1.7.1 - 26.1.x support and Java 21

After a long time, the plugin has been updated to support Minecraft versions 1.19.4 up to 26.1.2.

Another notable change is that the plugin was updated to use Adventure API 5.1.1. Because of this, the new minimum Java version is Java 21 even for 1.19.4-1.20.4 (althought you will need Java 25 for 26.1). Another consequence is that hover and click events won't work on Spigot servers (they do work on Paper or any of its forks) because, apparently, Adventure Platform Bukkit is also no longer maintained and sending components to Audiences wasn't working. As a workaround, if the plugin is running on a Spigot server, a legacy text message will be sent, which supports gradients but not click or hover components. Paper servers will work just fine.
TL;DR: Minimum Java version is now Java 21 and messages won't be hoverable nor clickable on Spigot servers (Paper servers are unaffected).

Latly, some errors have been fixed and some performance improvements were made, especially when a player joins the server.

*This update doesn't bring config-breaking changes but, if you are migrating from previous versions, you might need to use the "/ad convert" command. CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR DISPLAYS FOLDER BEFORE CONVERTING! More information on this command here.

I have tested this plugin on Paper 26.1.2, although I may have missed some bugs. If you encounter any, please report it on GitHub or Discord, not on the reviews section.
