IMPORTANT - MUST READ
Hi all, thank you for your continued support on InfoHeads. As mentioned in a previous update, InfoHeads is modularizing itself so it can run on more server software e.g. Spigot, Folia, Sponge etc.
This is the first BETA of the new changes. Therefore, please expect some minor bugs that I'll work to fix as they arise.

UPDATING FROM OLD VERSIONS
Now, old versions are considered LEGACY.
v.2.4.3 will be the last and final version that supports all versions.
Upon updating from LEGACY to this version, a converter will run if you have a datastore.json file. This is not perfect but is a means to help with converting if you wish to use the "new" InfoHeads. If you run into any issues with conversions, please choose from the following options:
- Re-run the converter (by ensuring you have a file named datastore.json)
- Delete your InfoHeads folder and allow the new version to generate for you.
- Continue using legacy versions. They are stable, but no longer will receive any support.

Thank you for understanding. Let's hope this change comes across well.

Change Log
Implements 1.20.6 support.

Being Transparent
In future, support for any version that is not latest will be dropped.
This is because the internals of the plugin will be getting an adjustment to support different server versions (paper, fabric etc) and, to speed up iterations of features within the plugin and versioning updates.

From a development perspective, this means dropping a few dependencies - which will in turn reduce the size of the software and remove reliance on library updates to support new versions.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved please feel free to get in contact via the github link.

Hello everyone!
In this update we are introducing small fixes.
We suggest to update to this version.

InfoHeads 2.4.2 important changes:

• Updated dependencies
• Fixed updater

Thanks to everyone for using InfoHeads. Hope you and your players will enjoy this new update.

See you soon
~ Lorenzo

• Added One Time Item​
• Fixed item to remove time on the Cooldown Gui​

• The 'no permission' message can now be altered within the messages.yml file by adding path 'no-permission: "your text" '

• Changed hdb-api scope within maven build tool. (Resolves issues where other plugins use HeadDatabaseAPI as a dependency) Special thanks to Rickebo for pointing this out: https://github.com/harry0198/InfoHeads/issues/10

On a last note, thank you to everybody who has downloaded the plugin, shared it to friends and given support through pointing out issues, making suggestions and/or submitting pull requests. Slowly, this plugin has become very stable for small to medium sized servers without initialising lag or producing any errors. Please continue to input your suggestions and submit code improvements to help keep the project alive.

Soon, I think I will cleanup the code a little further if I manage to find some time as I've learnt a few more concepts within the language and maybe even implement some Scala as I'm learning that too! (Probably not though). I'm going to aim to keep the project as contribute-able as possible so the plugin can keep improving despite my limited time.

Thank you!

- [x] Rerouted command /infoheads to execute /infoheads help (thus removing the invalid command message)
- [x] Removed infoheads conversion command from old versions to new.
- [x] Improved codebase
- [x] Pushed Wiki and improved to centralised wiki https://wiki.haroldstudios.com (More to be added soon)

- Improved Multiverse World recognition when saving infoheads to file.

• Fix: Accidentally shaded in the HDB API which led to the hook not always functioning as expected and becoming unpredictable.

It's that time again! Another update and another oops.

• Accidentally overwrote the BlockParticles Gui Item when adding the temp permissions one!!!

• Big oopsie fix: If someone left half way through an infohead execution (e.g via delay element) it would throw a big error. This was fixed
• Added a Temp Permission Element. Will give the player a temporary permission when the element is executed and removed at the end (beta)
• Can now change the cooldown message
• Execution is now purely via player chat. This should resolve most issues where commands wouldn't execute or be shown as unknown.

- [x] Fixed issue where plugin would run block particle code even if it wasn't installed!

-[x] Reverted update checker!

What's new!
* That darn update checker! Fixed
* Moved plugin download page to releases

• Fixed Block Particles not changing to new location on infohead move!

- [x] Added Block Particles!! Now, if you have BlockParticles installed, infoheads will automatically hook into it, and add an option in the wizard gui.

What's New?
- [x] Added a cooldown menu to infoheads.
- [x] Fixed a bug where if after editing an infohead, you used /infoheads reload - it wouldn't save the changes.
- [x] Improved some documentation

Got a feature you'd like adding?
Join the discord page and put it in #infoheads. Link can be found on resource homepage

This version moves the infoheads to the new datastore.json file. To convert your old infoheads over, you must run the command /if convert

What's new?

• Infoheads now stored separate to config & in more efficient .json
• Editor mode has returned! With this, you can now add, remove and reorganise the ordering of your infoheads! /if edit
• Due to a high demand feature request, the plugin no longer removes your inventory when giving infoheads & just adds the skulls to your inventory. It also does not remove these after.
• Infohead json protection. If the file gets destroyed for whatever reason while the server is online, it will automatically regenerate with the values it had before destroyed.

Fixed issue where delay would not persist between reloads / restarts

Accidentally set last version's config-ver to 1. Thus it was producing when trying to convert "old" config as it didn't exist.

Updated to config-ver 2 here.

Fixed accidental read config before it was updated!!

What's changed:
Front end:
+ Basic scripting added e.g Run command, wait 5 seconds, print message.
+ New Element types:

• ConsoleCommand
• PlayerCommand
• Message
• Delay

+ Wizard converted to GUI
+ Wizard now allows for changing block location while in mode
+ Wizard now allows you to place a specific permission on usage.
+ Smaller jar file!

BackEnd
+ Recoded plugin
+ Vastly improved element handling system, via abstraction plugin now iterate through elements faster and with less code!
+ Better data storage system.
+ Added a config converter for people on config-ver: 1
+ Using XMaterials for cross-version compatibility
+ Created a InfoHead Builder with throwable for error catching
+ Improved class naming scheme
+ Started using @ipsyko 's command and gui handler
+ Removed all instances of Guice
+ More stable hook checking
etc.. See src code for more

[Removed admin join message]

- [x] Thanks to contributor @Andre_601 head database support has been implemented!

- [x] 1.8 InteractEvent error fixed

Dev notes:
- [x] Accidentally switched some code around while updating, leaving the checker for offHand to always return true. Thus executing 1.9+ code in 1.8

Changes:
- [x] When the infohead use method is called, timings have been reduced down to roughly 0.009 milliseconds!
- [x] All method calls for isValidLocation have been sped up (overall plugin performance increased).

Dev notes:

What's next?
- [x] Implement line deletion
- [x] Implement block moves with /infoheads edit block

Dev notes:
- [x] Multiple TODOs to complete
- [x] Need to switch some syntax methods to grab from command

- [x] Accidentally left some debug messages in the code. On right click it would leave some spam such as "permpassedpermpassed..."

Apologies!

- [x] Help menu is now more intuitive. /infoheads help [command] for specific command help.
- [x] Vault is no longer required for the plugin to work.

Developer notes:
- [x] Command Handler has been updated ready for the upcoming editing feature.
- [x] Improved initial setup with switch case.

-[x] Added help menu
-[x] /if delete command & now on breakage of head it's automatically deleted
-[x] Fixed "echoing" on a few commands
