Fridge Tier
You can now configure 6 fridge tiers, each fridge has its own settings

• Inventory size : 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54
• Fridge and inventory name (Color code support)
• Fridge lore (Color code support)
• Expiration multiplier
• Block type (Support any block or ItemsAddercusto block)
• Custom craft

Fridge custom block support
You're no longer limited to a chest or a white shulker box

• Multiple fridges support any vanilla block
• Multiple fridges support any custom block from ItemsAdder

Virtual inventory

• Multiple fridges introduce virtual inventories for more flexibility
• Cache system to optimize inventory processing
• SQLite database for inventory persistence between reboots

Others

• Added command to get fridges by tier /nmc give fridge <tier>
• Added enable-multiple-fridges option to config.yml
• Rewrote configuration in fridges section of config.yml
  
• New configuration file in fridges/multiple-fridges.yml to configure fridge tier

Fixes

• Lore is no longer suppressed when food is removed from the fridge
• Some fridge expiry calculation error resolved
• There are still some bugs with the calculated expiration of the food in fridges that I need to fix

Config automatic converter

• Remove the deletion of the old configuration after conversion to the new one, to make sure that it doesn't delete unexpected parameters that are not taken into account by the automatic converter.
• Ignore the configuration date-format key and value to avoid specific formatting that could interrupt or break the conversion process.

Add Custom Stages

• Allows you to define five different stages based on the percentage of time remaining before expiration in relation to the total time
• Each stage has its own parameters
• Customized lore (color-code support)
• Saturation bonus
• Health bonus
• Chance of negative effects

Configuration

• Configuration cleaned up, rearranged and separated into categories
• Automatic conversion from old to new configuration, keeping your previous settings

Console

• Reduced number of console messages on plugin startup
• Added colors to console messages on plugin startup

Fixes

• Fixed the blacklist bug, which supported only one custom model data per item type

Following a positive test of the hourly expiry system, this is now the default expiry system.
It offers numerous benefits in terms of inventory filling, general organization and QoL.
The old system, which operated on a per-second basis, can still be activated at the bottom of configuration, but in my opinion is obsolete.

• Add a reload command: /nmc reload
• Fix fridge duplication under certain conditions
• Sale of food with expiry date with EconomyShopGUI supported, instructions below.

Please add these lines to this section of the EconomyShopGUI config:

If you would like to be able to resell food that has expired for any reason, please also add :
Thanks to @Gypopo for his update on the tags following our conversation !

New Features

Expiration per hour

• It is possible to activate expiration by hours at the very bottom of the configuration.
• 
  
• This allows foods with the same expiry time to be re-stacked.
• This avoids unnecessarily filling inventories with food that expires within seconds or minutes.
  
• Currently in the testing phase, I'm waiting for your feedback before switching it to default mode.

New missing foods added

• Added : Bucket of milk - Pufferfish - Spider Eye - Cake - Poisonous potato - Rotten Flesh - Chorus Fruit
• Cow milking supported
• Cake cannot be placed if out of date
• New lines in the configuration related to the new foods

Bug fixes

• Hopper support, food is now subject to expiration even if it passes through a hopper
• When food is thrown out with the “Q” key or equivalent to throw when the food is inside a furnace without a expiry date, the food once picked up has a default expiration date.
• When rotten food is consumed as part of a stack, the stack is no longer consumed.
• Commands support all newly added foods
• Exception handling when EntityDeathEvent is of unknown cause
• Support for 1.16.5 and below reinstated
• Removed duplicate config when switching from v8 to v9
• Inventory modification performed synchronously instead of asynchronously

Update notes

Further to issues #12 and #13 on Github

• Effects of expired foods work again in 1.20.4 and below
• Expiration support for raw meats and wheat
• Expiration support for cooked foods without expiry date is picked up (Use the expiry time setup individually without application of the multiplicator)
  
• Added very primary protection against cooking expired raw meats and fish
