SafeChest v0.0.6.1 - Enhancements & Optimizations

We are thrilled to announce the release of SafeChest v0.0.6.1! This update focuses on stability, performance, and ensuring all features work exactly as intended. Below are the detailed changes included in this version.

---

🚀 Core Improvements

• Database Optimization: Enhanced database schema handling for improved stability and consistency across SQLite and MySQL.
• Internal Consistency: Updated internal references and logging to fully align with the SafeChest branding.
• Full Group Support: Player groups (VIP, Admin, Default) now correctly apply their specific settings. Players with special permissions will now receive their intended chest duration, limits, and material types.
• Chest Recognition: Improved how the plugin identifies death chests internally, ensuring they are properly recognized after server restarts.

🛠️ Command Enhancements

• Tab Completion: Added full tab completion support for /safechestadmin subcommands and player arguments.
• Admin Help Command: Added a functional help menu to the admin command. Typing /safechestadmin help now displays a list of all available administrative tools and their usage.
• Admin Toolkit: Expanded /safechestadmin with improved statistics tracking and chest inspection tools.
• Improved Admin Inspection: When administrators inspect a player's chests, hovering over the entry now displays the player's name for easier identification, rather than a confusing ID code.
• Update Notifications: Server administrators will now correctly receive notifications when a new version of the plugin is available.
• Death Message Command Alignment: Updated interactive buttons in death messages to use the correct command aliases for seamless integration.

🐛 Stability & Corrections

• Admin Statistics: Resolved an issue where the statistics command would display empty messages. All stats (active chests, expired chests, player counts) now display correctly.
• Configuration Defaults: Fixed default settings that previously referenced the old plugin name. All new configuration files now correctly use "SafeChest" branding.
• Command Descriptions: Updated all command help texts to consistently show the correct plugin name and descriptions.
• Language Consistency: Standardized all server logs and messages to English. Previously, some system messages appeared in Spanish; everything is now uniformly in English.

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Reduced Death Lag: Significantly optimized the process that occurs when a player dies. Server lag spikes during death events have been greatly reduced.
• Explosion Handling: Improved performance when explosions occur near death chests. The server will now handle these events more smoothly without freezing.
• Hologram Efficiency: Optimized the hologram update system. Floating text above chests now updates more efficiently, reducing unnecessary strain on the server.
• Data Handling: General improvements to how player data is saved and loaded, resulting in a smoother experience during high-activity periods.

🎨 User Experience

• Messaging: Refined console logging and feedback messages for better clarity.
• Configuration: Updated default configuration values to match current plugin standards.
• Placeholder Support: Updated placeholder support for consistency across all features.

⚙️ Configuration Updates

• Branding Consistency: All default configuration files (config.yml, groups.yml, plugin.yml) now fully reflect the "SafeChest" name instead of the previous legacy name.
• Group Settings: The groups.yml file is now fully integrated. Settings defined there will actively change gameplay for players assigned to specific groups.

📦 Technical Updates

• Improved asynchronous handling for database queries.
• Enhanced error handling for administrative operations.

📝 Notes for Server Administrators

• ⚠️ Important Update Step: If you are updating from a previous version, it is highly recommended to delete your old safechests.db file (located in plugins/SafeChest/) to ensure the database schema is correctly initialized. Please back up any important data before doing this.
• Permissions: Ensure your administrators have the safechest.admin permission node to receive update notifications and use admin commands.
• Group Setup: Player groups require the corresponding permission node (e.g., safechest.group.vip) to be assigned via your permissions plugin (like LuckPerms).
• Configuration Reset: Deleting your old configuration files is recommended to generate the new, corrected defaults with proper branding and keys.
