v1.10

• Updated to java 21, which the plugin now requires.

• Fixed a bug where adding to someone's playtime who wasn't in the cache didn't put them on the toplist when needed.

• Other smaller bug fixes and optimizations, plus updated some libs.

v1.9.1

• Made it so now if you add to someone's playtime, it will trigger the corresponding playtime rewards, which the player would've gotten normally.
• Added a config entry to set wheter the above should work with offline players too, since the "vpt.rewards.exempt" perm can't be checked for them.

v1.9

• Fixed some bugs with the rewards system.
• Fixed a bug where the %place% placeholder would show -1 if the player wasn't in the toplist.

v1.8.5
