This is a large update! It's recommended to update as soon as possible, as it contains multiple security and bug fixes.
It also vastly improves the plugin's stability.

Added

• A language file validator, which will update potentially old files existing on servers.
• Basic config file validation, versioning, and updating.
• Support for Discord slash commands
• Experimental: Added experimental support for Geyser/Bedrock users. Must be enabled in the config by setting up experimental.geyser.

Changed

• Improved alerts for servers running old or unsupported versions. Messages are more descriptive, and differentiate between release and pre-release, development or test builds.
• The player count on the bot's activity is now updated every 3 minutes, instead of every 30 minutes.
• Embed colors now support custom hex colors, and different colors can be specified for info, error or success messages.
• Verification now needs to be done via a Discord /verify command, instead of sending the code to the bot's DM.
• Reduced plugin .jar size by removing unnecessary dependencies that are already bundled with Paper/Spigot.

Removed

• Chat commands (the ones where you configure a prefix and send a message in a channel to get the bot to respond) have been removed. You should now use Discord slash commands.
• Message reactions, response deletion, and other chat-related features and config options have also been removed, since there are no more chat commands.

Fixed

• Fixes a potential memory leak when starting the server
• Improves thread-safety on a few features, including fixing a race condition when the bot is started and stopped in quick succession.
• Correctly cleans up async bot tasks when shutting down or restarting the Discord bot.
• Fixes a bstats metric that had been broken since the beta (linked users)
• Fixes a bug where the linked user's name would be "null" if they hadn't joined the server before linking.
• Fixed a bug where some features did not respect the /drs reload command

This update changes the major version because it breaks backwards-compatibility by removing chat commands. It is a drop-in replacement for server owners in every other way.
Configs and language files will be automatically updated. Databases are fully compatible with 1.x.x.
