugin.

v7.5

• Added 1.15 Support. (Now supports 1.13, 1.14 and 1.15)
• Changed Actionbar messages from NMS to a more reliable long-term method.
• Added a PlayerFortuneEnd API event.
• Made join events async to allow even faster connection times for players.
• Fixed some events possibly not registering.

What's New?

• Added a new Fire Ball clearing animation!
• Fixed CommandSender being called when Player should've been.
• Fixed an error that could occur if players changed worlds and left real quickly.
• Fixed emergency clear/fortune cancelled messages not having a prefix. Poor messages...
• Significantly improved the slot-switching performance by only setting/checking the boolean on the start of a clear, instead of during every, single, slot change.
• Fixed a typo on the prevent slot change config check. (Thanks @jellz)
• Removed a plugin check in the onEnable that slowed the plugin a bit on startup.
• Added 3 new events to the API for developers to use. (See the wiki)
• Fixed players being able to save inventory items when switching worlds by preventing teleportation during clears/fortunes.
• Fixed issue with latest 1.14.4 spigot regarding keep-inventory and drops not being cancelled. (Not tested with 1.13.X yet)
• Organized the API into its own neat little corner instead of jumbled with the main package.
• Other bug fixes + optimizations.

API CHANGE NOTICE: This update changes the location of the api to a new package. If you have any instances of the AnimatedInventory API in your plugin, please use the latest jar to import us from the correct package location.

What's New?

• Removed 1.12 support for the time being, as I forgot it is still using legacy minecraft ID's and data values.
• Added slot-skipping feature in the config to skip certain slots. For slot numbers, see here.
• Added clear-armor in the config under clearing. When set to false, armor slots will not be cleared!
• Fixed a warning message being shown on plugin disable saying the server was running a "Legacy Version".
• Other bug fixes & performance fixes.

What's New?

• Fixed possible memory leak when using /ai clear.
• Fixed the Updater possibly throwing an error instead of a nice pretty console message.
• Fixed users being able to place the Water Bucket.
• Improved 1.14.3 performance.
• Added back 1.13.2 support

What's New?

• Changes file saving and purging to be Async as to not affect performance.
• Updated API with latest Spigot build.
• Fixed a possible memory leak on reloading the server.
• Fixed configured worlds not loading correctly on startup.

IMPORTANT:
From AnimatedInventory v7.0 and forward, we will only be supporting 1.13 and higher. For older versions, please use THIS version here.

Using 1.12 or below?
If you are using 1.12 or below, only use v6.4 and below.
It's also recommended that older clients disable update notifications in their config.yml, as they will continue to receive notifications for newer versions they can not use.

Why drop 1.12 & below?

What's New?

• Added complete 1.14 support.
• Fixed inconsistencies in 1.13's utilization of Actionbar messages.

A Quick Message:
Hi there! I normally try to not do too many of these, but pursuing my education, finding time for AnimatedInventory, and time for my family and myself is extremely draining. All of my resources are, and always will be free. In order to keep these resources updated, I have to spend hours testing to make sure everything is compatible. Fortunately, 1.14 was one of the easier updates to add support for

But you know who has supported me through all of this? Coffee. Please help me fuel my chronic caffeine addiction, by donating your spare change. It could be a few cents, to enough to buy out my local brewery. Joking aside, if you have anything you'd wish to contribute, I'd be more than appreciative

What's New?
This update replaces the world's most inefficient and laggy update checker, with a new Asynchronous update checker. While this may not seem like alot, you will certainly notice a difference.

The Nitty Gritty:

• Fixes extremely inefficient update checking system.
• Addresses a rare memory leak with the inventory HashMap.
• Removed redundant calls to classes that didn't exist.
• Noticeably improved connection join time for operators.
• Added preparations for 1.14 servers.
• Removed version compatibility check. (Redundant)
• Improved Actionbar fallback system for 1.14
• Cleaned up console messages.
• Removed 'delay-check' & 'last-update-check' from config.

Quick Fix:
This update fixes the following & was reuploaded to fix some API issues.

• Unexpected error thrown when checking for updates if connection is offline.
• NullException error when doing /ai clear from console.
• API fixes that could have affected fortunes being used.
• Added AnimatedInventoryAPI.getPluginVersion() to the API
• Made the result of fortunes show for a bit longer.
• Fixed a rare error that could occur if Metrics were enabled.
• Fixes players being able to place blocks when using the API call event
• Fixes players being able to move/save blocks & items when using the API

There are no configuration changes in this update!

What's New?
This update fixes so many bugs & issues that I can't even recall all the things fixed... but here are the important things fixed:

• Fixed players being able to pickup items when clearing doing fortunes.
• Fixed players being able to duplicate/save their items if they do a fortune before dying.
• Fixed the message on death when having a fortune or clearing not showing its prefix.
• Improved Actionbar messages and rerouted them to our much more efficent Msgs.class
• Added an AnimatedInventoryAPI for any developer to use
• Added a "Command not found" message to the config to be configured.
• Added a suggestion if player does /ai undo instead of /ai undoclear
• Fixed /ai purge not allowing users with permission to execute it.
• Fixed /ai undo not allowing users to use it if there isn't a player provided. (Self inflicting)
• Fixed the /ai help menu showing the wrong command for /ai undoclear
• Fixed "prevent-place" in the config not working.
• Fixed /ai toggle causing issues if all animations are off.
• Addressed a typo on the developer message on join.
• Added more debug messages to help better diagnose things.
• Fixed an error message showing if AnimatedInventory is placed in a Bungee environment. (AnimatedInventory is not a Bungee plugin)
• Fixed target message when doing /ai undoclear (player) not dividing the long integer into its proper unit.

Quick Fix:
This update fixes the individual animations not being able to be toggled in the config.yml. In addition, it changes/improves the randomness of clearing animations. Also we added a disabled worlds section under clearing & fortunes.

This update has new configuration changes, however, they should be added automatically without any problem.

Upgrading from v5.3 or below?
Normally, when I roll out updates to this resource, I try my best to make your config auto-update and play nicely with the new releases. However, this will not update your config. Instead, it will save your old one as a backup and use the new format. You will have to manually move your settings & messages to the new config. Sorry!

Heads Up!
While tons of testing has occurred with this release, I encourage you to report any bugs that you have with this resource. As some features such as Inventory Backups are a tad experimental.

What's New?
+ Fixed unnecessary import & API's
+ Fixed an error when trying to do fortunes if they were toggled off.
+ Console is no longer limited to just /ai reload. They now get the full experience.
+ Fixed a few issues regarding ViaVersion/ProtocolSupport/Essentials checks that could have caused compatibility issues.
+ Improved a few checks & console messages.
+ Other various improvements & fixes.

This is a Long Term Release. The next update will be sometime in March unless an issue occurs.

What's New?
+ Fixed permission layout. (No longer needs permission system)
+ Fixed auto-suggestion in 1.13+ for cmds w/o permission.
+ Better prepared for 1.14 servers. (Brace yourself...)
+ Fixed weird messages in the config after an update.
+ Optimizations & improvements.

Quick Fix:
Fixed /ai fortune (player) not working and misusing the wrong player for the HashMap.

Quick Fix:
Fixed an issue where /ai fortune (player) wouldn't work.
