CHANGES IN 2.4.2

• Updated actionCooldown - now works for giving & claiming
• Added dailyClaimLimit - total number of items a player can claim in a day

config.yml should update automatically. messages.yml didn't update for me in testing, you will need to add the following to your messages.yml file.

Added 1.21.5 support, same features as v2.4!

I'm excited to announce the release of Charity v2.4, continuing full support for Minecraft 1.21.4, along with a range of improvements and fixes from the previous v2.3.

So, what is new in v2.4?

• Updated internal dependencies to match latest server versions for better stability and performance (v2.4.1 is 1.21.5 ready)
• Improved configuration mangement and stability
• Enhanced reporting and metrics options to better support troubleshooting.
• Fixed several minor bugs reported by the community since v2.3.
• Optimized item handling and point calculations for smoother gameplay experience.
• Updated third-party dependencies for improved security and compatibility
• Improved safeguards to ensure plugin data integrity.
• New Command: /ch points

This is a complete re-write of the plugin, from scratch!
You will need to delete any existing Charity plugin folders that exist, including all data files if you would like to use v2.4 - moving forward this will not be the case, this was a massive multi-day upgrade.

CHANGES IN 2.3

I did not have 7 hours worth of debugging in mind but here we are, finally fixed the issue from version 2.1 which was released earlier today. I do believe that this may cause some breaking changes, as quite a lot of the code was modified and being updated to support YAML fully & quite a few bug fixes.

If you installed 2.1 or 2.2 you may need to delete your Users folder in /plugins/Charity and data.yml aswell.

• Migrations - User's .yml files will automatically convert from a properties style config to yaml
• Cooldown Logic Fixed - Cooldown duration now correctly interpreted in seconds, not minutes
• Fixed Double-Karma Bug - Left-click no longer allows taking items back from the charity shop. Right-click correctly removes karma once when retrieving donated items
• System.out Warning - Noted warning from Paper about System.out.println usage. Planning to replace with getLogger() for cleaner console logs.
• Removed noItems from config.yml - Deleted noItems default line from an internal java file. Code fallback still exists but may need future refactor.
  
• YAML Integer Parsing Fix - Handled player stats stored as string values with quotes in data.yml & used some magic before parsing integers to avoid a number format exception. Same method used for user's .yml files!
  
• bStats is now added (as mentioned in version 2.2)

POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGES
Previously owned by _ReflexShow_, Charity is now owned by Ker35!

Since the last update, we have added support for 1.21.4 - tested on a PaperMC server. The plugin natively supported 1.15 however there has been quite a few changes since then and versions inbetween have not been tested.

New Changes:

1. By default, after 90 days any inactive playerdata stored by Charity will auto-purge, this can also be done manually by running the command /ch cleanup
2. Item data used to be forgotten when added to the Charity Shop, now when you add a custom named item or an enchanted item, they will stay and be available on the Charity Shop!
3. actionCooldown got reworked, values are now seconds. You can set a value of 0 to disable the actionCooldown function!
4. Minor changes to the default config.yml - there should be no issues when updating as the new values should auto-add!
   You can find a default version at https://dl.ker35.com/charity-config.yaml - just make sure version: 2.0 is set in the config!

And that pretty much sums up the update!
