v1.0.6 - World Restrictions & Command Alias

✨ New Features

• Allowed Worlds System: Added a new active-worlds configuration setting in config.yml. You can now easily restrict contests so that players can only earn points in specific worlds (e.g., your survival world and not your lobby). (by default, all worlds are allowed if the list is completely empty).
• Command Alias: Added /nbc as a quick, native shortcut for the /nbcontest command!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the /nbcontest reload command wasn't properly updating the world restrictions in the active event manager.
• World name verification is now case-insensitive (treating World and world identically) for better compatibility with world management plugins.

v1.0.5 - Advanced Scheduling Update

✨ New Features

• Calendar-Based Scheduling: You can now schedule events on specific days!

  • DAILY (runs every day)
  • MONDAY to SUNDAY (runs only on specific days)
  • Mix and match! Have a daily event at 6 PM and a special event every Friday at 8 PM.

• Targeted Farming Contests:

  • You can now specify which crop to farm for a scheduled event!
  • Example: Potato Contest on Saturdays, Wheat Contest on Sundays.
  • If no type is specified, it remains random as before.

🔧 Improvements

• Scheduling Logic: Completely rewritten scheduler to handle complex daily/weekly patterns.
• Config Format: Updated auto-events configuration to be more structured and readable (backward compatibility maintained for simple lists).
• Optimization: Scheduler check frequency optimized for better server performance.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where scheduled times might drift slightly depending on server restart times.
• Improved error handling for invalid timezone configurations.

Version 1.0.4
