RulesPlugin v1.3.0 – Rules Rework & Critical Fix
✨ What’s New / Fixed

This update fixes a critical issue affecting existing servers and players who joined before the plugin was installed or before rule changes.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where existing players were unable to see the Rules GUI on join
• Fixed cases where the server owner (OP) was not prompted to accept the rules
• Fixed the Rules GUI not showing when data.yml was empty or inconsistent

New System: Rules Versioning

• The plugin now tracks a rules version (hash) based on the current config.yml
• If the rules are modified on reloading the plugin, all players are automatically required to re-accept them
• Ensures players always accept the latest version of the rules

Improved Logic

• Works correctly for:
  • New players
  • Existing players
  • Server owners / OPs
  
  
• No log parsing or manual resets required

✅ Compatibility

• Fully compatible with Paper / Spigot 1.21.x
• Backwards compatible with existing configuration

Thank you to everyone who reported the issue and helped improve the plugin!
