✦ Fix

• Trails would crash on 1.20.5 and above because four particles were renamed in that version (SMOKE_NORMAL, DRIP_LAVA,
  DRIP_WATER, ITEM_CRACK). The plugin now resolves particles by name at startup with a fallback list, so the same jar works from 1.18 all
  the way through 1.21.x.

✦ Note

• No config changes needed. Just drop the new jar in and restart.

✦ Commands

• /cosmeticsreload is gone — everything lives under /cosmetics now
• New subcommands: menu, clear, reload, update, version,
  help
• Tab completion on every subcommand (admin-only ones hidden from non-admins)
• CommandAliases in config.yml now actually register on startup

✦ Config

• Auto-updating config via boosted-yaml — future updates merge new keys into your file without touching your edits or comments
• Informative comments on every config key
• New TrailsMenu.ROWS option — pick 1-6 rows for the menu (default 4)
• New BStats.Enabled option — opt out of anonymous metrics if you want
• Update.Enabled flag now actually controls the SpigotMC version check (was previously ignored)
• config.yml.example and readme.txt now extract to the plugin folder on first start

✦ Fixes

• simplecosmetics.use now defaults to true — non-op players can open the menu out of the box
• Fixed wrong SpigotMC resource id in /cosmetics update
• Fixed IncompatibleClassChangeError on inventory clicks by porting from Paper-API to Spigot-API

✦ Compatibility

• Supports 1.18 → 1.20.4 (Java 17)
• Runs on Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish

✦ Cosmetic

• New ASCII startup + shutdown banners in the console (zArrowTan / fork of SimpleCosmetics by Refrac)
• Added bStats integration (id 31908) — opt-out available

✦ Compatibility

• Now supports 1.18 → 1.20.4 (was 1.20 only)
• Switched from Paper-API to Spigot-API — runs on Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Pufferfish
• Java target lowered to 17 so 1.18-1.20.4 servers can load it

✦ Fixes

• Fixed IncompatibleClassChangeError on inventory click (InventoryView class-vs-interface drift between Paper 1.21 and 1.20.4)
• Stripped Adventure API usage so Spigot servers no longer crash on menu open

✦ New

• bStats metrics integrated (anonymous usage stats — id 31908)
• Renamed config_example.yml → config.yml.example and it now auto-extracts on first launch (reference for RGB hex colors)

✦ Build

• maven-shade-plugin bumped to 3.5.3 (older versions cannot read Java 17 bytecode)

general fixes

Added a readme.txt with a premade rgb config for the menu, anyone who needs it can use it.
