Announcement:
This version is probably the last to support Minecraft < 1.17 and Java < 17. I have been limited far too long with the old version capabilities, it is now time to move on.
If important bugs are discovered on this release, I'll fix it in a manner that is compatible to older servers but new features will require newer versions in the future.

Changelog:

• Bugfixes in some versions
• Removed SkillAPI and ProSkillAPI integrations in favor of Fabled
• Added support for Minecraft 1.21(.1)
• Fixed issues with world patterns resetting during quest edition
• Added /quests resetPool <pool id> command, which works in a similar manner to the /quests resetQuest command: it removes all data for all players for the specified pool
• Made the "keep player data" button always visible when editing a quest in the creation GUI. Its old behavior was too confusing.
• Updated wrong vietnamese translation
• Updated LevelledMobs integration
• Added selectors (such as @a) support for /quests scoreboard show/hide <player>
• Fixed bugs with BlueMap
• Fixed bugs with WildLoaders
• Fixed wrong NPC name displayed in dialog history
• Fixed bug in "place blocks" or "break blocks" editor with non-item blocks (such as Cocoa)
• MythicMobs can now serve as NPCs!
  • To be used properly that way, each MythicMob that serves as an NPC must have at most 1 active mob. If more than 1 mob are spawned, then the behavior is undefined.
• Added StackMob integration to count all the mobs in a mob stack when killing them
• Added configuration options for the 3 tabs of the /quests menu. You can now customize the icon and the color of the separator bar. Default values:
  
  Code (YAML):

    # - Quests Menu -
    # Options related to the "/quests" menu
    questsMenu :
      # Configuration of the tabs in the menu
      tabs :
        # This tab shows the quests the player has previously completed.
        finished :
          # Whether the tab will appear in the menu
          enabled : true
          # The icon in the bar at the right
          icon : BOOK
          # The color of the vertical separator (if enabled)
          color : GREEN
        # This tab shows the quests currently being done by the player.
        in progress:
          enabled : true
          icon : WRITABLE_BOOK
          color : YELLOW
        # This tab shows the quests the player can start.
        not started:
          enabled : true
          icon : PAPER
          color : RED

First time using 1.0?
Read the changelog and migration notice here!
Make sure to completely delete the /plugin/BeautyQuests/locales directory before upgrading.
Remember, you cannot go back after updating! Make a backup of the whole BeautyQuests folder just in case.

What changed since build 383:

• Fixed "scoreboard" requirement
• Fixed some dialog lines not having placeholders parsed
• Fixed outdated migration to DB algorithm
• Fixed bugs when filling entirely a page of rewards or requirements
• Fixed errors when running the plugin on Java 8
• Updated translations
• Added Finish and Danish translations
• Added some logging to understand issues with inventories
• Fixed custom mob name and minimum level not being updated in the GUI while editing mobs to kill
• Added a "DISABLED" mention to the "validation requirements" button of the "wait some time" stage
• Fixed the NPC selection editor not working for "kill mobs" stage
• Fixed error popping in console when scoreboards failed to enable
• Made plugin extra resilient to lack of data for a stage
• Added player selector support for pool start command
• Fixed dynmap integration not working
• Added offline modes to "play time" stage
• Fixed item creator GUI not refreshing properly
• Players cannot place quest items as blocks anymore
• When setting "none" as the custom stage description, the stage will no longer appear in the scoreboard if there are other stages to branch with (this allows to make hidden stages)

Added some customization to the GUIs:

• Previous page and next page buttons can now be configured separately as two configuration settings in the new "gui" section (see below)
• You can now customize more deeply the page item, for instance, by adding custom model data to them
• Added a new configuration setting "vertical separator" that can be used to remove the column of glass pane in most GUIs. This gives 5 more slots to show objects.

Here is an example of utilisation of the new options, as well as a texture pack and custom fonts:

Warnings & migration informations
This is a beta. Because there are more than 30'000 lines of code that has changed, precaution must be taken. Make a backup before upgrading. Try this version on a development server before the production one. Extensions will break (BeautyQuestsAddon for instance, but I'm working with its author to update is quickly).
Once you've upgraded to 1.0, you cannot go back to 0.20 or 0.21.

I did my best to make all migrations happen automatically, but some points of caution must be taken:

• some strings will look weird, because of the placeholders system that has changed. Your best bet is to completely delete the /plugin/BeautyQuests/locales directory before upgrading.
• because you can now have multiple NPC plugins, the format in which the npc ids are stored has changed. Migration should happen automatically, but you may have some warnings in console if NPCs are nowhere found.
• as stated further down, the skillAPIoverride option has been deleted. If you've been using it, you must therefore replace your "vanilla" XP rewards with the new SkillAPI XP reward.
• many options in config.yml have been renamed or moved. It should happen automatically but... who knows? Backup config.yml as well!

Changelog
Code-wise:

• Completely separated the api, the features and the integrations in different modules. This will help future development, and will make extension development easier for external developers.
• Rewritten most of the plugin to allow more flexbility in future features. This means cleaner code, less bugs and hopefully a performance boost!
• Deployed javadocs and sources artifacts of the API on the Maven repository

NPCs integrations:

• Having an NPC plugin is no longer mandatory to use BeautyQuests This means anybody can now simply download the plugin and run it without any dependency to add.
• You can now have NPCs from multiple NPCs plugins. For instance, some of your NPCs come from Citizens, and some others from ZNPCs. Changed how most stages handle progress:
• all stages that have some kind of progress can now have a progress bar (e.g. "eat food", "craft items" or "play time")
• you can now configure much more finely the description of stages with progress in config.yml
• added integration for ZNPCsPlus (both pre-2.0 and post-2.0)
• upgraded support for ZNPCs from 3.6 to 4.2

Placeholders:

• All placeholders in strings are now named and no longer indexed.
• For instance: Level {short_level} for {job_name} replaced Level {0} for {1}
• This is 1. much more easier to understand when translating the plugin
• And 2. an amazing thing to allow much more personalized messages, because there are now many different placeholders for every message.

Rewards/requirements

• By popular request, the remove button for rewards and requirements from middle-click to shift + left-click
• Added a way to configure the reason sent in the chat when a player wants to start a quest but does not meet a requirement
• Added a way to configure the description of rewards and requirements in the quest description shown in the menu
• Fixed issue with requirement reason order

Quest selection:
Reworked quest selection GUI (the menu that appears when a player clicks on an NPC): the description, rewards and requirements of quests are now shown. It is also now more configurable:

Code (YAML):

# - Quest selection -

# Options related to the behavior when a player click on an NPC which has associated quests
questsSelection :
  # If enabled, the "choose a quest from this NPC" GUI will not open if there is only 1 quest attached to the NPC
  skip gui if only one quest : true
  # Hide quests from the GUI if the requirements are not met
  hide quests without requirement : true

Misc. changes:

• The GPS integration has been removed and is now a tracker in the expansion
• The skillAPIoverride config.yml option has been deleted. Instead, a new reward type has been created: "SkillAPI XP Reward"
• Placeholders are now parsed by default in command rewards
• Checkpoints are now using the "quest flow" feature to follow the path players have taken during the quest
• Changed middle-click to shift-left-click to remove items from GUIs
• Added %beautyquests_quest_restartable_ID% placeholder to get whether a quest is restartable or not
• Added support for 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2
• Added MMOItems item comparison
• Fixed multiple exceptions
• Fixed an issue with the "parse placeholders" option of "write in chat" stage not working
• Added "max messages per history page" dialog option in config.yml
• Changed some quest pool give logic, this will probably fix issues with the "avoid duplicates" pool option. This will also allow users to use the "yes/no" GUI to accept or not quests from the pool!

Changelog:

• Added support for 1.19.3 and 1.19.4
• Added lot of debug logs for player data loading
• Updated lot of translations, added Brazilian Portuguese translations
• Added the {3} placeholder for stageDescriptionItemsSplit.amountFormat config option. It represents the progression as a percentage.
• Added "skip npc gui if only one quest" config option, which defaults on "true"
• Added "hide unknown quest placeholders" scoreboard config parameter, which allows to hide lines such as ones containing the {quest_time_limit} placeholder from the Expansion when the current quest does not have a time limit
• Made block type name customizable for Mine/Place blocks stages.
  • Helpful when using block tags such as minecraft:iron_ores, now you can have the counter with a pretty name such as "Iron Ores".
• Refactored how stage with progression work internally (kill mobs, eat/fish/enchant/melt items, place/break blocks).
  • Code is now cleaner and will allow more customization in the future.
  • Migration will happen automatically.
  • Once quests are migrated, there is no way to come back unless you restore a backup.
    
  • Updated "kill mobs" and "mine/place blocks" stage edition GUIs to allow more than 8 mobs.
• Added "ItemsAdder ID" item comparison for "bring/craft/melt/enchant/fish/eat/drink items" stages
  
• Added "none" keyword to the "asking message" editor for "bring items" stage
  
• Internally reworked data management to be handled fully asynchronously => it will prevent the server from crashing when the database connection is lost
  
• Added the /quests pools start <player> <pool> command
• Moved /quests resetPlayerPool to /quests pools resetPlayer

Fixes:

• Fixed issues in 1.8
• Fixed "quest limit" feature not working correctly
• Fixed issues with "quest stop" reward for branches
• "region exit" stage is now working correctly with WorldGuard 7
• Fixed WildStacker on 1.8
• Fixed bugs with "fill buckets" stage
• Fixed scoreboard not being used at its full width
• Fixed hex colors not working in scoreboard
• Fixed equipment requirement not checking item amount
  
• Added database auto-reconnect option
  
• Potion of the Turtle Master is now correctly displayed in stage description
  
• Made logger file encoded in UTF-8
• Improved TPS by a lot when using znpcs

Hey! It's been a long time. How have you been? I've been really busy programming 0.20. So let's go for the changelog.

New stages, requirements...

• Added a "Die" stage, which gets completed when players... die.
  
  • You can choose which death reasons are acceptable (drowning, getting killed by an entity, falling from too high...)
• Added Equipment requirement: you can now choose which item a player has to hold in its hand, which helmet it must wear...
  
• Added Deal Damage stage type: this stage will get completed once player deals a specific amount of damage to configurable mob types
  
• Added "Eat or drink" stage type, which works for every type of consumable items: food, milk bucket, potions...
  
• "Craft item" stages now work for items melted through a furnace (or smoker or blast furnace) and items "crafted" using a smithing table (netherite items)
  
• In a "Kill mobs" stage, you can now choose the target level of mobs to kill from the MythicMobs and LevelledMobs plugins

Quests menu

• GUI description for quests is now modulable, which means external developers are now able to add their own custom lines!
• Quest description and rewards are now shown in the "in progress" and "finished" tabs.
  
• Added a quest option "Visibility" to choose specifically in which tabs of the menu the quest should appear. This option also allows you to enable or not the marker on your dynamic map (dynmap or BlueMap)

New commands interface

• Switched the custom command framework to Lamp.
• This allows for more advanced command features (such as flags, i.e. /quests start ... -overrideRequirements instead of a nameless true at the end of the command)
• This allows for Mojang's Brigadier to be used: arguments now have proper names and coloring.
• This allows for player selectors! The finishAll, resetPlayer, cancel, finish and start commands now accepts multiple players (i.e. /quests start @a[distance=0..50] 12)

Scoreboard quest tracker

• Quest tracker in the scoreboard now has more attached placeholders: quest name, quest advancement, quest description, quest rewards (and time left for the expansion)
• Renamed placeholders {questName} to {quest_name} and {questDescription} to {quest_advancement} in scoreboards (backward compatibility is kept)
  
• This allows to dynamically get informations about the quest currently being shown

Versions and plugins support

• Added support for Minecraft 1.19
• Dropped support for Minecraft 1.10, 1.11, 1.13 and 1.14
  
• Added support for MythicMobs 5
• Added support for HolographicDIsplays 3
• Added support for PaperMC API-specific features (for the moment, it is only used to prevent quest items from being dropped on death)
• Added AdvancedSpawners integration
  
• Updated BlueMap integration (now works with 3.3 and higher only)
• Added DecentHolograms integration to show holograms. (nothing different with the HolographicDisplays integration)
  
• Added LevelledMobs integration
  
• Added WildStacker integration: when killing a whole stack of entities, all of the mobs are now counted for the quest

Data change

• Changed player data structures in database and files.
• Stage datas are no longer saved in one the 5 previously available slots (stage_0_datas, stage_1_datas...). They are now saved in a list.
• This is more efficient and is a lot more flexible, which means that more complex systems of stages or branching will come in the future
• This fixed a bug with SQL rows being created multiple times and bloating the database (some tables which previously had hundreds of thousands of rows will now only contain a few thousands).
• All the changes in database will be made automatically, and duplicated rows will get deleted.
• For the DB migration to happen gracefully, the database user must have the permission to do ALTER actions.
  
• In the case of very large servers, the DB migration may take some time to happen. Some extra caution must be taken, so please come talk to me on Discord.
• Database system has been revamped and now uses the widely-used HikariCP connection pool. This means performance improvements and probably less weird issues related to database connection.
  
• Sped up database data storage by making proper use of primary keys. The performance improvement will be huge on large databases.

PlayerBlockTracker

• Added an integration with the PlayerBlockTracker plugin
• If the plugin is enabled on your server and the BQ config.yml option "usePlayerBlockTracker" is set to true (enabled by default) then BeautyQuests will use PlayerBlockTracker's advanced block tracking capabilities to prevent players from completing a "mine X blocks" stage with player-placed blocks (to prevent exploits)
• In comparison with BeautyQuests integrated block tracking system, this allows:
  • to track blocks moved using pistons
  • to track blocks placed by other players
  • to track blocks across time: the data is persistent and no longer lost after a server restart
• Available here: https://github.com/Flo0/PlayerBlockTracker/releases

Reworked most of the API

• Probably all external code will fail to work until updated correctly. It is mostly methods/classes/fields renaming though.
• Added a whole new "Locatable" API which allows to fetch informations about where the player has to go in its quests
• Refactored internal player account loading system, now there is a better API to fetch account of offline players
  
• Exposed the "Locale" API
• Added "stage options" system for external plugins to save datas into stages
• Added "additional player datas" system to add more datas in a player account
• Quest objects (rewards and requirements) can now be (de)serialized using ConfigurationSection instead of Map<String, Object>, for better code readability
  
• Moved AbstractCountableStage to the new api.stages.types package
  
• ...and more, check it out by yourself

Miscellaneous changes and fixes

• The "list" command in multi-line editors now show line numbers
• Added the ability to remove the pool from a quest by shift-clicking
  
• Sounds of messages on dialogs are now cutted out when players skip a message
  
• Made some "list" GUI sorted by name
  
• Edited the "npcClick" config option from a single choice to a list of clicks.
  • Available clicks are: LEFT, RIGHT, SHIFT_LEFT, SHIFT_RIGHT.
• Fixed issues where multiple stages can get completed at the same time
• Fixed the "blockdata" editor filling unspecified block datas with their default values
  
• Fixed the "quest item" option editor allowing for non-item materials (such as fire), which caused the quest item to disappear entirely from the menu
  
• Fixed errors on PaperMC when using asynchronous rewards
  
• Fixed dialog history still opening whereas disabled in config.yml
  
• Fixed the "interact with" stage being completed twice
  
• Fixed an issue with holograms disappearing
  
• Added missing translations, updated FR, RU, VI, ES, IT, PL, CN, TH, HU locales
• Added UK locale
• Fixed the active quest description when players were in an async start/end of quest
  
• Fixed several issues with 1.8
  
• When a backup is created (when updating the plugin for instance), player datas also get "backuped" (only if using the YAML storage system)
  
• Fixed crafting exploit
  
• Fixed timer not being tested in /quests start <player> <quest id>
  
• Fixed bugs on quests launched automatically on first join
  
• Fixed a bug with "interact with block at" when the world is unloaded at startup
  
• Made player removed from inventory system when it crashes during the GUI opening (this may have caused item exploits)
  
• Added bStats metrics for dependencies
  
• Fixed wrong message being sent for "bring back items" stage
• Fixed empty message being sent for the same stage when the message is set to "null"
• Added a per-player limit of launcheable quests using permissions: beautyquests.start.X
  
• Made some changes in order to allow creating quests in symbolic linked folders
  
• Quests that are not in progress can no longer be cancelled using /quests cancel (why was this even possible?)

And, last but not least...
The BeautyQuests Expansion!
As I always wanted BeautyQuests to be free (and it will always stay free), I released a premium Expansion, which contains some sweet additional features that can be sweet when creating a server, such as:

• Multiple advanced ways to track targets (glowing entities, particles outline for blocks and regions...)
• Time limit for quests
• Statistic stage (with support for all of the 80+ statistics of vanilla Minecraft)
• Quest points and leaderboards

All of these features are available if you purchase the expansion from here, for the price of 5€. It is a way to support me
The expansion is still in an "early access" kind of stage: I plan on adding a lot more features in it, but it already contains enough things to be useful!

So long!

Hello there! It's been 2 months since I have published the 0.19 pre-release and... I have added a lot of things during those months haha. I think 0.19 is now sufficiently stable to be pushed to production servers and be called a "release". Enjoy!
Please be aware that your addon plugins will break unless developers have updated them. Many things have changed, but it's simply renaming, so updating can be done really quick.

Dialogs history:
When using BeautyQuests to create storylines with many dialogs and lore, it can be very valuable for players to have a place to read the text after they have seen it. I introduce you: the Dialogs History.
In the "/quests" menu, players can right click on a quest they are currently doing or a quest that they finished to see the dialogs.

As it uses a new data "quest flow" added in this update, the players will only be able to see dialogs played after the update.
This feature can be disabled with the config.yml parameter dialogs.history.

Holograms:

• Added support for HolographicDisplays version 3.x.x (for 1.18)
• Optimized code for HolographicDisplays integrations and visibility calculation.
  
• Fixed some issues with holograms-related options not showing in quest edition GUI when using CMI
• Made the "launcheable" item hologram take priority over the "not launcheable" hologram for NPCs
• If the player has to talk to a NPC for a stage, other potential holograms will be hidden (in example if there are other launcheable quests on the NPC)

Custom quest item:
The option "custom quest material" now accepts fully customizable item This means that you can now use... custom heads!
Drag and drop items from your inventory to the edition GUI


"Play time" stages:
When players have a "wait some time" stage launched, they will now see a descriptive message of the remaining time (in real-time!) instead of a vague duration in ticks message.
When editing the stage duration, you can now use units like "minutes" or "days".
Fixed an error when the plugin unloads while a player is online with a "play time" stage.


Stage end rewards message:
Added the config option stageEndRewardsMessage (enabled by default).
If this option is enabled and players are given some rewards at the end of a stage, they will see a nice "You obtain xxx" message, similar to the one at the end of a quest.

New updater:
When using dev builds and a new one has been pushed, the updater will warn you about it.
When using SpigotMC released builds and a new update has been released, the updater will also warn you.

Cancel actions:
Added "cancel actions" quest option.
When creating a quest, you can now select a list of rewards which will be given to the player when it cancels the quest.
This cannot accept async rewards such as "wait".

Quest fireworks:
Added "ending fireworks" quest option.
Fireworks launched at quests end can now be customised!
Added the command /quests setFirework [none]. It will change the default firework with the one in your main one, or simply delete it if "none" is specified.
Added an option in the quests edition GUI to drop your custom firework into the quest.


New "startDialog" command
Added the /quests startDialog <player> <questID> command.
When the player have not yet started the quest and there is a starting dialog, the command will make this dialog start.
When the player is doing the quest and is in the stage where it has to click on a NPC, the command will make the dialog start.

Scoreboard toggle:
Added the permission beautyquests.command.scoreboard.toggle (given to players by default).
If players are given this permission, they will be able to run the command /quests scoreboard (with no other arguments) to make their scoreboard hide/show.


Dialog-related changes:

• When using "§r" in formatted messages (such as dialog ones), the color and formatting will come back to default and not fallback to white
  
• NPCs will now stop walking around (if paths are configured) while players are talking with them
• Reworked config.yml: all dialogs-related options are moved to a new "dialogs" config section. The migration of your old options should be automatic
• Added a "skippable" option for dialogs
  • Added dialogs.defaultSkippable config option
  • If a dialog is set to be skippable, players which shift-click on the NPC will skip the entire dialog
• Added dialogs.defaultPlayerSound and dialogs.defaultNPCSound config options.
  • Default to "none"
  • If no other sound is specified in the dialog, those sounds will be used.

Sentinel:

• Added Sentinel integration
• You are now able to use 2 new types for your targets/ignores/avoids:
  • quest_in:QUEST_ID matches players with the quest QUEST_ID started
  • quest_finished:QUEST_ID matches players which have finished the quest QUEST_ID

Quests config options:

• Added nextStageSound config option. Defaults to ITEM_FIRECHARGE_USE
  
• Created the questsMenu config section, for menu-related options. allowPlayerCancelQuest and menuOpenNotStartedTabWhenEmpty have been moved to this section.
• Added the questsMenu.enabledTabs config option.
  • Defaults to [NOT_STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, FINISHED].
  • It decides which of the tabs are shown in the /quests menu.

New rewards or requirements:

• Added "remove items from inventory" reward
  
• Added "random rewards", which contains a list of rewards to pick from and "min" and "max" bounds to decide how many rewards will be given to the players
• Added comparison type picker for placeholder requirement, when targeting a number: you can now select that the value of a placeholder for a player must be lower, greater, different... than a parameter

Miscellaneous:

• Added BlueMap integration (similar with dynmap)
• BQ is now only compatible with 1.18.1 (no 1.18)
• Fixed the "/quests resetPlayerPool" command
• Optimized code in various places

Hello there! It's been more than a year since no update has been released here, but development has continued under the hood, with various interesting additions, many bugfixes, new plugin integrations, and much more!
This build is not the full 0.19 release but is a snapshot, which means there can still be bugs and other weird things. Be cautious!

Quest pools
This new addition allows you to create "groups" of quests, which we name "pools". Those pools, once created and attached to NPCs, will give random quests to players who request.
You can configure a timer between every quest given, a maximum amount of quests launched per pool for players, some requirements for players to use the pool...
To create or edit a pool, simply use the command /quests pools and use the GUI.
To attach a quest to a pool, edit the quest using /quests edit and click on the "quest pool" button to choose your pool.
To reset a pool, use the newly created command /quests resetPlayerPool <player> <pool id> [only timer: true|false]

Quests placeholder
Reworked the %beautyquests_started_ordered% placeholder.
The old config option "splittedAdvancementPlaceholderMax" has been removed
A new config section "startedQuestsPlaceholder" is now used to configure the placeholder.
Added %beautyquests_advancement_<quest ID>_raw% placeholder, which returns a single number:
-1 if the player has not started the quest
-2 if the player is in an ending stage (i.e. in branching)
≥0 the stage ID, if the player is currently doing the quest
Added the %beautyquests_player_finished_total_amount% placeholder which sums up how many time player have completed all the quests.
Added the %beautyquests_started_id_list% placeholder which returns a list of player started quests IDs, separated with ;

Translations downloading
Added /quests downloadTranslations <language> , which downloads from the internet the Vanilla Translation File right into the plugin directory.
It uses this GitHub repository by inventivetalent, which contains all Minecraft assets from version 1.0: https://github.com/InventivetalentDev/minecraft-assets/
This allows users to not have to search through weird .minecraft assets folder.

Items comparison system
When creating a "bring back items to NPC" stage, there is now a button to select how will the items be compared in order to complete the stage
For example, you can choose to make the plugin only look for a specific name, or name and lore, or everything except enchants...
Currently, it is used for those stages: Bring items, Fish items, Craft items.

Scoreboard world list
Added a new "worlds" config section in the scoreboard.yml file:
You can either choose to set this filter as a "block list" (default) or an "allow list".
Whenever the player changes world (through a portal or a teleport command), the scoreboard will be hidden/shown depending on if the new world matches this filter.

Colors!

• Added support for HEX colors in lang files and editors
• Rewritten the text wrapper. It now works with HEX colors as well and should now work 100% (no more white lines bugs in items lore)
• Format/color characters are no longer counted in the max line length.

Player datas

• YAML player datas are saved instantly to the disk when players leave the server.
• Enhanced performances for both YAML and SQL datas.
  
• Added exception handling for quests unload during plugin shutdown - this will no longer prevents player datas to save
• Prevented some issues with player datas when new player quits before their datas have been created
  
• (SQL) Added new configuration section database.tables which contains entries to customize DB table names: playerAccounts, playerQuests and playerPools.
• (SQL) Made data edition flush instantly at player logout/server shutdown.
  
• Fixed quest edition/quest removal causing data issues.
• Fix endless SQL UPDATE for timer (this will decrease drastically BeautyQuests DB calls for big servers).
  
• (SQL) player quest datas are forever lost when a quest gets removed.

Quest description
The "quest description" editor is now a multiline editor. This means you can use the "add", "remove", "insert", "list"... commands to manage your quest description.
Quest item lore is now formatted by default with rewards and requirements in the /quests menu.
Everything is customizable in config.yml in the section questDescription:


Plugin directory management
Backups of quests are no longer created when the plugin entirely fails to load them.
Backups of quests now keep the custom file name.
Quest files under the /plugins/BeautyQuests/quests/ directory can now be stored in separate folder to clear up the folder. This will not change anything in-game.
Example of folder hierarchy:
/plugins/BeautyQuests/quests/
-> 1.yml
-> 2.yml
-> weekly/
---> weekly3.yml
---> weekly4.yml
---> special/
-----> weekly SPECIAL 5.yml

Stages creation GUI

• Added the ability to move up/down stages in the creation GUI (see attached image)
• The "continue quest creation" button, which leads to the "quest creation GUI", is now disabled if no stages have been created.
• A tooltip is shown on the item to explain.

Block tags
Added the ability to choose a block tag for "mine blocks" and "place blocks" stage types.
It allows for instance to make a "mine x planks" or "place any type of stone".
A list of block tags is available here: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tag#Blocks

Plugin integrations

• Added SkillAPI Level Requirement
• Added TokenEnchant integration (blocks broken with exploding enchant are now counted in the "Break Blocks" stage type)
• Added compatibility with UltimateTimber to count all blocks broken at once
• Added compatibility with CMI 9.
• Added support for ProSkillAPI, a fork of SkillAPI available for free on SpigotMC: it adds the same integrations that the "true" SkillAPI support: a class requirement, a skill level requirement, and a config parameter to make XP reward give SkillAPI XP.

znpcs support
znpcs support is finally a thing! It can be used in place of Citizens, with the same functionalities:
- start quests by clicking on it
- dialogs for stages - NPC creation via GUI - display particles above
⚠ only one NPC plugin can be used with BeautyQuests (Citizens will take priority over znpcs if both are installed)
ℹ the version of znpcs released on SpigotMC is not compatible with this dev build. You'll have to download this version of znpcs (at your risks!).

Changes:

• Player datas storage has been completely reworked:

  • There are now two different storage systems:
    • YAML file per-player in a specific directory under /plugins/BeautyQuests, datas are saved at logout. enabled by default
    • SQL database, datas are saved pretty instantly and can be retrieved on several servers (the same player cannot be present on two servers are the same time) to be enabled in config.yml
  • You can migrate datas from YAML to SQL with the command /quests migrateDatas (more informations below)
• Mobs handling system has been reworked to be cleaner, better, faster, stronger. Developers can now easily add their own mobs with the new API.

• Added missing 1.15 materials
• Big code cleanup
• Fixed bugs with older and newer versions of MythicMobs (backward compatibility is not a thing with this plugin )

How to migrate datas from YAML to SQL:

1. If you are updating from an older version of BeautyQuests (ex. 0.16), don't setup anything about databases in config.yml and start the server. Once everything has started without problem, shutdown.
2. In config.yml, setup the credentials to connect to your database, but don't touch the "enabled" thing, let it on false. Start the server.
3. This operation may take a long time, depending on how much datas were previously on your server. Don't login on your server and execute from the console /beautyquests migrateDatas. A message should popup at the end of the operation. Shutdown the server.
4. Go back in config.yml and set "database.enabled" to true. Start the server. You're done!
