Support: https://haoshoku.xyz/go/discord

Changelogs:

- updated to 1.19.3

* 1.19 update

Please delete ranks.yml and fake_ranks.yml if you experience problems (!)

This update uses an earlier version of HikariCP to give support for Java 8 users.

Changelogs:
+ 1.18.2 support
+ added LuckPerms support
+ added blacklisted world support
* fixed bugs in scoreboard if you disable specific settings on ranks.yml/fakeranks.yml
* fixed some internal bugs that caused plugins to misfunction

About LuckPerms support:
The placeholders %haonick_rank_prefix% | %haonick_rank_suffix% works now dependent to the situation.
If the player is nicked, it will automatically return the prefix and suffix from fake_ranks.yml and if he is not nicked, from ranks.yml. But if you enable LuckPerms support, it will return the prefix / suffix from LuckPerms.

The idea behind it should be pretty useful to add support for another tab plugins like TAB. So, have fun.
