- Add update command to allow manual updating
- Use key from default messages.properties if missing

- Fix exception from MiniMessage when item has colors in name/lore

* Add support for auto updating plugin when new release available on github
* Plugin will now check for latest supported plugin version based on api-version in spigot.yml
* login.updatemessage will now display server and update version
* Plugin will auto download the latest update and apply it (remove old jar, move new jar) on server shutdown

IF RUNNING 2.0.0-2.0.1 YOU MUST UPDATE TO THIS VERSION, THERE IS A DUPE BUG

• Fix critical item duplication bug caused by incorrectly counting number of items in inventory
• Make auction amount string case-insensitive

Rewrite plugin from the ground up.
VERY IMPORTANT:

• Minecraft versions 1.20.1 and up supported. Anything under is NO LONGER supported
• Existing config.yml and messages.properties files MUST be deleted! There have been numerous changes in these files and using the older versions WILL cause errors
• Flat file storage type is no longer supported. The default storage type is SQLite, but MySQL/MariaDB are also supported.
• Database structure has been redone. This means that your database will be starting from scratch. Player ignores will be gone, saved items that players have yet to retrieve will be gone, etc)
• If you are using the plugin API at all (for events through code or DiscordSrv for example), you will need to update to use the latest API as most things have changed. The same events still exist, but underlying event data may have changed.

New features

• Folia supported! The plugin now runs smoothly on the multithreaded Folia server platform. Spigot and Paper are still supported.
• All messages replaced to use MiniMessage! This message format allows for advanced message features and ultimate control of your chat messages
  • Using MiniMessage, you can now format your numbers to any locale. See the below example where all the numbers have been formatted in Arabic. The item name is in Arabic due to the user's language being set to Arabic.

• • Scoreboard also supports MiniMessage
• Console logging of auctioned items full data. You can now protect your player's items in the event of a server crash while an auction is running or just have detailed logs of what players auctioned

• Plugin operations are almost entirely asynchronous, reducing load on the main thread for non-Folia servers

- Hex colors are now supported in the messages.properties file. Hex colors can be specified as such: &#[hex value], example: &#FF0000 will be translated to red
- The order of commands in the /auctions help page can now be changed via the config
- Ensure that only commands the player has permission to use will be shown in the help
- Added ability to disable *most* messages by setting the value in the message.properties to empty
- Fix exception when loading plugin without Vault installed

Fix a bug where files were not included in the jar

• Automatically add missing message.properties keys to file

• Updated 1.18 reflection method to hopefully be less version dependent

• Added 1.18 support

• Added missing message in message.properties (command.auction.end.help)

Add item on main thread - fixed an issue from last version

- Count players in auction queue as participating in auction for blocked command purposes
- Run auction reward in an async task to prevent issues with vault/luckperms

Small fix on an NPE

• Added per-world-broadcast config option which limits broadcasts to players in the world which the auction was started in
  • auctions:
    per-world-broadcast: true
• Added support for permissions to bypass queue limits
  • ezauctions.auction.queuelimit.# to allow a bypass of the auction queue limit to that #
  • ezauctions.auction.currentlimit.# to allow a bypass of not being able to have more than one auction currently running or in queue

Explanation of how to use the new permissions:

ezauctions.auction.queuelimit.# where the # is queue limit for that player. This means that if the auction queue is at that # or more, they cannot start a new auction

ezauctions.auction.currentlimit.# where # is the current limit for that player. This means that if the player already has items being auctioned or in the queue, they can add more to that #. Not having that permission means they can only have an auction either running or in the queue. If the # is 1, they can have an auction running and 1 in the queue, and the number can be as big as you'd like.

- Implemented tax exemption permission, granted with ezauctions.taxexempt

• Add config option for quotes around custom named items

• Fix misnomer for prior work penalty with anvils

• Fixed packet exploits

• Require a specific permission for ending other players' auctions.

New config key: auctions.toggles.quotes-around-name
New messages key: command.auction.end.attempt-others

The last version had a few issues that have been amended in this new version
- Removed debug messages that were accidentally left over
- Added auction queue help message to the default config and wiki so as to not confuse anyone
- Fixed cancelled auctions not rewarding the highest bidder
- Fixed an error caused by the auction queue

Apologizes for how long it took to post this update.
Changes:
- Fixed consecutive bids being handled wrong
- Added a new sub command that shows what items are in the auction queue
- Fix 1.12 compatibility
- Basic spigot tab completion added

Update to messages.properties:
Added strings are command.auction.queue.list, command.auction.queue.empty, command.auction.queue.item

The messages file as well as other files and information is always available on gitlab. Thank you so much for using our plugin!

- MC 1.15 support
- SQLite, MySQL support added
- Better version checking method which may not require modification for future MC versions
- Better handling of JSON storage for servers with high player counts
- Full credits to Silverwolfg11

IMPORTANT

You must update the config file when updating or you will get errors.

In the config.yml you will find a new section "data" which you must copy over. You may keep it as is and it will work fine, or you may change the storage type to SQLite or MySQL at your discretion.

In messages.properties you will find two new strings, "command.auction.save.help" and "command.auction.save". It is not necessary to put these in your messages file, however it is recommended.

Thank you for using the plugin and I hope you enjoy. Any issues can be reported on our discord server.
