Updated to use ProtocolLib 5.4.0
It really has been a few years since I last updated this huh. Don't expect constant updated and fixes on this as I have been burnt out on this plugin for a while now, but I at least wanted to get this out. Maybe Ill finish that 2.0.0 release I have had on the back burner for years now, likely not, who knows...
