LyttleNametag

v1.3.1 This pull request updates the build tooling and dependencies to keep the project up-to-date and compatible with recent versions. The main changes are version bumps for the plugin, Paper platform, and Gradle itself. Dependency and tooling updates: * Bumped the pluginVersion from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 and updated the paperVersion from 1.21.8 to 1.21.11 in gradle.properties to ensure compatibility with the latest Paper server releases. * Upgraded the Gradle wrapper from version 8.11.1 to 8.14.4 in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to use the latest Gradle features and bug fixes.

v1.3.0 This pull request introduces significant updates to modernize the LyttleNametag plugin for Minecraft 1.21 and Paper, including a migration to Paper's new command and plugin lifecycle system, integration with PacketEvents, and several configuration and dependency improvements. The changes enhance maintainability, compatibility, and future-proofing of the plugin. Core Plugin Modernization and Refactoring: * Migrated command registration to use Paper's Brigadier-based command system and lifecycle events, replacing Bukkit's legacy command executor and tab completer. The LyttleNametagCommand class now defines commands using Brigadier and is registered during the appropriate plugin lifecycle event.

v1.3.0 This pull request migrates the plugin from Bukkit's legacy command and plugin registration system to Paper's modern APIs, refactoring command handling to use Brigadier and updating plugin metadata files for Paper compatibility. The main changes are the switch to Paper's lifecycle events for command registration, a complete rewrite of the command logic to use Brigadier, and the removal of the old plugin.yml in favor of Paper's paper-plugin.yml. Migration to Paper API and Brigadier commands: * Replaced Bukkit's command registration with Paper's lifecycle event system, registering commands via LifecycleEventManager and the new registerCommands method in LyttleNametag.java. * Refactored LyttleNametagCommand to use Brigadier for command structure, permissions, and execution, removing the old CommandExecutor and TabCompleter implementations. Now commands are registered and handled using the Commands API and Brigadier nodes. Plugin metadata and configuration updates: * Removed the legacy plugin.yml and replaced it with paper-plugin.yml and a template #defaults/paper-plugin.yml, specifying plugin metadata, authors, and dependencies in the Paper format.

v1.2.2 This pull request improves the positioning accuracy of player nametags by ensuring they always appear above the player's head, regardless of the player's current location. The main changes focus on consistently using an adjusted Y-coordinate for nametag placement and updating the configuration file format. Nametag Positioning Improvements: * Added a nametagSpawnHeight constant to NametagHandler to define the height above the player's head for nametag placement. * Updated the spawnNametag method to use baseLoc.getY() + nametagSpawnHeight when determining where to spawn the nametag, ensuring it appears above the player's head. Also, updated nametag coordinate replacements to use the adjusted location. * Modified the showNametagToPlayer method to apply the same Y-offset when showing the nametag to viewers, keeping the nametag visually consistent. Configuration Cleanup: * Removed an unnecessary comment from the nametag line in config.yml to clean up the configuration file.

v1.2.2 This pull request introduces improvements to the configuration and reloading behavior of the plugin, specifically making the update interval configurable and refactoring how nametag updates are handled. The most important changes are grouped below: Configuration Improvements: * Added a configurable interval (in seconds) for update checks in both the default and main config.yml files, and incremented the config_version to 2 to reflect this change.

Nametag Handler Refactoring: * Refactored NametagHandler to use a BukkitTask timer based on the configurable interval, ensuring periodic updates and cleanup run at the specified interval. The timer is restarted on reload.

Versioning: * Bumped the plugin version from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 in gradle.properties to reflect these updates.

v1.2.0 This pull request introduces significant enhancements to the Lyttle Nametag plugin, including a migration to a new nametag implementation using PacketEvents, configuration updates, and improved handling of player nametags. The changes aim to optimize performance, simplify the codebase, and improve maintainability.

Nametag Implementation Overhaul:

* Replaced the TextDisplay-based nametag system with a PacketEvents-based implementation, introducing the NametagEntity class for managing nametags. This change improves performance and compatibility.

Configuration Updates:

* Migrated the nametag configuration key from messages.yml to config.yml for better separation of concerns. * Updated the config_version to 1 and added comments to clarify configuration usage.

Codebase Simplifications:

* Removed legacy methods and logic for handling TextDisplay entities, including the onPlayerToggleSneak event handler and associated transformations. * Replaced HashMap with ConcurrentHashMap for thread-safe management of player nametags.

Gradle and Versioning:

* Updated pluginVersion to 1.2.0 and changed paperVersion to support version ranges (1.21.x).

Configuration Migration:

* Enhanced migrateConfig() to handle the migration of the nametag key from messages.yml to config.yml.
