Just fixed a minor problem with the update checker, the numbers were formatted the wrong way...

- Support for 1.18 (new config comments)
- Speccycle has been revised
- Added BossBar during Speccycle, where it shows the name of the current target (can be enabled/disabled in the config.yml)

I also updated the wiki, which you can find here

ProtocolLib is no longer needed:
Due to a bug, I decided to remove ProtocolLib. Mirroring Inventory by hitting a Player is now possible with an event.

Container Mirroring:
As it was requested by Skeerik, I added a possibility to mirror containers.
There are 2 new Config values and 2 new Permissions:
Config Values:
- Settings.Inventory.OpenContainers, Default true (Allows mirroring containers)
- Settings.Inventory.OpenEnderChest, Default false (Allows mirroring enderchests)

Permissions:
- spectator.utils.opencontainers
- spectator.utils.openenderchest

Please note:
Not every container can be mirrored this way. Only "public" containers like Chests, TrappedChests, EnderChests, Barrels etc

Those Inventories cannot be mirrored:
Enchanter, Anvil, Loom, Grindstone, Stonecutter, Beacon, SmithingTable, CartographyTable, CraftingTable

Fixed error message, when server has flying (getAllowFlight()) disabled.

Fixed error with cycle when a spectate-target is leaving the game.
Also fixed some permissions issues in plugin.yml

What's new in this Update?

1. Files:
I separated the config.yml from the messages - There are now TWO files.
The config has comments that describe every value. If there is an update with the config, the plugin automatically creates a backup of your old config and creates the new config file.

2. Effects:
Similar to the Inventory mirroring, the plugin now also gives the spectator the effects of the target.
This can be de-/activated in the config.yml. ("TargetEffects")
The permission needed for this is: "spectator.utils.mirroreffects"

3. bStats:
I added bStats to the Plugin.

4. UpdateChecker:
You can now enable/disable, to get a notification if the plugin has an update (on Join).
This can be de-/activated in the config.yml. ("NotifyOnUpdate")
The permission needed for this is: "spectator.notify.update"

5. Some smaller things:
I fixed some problems with the cycle, hope this will fix the issue completely…

I changed the API-Version by mistake, should now work for 1.16.5 again.
Also added Metadata "vanished" when entering Spectator-Mode (Might be Useful for Plugins like BungeeTabListPlus.)

The Plugin was successfully updated to 1.17!
TabCompletion was also added in this update.
