Fredashay's Villager Chat

Recompiled for 1.16 Also gave names to the villagers rather than numbers. It generates the names randomly: consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant.

Someone requested that the plugin create a sample villager chat .TXT file if one doesn't exist. So the first time you run the plugin, it will create a sample file "FredashaySpigotVillagerChat.txt" (if it doesn't exist) containing several sample villager chat messages. As I said once before, each line of text is a separate villager chat post. Don't spread a villager chat post across two lines or put line break within a villager chat post, or the plugin will see it as separate chat posts. Also, edit the TXT file only with a text editor like Notepad or VI. Don't use a word processor like MS Word or Wordpad, as these will put hidden meta characters in the file that will confuse the plugin.

This plugin causes your villagers to spout random gibberish throughout the day. You can have your villagers tell jokes, or if you're politically inclined have them spew left-wing or right-wing propaganda, or Bible quotes if you're running a religious server, or movie quotes, or adverts if your server is part of a business, or automotive advice, or whatever else warps your starship... You can change various settings in the properties file to vary the frequency of the villager chats and add a random factor. To install this plugin, copy the plugin JAR file to your server's plugins folder. Then create a text file with Notepad or VI in the home directory of your server (where all the .PROPERTIES files and such are) named "FredashayVillagerChat.txt". Fill this file with the things you want your villagers to say. Remember, each line break will create a new thing for a different villager, so don't break a single statement with a line break, but make sure there are line breaks between each villager's statements. I currently run a Rainbow server, but I want greater functionality than the Rainbow API provides, so I've been learning Spigot. This is the first of several of my Rainbow plugins that I rewrote for Spigot.

Fixed out of bounds exception. If you have only 1 line of gibberish, it doesn't try to choose it at random. It'll only choose one at random if you have more than 1 line of gibberish.
