Removed outdated importers, most of them aren't actively developed anymore
Updated dependencies
Moved to the new LapisCore PrettyTimeUtil

Fix for H2 databases throwing a "JdbcSQLNonTransientConnectionException"
Updated to Latest LapisCore

Major updates to underlying frameworks
This update will download a newer version of LapisDataStore
Updated to latest LapisCore bringing all improvements made in that API

This update now uses the Libraries system that was introduced in 1.17 for getting LapisDatastore

What this means for you:
pre 1.17: You need the LapisDatastore plugin installed
1.17+: You just install the plugin and Spigot does the rest for you

This update is big, I've updated to LapisCore 1.8.2 and Java 11

This means that the old way of loading LapisDatastore no longer works. So you'll need to install LapisDatastorePlugin on your server to continue using LapisBans from this version forward. I've tried to make it as easy as possible, there is a link on the top of the plugin description to download the plugin and it will auto-update so you don't have to maintain another plugin.

This is made to happen because I can't include LapisDatastore inside LapisBans because it would make the jar file far too big for what Spigot allows. So all of that code is hidden away in the extra download in older versions of LapisBans, but in newer java versions I can't do it like that so I have to have it as its own plugin.

Let me know if you have any issues with updating to use this newer version, I'm always here to help

Requested by @Neeviq

This is preferable to be able to translate most if not all of the plugin into your servers language

The long-awaited release of 2.0.0
The only thing not in this version is importing from v1 as it uses an entirely different storage scheme

Make sure you delete the v1 plugin if you have it before installing this version. If you have been using the beta you will be good to go but you should reset the messages.yml to get accurate command help

use /lapisbans help to see all of the commands

Let me know if you encounter any issues. in my testing, everything worked as intended but I may have missed somethings

Added a paged UI as the history command, I will be adding a text version for the console in the next update
Added file watcher

Please see my last post in the discussions forum for details on this version
It doesn't contain the update checker so you must check back here for updates
Please don't use this on production servers, it is intended for test servers only at the moment
The plugin will download LapisDataStore on first run, this file is required for the interactions with databases

Database prefixes use to break everything

The developer API is included from this version up. See the API section of the plugin description if you wish to use it

New players would get multiple BanPlayers database entries, this has been fixed

Specifically importing from https://github.com/FabioZumbi12/MaxBans
Make sure you have that version as the importer wont work with any other version
