Details:
In this release, we've patched a critical security vulnerability related to custom inventory GUIs. Previously, the plugin identified custom GUIs by their titles, making it possible for players to spoof inventory titles and bypass certain protections. This could allow players to interact with illegal items without triggering the plugin's safeguards.

Changes Implemented:

1. Custom InventoryHolder:
   
   • Introduced a new OaExploitsInventoryHolder class that implements InventoryHolder. This custom holder is now used to manage custom GUI inventories, ensuring that they cannot be spoofed by simply changing the title.
   • The OaExploitsInventoryHolder is tied directly to the player's UUID, providing a secure way to identify and manage custom GUIs.
2. Event Handling Updates:
   
   • Updated the AntiIllegalItems class to check for the custom InventoryHolder instead of the inventory title. This change ensures that only legitimate custom GUIs are recognized and processed by the plugin.
   • Specific methods in AntiIllegalItems, such as onInventoryOpen, onInventoryClick, and others, now verify if the inventory holder is an instance of OaExploitsGUI.OaExploitsInventoryHolder.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Security:
  • The use of a custom InventoryHolder makes it significantly harder for players to spoof the system. This server-side validation ensures that only legitimate interactions are processed.
• Improved Control and Flexibility:
  • The custom InventoryHolder can store additional context about the GUI, making it easier to manage complex interactions and configurations securely.
• Code Clarity and Separation of Concerns:
  • Clear separation between GUI management and item interaction checks, resulting in more maintainable and secure code.

     • Toggle Logging of Illegal Items: Click to enable or disable logging of illegal enchantment detections.

Update Summary:

New Features:

1. Dynamic Debug Mode:
   
   • Added the ability to toggle debug mode on and off without restarting the server.
   • Usage: Call the setDebugEnabled(true) method to enable and setDebugEnabled(false) to disable debug mode dynamically.
2. Enhanced Illegal Item Handling:
   
   • Introduced a configuration option to allow placing illegal items when remove-illegal-items is set to false.

I hope you enjoy the new features and improvements in this release. Thank you for using OaExploits to keep your server secure and enjoyable!

1. Fixed Bug Where Players Could Not Drop Items or Interact with Them:
   
   Problem: The plugin's GUI implementation inadvertently prevented players from dropping items or interacting with their inventories outside of the custom GUI.
   
   Solution:
   
   • The event handling logic was updated to specifically check if the interaction was within the custom GUI.
   • A set was used to track which players have the custom GUI open. This ensures that only those players are affected by the interaction restrictions, allowing all other players to interact with their inventories normally.
2. Fixed GUI Reload Not Working:
   
   Problem: The previous implementation of the GUI's reload functionality did not properly reload the configuration from the config.yml file.
   
   Solution:
   
   • A new command ReloadCommand was implemented and registered to handle reloading the plugin configuration.
   • The method in the GUI class that handles the reload was updated to programmatically execute the reload command. This ensures that when the "Reload Configuration" item in the GUI is clicked, the reload command is executed, which correctly reloads the configuration and updates any necessary settings.

Additional Feature

• Reload Command Usable In-Game: The new reload command can also be used in-game by executing /oaexploits reload. This allows administrators to reload the plugin configuration directly from the game without needing to access the server console.

Benefits of the Fixes

1. Improved User Experience: Players can now interact with their inventories and drop items normally when not using the custom GUI, improving overall gameplay experience.
   
   
2. Reliable Configuration Reload: The configuration reload functionality now works as expected. Admins can reload the configuration via the GUI, ensuring that any changes to the config.yml file are applied without needing to restart the server.
   
   
3. Convenient In-Game Administration: Administrators can easily reload the plugin configuration while in-game using the /oaexploits reload command, making server management more convenient.
