NotQuests

ATTENTION: VERSION 3 AND OLDER ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. ⇒ Updating from <v4 guide.

This is the last build for 1.18.1 (unless I find some more bugs). Once Paper 1.18.2 has been released, I'll update NotQuests to 1.18.2. However, that 1.18.2 build will no longer be compatible with earlier versions, including 1.18.1. That's because some libraries which NotQuests uses broke compatibility (MiniMessage / adventure). No worries though - you can just keep using this fully-functional 1.17-1.18.1 build on your server until you're ready to update ;)

• [!] Fixed a bug where some strings weren't able to be displayed (for example when using the list objectives command) and instead sent an error in the console

• [^] Big performance & internal improvements to expressions (=> better performance for actions, conditions & more). Static expressions are now cached and not calculated anymore, which will give a performance boost especially for simpler tasks.

This version consists mainly of internal code improvements. It may break the API of other plugins using NotQuests in their project, so it's recommended to update any dependencies. The internal QuestPlayer object is now created for every single player, which should make NotQuests less prone to errors :)

ATTENTION: VERSION 3 AND OLDER ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. ⇒ [Updating from <v4 guide](https://www.notquests.com/docs/documentation/updating-from-v3-or-older/).

From this build on, 1.17 support is no longer guaranteed (it should still work, but might break eventually in any future builds. You're totally free to keep using older builds for your 1.17 server in case anything breaks, so no worries)

• [++] Variable Expressions overhaul and performance improvements! You can now make veery very complex conditions - even comparing booleans (true or false) - if you want to. Examples:
  • /qa conditions add cname True equals (Money>10)&Flying
    • This checks if you are flying AND have more than 10$
    • Another way to do this: /qa conditions add cname True equals Condition(Conditions:Flying&IsRich)
