zQuestRank | Quest-Based Ranks v1.2.0

zQuestRank v1.2.0
PlaceholderAPI now resolves inside rank and quest names, plus cleaner icons and a new description option.​

---

PlaceholderAPI in Menu Text

Rank names, quest names, and their menu text (description and lore) now run through PlaceholderAPI before they're shown. Any %...% placeholder you drop into a display-name or lore line is filled in live for the player looking at the menu, mix and match player name, balance, quest stats, whatever fits.

• ItemsAdder emojis work now: the chat shortcut (:20:) is a chat-only thing, but the placeholder form (%img_20%) resolves in the menu just like it does in chat
• Backward compatible: ranks with plain names look exactly the same, and if PlaceholderAPI isn't installed the names simply show as before with no errors

New "description" Option for Quests

Quests can now carry a description block in ranks.yml, which shows up right under the title. Perfect for a short explanation in your own words:

YAML:

golden_apples:
  type: CRAFT_ITEM
  material: GOLDEN_APPLE
  amount: 20
  description:
    - "&7Craft golden apples at a"
    - "&7crafting table to progress."

Leave it out and the icon just shows the title, progress, and status.

Cleaner Quest Icons

The extra vanilla junk on icons is gone: the "when eaten" hunger lines on food, the durability and attack damage numbers on tools and swords, and the enchant glow text. Menu icons now show only what matters, the title, your text, progress, and status.

Note: the small blue italic "Minecraft" line at the very bottom of a tooltip is a client-side thing (your Minecraft client shows it), no plugin can hide it.

---

Fixes

• No more duplicate quest text: quests without a custom lore used to show the objective twice (once as the title, once as the first lore line). The extra line is gone, quests now read title, progress, status, no repeat. The shipped example quest is fixed too.

If you write your own lore for a quest, don't put the objective as the first line, the title already shows it. Just write the extra text you want below it.

---

Update Checker

The plugin now checks once on startup to see if a newer version is out. If there is, it prints a line in the console and quietly notifies admins (zquestrank.admin) when they join. It never downloads or installs anything, just a heads up. Turn it off with update-checker: false under general in config.yml.

---

Install

Replace the old jar in plugins/ with zQuestRank-1.2.0.jar and restart, or run /rank admin reload. Your configs are unchanged, existing ranks and quests behave exactly as before.
