Essential Commands v0.14.0 (1.17.x & 1.16.5)

New:

• Added highly experimental EssentialsX homes converter to aid in porting spigot servers to Fabric.
• Added Clickable Accept/Reject chat buttons for TPA requests.
• Added command /tpahere

Fixed Bugs:

• home/warp list commands fail with no feedback in the case whre no homes/warps are set.
• Teleport requests can be accepted multiple times if the user sends the command multiple times in a single tick. #48
• NPE bug in /nickname reveal <nickname> that cause the command to just... never work (idk how I missed this lol).
• Change defaultrequirelevel of ec & wb from 2 to 0. (Previously, this prevented non-opped players from using wb & ec on servers not using permissions)

Change to version naming: For a while now, every version of Essential Commands has been labled as a "beta". This will no longer be the case. Starting with this version, published builds will be marked as releases. This does not reflect any change in stability.
