Over a year ago, I released ColourAnvil 1.7, A Complete Code rewrite of ColorAnvil, my most used Spigot Plugin I ever made.

Now, I am releasing 1.7.1, the final update for this plugin, fixing a couple bugs and hopefully future-proofing this plugin into the future.

I will not be continuing development, this project is now dead. The Argument API that I wrote for this will not see the light of day that I envisioned. I hope to take the skills that I learned from this project and use it to obtain a degree in Computer Science.

Thank you for using the plugin, its been a fun adventure.

After a long time, i have released the next version of ColorAnvil. This version, rather than be a simple "bug fixes and tweaks", was completely redone and rewritten from scratch. Many aspects of ColorAnvil have changed. Although many of you may be made about having to adjust to the new version, with this method of approach to creating this version, it will be much easier to roll out bug fixes and more features.

What is included:
Ability to add Colour to item names!
Ability to use lore on items.
A new api system called Arguments! (I will be updating ColorAnvil's wiki on github about what it is and how to use it), created from the ashes of the original system for altering item data like itemflags and unbreakable tags.
Custom Colours using HEX
Ban words from item names.
customize messages
disable certain colors from the config.yml
set a limit to lore size (currently affects everyone, including admin)

Before you install this plugin:
If you have previously used an older version of ColorAnvil, you will need to remove the existing plugin, and the configuration files for it, this new version of ColorAnvil uses new version of the configs that have been rearranged and altered for simplicity and organization.

Permissions for ColorAnvil have been altered, more information on the permissions can be found at ColorAnvil's wiki page on Github.

This plugin uses bStats to track the amount of servers that utilise this plugin. Its only use is for how popular this plugin is and how i can improve this plugin for the servers that use it. For information on what / how / uses on the information collected, you can refer to bStats privacy policy here: https://bstats.org/privacy-policy

Thank you for using ColorAnvil, it has been fun developing this plugin and improving my skills as a developer along the way with every release and bug fix. I look forward to many more!

Added Features:
Separate Color code permissions for different players! Sorry for taking so long to add this feature.
(you will need a permission manager to use this feature to its fullest effect.)


Bannable Words! (You can add words in a new config called "words.yml" that will prevent players from using that word on there items display names. Useful for family-friendly servers)

Removed Features:
Update Listener has been removed. Spigot has removed the old method of connecting to spigot to get plugin versions. so i am removing it for now til i find a different method.

Will be making youtube tutorials on my channel incase you are stuck with a feature.
