Fixes:

• My stupid update checker
• Allow header customization for chunk list command in messages.json

Re-adds the claimchunk_am_trusted placeholder. The player is shown to be trusted if they have been granted any permissions for the chunk they're currently standing in. Players are shown as not trusted when the chunks are not claimed to mimic prior behavior.

Fixes crash on startup from the "/plugins/ClaimChunk/data" folder not existing on first launch

This update fixes, once and for all, the data loss issues we've been seeing since I first created this plugin!

Migration:

• Should not require any extra work, keep your config the same for at least the first run.
• 0.0.26 will remove the database section of the config, but leave it be for your first launch to make sure old data loads.
• Prior data from JSON and from MySQL will be converted automatically to the SQLite data file, and JSON backups will be made for you in the /plugins/ClaimChunk/data directory.

Major thanks to @AlexFF000 for contributing this entire release!

This update allows individual permissions to be granted on a per-chunk basis. These changes required a major overhaul
of the internal workings of the plugin. The commands have changed, and there have been some changes to the format used
to store the data.

Players will not need to make any changes to their claims as a result of this update; the data conversion process will
convert any existing accesses in such a way that they will continue to function as they did in 0.0.23.

Note: The messages.json and world.txt files may need to be recreated due to new additions to them in this update.
For English language, this can be done by deleting them and running the server. Remember to transfer any custom config
to the new world.txt files after they are recreated.

Changes:

• Access is now granted on a per-chunk basis, a chunk owner can grant another player access to only specific chunks
  rather than all of their chunks.
  • When the data is converted from the 0.0.23 format, a player that has previously been given access by a chunk owner
    will continue to have access to all the owner's chunks.
• Players are now granted specific permissions on the chunks that they have access to (so for instance, a player could
  be granted permission to place blocks in a chunk, but not break them).
  • These permissions are:
    • break: Allow the player to break blocks
    • place: Allow the player to place blocks
    • doors: Allow the player to open / close doors and trapdoors
    • redstone: Allow the player to press buttons, levers, pressure plates etc...
    • interactVehicles: Allow the player to interact with mine carts and boats
    • interactEntities: Allow the player to interact with other entities (also allow the player to throw ender pearls
      even if preventPearlFromClaims is true in the world profile)
    • interactBlocks: Allow the player to interact with blocks
    • useContainers: Allow the player to open:
      • Chests
      • Trapped chests
      • Barrels
      • Furnaces
      • Dispensers and droppers
      • Hoppers
      • Brewing stands
• Commands:
  • The changes have involved significant changes to the /chunk access command; it has now been split into three
    commands:
    • /chunk access <player> [break:true/false] [place:true/false] [doors:true/false] [redstone:true/false] [interactVehicles:true/false] [interactEntities:true/false] [interactBlocks:true/false] [useContainers:true/false] [allChunks:true/false]
      • Give a player permissions on a chunk (or modify their existing permissions)
      • All arguments except player are optional, and can be provided in any order
      • If allChunks:true is provided, the changes will be made to all the executing player's chunks. If false
        (the default) the changes will apply only to the chunk the player is currently standing in (if it belongs
        to them)
      • Any permissions not specified will retain their existing values (e.g. if the command is run without the doors
        option, the player's existing doors permission will remain unchanged) or will default to true if the player does
        not have access to the chunk already.
      • usage example: /chunk access examplePlayer break:true place:false allChunks:true
    • /chunk checkaccess [<player>]
      • List the permissions the given player has on the chunk where the executor is standing
      • If no player is provided, lists the permissions of all players with access to the chunk
    • /chunk revokeaccess <player> [ALL CHUNKS? true/false]
      • Revoke the given player's access to the chunk
      • If all chunks is true, the player's access will be revoked from all the executor's chunks. Otherwise, only the
        one they are standing in (if they are the owner)
      • Usage example: /chunk revokeaccess examplePlayer false
• Removed "am_trusted" placeholder
• Added new "CONTAINER" block class
• Added trapdoors to "DOOR" block class
• Added boats to "VEHICLES" entity class
• Changed default world profile permissions for players in claimed chunks who have not been granted access:
  • Interacting with vehicles and monsters is now disallowed
  • Damaging monsters is now disallowed
  • Interacting with redstone is now disallowed

For all the other changes pertaining to 0.0.23, see the 0.0.23-RC1, 0.0.23-RC2, 0.0.23-RC3, 0.0.23-RC4, 0.0.23-RC5, and 0.0.23-RC6 releases.

Changes:

• Add translation keys for command arguments.

Main remaining changes that need to be made before 0.0.23 is fully released:

• Proper PvP support (the current support doesn't leave much to customizability).

As always please report any bugs (or minor changes that may still need to be made) you find to the GitHub issue tracker or our Discord server.

For all the other changes pertaining to 0.0.23, see the 0.0.23-RC1, 0.0.23-RC2, 0.0.23-RC3,and 0.0.23-RC4 releases.

Changes:

• Downgrade to Java 16 (Java 17 becomes too restrictive for older version support)
  • It should be noted that ClaimChunk will always try to be up-to-date with Spigot or Minecraft API changes. Generally, new versions should support the previous release or two, but unless major issues arise, there aren't likely to be updates for older versions of the game.
• Make some internal structural changes (Most APIs should be safe, but be sure to double-check that things still function as intended.
• Disable debug spam being overridden in versions with an extra marker (such as snapshot or RC).
• Add my_remaining_claims placeholder that displays the number of claims a player can make
  • (Provides the value of my_max_claims - my_claims)

Main remaining changes that need to be made before 0.0.23 is fully released:

This update is 1½ years in the making! There are a ton of changes that have a potential to
collide with previous settings for your servers!

Please make sure to back up your old configs and *don't delete your old ClaimChunk jar file; renaming it will be good
after obtaining this release candidate(RC). In fact, I recommend renaming your config as well, allowing the new
version to generate a new one with the correct options (otherwise, you will receive console spam when starting your server).

A release candidate is basically like a snapshot for Minecraft, meaning things are likely to change and bugs are
expected! If you run into any unexpected behavior, feel free to
create an issue to let me know.

• First chunk is free Thanks to DeathsGun (configurable)

• Data system rewritten. It is highly recommended that you duplicate your /plugins/ClaimChunk/data folder. The data should be automatically migrated to the new JSON system, but just in case, keep a copy.
• Added /chunk auto: Toggles autoclaiming mode. If enabled, chunks the player enters will be claimed (assuming they are not claimed already)
• Added /chunk name [name]: Sets your chunks' display name to [name], if supplied. If [name] is not supplied, the name is cleared.
