I want to announce that I PM2. will from now on be taking care of both LPC and LPC Pro plugins. Since taking over I have worked hard on adding lots of new features, adding all of the promised features to you by the previous author and releasing the plugin's wiki. Do note that this new version contains a LOT of new features and even though considering that our team has tested the plugin, there might still end up some errors or bugs here and there. If you do come across them, feel free to drop by our discord support server and report them there, I will be more than happy to have them fixed for us all! https://discord.com/invite/HvkTfxCKyw

Added proper support for Minecraft 1.21.5 which fixes e.g. hover issues on that version.

Fixed a bug that caused &#rrggbb tags to not reset previous decorations such as bold or italics.

Added config.yml file in main plugin's folder.
Added options to enable/disable features in config.yml:
- enable-private-messages - enables /msg, /r, /ignore, /unignore for private messaging
- enable-ignore-messages - enables /ignore, /unignore for the global chat
Added console update notifier, which can be disabled in config.yml - check-for-updates.

Patch for a <shadow> for some Paper versions

This update implements a permanent fix for the <pride>, <shadow>, <score> and <nbt> MiniMessage tags which have been disabled in update 1.1.2 to prevent issues on certain Paper versions.

Fixed hover messages on 1.8.8 Spigot and Paper.

Added new permissions and their new defaults:
lpcpro.command.reload:
description: Reload the plugin.
default: op
lpcpro.command.msg:
description: Send a private message to a player.
default: true
lpcpro.command.reply:
description: Reply to a private message.
default: true
lpcpro.command.ignore:
description: Ignore a player.
default: true
lpcpro.command.ignore.bypass:
description: Don't let others ignore you.
default: op
lpcpro.command.unignore:
description: Stop ignoring a player.
default: true

Added an option to use open: and copy: keys in formats instead of click: "open_url:value" or click: "copy_to_clipboard:value".

New Features:

• ➕ Added /msg <player> <message> – send private messages
  
  
• ➕ Added /r <message> – reply to the last received private message
  
  
• ➕ Added /ignore <player> – block messages from specific players
  
  
• ➕ Added /unignore <player> – unblock previously ignored players

• Introduced messages.json which support MiniMessage and legacy tags for customizable messages
  

Just a small fix to remove an unnecessary debugging message in the console when a player sends legacy color codes in a message.

Fixed an issue where MiniMessage tags were not being translated correctly in player messages e.g. <red> didn't work even if player had lpcpro.message.color.red permission.

This update resolves an issue where legacy colors were not properly resetting the text shadow, leading to unwanted styling artifacts in chat components. The fix ensures that whenever legacy colors are applied, any pre-existing text shadow styles are cleared.

Fixed loading MiniMessage on some server versions.

This update implements a temporary fix - the <pride>, <score>, and <nbt> MiniMessage tags have been disabled to prevent issues on certain Paper versions. These changes improve stability while maintaining core functionality.

A more permanent solution will be explored in future updates. If you encounter any issues, please report them!

This update resolves issues related to hex color rendering in user display names and nicknames.

This update includes a complete recode of the plugin, addressing various issues and compatibility problems, especially with other plugins and chat event overrides. Also, we've added the /lpcpro reload command (with the alias /lpc reload) for easy plugin reloading and made significant performance improvements, particularly for servers with large player counts. A key addition is the new chat.yml file, which replaces the old default.yml as the fallback format. This allows you to specify a unique format (e.g., message color) for the default rank while keeping the same format for other ranks. Additionally, format files now support an optional part-separator key for more customized message formatting. Moreover, the file size is now >10x smaller, just to inform those who value it

Fixed an issue where PlaceholderAPI placeholders were not being parsed correctly in clickable text in formats.

• Fixed LiteBans mutes not working properly (muted players can no longer send messages)

• Added plugin compatibility with LiteBans.

Added a <pride> tag with lpcpro.message.pride permission.

To see what flags you can use with this tag, check: https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html#pride

Fixed an issue where PlaceholderAPI placeholders were not being parsed correctly in LuckPerms prefix and suffix in formats.

Previously, using &r would reset all formatting, including interactive elements like <hover> and <click>, causing unintended behavior where tooltips and clickable actions were lost.

With this fix, &r now only resets text formatting (such as color and decorations) while preserving hover and click functionality, improving compatibility with legacy text formatting while maintaining interactive elements.

Previously, legacy color codes (e.g., &7) did not reset decorations like &l (bold), causing unintended formatting carryover. This fix ensures that color codes automatically reset text decorations to prevent formatting issues.
