ChatHeads Plugin Changelog
Version 1.2 - 02/15/2024

We're excited to announce the latest update to ChatHeads, the Minecraft plugin that enhances in-game communication by displaying chat messages above players' heads. Here's what's new in this version:

New Features:

• Message Line Wrap: Messages that exceed a certain length are now automatically wrapped onto the next line, ensuring readability and a clean visual experience.
• Configurable Line Length: Server admins can now set the maximum character length for a single line via the config.yml file. Messages longer than this limit will be split accordingly.
• Message Stacking Update: To accommodate line wrapping, the stacking logic has been updated. Regardless of message length, only five lines will be displayed at a time, with the oldest lines fading out first.

Enhancements:

• Performance Optimization: Improved the efficiency of how messages follow players, reducing server load and ensuring smooth gameplay.
• Visual Clarity: Adjusted the default Y-offset between stacked messages for better visual separation and clarity.

Bug Fixes:

• Stacking Order: Fixed an issue where messages were not stacking correctly, with new messages sometimes appearing below older ones.
• Following Mechanics: Resolved a problem where messages would not always correctly follow the player when moving.

Technical Updates:

• Version Compatibility: Confirmed compatibility with Minecraft version 1.16.5.
• Code Refactoring: Under-the-hood code refactoring for better maintainability and future updates.

A Special Note to Server Admins: With this update, we recommend reviewing and adjusting your config.yml settings to ensure the new line wrapping feature works seamlessly with your server's chat flow.
