This is the last release before version 5.0.0. It fixes a number of bugs and should generally be more stable than the previous version.

v4.2.0

PartyChat v4.2.0

This update drops support for AnvilGUI while adding a few things here on GitHub and fixing some bugs. AnvilGUI was a really cool thing, it just introduced too many bugs with all the different versions of Minecraft we're supporting. It may be added back at a later date but as of right now it's not worth all the bugs it caused.

Note: This update does not officially add support for 1.18. That will not be added until there is a stable build of Paper.

Changes ☑️

• Drop support for AnvilGUI in favor of typing the input in chat.
• Add GitHub workflows for build and publish.
• Add issue templates.
• Fix bug with /party kick.
• Add JavaDocs to main branch in /docs.
• Move to new (better) ConfigUpdater via Maven.
• Bump a lot of dependencies.
• Misc Async/Sync bug fixes.

MC 1.17 Release

PartyChat now officially supports Minecraft 1.17+

Changes

• Switched from Json Simple to Gson.
• Added new guis.yml file for item configuration in guis.
• Added HeadDatabase integration for gui items.
• Regular DiscordSRV now supported, no custom fork needed.

Version 4.0.0 Rewrite

Version 4 adds so many things it's hard to keep track of, but I'll try to list what I remember below:

Additions:

• Added new /partychat bugreport command for easier troubleshooting when errors occur.
• Added new message configuration for GUI messages.
• Added easier support for more languages.
• Added more config options and a new config file for command configuration.
• Added ability to block inappropriate words in party chat.

Changes:

• Switched from SQLite database to JSON for party storage.
• Rewrote the entire plugin to be cleaner.
• Changed in-text formatting for hover and click events.

And many more!
Try the new version out for yourself to see all that's changed. It should retain the same look and bring over existing parties.

v3.2.1 - Added Hooks

• PartyChat now supports Essentials, LiteBans, and AdvancedBan.
  Players muted by any of these will be unable to talk in party chat.
  Players banned by any of these will be removed from party on ban.

  When this is enabled players will not be removed from a party when they leave the server
  Parties will also save on server restart, with the same members and settings
• Added new debug config option - do not use this unless you are having serious issues

Full Plugin Rewrite

The plugin has been completely rewritten to be more flexible and efficient.

Rewrite with new features

Full plugin with no bugs (that I've found) complete with new /party join and /party toggle commands. All commands and their specific usages can be found on the wiki. This version also adds a new /pcreload command to reload just the party chat plugin. Messages in the messages.yml file have been alphabetized and multilanguage support is planned.
