[1.17 - 1.21.*] ⚠️ EzClean ⚠️ Entity Clearing - Death Chest

EzClean 3.0.0 is a major update focused on usability, flexibility, and better long-term management for server owners. Highlights · Added language and i18n support for easier localization. · Added persistent statistics storage with SQLite and MySQL support. · Added an update notice for op players when they join. · Added an interactive setup GUI. · Added new help and setup commands, including /ezclean help. · Improved internal configuration structure by splitting CleanupSettings into dedicated sub-settings classes. · Updated documentation. New features Language and i18n support You can now localize plugin messages more easily, making EzClean better suited for servers with different languages or custom messaging needs. Persistent stats storage EzClean now supports SQLite and MySQL for statistics persistence. This makes it easier to keep cleanup-related data across restarts and use a more robust storage option on larger servers or networks. Update notice on join Operator players now receive an update notice when joining the server, helping staff stay aware of new plugin versions without needing to check manually. Interactive setup tools Setting up the plugin is now easier thanks to a new interactive setup GUI and help/setup command flow. The new /ezclean help command also makes it easier to find available options and get started quickly. Improvements Better settings structure CleanupSettings has been split into dedicated sub-settings classes. While this is mainly an internal improvement, it helps keep the plugin more organized and makes future maintenance and expansion easier. Documentation updates The documentation has been updated to better reflect the current configuration and setup experience. What this means for server owners · Easier setup for first-time installation and configuration. · Better support for multilingual servers. · More reliable long-term stats storage with database support. · Simpler update awareness for server staff. · Clearer documentation and a more polished management experience. Recommended after updating · Review your configuration files, especially if you are upgrading from an older version. · Choose the right stats storage option for your server: SQLite for simpler setups, MySQL for larger or multi-server environments. · Check your language/message configuration if you want to customize player-facing text. · Try the setup GUI and /ezclean help command to get familiar with the new workflow. · Make sure op players are aware they may now see update notices on join. Notes This release includes both player-facing improvements and internal structural changes. If you are upgrading from a previous major version, take a moment to review the updated documentation and confirm your setup behaves as expected before deploying broadly.
