SxTeam 2.0.7 — Dialog UI + full rework

Note: this release covers everything since 1.5. It is not a small patch — the whole plugin was reworked: new create-flow dialog, allies system, bank, level/XP, placeholders, icon/lore overhaul, plus a long list of GUI fixes. Old configs migrate automatically.

✨ New — native Dialog UI for team creation

Running /team without a team now opens a real Minecraft dialog on clients that can render one:

• Title, body text, a single text field and Create team / Cancel buttons — typed name + press Create = team created, creator becomes leader and the team menu opens right away.
• Only for Minecraft 1.21.6+ (protocol ≥ 771) — decided per player from the version their client reported on join (getProtocolVersion()), never guessed.
• Every older client keeps the exact classic chest menu (chat prompt → green tick head). Nothing changed for them.
• If a dialog can't be displayed for any reason, the plugin falls back to the chest menu automatically and logs a warning.
• The name is used exactly as typed (capitalisation kept) and is pre-filled if the player already typed it in the chat prompt.
• Fully configurable:

  dialog:
    create-team: true      # false = chest menu for everyone
    min-protocol: 771      # 771 = 1.21.6, the first dialog-capable client
  messages:
    dialog:
      create:
        title / body / input-label / confirm / confirm-tooltip / cancel
  

• /team diagnose shows each player their detected protocol, version name, and which create UI they will get.

🗑️ Removed

• Team warps — removed completely.
• Team upgrades — removed completely, including its settings entry.

🎨 Icons, sprites & lore

• Menus now draw real Minecraft sprite glyphs straight from the client's own atlas (item/* → items atlas, block/* → blocks atlas, plus bed/chest atlases). No resource pack needed.
• Home button → ender eye sprite, Enderchest button → ender pearl sprite. Both overridable in config:

  gui:
    sprites:
      home: item/ender_eye
      echest: item/ender_pearl
  

• Back / leave buttons: barrier head with a readable text colour; create / promote / increase / cancel buttons: green tick head.
• Lore for every menu item rewritten with emojis and sprite icons.
• Sprites keep their original colours — no more purple/inherited tint or accidental italics leaking into the icons.
• /team sprites on|off to disable sprite icons temporarily.

🤝 Allies

• Ally request notifications now reach the target team's leader and co-leader.
• Ally-request on/off toggle inside the allies GUI.
• Per-ally PvP toggle inside the allies GUI.
• Ally PvP is mutual (OR rule): if either team has ally PvP on, both can fight. Only when both sides have it off does ally PvP stay disabled.
• Configurable: team.ally.max-allies (default 10), team.ally.request-expire-seconds (default 300), team.ally.ally-pvp-default.

🧑🤝🧑 Members & GUI behaviour

• Promote and demote both work from the GUI, and the affected player gets a message either way.
• Clicking a button no longer closes the menu — GUIs stay open on normal clicks.
• Settings GUI layout fixed (items were scattered); warps/upgrades entries gone.
• Bank: after a wrong/invalid amount typed in chat, the bank GUI opens again instead of leaving the player in chat.
• Freshly created teams work immediately — the creator always ends up as leader with full permissions (fixed the bogus "You don't have permission" right after creating a team).

📊 Placeholders (PlaceholderAPI)

• Leaderboard: %team_leaderboard_1% … %team_leaderboard_20% (team name per rank, size configurable via placeholders.leaderboard-size) plus %team_leaderboard_position%.
• Bank: %team_bank%, %team_bank_raw%, %team_bank_formatted%, %team_bank_short%, %team_bank_currency%.
• PvP state: %team_pvp%, %team_pvp_state%, %team_pvp_status%, %team_pvp_symbol%, %team_pvp_colored% — shows whether team PvP is enabled or disabled.
• Plus: %team_name%, %team_members%, %team_max_members%, %team_members_left%, %team_is_full%, %team_rank%, %team_role%, %team_is_officer%, %team_leader%, %team_level%, %team_xp%, %team_xp_progress%, %team_xp_next%, %team_kills%, %team_deaths%, %team_playtime%, %team_playtime_minutes%, %team_has_team%, %team_in_team%, %team_team_id%, %team_total_teams%, %team_ally_count%, %team_ally_requests%, %team_ally_requests_status%, %team_echest_size%, %team_home_set%, %team_home_x/y/z%, %team_home_world%, %team_chat_sound%.

🔧 Reliability & internals

• Legacy data recovery: teams whose leader was stored as a player name, whose leader was outside the member list, or that had no leader key at all now load correctly instead of being dropped.
• Old configs (1.5 and earlier) are auto-migrated on first boot — new keys are added, removed keys purged, and config-version is stamped (currently 9).
• Duplicate-jar detection + /team fix, and /team diagnose for one-shot troubleshooting.
• YAML storage by default, MySQL + HikariCP optional, autosave every 5 minutes and save-on-quit.

⚙️ Compatibility

• Paper / Spigot 1.21.6 – 26.1.2 (Paper 26.1.x recommended; dialogs need a 1.21.6+ server).
• Java 25 — the jar is compiled with release 25, matching Paper 26.1 builds. Run it on a Java 25 server.
• Optional: Vault (economy) and PlaceholderAPI (placeholders).
• Tested on Paper 26.1.2 build 74 / Java 25: 366 automated checks, 0 failures — on a fresh install and on a config migrated from 1.5.
