Optimizations

This version mainly improves the performance impact of the plugin to servers.

The issue

1. A bottleneck in Orderium was that strings are constantly getting deserialized to MiniMessage text components. At first, this does not sound very resource-intensive, just deserializing a string. However, it starts to create a performance impact when this happens more often. Every page, every item, every lore lines, custom name, all of them are deserialized when you execute /order command.
2. The plugin makes Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID) calls for all active orders whenever a player uses search. This method tends to be resource-intensive.

The solution

For the first problem, I used 2 methods to solve it:

1. Lazy loading: whenever a player executes /order, it generates all the pages, even if the player only accesses the first or second page. This version no longer generates all the pages, it only does when the player moves to the next page, minimizing the amount of inventories need to be created as well as ItemStacks.
2. Caching: The orders used to create a new ItemStack then deserialize the lore lines with placeholders. Now, it only creates the ItemStack every time the placeholder values change or the config reloads.

For the second problem, I also simply cache OfflinePlayer and only call Bukkit.getOfflinePlayer(UUID) once when the server starts for each order.

You can see that a lot of changes have been made. Therefore, bugs might appear in this version, because optimizing is always scary. If you found any, feel free to report an issue on the Github repository :)

This update has many changes, please read the changelog carefully before updating.

Config Overhaul

The plugin should automatically migrate to the new formats for you.

Each GUI now has its own config file instead of putting everything in config.yml.
The config files of the GUIs are under gui/ directory.

gui.main > main.yml
gui.your-orders > your-orders.yml
gui.choose-item > choose-items.yml
gui.search-sign > search.yml
gui.delivery > deliver.yml
gui.enchant-item > enchant.yml
gui.new-order > new-order-dialog.yml
gui.confirm-delivery > confirm-delivery.yml
gui.manage-order > manage-order.yml

In container GUIs, you can now specify the amount of rows.
For main, your orders, choose items, enchant item GUIs, you can now specify a list of slots where the orders/items/enchantment books should be put in respectively.
Buttons now have 2 keys, item and slot; name, lore, item model of the button is now moved to the item key, under components, providing a more vanilla format.
name-prefix in enchant GUI's config is changed to name.active and name.inactive

sort-prefix and sort-types are now merged to sorts-display, allowing you to set the text for each sort type when it is active and inactive.

FastStats

The plugin now uses FastStats to collect anonymous data. Besides default metrics it collects, Orderium also tracks errors at different places, and these data:

• API Usage: a boolean determines if your server is using API from Orderium
• Experimental features: a string array contains names of experimental features being used
• Order amount: an integer shows the amount of orders have been created
• Items collected: an integer shows the amount of items collected from all orders

• Removed empty items.db file
• Fix bStats not working correctly with config option
• Fix packetevents listeners spamming errors if the plugin is disabled
• Fix not recognizing economy plugin if it enables after Orderium
• Fix commands not unregistered if the plugin is disabled
• Add permission orderium.use for executing command orders

• Fixed an issue with false warning of downgrading plugin.

If you didn't downgrade the plugin, you can safely ignore the message.

• Items are now obtained from the server (nms)
• Default blacklisted items are removed
• Added aliases for the orders command

• Add minimum price to config

• Fix various bugs
• Better Folia compatibility
• Reduced plugin jar file size
• Some optimizations
• Java requirement is now 21
