⚠️ WHAT WAS FIXED

This hotfix resolves a critical bug where the permission lore was still visible to players who had the required permission.

The Problem:
When you assigned a permission to an item, the lore "✘ You don't have permission to use this" would appear on the item. However, even when a player HAD the permission, the lore would still be visible instead of being hidden.

Why It Happened:
The plugin was comparing the lore text using an exact match (including all color codes). If you:

1. Created an item with a permission
2. Later changed the lore message in the language file
3. The comparison would fail because savedLore ≠ newLoreText

✅ WHAT'S FIXED

➤ Dynamic Lore System Now Works Correctly

• ✅ Lore automatically hides for players with the required permission
• ✅ Works with items created in v1.0.0 and v1.1.0
• ✅ Comparison now ignores color code formatting
• ✅ The hide-for-permitted-players config option now works as intended
• ✅ Changing the lore message in language files no longer breaks the system

UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

For Server Owners:

1. Stop your server
2. Backup your current plugin JAR (just in case!)
3. Delete SimpleItemsPerms-1.1.0.jar
4. Upload SimpleItemsPerms-1.1.1.jar to plugins/
5. Start your server
6. Run /sip reload (optional, but recommended)

For Existing Items:

Option A - Automatic Update (Recommended):

• Players just need to relog or open their inventory
• The lore will update automatically based on their current permissions
• No manual intervention needed!

Option B - Manual Recreation (Optional):

• Use /sip remove on old items
• Reassign permissions with /sip gui
• This guarantees 100% compatibility

TESTING RECOMMENDATIONS

After updating, test the fix:

1. Create a NEW item with /sip gui
2. Assign a permission (e.g., test)
3. Test as a player WITHOUT permission:
- You should see the lore ✅
- You should NOT be able to use the item ✅
4. Give yourself the permission: /lp user YourName permission set simpleitemsperms.test true
5. Relog or open your inventory
6. The lore should be HIDDEN ✅✅✅
7. You should now be able to use the item ✅

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES

Good News:

• ✅ All permissions continue to work - this was purely a visual bug
• ✅ No configuration changes needed
• ✅ Backwards compatible with v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 items
• ✅ The hide-for-permitted-players config option now works correctly
• ✅ Items created with older versions will work after a relog

What This Means:
If a player had permission but was still seeing the "no permission" lore, that was just a visual bug. The permission system itself was working correctly - they could use the item, but the lore wasn't hiding. Now it hides properly!

COMPATIBILITY

• ✅ Minecraft: 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.3+
• ✅ Server Software: Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish
• ✅ Java Version: 21+
• ✅ Permission Plugins: LuckPerms, PermissionsEx, GroupManager, etc.
• ✅ Backwards Compatibility: Items from v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 work perfectly
