Minecraft version: 1.20+

I found it was necessary to update the API dependency to the 1.20 API so that I could access the methods for hanging signs. This means that this version of SignShop will only work with 1.20+ Therefore I am upping the major version to v4.
Version 4 not only adds the ability to use hanging signs for shops it also allows text on the back of shop signs.
There are 3 allowed text states on the back of a shop sign.

1. The back can be completely blank.
2. The back can match the shop on the front EXACTLY. This will allow the back to function like the front, even updating stock status.
3. The back can contain any text except for shop formatted text or text defined in a blacklist in the config.

Version 4 still supports dying shops with the addition of being able to wax them to prevent accidental re-dying. If you change your mind you can un-wax them using a brush.

Signshop will now retry the economy hook after the server is loaded if it failed the first time.

Minecraft version: 1.13.2 - 1.19.3

This will likely be the last update for Minecraft 1.13.2 - 1.19.3. The next Signshop update will most likely be for Minecraft 1.20+ and require updating your Java version if you have not already done so.

Although this version has been extensively tested it is always recommended to make a complete backup before updating.

Recent changes:

• Adds /signshop ignore command to ignore Signshop messages.

In this release we have made some changes so that it can be used on 1.13.2+ servers (and when I say "we", I mean @Weaves). It will also convert data from 1.12.2 versions so if you have a 1.12.2 server and would like to update this would be a good starting point. I have removed support for many of the outdated plugins it once hooked into. I have also remove deprecated spigot api usage and it now supports worth from EssentialsX and CMI. Please let us know if you find any bugs. We recommend making a backup of all of your data before updating. (You should be doing that anyway)

Recent Changes:

• Added support for 1.13.2+. This version will ONLY work if you are running a 1.13.2+ server!
  
• Automatic update of the "UpdateMaterial" and "DestroyMaterial" in your config.
• Added support for custom color codes and custom prefix in player messages.
• Automatically backup the config before updating it.
• Removed support for various plugins that are no longer maintained. If we removed support for something that is still active, please let us know! These are the plugins that are being maintained, anything else was removed.
  • Vault
    
  • BentoBox
  • GriefPrevention
  • Towny
  • Worldguard
  • DynMap

Hey folks, we've got a new version of SignShop ready for you. It should fix the compatibility issues with the 1.12 API changes.
