SmartPets v2.0.1 - Improved Pet Selection & Major Bug Fixes
Release Date: 2025-01-23 Type: Recommended Update (Critical Fixes) Priority: HIGH

Key Improvements
Smart Pet Selection
You can now interact with pets using their Name, UUID, or just a Prefix of either!

• Before: You often had to use the exact random UUID (e.g., /pet select 3e687eaf) or the command would fail.
• Now: Just type /pet select Fido (or whatever your pet is named). It just works.
• Bonus: Tab completion now correctly suggests names that are actually valid.

HEX Colors & Custom Prefixes

• HEX Support: Use modern, vibrant colors in all messages! Format: &#RRGGBB (e.g., &#FF5733MyPet).
• Custom Prefixes: You can finally customize or remove the plugin prefix. Check lang.yml for new options like prefix, prefix.error, etc.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Pet Selection (Critical): Resolved a critical issue where commands would incorrectly error out (claiming "Pet died" or "Not found") when using pet names.
• Fixed Message Placeholders: Messages like "Are you sure you want to release {arg0}?" now correctly show the pet name/details instead of the raw variable text.
• Fixed Console Spam: Debug messages ("Pet is active...", "Loaded emotions...", etc.) are now properly hidden when debug: false is set in config.yml.
• Fixed Tab Completion: Suggestions in commands like /pet select and /pet release are now accurate.

Compatibility

• Minecraft Versions: 1.16.5 - 1.21.x
• Software: Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Folia (Experimental)
• Java: Java 17 or higher required.
• HEX Colors: Requires Minecraft 1.16+ client and server.
