Hi everyone,
This is the first larger update for ItemPriceTag, focusing on improving stability, compatibility, and adding some highly requested features.
It took a bit longer to prepare as it was tested and adjusted with help from our Discord community. Thanks to those who reported bugs, tested beta versions, and suggested improvements.

What's New:

+ Currency Formatting Improvements

• Added support for abbreviated price formats (1K, 1M, etc.). Just set format-type to abbreviated in the config.

+ EconomyShop-Premium Compatibility Fix

• Plugin should now work out of the box with EconomyShop-Premium.

+ Minimum Price Protection

• Prices won't update if they are below the configured minimum.

+ Auto-Detection for Manual Mode

• If no valid supported plugins are found, the plugin will automatically switch to manual mode.

+ Priority for First Plugin

• Only the first specified supported plugin will be used, avoiding potential conflicts when multiple are installed.

+ Early Folia Support

• Added basic Folia support. This is still under testing but should work for most setups.

+ Kotlin Library Conflict Fix

• Resolved issues with conflicting Kotlin libraries, especially with Eco-related plugins.

+ BStats Integration

• Helps track plugin usage, Minecraft versions, and economy plugin statistics (optional, anonymous data).

+ Container Support Added

• Price lores now update inside containers like chests and other custom inventories.

+ Manual Pricelist Improvements

• Manual price list is now approximately 90% functional. Feel free to report any remaining bugs.

+ Creative Mode Lore Issue (Experimental Fix)

• Potential fix for lore duplication or corruption when switching to creative mode. This needs further community testing.

+ EssentialsX Worth Support

• Full compatibility with EssentialsX item worth system.

+ ShopGUIPlus Skull Issue Fixed

• Resolved issue where custom skulls in ShopGUIPlus could break price tags.

+ Lore Preservation Improvements

• The plugin will no longer override lore from other plugins, such as custom enchantments.

+ ShopGUIPlus Without Economy Crash Fix

• Prevented startup crashes when ShopGUIPlus is installed without a valid economy plugin.

+ LORE_PREFIX Stability Fix

• Improved internal lore handling to prevent accidental corruption.

+ Custom Inventory Configuration

• New config options to control which containers update price lores.

+ Shulker Box Support (Early Version)

• Price display now works for items inside shulker boxes. Currently counts shulker boxes as amount 1, with plans for more detailed lore improvements in the future.

Hey everyone! This update includes a few important fixes and improvements:

• Fixed some dependency issues that were causing errors on start up

• Resolved a packet handling issue where item lore would glitch or double when switching from Creative to Survival mode

• Added EssentialsX support — if no shop plugin is set, the plugin can now use EssentialsX item worth as a fallback (or you could initially set and use Essentials)

Coming Soon

• Splitting plugin into Paper and Spigot builds (or disabling MiniMessage support to spigot servers to reduce file size)

• Manual pricelist support — define prices based on name, lore, enchantments, and more

• A /reload command to refresh config, prices, or both without restarting

As I was afraid the integration with EconomyShopGUI-Premium was not perfect, so I am pushing an update just to fix the issue.
If you were using free version or ShopGUIPlus, this update is Optional as it does not affect those pluguins

Hey everyone!

First off, I want to apologize for the delay. This update took a bit longer than I originally planned — but for a good reason!
I ended up recoding most parts of the plugin to improve its reliability and performance overall.

Also, an important note:
Originally, this plugin was designed to be dependency-free (besides the shop plugin for pulling prices). However, starting from this version, ProtocolLib is now a required dependency.
I had to add it in order to properly intercept packets and handle item interactions (dropping, picking up, merging, etc.) much more seamlessly.
This change also allowed me to move away from checking multiple events individually to listening to a single packet, which should greatly improve performance.

What's new / changed / fixed:

• Fixed Spigot compatibility (Spigot should now work fine, though Paper is still recommended for best performance)
  
  
• Added Adventure MiniMessage support for Spigot servers
  
  
• Added EconomyShopGUI Plus support (finally!)
  
  
• Added preliminary support for EconomyShopGUI Premium (not fully tested yet)
  
  
• Fixed material blacklist check (blacklisted items no longer show lore, even if they appear in the shop)
  
  
• Fixed minimum price handling (no more -1 showing; items without a sell price simply won't display lore)
  
  
• Fixed interference when running multiple supported shop plugins at once — now only the plugin set in config will be used
  
  
• Added auto-detection: if no valid shop plugin is set, it will cycle through supported plugins automatically and use the first working one
  

Known Issues / Upcoming Features:

• If no supported shop plugin is found, it will currently fall back to "Manual" mode — manual mode is not yet implemented, so no lore will be shown in that case
  
  
• Essentials/EssentialsX integration is planned but not yet functional (will hook into Essentials soon)
  
  
• Manual pricing and EssentialsX price hook will come in the next update
  
  
• On Spigot servers, some actions like item splitting, double-clicking, or sorting may not immediately update the lore. You can manually update it by clicking the item again or dropping it. Moving to Paper is highly recommended for smoother behaviour.

Final Thoughts:

• I’m still deciding whether to keep ProtocolLib as a dependency or embed packet handling directly into the plugin. Embedding would remove the external dependency but would require separate builds for each Minecraft version, while ProtocolLib handles version differences for me automatically.
  
  
• I'm open to adding support for more shop plugins — if you have suggestions or requests, feel free to let me know! I'll prioritize based on demand.
  

Thanks so much for your patience and support ❤️
Hope you enjoy the new version!
