In addition to Minecraft 1.21.3 support, a new config setting for inventory click protection while on quests is available, enabled by default. Added experimental support for using '<count>' or '%count%' in objective display overrides. As always, please continue to report any issues on Github.

Little update for a big bug! Certain objectives could exceed their maximum objective count under certain criteria. Updating to this version is highly recommended. As always, please continue to report any issues on Github.

Thanks for choosing Quests!

For changes in this version, see https://github.com/PikaMug/Quests/compare/5.1.1...5.1.2

Another light and subtle update for Quests which features a fix for reach location objectives. Languages besides the one chosen the config file will also be affected by the /questadmin reload command, and bleeding edge builds will no longer nag admins about "updating" to the current release version. As always, please report any issues on Github.

A small update with big potential—we're excited to provide support for Minecraft 1.20.5/6, as well as a Belarusian translation via Crowdin! Once again, regenerating your /lang folder is highly recommended for this release. If you speak multiple languages, we encourage you to join ymcei and jadza in translating on Crowdin!

Different levels of Potions and Tipped Arrows will be distinguished during quest objectives, and party support has been updated for mcMMO Overhaul 2.1.229 and up (older versions will no longer be supported).

For changes in this version, see https://github.com/PikaMug/Quests/compare/5.0.1...5.0.2

Our first minor release of the year fixes particles sometimes not appearing above NPCs' heads (provided the client has particles enabled). It also retires code which handled old string formats for objective messages, so regenerating your /lang folder is highly recommended for this release. This is especially true for Chinese localization, even if it's not your server's default language.

Thank you for sticking with us for over nine years of updates on SpigotMC!

Quests 5 has landed! Those of you coming from last release will find updates to the Quest Compass and custom objectives. The rarely-used /qa pointsall command was also removed. For those of you joining us from Quests 4, the important thing to know is that much has changed under the hood, so you'll need to update any integrations like modules.

With this release, the Quests plugin is now considered feature-complete. Future updates will be focused on bug fixes, but pull requests continue to be welcomed on Github. If you would like to see Quests on other platforms, consider helping reach the sponsorship goal (thank you Pebblehost for your continued support).

As always, thanks for choosing Quests!

For changes in this version, see https://github.com/PikaMug/Quests/compare/5.0.0-rc.3...5.0.0

Development builds of ZNPCsPlus which support Minecraft 1.20 have been tested compatible with this release (thanks, D3v1s0m). Storage files have been moved to an aptly-named subfolder, and a new format for quest IDs ('000001' instead of 'custom1') will be the standard going forward. Players losing connection during a reach-location objective will now retain their progress upon return. As always, kindly let us know of any problems you encounter through Github.

Thanks for choosing Quests!

For changes in this version, see https://github.com/PikaMug/Quests/compare/5.0.0-rc.2...5.0.0-rc.3

All reported bugs have been squashed for this pre-release, and a good majority of resources have been updated for compatibility with Quests 5. Now would be a good time to update for those whom skipped—or had trouble with—the last one. Our next few releases will mainly focus on quality-of-life improvements and new features, but please continue to inform us of any concerns on Github or Discord.

Did you know that plums were one of the first fruits humans domesticated? While it took thousands of years to breed new varieties, we plan to get Quests 5.0.0 out to you in just a few pre-releases. This initial candidate doesn’t change much with the interface, but alters nearly everything under the hood, so please be aware that your existing add-ons will need to be updated!

In fact, we believe that enough has been changed since the initial release of Quests that it qualifies as a unique offering. Starting with this update, the project is now licensed under MIT, which basically means it’s never been easier for developers to contribute! Our fellow code monkeys should also note that the internal package name has changed to me.pikamug.quests and all deprecated methods have been removed. Please direct any questions to Github or Discord.

Thanks for choosing Quests!

Similar to a slow-growing plant, this update rewards your patience with something beautiful: confirmed support for Minecraft 1.20, plus a number of bug fixes. Empty book titles are now permissible in quests, and the cancel-timer action will no longer fail players (use fail-quest instead). Quests is now available in Bulgarian, along with its documentation, both of which were translated by a handsome, unnamed individual.

This version's updates include:

• Book titles can be null
• Cancel timer does not auto-fail quest
• Reveal display names and update library
• Permit yes/no input from source or client
• Update AstralBooks to latest version by @NicoNeko

New languages completed via Crowdin:

• Bulgarian (translator asked not to be credited)

As per usual, a few prickly problems have been resolved in this release. The newly released ZNPCsPlus 1.0.6 (a fork of ZNPCs) can now be used in place of Citizens for packet-based NPCs. Support for Party and Friends Extended Edition for Bungeecord/Velocity (not the free version) has been added through Unite, although untested. Please continue to report bugs on Github.

This version's updates include:

• Limit tameable mob selection
• Check quest reqs despite number completed
• More descriptive module failure notice
• Prevent item place during brew obj
• Experimental support for ZNPCsPlus
• Update locale library
  
• Require plugin at offer creation

This release treats a few problems introduced to quest requirements from the previous update. A fix for the loading of tame objectives restores the hunt for every pet-worthy mob, from Camel to Wolf. Moreover, if you need to abandon the quest, that should no longer be an issue with this version.

This version's updates include:

• Ignore quest requirements if empty
• Fix loading of underscored mobs-to-tame
• Pass plugin to abandon prompt

We have traveled far by camelback to bring you another juicy update, this time tested with Minecraft 1.19.4 and experimental features! Our steed stepped on a number of bugs along the way, and developers will note a few code changes scattered among the sands. You can now toggle whether to show completed objectives in your config file.

This version's updates include:

• NEW show completed objectives setting
• Deny actions and conditions not installed
• Prompt formatting cleanup
  
• Refactor prompt names
• Change modified note strings
• Improve NPC UUID prompts
• Increment objective index before continue
• Better quality objective display method
• Update locale library
• Update NPC ID-related exception messages
• Prevent double party kill obj increment
• Stop matching kill obj to progress maker
• Correct default return of item prompt
• Cleaner quest accept prompt input
• Deny physical journal to Chiseled Bookshelf
• CitizensBooks is now AstralBooks
• Update repo for AstralBooks by @NicoNeko
  
• Quest requirements must be loaded as ID
• Cleaner data in item prompt

Aloha! This release is considerably bigger than the last one, fixing compatibility with older Minecraft versions and introducing two juicy new conditions! We're also glad to support Party and Friends Extended for Spigot (not for Bungeecord/Velocity) and resolve an issue with general party integration.

This version's updates include:

• Correct loading on legacy servers
• NEW while within ticks condition
• NEW while wearing condition
• Fire fail action synchronously
• Fix external party plugin support
• Support Party and Friends for Spigot using Unite

As we continue to revel in the new year, our resolution of improving Quests is already bearing fruit... or is it bearing vegetables? Either way, this tiny Tomato Update is good for you!

This version's updates include:

• Fix NPC particles
• Avoid exception on unpopulated lang files

We hope those of you whom celebrate had an easy time taking down the Christmas tree, and the precarious decorations whether they be high or low. Those of you whom tuned in to the Lucuma Update notes won't be shocked that we've eliminated PhatLoots integration, but it's all right— a free module is available. Developers, be advised that we removed the old confirmation setting fields forever.

This version's updates include:

• Descriptive error for null file objects
• Support placeholders in ask message
• Return cancelled objective events
• Clean up spacing
• Add debug console logging for party count
• Catch missing Citizens for kill IDs
• Finalize matching item display workaround
• Add view effect event
• Actions ignore extra command parameters
• Remove PhatLoots integration in favor of module
• Explicitly set config header
• Trigger legacy material support at startup
• Remove deprecated confirmation setting

This update serves a few improvements to nibble on, from more clickable prompts to compatibility with the latest versions of Heroes ( free or premium). How custom item names are handled in the Quest Journal has been made more palatable, and repeat-clicking blocks to start a quest will no longer gobble up your chat lines. Enjoy!

This version's updates include:

• Update dependencies
• Use item display names in Quest Journal
• Prevent multiple block start attempts
• Re-add more clickable prompts
• Skip help output of choice command

We've improved upon the saving of player data for large servers - note that server shutdown and /questadmin reload may take slightly longer to execute as a result. Ukrainian localization is here, along with "Yes / No" to accept a quest once again being clickable. Certain strings such as objective progress will now appear properly for Bedrock Edition players when using Floodgate.

This version's updates include:

• Wait if necessary for quester save
• Re-add clickable accept prompt
• Improve Geyser/Floodgate compatibility

New languages completed via Crowdin:

• Ukrainian (nazarx9, Yura432, wldwcz)

Japanese localization has been completed and experience requirements are back in working order. A workaround by @Datatags restores clickable text on 1.19 servers (where supported). As always, report any issues on Github.

This version's updates include:

• Restore exp requirement check
• Re-add clickable text in 1.19 by @Datatags
• Already conversing grammar correction

New languages completed via Crowdin:

• Japanese (lenlino, BurstLime, hiihfreemail, grapepanda0521, Nemy__zZ, lovers_hacker, hayabusa319, suzumiyaasuna880, 10103toto, 96neko9090)

• Separate method to prepare GUI items
• Consolidate custom data string formatting
• Reject null Lang keys

It's summertime here! While we cool off from the heat, consider installing this update to fix cooldowns not working on your server. Blocks like Coral will once again appear correctly in chat, and we've added a warning about ZNPCs integration while we wait for the tide. Surf's up!

This version's updates include:

• Update locale library
• Reorder NPC offer acceptance
• Bump mysql-connector-java
• Send ZNPCs usage warning

We are proud to confirm support for Minecraft 1.19, along with auto-translation of text into the client's language, if available on Crowdin. This new feature can be toggled via the language-override-client setting.

The ability to create new PhatLoots rewards has been removed as this lesser-used feature has been delegated to a free module. Existing rewards will continue to function for the next few updates in order to ease the transition.

ZNPCs integration has begun but will currently break after a server restart. If you would like to see full support in a future update, please leave a nice comment on this Github issue.

This version's updates include:

• NEW translate to client language with setting
• Auto-fill item requirement list
• Update and expose language setting
• Update input validity strings
  
• Update locale library
• Suppress PhatLoots integration in favor of module
• Preliminary support for ZNPCs

This release reverts the behavior of NPCs displaying a message when clicked despite not being associated with Quests. Also, new experience requirements and some Action toggles not functioning properly has been resolved. Don't forget that community help is available on Discord and any errors may be reported on Github.

This version's updates include:

• Correct loading of exp requirement
• Show help on qa subcommand lacking args
• Properly display command usage
• Add ignore-block-replace quest option by @therbz
  
• Ignore NPCs without plugin affiliation
• Fix saving of new Action booleans
• Begin to support NPC in Denizen script

Improvements have been made upon the changes to NPC integration added in the previous release. Placing a block once again deducts from blocks broken - thanks, @therbz - and tab completion will now only list applicable quests where appropriate. As always, please continue to get help on Discord and report errors on Github.

This version's updates include:

• Avoid errors without NPC
• Adjust custom module prompts
• All NPCs use UUID instead
• Tab complete applicable quests only
• NPCs killable with projectiles
• Auto-fill supplemental objective lists
• Meet condition for talk and custom objs
• Deduct from blocks broken objective by @therbz
  
• Update toggle for cancel action timer
• Forego no more quest string if empty
• Some conditions only need at least one present
• Update more editor toggles

A new experience requirement has been added and a number of issues related to Citizens integration have been resolved. When creating quests, NPCs are now selected immediately upon click; subsequently entering an ID is no longer necessary. Similar to the last release, Silk Touch messages will now be sent to the action bar instead of chat.

This version's updates include:

• Address color in action mob prompts
• Fix quest edit select prompt by @Cerus
• Send Silk Touch message to action bar
• Disallow addition of null item to stages
• NEW experience requirement
• Clean up YAML storage methods
• Catch charged Crossbow state
• Track NPCs by UUID instead

• Adjust custom module prompts

QuestsBar is now available to show a boss bar for objective progress.

Enclosed is a hotfix for the previous release of Quests, which made finishing some objectives difficult. In other news, condition messages will now be sent to the action bar instead of chat, the frequency of which can still be modified with the condition-inverval config setting.

This version's updates include:

• Fix exception on NPC right-click
• Send condition messages to action bar
• Convert block ID input to name

Quests-Bungee is no longer required for MySQL player data on Bungeecord servers; you may delete the jar.

Since this project's inception, the Quest Journal ( /quests journal) has been a physical item that lived in your player's inventory. Going forward, the command will open a book without taking up any space, through the power of Bookapi. If you still prefer an item, however, simply toggle the new give-journal-item config setting. Note that QuestsGUI users may still override this functionality if their Quest Journal GUI is enabled.

This version's updates include:

• Translate mob names in Quest Journal
  
• Translate item names in Quest Journal
• Fix progress sharing on some objs
• Default to Quests Journal without item
• Cleanup action list prompts
• Do not build version modules
• Remove bungee module
• Update library
• Adjust mob-spawn action prompt
• Delay player data load by SakurajiKanade

Updating is highly recommended due to an issue with loading player data in the previous release. Quests-Bungee has also been updated for those using MySQL on their BungeeCord servers. Administrators can now elect to spawn multiple entities at once using the Action Editor ( /quests actions).

This version's updates include:

• Save on Bungee server switch
• Restore multiple mob-spawn per action
• Tropical Fish variant must match
• Forego permission check on login
• Remove color on quest tab complete

BungeeCord servers can now use MySQL for player data through Quests-Bungee. After installing Quests on your Spigot/Paper server(s), simply download the Quests-Bungee jar and place it in your BungeeCord server's plugin folder. The jar has no other functionality at this time. In other news, we have restored titles on 1.8 servers and fixed an issue where clicking certain quest names in the editor could result in the user being kicked.

This version's updates include:

• Clickable quest requirement list
• Prevent color click kick
• Send 1.8 titles using packets
• NEW sql support for Bungee via plugin
• Check for player on compass update
• Load quester data at login
• Update locale library
• Remove new line on stage actions
• Better command validation
• Test progress for expired delays
• Fix new line on some action prompts

Last time, we hinted at some new changes coming to Quests. One such change is included in this version: tab completion for commands (where applicable). We've also packaged the usual bug fixes along with some language corrections. Visit us on Crowdin if you'd like to contribute a few translations to your favorite locale.

This version's updates include:

• Format actions timers
• NEW tab completion for commands
• Restore quest not found message
• Correct string replacement
• Clear compass target on quest quit
• Exclude bullet from custom objectives
• Avoid NPE on some missing translations

For this update, we included support for newer versions of Denizen, as well as party support for SimpleClans when using Unite. Groundwork has been laid for some exciting changes ahead, in addition to the usual handful of bug fixes. Don't forget to report any issues on Github.

This version's updates include:

• Support Denizen 1.2.2+
• Update quester on set stage
• Abstract command classes
• Fix multiplayer place block objectives
• Support SimpleClans party using Unite
• Warn missing completed times for SQL
• Fix kill NPC objectives
• Armor can be removed as requirement

As we observe the Lunar New Year, please take a moment to read about these important changes.

Users: This update contains some changes which might break how other resources interact with Quests. If you experience an incompatibility with another plugin or module, please report this to the other resource's author as well as on our Github issue tracker.

The ask-confirmation config setting has been replaced with confirm-accept (same behavior) and confirm-abandon (ask confirmation on quit). A new condition-inverval setting has been added for timing of Condition notifications (must be within 3 and 180 seconds).

Developers: In our last update, we informed you of a new artifact ID when using build tools like Maven. In addition to quests-api, you might also need to depend on quests-core for this version of Quests. Our goal is for this second dependency to be temporary as we attempt to maintain some backwards compatibility until the next major release.

This version's updates include:

• Quest compass improvements
• Correct setting of item consume objectives
• Split ask-confirmation setting
• Ask for confirmation on quit
• Add condition notice interval setting
• Correct improper merge conflicts

• Update dependencies
• Add keepalive property to config
• Avoid exception from misconfigured SQL table
• Remove legacy allow-quitting config node
• Refactor to core module

This yuletide season, we present you with full Minecraft 1.18 support. Developers should take care to use the new module artifact ID if depending on this release with a build tool like Maven. As always, please continue to report issues on Github. Happy holidays from Quests!

This version's updates include:

• Send quest titles using Bukkit API
• Exclude * permission from Trial Mode check
• Deal with spaces in sheep colors
• Move conversation listener to separate class
• Store quest NPCs by their ID
• Rename quests-main module to quests-api
• Return from custom module prompts after clear
• Update a couple of strings
• Skip condition notice if objective override exists
• Remove excessive new lines in editor
• Update dependencies

Since we sailed away from Minecraft 1.7 support in our previous update, this opens many possibilities for Quests. We hope to add a number of xenial changes for your visitors - the first addition by @Datatags is that most prompt text is now clickable, including "Yes / No" to accept a quest. Please note that Spigot objects are required, meaning that you can't use plain ol' Bukkit anymore!

This version's updates include:

• Add clickable menus support by @Datatags
  
• Fix transfer of lang files to directory paths with spaces
• Better way of doing aaf5472, thanks @datatags
• Password objectives separable by semicolon
• Resolve impasse from Enchanted Books
• Clickable quest accept prompt
• Correct sheep color formatting
• Patch multi-stack item delivery
• Fix deliver item after relog on SQL
• Resolve cast issue for custom module prompts
• Default Trial Mode false for quests.* permission
• Ignore OPs when checking for limited access

After six and a half years, this is the last update before we withdraw support for Minecraft 1.7.9 - 1.7.10 versions. To the 0.2% of servers this affects (according to bStats), we thank you for choosing Quests. Your throwback Cauldron server may continue to use Quests 4.1.1 as long as your heart desires.

This release corrects an issue when first generating the MySQL structure for player data, then attempting to set multiple targets for certain objectives. Specifically, the `quests_player_questdata` table should have the `mobs_killed`, `mobs_tamed`, `sheep_sheared`, and `custom_counts` columns be of data type VARCHAR(100) instead of INT. For an existing table which you do not wish to regenerate, an example command is as follows:
This version's updates include:

• Correct miscellaneous MySQL data types
• Correct mobs_killed MySQL data type
• Add notice for Trial Mode at menus
• Restore compatibility with MC <1.11
• Do not require Action mob name

Due to increasingly popular demand, the quests.admin.trial permission has been changed to quests.mode.trial to prevent those with a wildcard ('*') permission value from inadvertently enabling Trial Mode.

The mcMMO Overhaul plugin can now be used for multiplayer party support via Unite. Note that the built-in reward and requirement still use mcMMO Classic, although a free module for Overhaul is available.

As always, please continue to report issues on Github!

This version's updates include:

• Correct permission condition loading
• Change Trial Mode permission node
• Add custom module submenu
• Attempt to reduce compile time
• Expose module name
• Expose module item
• Location obj members must share world
• Support mcMMO Overhaul party using Unite
• Restore event trigger for multiplayer prompt

In addition to the typical bug fixes, an update checker has been added. You may disable it by setting update-check: false in the configuration file, if desired. The checker may also be shown or hidden from view using the new quests.admin.update permission.

Don't forget to join the Discord for announcements on development, new releases, and community tips and tricks!

This version's updates include:

• Restore auto-fill block durability
• Revert item meta comparison
• Fix some item objectives not working on relog
• Prevent placeholder condition from pausing load
• Update check with config setting and permission
• Always continue kill objective checks
• Resolve kill objectives not incrementing

On the surface, no significant changes have been made for this release. Under the hood, the entire code base has been made less error-prone and easier to read for developers. If you are fluent in Java and/or MySQL, we encourage you to lend us a hand on Github.

Fluent in a spoken language? Check out our Crowdin page where you can help translate Quests into your favorite language. Big or small, no contribution is trivial.

This version's updates include:

• Limit notice to finish of custom obj

A new Trial Mode has been introduced which is useful for controlling the scope of novice administrators' abilities within Quests. The permission - quests.admin.trial - is disabled by default, however those using wildcard ('*') permissions may need to explicitly set it false. As always, please report issues on Github.

MySQL implementation for player data is complete (objective progress is now saved on disconnect). Several major changes were necessary and, as a result, you may need to adjust Password objectives as well as Chat/Command Actions. Developers may need to update resources which depend on Quests.

Speaking of, native integration with DungeonsXL has been removed. In order to continue using it, you will now need to install Unite on your server. This was done to facilitate future updates and support more party plugins in the future.

This version's updates include:

• Add restrictive trial mode with permission
• Config setting to toggle saving in trial mode
• Get entities correctly for quest compass
• Show extended help in trial mode
• Properly load last known name when using SQL

• Disable DungeonsXL integration
• Integrate DungeonsXL using Unite

Quests is officially compatible with the 1.17 release of Minecraft. Everything from Axolotl to Rooted Dirt are available for use. Speaking of dirt, the most recent versions of Quests are also compatible - only a built-in dependency called LocaleLib broke with the new update. If you notice any errors which mention LocaleLib, please report them on the library's issue tracker.

We also have a new multiplayer server for trying out Quests and related resources, sponsored by Browsit. Come for the demo, stay for the 1.17 survival world and creative plots. See you there!

This version's updates include:

• Update for MC 1.17
• Use logical operator for override
• Ignore inconsequential inventory clicks
• Format money in rewards prompt
• Delegate currency formatting to Vault
• Fix double count for kill-NPC objectives
• Ignore reach-location points in different worlds

Attn Developers: See notice from last release (Pivotal Update).

We've adjusted distance calculation for reach-location objectives, correcting an issue from the previous update where entering the radius of a second point would often not update the objective. GPS-Quests has been improved, as well. Enchantments which cannot be applied during normal gameplay (but can through commands) should no longer cause problems with deliver-item objectives.

This version's updates include:

• Allow unsafe enchantments on item delivery objectives
• Workaround for incomplete quester data
• Fix issues with reach-location objectives

Attn Developers: This release is pivotal for your projects which depend on Quests. Methods for acquiring a list of loaded quests, actions or conditions have been deprecated in a bid for improved performance, and will only continue to be available for at least the next three releases. Please update to the new method(s) in accordance with this commit.

This version's updates include:

• Warn console of failed teleport Action
  
• Adjust locale for invalid ISO code
  
• Hide password objective phrase from server chat
  
• Remove error output from null stage on player chat
  
• Permit duplicate materials for item objectives
  
• Hide attributes from NPC GUI items
  
• Avoid error from extensive reach locations
  
• Restore saving of Action mob inventory

Bug fixes for several objective types are enclosed, as well as a solution for a couple (harmless) errors which had been overlooked in recent updates. Please continue to report issues on Github - your feedback is appreciated!

This version's updates include:

• Adjust kill NPC objective to progress to next stage

• Close editor NPC selection if talk objective is aborted
  
• Suppress error from null current stage on reload

For this update, we've covered a scenario in which naughty players could move the Quest Journal outside of their inventory. Minecarts of all types may be specified for ride conditions and player data will now reload more efficiently. There are also several quality-of-life improvements, such as making some prompts easier to read with high quest counts and by sorting input lists alphabetically.

QuestsGUI (premium) has been updated with new features! Follow all compatibility requirements.

This version's updates include:

• Pass additional item prompt text for overlay plugins

A new quests.compass permission is required in order to track objectives using a Compass, which players can now right-click on to select another quest, or left-click to reset. Editors can now set text overrides for rewards and requirements. As such, command-specific overrides can no longer be set, however, existing ones will continue to work as expected. The naming of "objective display override" has changed to match - refresh your lang file to see!

You can now specify a world for permission rewards, which you'll also see applied to offline players (great if, for example, a party member gets disconnected while others complete a quest). The /quests stats command has been improved to help prevent a potential loss of data, and as such, updating to this version is highly recommended.

Support for Denizen 1.1.1+ is now included, as well as a fix for scripts as actions causing a minor error on fresh installations. If you're looking for some interesting Denizen scripts to try, check out this project (not sponsored). Translation of enchantment names has been improved, most notably for MC 1.13 and up.

Denizen scripts are now handled exclusively via the Actions Editor ( /quests actions). Quests which had their scripts triggered alongside objectives will continue to work, but it is no longer possible to set up scripts in this manner. Also, sometimes when delivering an item to a Citizens NPC, progress would display improperly (for example, a server reboot might've caused Deliver Carrot to Top: 0/32 to show as Delivery Carrot to Top: 0/0). This has been corrected.

Please note that Quests does not support versions newer than Denizen 1.1.0 at this time.

QuestsGUI is now available as a premium resource (currently in alpha)! Use it to add inventory GUI to major editor prompts and select commands!

Improved support for items with extraneous data such as Written Books and Potions. Even filled Shulker Boxes can now be used in quests! Read more about this change here.

Multiplayer (group quest) support has been overhauled by @AlessioDP, maker of the excellent Parties plugin! Once installed, you can let several players take your quest together if enabled under Edit Options in the Quest Editor.

An annoying glitch from Quests 3.7.8 where quests containing an item reward could not have their item edited again after save has been resolved. As always, report any new bugs on Github.

BREAKING: This marks the completion of the new localization system! However, updating requires that you regenerate your preferred language file ( /lang/****/strings.yml) after backing up your old one.

This version's updates include:

• NEW add limited PlaceholderAPI support
  
• Lang corrections, reduce duplicate strings
