ShadowCrates 2.0 Update

Changes

I fixed exploit bugs.
I fixed the Prizes Storage bugs.
I modified some commands.
I added a new animation.
I fixed the issues with Key Storages.
I fixed some database issues.
I added new values to the mod configs.
I have added 2 new formats for item prizes.
I added a new form of message broadcast to use commands for multiservers.
I added a way in config to set autobackup true/false.
I added a new command so you can open Crates without having to set up a Crate.
Now messages use the name from the "PrivewName" value for "CrateName".

Commands Chenges

I added a new command with which you can open crates without needing to use a block from a set crate, the command still requires you to have the key for that crate in order to open the crate, currently only GUI crates work.

Command: /crate open <player> <crate>
Permission: crate.open

I modified the /crate clearstorage command so that it is now two different commands with different permissions so that it can be used for players/admins.

Command: /crate storage clear
Permission: crate.storage.clear
Command: /crate storage clear <player>
Permission: crate.storage.clear.other

I modified the /crate key clear command so it now comes in two different formats with unique permissions.

Command: /crate key clear <player> all
Permission: crate.key.clear.all
Command: /crate key clear <player> <crate>
Permission: crate.key.clear

I added support for vanilla minecraft formats for: @p @r etc..

Animations

We have added a new animation for GUI formats, the new animation is called slots and it is very easy to use.

New Broadcast Message

I added a new broadcast message format so you can use commands from other mods that are for server or multiserver announcements.

"messageCustom": true,
"broadcastCustom": "tell @p &e[ShadowCrates] &a%player% &7won &b%prizes% &7from &6%cratename%"

%player% - Is for player name.
%prizes% - Is for prizes opened by the player.
%cratename% - Is for crate name.

Prizes Storage Save

I added a new value in the configs for Storage to know how many slots the player needs in their inventory to be able to claim prizes from storage, this value is only used in commands formats prizes for items formats there is no need to use it because the calculation is automatic.

// added after "weight" in config to the "command" and "command_pack" formats.
"storageClaimFreeSlots": (slots),

Auto BackUP Save

I added a method to set autobackups on server shutdown (crash/restarts/etc..), from now on you can set the value to true/false in shadowcrate/config.json

"autoBackUPs": true/false

Prizes New Formats

I have added two new formats for prizes from crates. Now you can make prizes with multiple rewards of one, using the following formats:

Format: item_pack

{
      "type": "item_pack",
      "weight": 100.0,
      "pack": [

Shadow Crate Release Changelog

i fixed the database issue, where it wouldn't let you withdraw prizes from storage.
I fixed the problems with keys permissions.
I modified the global and private message announcement system to be per prizes and can be disabled enabled.
I added placeholders that can be used in any mod that uses PlaceholderAPI-Text

New Format for Prizes:

Item:

    {
      "type": "item",
      "weight": 29.0,
      "material": "minecraft:anvil",
      "amount": 1,
      "displayname": "&8Forge of Champions",
      "lore": [
        "&7Enhance your gear with ease",
        "&bA must-have for any warrior"
      ],
      "enchantEffect": false,
      "messageGlobal": true,
      "messagePlayer": true,
      "broadcastGlobal": "&6[Crate] &e%player% &7won &6%prizes% &7from &b%cratename%&7!",
      "broadcastPlayer": "&aYou opened &b%cratename% Crate &aand received &6%prizes%&a!"
    }

Commands:

{
      "type": "command",
      "weight": 5.0,
      "command": "pokegiveother %player% bulbasaur",
      "messageGlobal": true,
      "messagePlayer": true,
      "broadcastGlobal": "&6[Crate] &e%player% &7won &6%prizes% &7from &b%cratename%&7 Crate!",

        "enchantEffect": true,

      }
    }

Remove the lines at the beginning of the config from each crate.
