Hello and welcome to a new DiscordConsole update.
This update was focused mostly on bug fixes and improvements.
**Bug fixes and improvements**

- Fixed issue where if multiple plugins had the same libraries as DiscordConsole the server would encounter an error.
- Switched from kotlin coroutines to bukkit task schedulers (which made the total plugin size way smaller than before)
- Updated the libraries used to new versions
- Updated .gitignore (In order to avoid uploading certain files on github)
- Stopped using Date.parse and switched to Instant.parse
- Ability to not display the discord status entirely (which means that the plugin won't set the bot's status to anything)
- As in the last few updates, implemented a method to automatically update the configuration with the new values
- Fixed issues with bukkit scheduling (I made an oopsie)
- Fixed the issue where the plugin would stop working if the bot got disconnected and was unable to resume
- Updated wiki with new recommended settings (enabling the message content intent)
- Added bstats ( https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/DeltaRays-DiscordConsole/12819) so that I can better find out which features to update.
- Added timezone support. Now instead of using UTC the plugin will use the system timezone to display dates.

The title says it all ;-)

The status sending issues and the console error spamming have both been fixed.

Changes:

• Made it so colour codes and other characters get replaced in the console logs
• Fixed outdated version checking
• Added more error checking messages
• Improved WebSocket reconnection
• Fixed discord server description issues

I just fixed a very important bug, I'm sorry for everyone who downloaded the plugin in the last 3 hours but this should've fixed (according to local testing) both the channel message sending and the concurrency issues

Welcome to DiscordConsole 1.4.0!


In this version everything has been changed, from A to Z! You should check the wiki ( https://github.com/DeltaRays/DiscordConsole/releases/tag/1.4.0) for more information regarding this update.
A quick list of updates:
- Channels now support multiple message types! Not only can you send console messages to a channel, but also join, death, quit, startup/shutdown messages, and most importantly chat messages!
- Now you can make it so when a message gets sent in Minecraft it will be sent to discord, and the other way around!
- If that's not enough I've also added a way to create your own custom commands! You are now able to create discord commands and Minecraft commands that everyone will be able to run! (Thanks for suggesting it shrank#7584)

I've also made various other changes, which you can check out at https://github.com/DeltaRays/DiscordConsole/releases/tag/1.4.0 !
> That's it for this version! If you have any suggestions let me know on Discord ( https://discord.gg/WSaWztJ)!

Made it so now you can make it so only messages containing certain words will be sent to a channel, and made it so now the channel topic can be updated, too!

Fixed some possible errors, fixed configuration loading issues, added PlaceholderAPI placeholder support for the bot status text, fixed the version updater always stating "you're 0 versions behind"

- Made it so you can put multiple channels in the configuration file and messages are going to be sent to all the channels
- Added a checkForUpdates config option
- Added botStatus and botStatusText config options to change the bot status
- Added a prefix option for the config so you can customize it (it also has a few placeholders you can use to customize it more).
- Improved /discordconsole reload
- Improved the update checking system
- Changed the color codes
- Modified the system used to parse data sent to and received from discord
- Improved the "reconnect to the discord bot" feature

New major update!
- Modified the configuration system to make it so old config settings and comments would be preserved after new config values were appended

- Added /discordconsole command, for both version related information and reloading the plugin config and Discord connection

- Added a config setting to make it not send startup (and shutdown) messages (thanks to RIC0H for suggesting it)

- Made it so the plugin's going to work in all versions from 1.7.0 to 1.15.2

- Added an update checker

- Fixed another reconnection issue and fixed a few other issues, added more debug errors, made a few performance improvements.

- Added more information to debug errors

Added a Discord server for this project (and for future projects, too!) https://discord.gg/WSaWztJ

Added a resource icon (thanks to Shauna for making it)

Before when you got disconnected you'd get stuck in a reconnecting loop or the plugin would have issues when reloading the server using /rl, now I made it so it safely closes and opens the connection to discord every time the server restarts so it'll work when you use /rl, too!
