This update was a tremendous amount of work,
I appreciate every one of you!
~Foxikle <#

EDIT:

This is on the wrong branch, 😭
This should be targeted at 1.6 :)

CustomNPCs 1.6-pre2

New Feature:

• Multi-version support! (For now, 1.20-1.20.4)

This update was a massive undertaking, to understand the inner workings of gradle, modules, and all of that jazz. I owe a huge one to @coderFlameyosFlow for explaining gradle to me!

Cheers!
~ Foxikle

1.6-pre1

Changes

• Update to 1.20.3 (4)
• Removed old API Class

1.5.2

Bug Fixes

• potentially fixed an issue with the Unix file system
• Fixed spigot spamming the server console about reflection
• Fixed NPCs not having the same UUID as their GameProfile when creating a new NPC

New Features

• Clickable Text now supports MiniMessage (And the 16 character limit is now no longer)
• Config version is now 3

Developer Notes / API Changes

• NPCs Minecraft names are now derived from their UUID, (The first 15 characters)
• API Version is now 1.5.2
• There is a new Class that should be used for interactions with the API. You still need to initialize the API with NPCApi.initialize().
• The Old NPC class is now deprecated and marked for removal in Version 1.6
• NPCs can now have "tunnel vision" or the ability to ignore players around them. NPCs will not look at players within 5 blocks.
• The Javadocs are now on version 1.5.2-pre3. (I tried to make each version have their own directory and utterly failed)
  • ie. https://docs.foxikle.dev/customnpcs/1.5.2 would have CustomNPCs version 1.5.2 javadocs, and so on.

The javadocs are here, and the developer wiki is here.

Cheers!
