Chat Games v2.5

This update makes ChatGames more stable and fixes the most important issues, especially for servers that sync games across multiple servers with Redis. If you run ChatGames on more than one server, we strongly recommend this update.

Fixed Games Now Sync Across Servers Out of the Box
Cross-server mode works with the default config now - you no longer need to change any settings for games to be shared between your servers.

Fixed Wins and Timeouts Now Show on Every Server
When Redis was enabled, the main server did not show win or timeout messages to its own players. Now every server on your network sees every game, win, and timeout.

Fixed Crafting Game Works on All Servers
The crafting challenge no longer fails to start on the other servers in your network.

Fixed Better Performance on Long-Running Servers
Fixed a memory issue that slowly grew over time on servers that use PlaceholderAPI. The plugin now uses less memory the longer your server runs.

Fixed No More Crashes From Missing Settings
If a setting is missing from your config, the plugin no longer crashes - it simply uses a safe default.

Fixed /chatgames status Now Shows Colors Correctly
The status command no longer displays raw color codes as text.

Fixed Cleaner Shutdown
Running games are stopped properly when the plugin is disabled or reloaded, so nothing is left behind.

Fixed More Reliable Update Check
The update check now correctly tells you when a newer version is available.

Removed Broken Usage Reports
Removed a statistics feature that was not working correctly and reported data nowhere.

Good News Your Config Stays the Same
Your config.yml and language files work as-is - no reset or migration needed.

Improved Ready for Future Minecraft Versions
Win notifications (toasts) now use a modern, future-proof system that keeps working on the newest Paper versions.

1. Replace ChatGames.jar with the new version.
2. No config changes needed - everything works with your current settings.
3. If you use Redis cross-server sync: leave "server-id" empty (recommended) or set a different value on every server. Servers with the same server-id will not see each other's games.
4. Restart or reload the plugin.
