There were some bugs that @h4shy tested for (Thank you so much! :D) They were eventually fixed, and I also got some suggestions that would create competition between other chat plugins.

Redesigned APIs fill the update, which is PACKED with new API additions and improvements.

User

Fixes

• Fixed where you can't disable broadcasts
• Fixed the issue where it is possible that the usernames outside of the message can be mentioned, for example:

Previous:

[Member] FlameyosFlow >> Hey there FlameyosFlow how are you?

Now:

[Member] FlameyosFlow >> Hey there FlameyosFlow how are you?

(Fixed using the new SerializedMessage API)

Improvements

Improved mentioning system, now you can add symbols next to a username, for example:

Previous:

"[Member] FlameyosFlow >> Hey there FlameyosFlow how are you?"

"[Member] FlameyosFlow >> I'm good, what about you, FlameyosFlow?" (Does not mention because of '?')

Now:

"[Member] FlameyosFlow >> Hey there FlameyosFlow how are you?"

"[Member] FlameyosFlow >> I'm good, what about you, FlameyosFlow?" (Can now mention)

Developers

Additions

• Added new methods for WordReplacementManager: WordReplacementManager#addWordMapper WordReplacementManager#removeWordMapper WordReplacementManager#clearWordMappers

• Added new action events on action execute: PreTitleExecuteEvent PreSoundExecuteEvent PreActionBarExecuteEvent PreCommandExecuteEvent PreSendMessageExecuteEvent

• New SerializedMessage data class to improve performance, and even used to fix a bug for mentioning!

Improvements

• ChatFormatMessageModifier priority set to LOWEST so it can execute last.

Breaking changes

• Removed ChatManager#processChat and processed it directly inside of PrimaryChatListener
• MessageModifier#modify now no longer returns a value and takes in a SerializedMessage instead of RawDataRegistry<String>
• RawDataRegistry<String> PostChatProcessEvent#getDataRegistry ->SerializedMessage PostChatProcessEvent#getData
• Option<GroupedDataRegistry> MentionsManager#changeMentionsLook(final Player player, final String message) -> void MentionsManager#changeMentionsLook(final Player player, final SerializedMessage message)
• String getFormat(final String message, final Player player) -> SerializedMessage getFormat(final SerializedMessage message, final Player player)
• void editMessage(RawDataRegistry dataRegistry); -> void editMessage(SerializedMessage dataRegistry);
• String ChatProvider#getFormat(String message, String groupFormat, Player player); -> ChatProvider#SerializedMessage getFormat(SerializedMessage message, String groupFormat, Player player);
• ChatRenderer ProcessedChatRenderer#createChatRenderer(RawDataRegistry rawDataRegistry); -> ChatRenderer ProcessedChatRenderer#createChatRenderer(SerializedMessage rawDataRegistry);
• DefaultChatRenderer now takes in a SerializedMessage instead of a RawDataRegistry

This release has new features and improvements to make EnhancedCommunications closer to achieving dominance in the chat experience management category!

Additions

Broadcasts - Async

This month I bring you chat broadcasts, I worked on this so the user can benefit from it AND a great API for the developer to use as well!

User

• Choose the broadcast interval by seconds.
• Choose the worlds you want the broadcast to be in OR make it global by typing "GLOBAL"
• Choose the lore Uses MiniMessage

Developer

• New PreBroadcastAnnounceEvent to check details about the broadcast and the worlds (and its viewers) CANCELLABLE
• You can manually add/remove broadcasts from ChatManager#getAutoBroadcastManager

Word replacements

This month I bring you word replacements:

• Create any word replacements (<3 to ❤️ for example)
• Precached the words after splitting them to ensure the server is smooth (can be refreshed by using /communications reload)

Improvements

• Added javadocs to everything
• Some performance improvements

Fixes
