ChatControl - Format & Filter Chat v12.1.8

• New | Added a toggle to make MoTD render asynchronously so that it doesn't lag the main thread if external URLs are used to fetch the player avatar > this change is in beta and while it was tested, due to the infinite complexities of our rules there might be edge cases where async breaks.
• Fix | Fixed error when Player dies to Citizens NPC Boss
• Fix | Resolved some relational variables appending "color" verbatim in chat. Due to internal complexity of how they are parsed in Adventure, we now have a settings.yml option under Performance to disable this if you don't use them.
• Fix | Solved "Cannot invoke "FoundationServer.getName()" because the return value of "FoundationPlayer.getServer()" is null" error in some cases.
• Fix | "before replace" is not working properly.
• Fix | Solved private messages conflict with InteractiveChat placeholders.
• Fix | Solved Factions relational placeholder behaving oddly.

• Improve | Better /boss tools performance - simplified rendering of visualized regions/locations so that now the blocks only show for 10 seconds and are cleaned after that.
• Fix | Solved "Report: SimpleComponent#toString() is unsupported" in some scenarios.
• Fix | Solved "Expected String in Variables#placeholders() in {player}, got CraftPlayer: was CraftPlayer" due to mutability of the map passed to JavaScript variables and them now using the Player instance as of a recent update.

• Improve | The variable "killer" in death messages now returns the killer entity, which you can use in javascript variables such as killer.getHealth(). As such, to use our native placeholders, use {killer_name} instead of {killer} in messages.

• New | Support all minimessage components (click, hover etc.) in books/ and /chc book for Minecraft 1.13+.
• Improve | Support Multiverse-Core 5.
• Improve | In /channel, if the sender does not have write nor read perm and is not in channel, hide the channel.

• Improve | Do not stripe colors from items edited on Anvil if Colors.Apply_On lacks "anvil" option. Note that
• Fix | Solved links not being clickable by updating dependencies. Please note this is only partially fixed as Adventure has a problem and upon asking how much more we should expect to wait my comment got hidden.
• Fix | If you negate a color/decoration permission it but the player can use all colors, we will now properly excluded negated permissions as exceptions.

• Fix | Solved PlaceholderAPI variables being parseable in game chat in certain cases.

• New | Minecraft 1.21.5 compatible.
• Improve | Release player cache upon player quitting to reduce memory footprint. To do this, set Clear_Cache_On_Exit to true in settings.yml.
• Fix | Solved UnsupportedOperationException in Folia when running commands.

• New | Added a settings.yml key in Motd section to toggle whether or not to play a motd sound when no message is shown. Network addons need no update.
