Changelog v1.0.3

New Features:

1. Configuration Management Enhancements:

   • Dynamic Key Merging:
     • Automatically merges new configuration keys from the default config.yml into the existing file while preserving user-defined values.
     • Ensures that missing keys are seamlessly added without overwriting existing customisations.
   • Versioning for Updates:
     • Introduced config-version for streamlined updates and tracking. The plugin now identifies outdated configurations and updates them while preserving custom settings.

2. bStats Integration:

   • Introduced bStats analytics for usage tracking and plugin improvement.
   • Explicit logging added to indicate whether bStats is enabled or disabled, along with a prompt encouraging users to enable it to support development.

3. New XP Settings:

   • Added multiple configuration options for fine-grained XP control:
     • repair-cost-xp: When set to false, repairing items does not consume XP levels. Repair costs still apply but XP is ignored.
     • grindstone-refund-xp: When set to false, players do not gain XP when disenchanting items using a grindstone.
     • xp-in-creative: Determines whether players in Creative mode can earn XP. Defaults to false.
     • xp-global-disable: A master toggle to disable all XP rewards in the game. This setting overrides all other XP configurations.
     • xp-scaling-factor: Allows global scaling of XP rewards. Set to 1.0 for normal XP, 0.5 for half XP, and so on.

Bug Fixes:

• Configuration Loading:
  • Fixed an issue where missing configuration keys were not added during updates, leading to plugin disabling.
  • Ensured that configuration updates no longer override user-defined values.
• XP Handling Fixes:
• Corrected XP costs for anvils
• Fixed an issue where grindstone XP refunds were not properly configurable, allowing for full control via the new grindstone-refund-xp option.

Refactor Highlights:

• Full Codebase Refactor:

  • Streamlined and modularised code for better maintainability.

• Improved Logging:

  • Enhanced logging feedback for key operations such as configuration loading, task initialisation, and plugin lifecycle events.

Recommended Steps:

1. Configuration Update:

   • Existing configurations should be automatically updated with new keys while preserving user settings.

2. Testing:

   • Test all new XP-related functionalities:
   • Repair mechanics to ensure XP costs are applied or ignored as configured.
   • Grindstone disenchanting to verify XP refunds match the settings.
   • Global XP scaling using the xp-scaling-factor.
