🚀 RoyItems v2026.1.1 — Localization & Update System

A quality-of-life update focusing on multi-language support, automated configuration safety, and built-in update checking for server administrators.

🌐 Multi-Language Support (7 Built-in Languages)

You can now easily switch the plugin's language directly in config.yml using the language setting. RoyItems now comes with ready-to-use, natural translations for:

• 🇺🇸 English (en-US — Default)
• 🇻🇳 Vietnamese (vi-VN)
• 🇩🇪 German (de-DE)
• 🇯🇵 Japanese (ja-JP)
• 🇰🇷 Korean (ko-KR)
• 🇷🇺 Russian (ru-RU)
• 🇪🇸 Spanish (es-ES)

Smart Fallback: If a translation line is ever missing or left empty in your chosen language, the plugin will seamlessly use English so your players never see broken text or missing messages.

🔔 New In-Game Update Checker (/ri checkupdate)

• New Command: Server admins can now type /ri checkupdate anytime to see the current version and instantly check how many new releases are available ahead.
• Admin Alerts: Operators and administrators will receive a polite, clean notification upon joining or reloading the server when an update is available.
• Clean Chat Formatting: Designed with modern gradient colors and subtle styling — no harsh or excessive bold text spamming your chat.

🛡️ Automatic Configuration Safety (Config Migration)

• Zero Data Loss: When you update RoyItems, you no longer need to worry about new options wiping your existing settings.
• Automatic Backups: The plugin automatically creates a safe backup file (.bak) before updating any files.
• Smooth Merging: New options and settings are added automatically while preserving 100% of your custom numbers, item values, and configurations.

📖 All-English Defaults & Built-in Lore Wiki

• Standardized English: The main configuration (config.yml), the Ingame GUI Editor (editor-gui.yml), and default files now use clean, standard English by default for international server teams.
• Built-in Reference Guide (_example.yml): A comprehensive wiki file is now included inside the lore-format folder. It lists every placeholder, custom stat, and color code you can use. This file automatically stays up-to-date and is protected against accidental deletion.
