Changes

With this being version 3 of this plugin, a couple things have changed but the core concept is still the exact same. Here are some drastic changes:

• Time can now be entered different formats, 3hours or 15mins or 4days
• New language system
• New config system (per jail configs are going to make a come back)
• Items in the config use item names now, not the ids
• All commands are prevented by default, now there is only a whitelist
• All interactions are prevented by default, add to the whitelist what you want
• If store inventory is not enabled, inventories are deleted upon jailing
• Sign text has a new format, old format will not be converted
• Max reason length has been removed, might be added back in if needed

ToDo

• Jail set
• Jail vote
• Jailing for swearing
• Guards (PlayerMoveProtectionAction - when they try to move do we teleport them back, let the guards get them, or nothing)
• Storing permissions
• Pages on jail list

Notice

• Old messages (language) will not be converted
• MaximumAFKTime setting will not convert over, the format isn't clear and the old version didn't provide a way to get values with decimal places
• EnableLogging has been removed, we are always going to be logging (unless major request to control this)
• Prisoner's old inventory strings in the database are lost, we can not convert those
