Animal Hunger

This update focuses on critical internal improvements, database integrity, and user experience. We have rewritten key parts of the storage system to ensure your data is safe and the plugin runs smoother than ever.

⚡ Major Database Overhaul:

Auto-Migration System: Added a smart database migration tool. If you are updating from an older version, the plugin will now automatically detect missing data columns (like Animal Home data) and repair the database structure without losing any existing pets.

Schema Validation: Fixed the critical [SQLITE_ERROR] no such column crash. The plugin now verifies the database integrity on every startup.

Improved MySQL/MariaDB Support: Optimized connection pooling and fixed potential timeouts when using external databases. ⚡ Update Checker Improvements:

Logic Rewritten: Completely overhauled the version comparison algorithm.

Fixed False Positives: Fixed a bug where the plugin would annoyingly alert you about a "New Update" even if you were already using the latest version.

Console & Chat Sync: Update notifications are now more accurate and less intrusive for admins. ⚡ Performance & Console Management:

Cleaner Startup: Significantly reduced console spam. Removed unnecessary debug messages about "Database connections" and "Table verifications" to keep your server logs clean and readable.

Resource Optimization: Improved how the plugin handles data saving tasks to reduce server lag spikes. ⚡ Bug Fixes & Polishing:

Config Handling: Fixed issues where certain configuration values (like storage types) could cause errors if formatted incorrectly.

Error Handling: Added better error protection to prevent the plugin from disabling itself if a minor database hiccup occurs.

General Refactoring: Internal code cleanup for better long-term stability and compatibility with newer Minecraft versions.
