Changes:
- Fixed the checksum checks not working on Spigot servers (oops!)
Changes:
- Added a checksum checker to detect if the plugin has possibly been affected by malware
- I highly recommend updating to this version as there seems to be a bad actor distributing a lot of malware on Spigot lately (including this plugin)
Changes:
- Updated the plugin's Discord invite
Changes:
- Added permissions for receiving actionbar/chat/sounds when the clear task runs
- entityclearer.removalnotifs.[actionbar/chat/sound] (default: true)
- Simplified the message formatting in the config
- Added log messages for the clear tasks
Changes:
- Bumped the link for the Paper javadocs to 1.21
- Updated dependencies
Changes:

- Fixed the plugin sending "minutes" even if there was only 1 minute
- Fixed the plugin sending "60 seconds" instead of "1 minute" or similar
- Switched the dump link from paste.gg to pastes.dev
- Added an FAQs link to the config and moved the bStats disclaimer to the bottom
Changes:
- Added the ability to customize "minutes" and "seconds" when counting down using the TIME placeholder
Changes:
- Added an update checker
- Players with the permission entityclearer.updatenotifs will be messaged with new updates
Changes:
- Updated the Discord links to point to the MOSS Discord server for support
- Debug dumps will now automatically upload to paste.gg
- The plugin will now throw an error message if no entities are defined in the config to be removed
Changes:
- Fixed a major bug in previous 3.0.x versions that caused "ALL" worlds to not track the timer properly
- It is highly recommended to update to this version if you were previously on any 3.0.x version
- Improved the clarity of a comment in the config (see below)
- (3.0.0) All PAPI placeholders now require you to specify the world name
- %entityclearer_remaining_minutes_<world>%
- %entityclearer_remaining_seconds_<world>%
- %entityclearer_remaining_seconds_left_<world>%
- %entityclearer_remaining_minutes_<world>%
- Slightly improved the debug output
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where the debug file wouldn't save the world names
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where Mythic Mobs were either being removed when they shouldn't or weren't being removed when they should
- The timer intervals are now per-world instead of on a global level, meaning one world can remove entities every 5 minutes whereas another world can be set to 15 minutes
- The countdown-on-command option was removed due to the complexity of this new system and will now default to skipping the countdowns
- It's possible I missed something in testing, so please submit an issue on GitHub if you come across any bugs
Changes:
- Updated dependencies, such as Adventure and MythicMobs
- This should fix broken action bars in 1.20.4
Changes:
- Removed cleared entity count metrics
- Refactored a lot of code
- Removed the /clearentities command (replaced by /ecl clearnow)
- Added the entityclearer.basecommand permission
- Added support for not removing occupied vehicle entities
- Improved the interval metrics
- Moved debug dumps into their own folder
- Bumped minimum server version to 1.18.2
- Greatly improved the way in which the clear task works
Changes:
- Updated the Adventure API - this should fix actionbar messages not working on 1.20.2
- Updated the MythicMobs API to version 5.4.1
Changes:
- Instead of having a global setting for removing named entities, this update makes it so entity types with -NAMED at the end will be removed
- Improved the debug logs
- Removed the option to print stack traces (this is now enabled)
Changes:
PlaceholderAPI placeholders:
- Added 3 PlaceholderAPI placeholders (see below)
- Updated the logic for determining when the entity removal task should be run. Previously, an interval set to 1 would wait 1 minute, then start the countdown task, then remove the entities. If you had a warning set to 30 seconds, the entity removal gap was effectively 1.5 minutes. With this update, an interval of 1 and warning set to 30 seconds will continue to run the task every 1 actual minute.
- Updated the MythicMobs dependency
- World names will now be included in the debug dump
PlaceholderAPI placeholders:
- %entityclearer_remaining_minutes% | The time in minutes until the next clear task is run
- %entityclearer_remaining_seconds% | The time in seconds until the next clear task is run
- %entityclearer_remaining_seconds_left% | The time in seconds until the next clear task is run, minus the time the minutes placeholder already accounted for
Changes:
- This version simply bumps the MythicMobs API version to 5.3.1
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where the countdown would fail and throw errors if the warning-messages list didn't contain 1 second

- Improved some code
- Changed the placeholders available for the time remaining messages and cleared entities messages
- Bumped minimum Java requirement to 17
Changes:
- Refactored and cleaned up some code
- Refactored and cleaned up the config.yml file
- Dropped 1.16 support
- The debug command will now dump the config to the debug file
- Debug files are now in the .yml format
- Fixed a problem where the entity spawn reason check was causing an error and clearing loop
- The entity spawn reason check now requires Paper to work (since its method isn't in the Spigot API)
Changes:
- Bumped internal versions
- Updated some code
- Removed the debug config option
- Added the command /ecl debug
- Added the permission entityclearer.debug
- Debug will now output to its own text file to make getting support easier
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where the plugin would fail to send a message if a world couldn't be found
- Added pitch controls for the sounds
Changes:
- Players with the permission entityclearer.notify (default: OP) will now get messages when the plugin fails to find worlds or clear entities
Changes:
- Fixed support for 1.17.1 servers and lower
Changes:

- Fixed a bug where console would tell you the config might be outdated where in reality a world name was invalid
Changes:
- The DROPPED_ITEM entity will now be ignored by the nearby entities and spawn reasons check - however, it is still advised to use Paper's alternate item despawn rates instead
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where using ALL as the world wouldn't work properly with the spawn reason options (thanks LeftReaver)
Changes:
- The plugin will now work on MC versions 1.16+. However, the server must be on Java 16 or later
- Fixed a bug causing named entities to occasionally be removed, even if they shouldn't be
- Updated the link provided with a specific error
- Other internal changes that I can't remember
Changes:
- Fixed a bug where the plugin would say your config was possibly outdated when in reality it couldn't find the right world
- The plugin will now only work on 1.18 - see the Version History tab for older versions
Changes:
- You can now use the world name ALL in the config to apply the entity list to all worlds (Note: Using ALL will override any other worlds in the list)
- Updated some debug stuff
- Bumped the API version to 1.17
Changes:
- The removal timer can now be disabled
- Added a note in the config regarding dropped items

Changes:
- Added a config option to enable debug (it's pretty spammy!)
- Support for the plugin will now be given in our Discord server.
Changes:
- Removed the spawn-reason code from the bStats metrics - the performance impact to this update should be negligible so updating doesn't really need to be a priority if you're lazy like me
Changes:
- Moved the spawn-reasons config option to work separately for each world
Changes:
- Removed the show-if-zero option because it added extra unnecessary complexity to the clearing task (may re-add this in the future - if you really liked the feature, please create a feature request on GitHub about it if one doesn't exist already)
- Optimized the code and made it better
Changes:
- Added a warning when the server is reloaded
- Added warnings when something goes wrong when clearing entities or sending messages
- Added a config option to print stack traces when something goes wrong
- Fixed the plugin not loading at all on versions 1.13-1.15
Changes:

Changes:
- Added an option to only remove entities with others nearby if the mob spawning gamerule is enabled
- Added per-world entity removal lists
- Changed some of the default config values
- Changed the website link in the version message
- Some other changes I probably can't remember
Changes:
- Fixed a bug causing RGB colors to not work on action bar messages
Changes:
- Fixed a bug that may occur on Spigot with actionbar messages

Changes:
- Fixed a potential issue with the action bar messages
- Added spawn reasons to the config
- Added nearby entities to the config
- The TPS checker is now less sensitive
- Other config changes
Fixed a potential bug that could cause entities to be removed even when the TPS was stable.
The previous method for grabbing the server's current TPS was often too sensitive and would trigger if the TPS dropped below the threshold for even a second. This new update will now get the average TPS from the past 5 seconds, to ensure that the server is actually lagging.
