Paper 1.21.11 Fix + Bedrock Hotbar Protection



✨ What's New in v2.5.2?

Sorry for the issues introduced in v2.5.1! This release fixes a Paper 1.21.11 startup crash and two gaps in the Bedrock virtual elytra protection.
Fully compatible with v2.5.1 and v2.5.0 – no configuration changes required.

Paper 1.21.11 Startup Fix

- Fixed NullPointerException on startup when running Paper 1.21.11

- Paper 1.21.11 changed getConfig() to trigger the overridden reloadConfig() before DataManager was initialized — now guarded correctly

- Plugin enables cleanly on Paper 1.21.11 without crashing

️ Bedrock Elytra Item Protection

- Elytra items can no longer displace the virtual elytra mid-flight via inventory interactions

- Previously only *_CHESTPLATE items were blocked; elytra items are now included in all three guards:
- Direct clicks on the armor slot
- Auto-equip ( MOVE_TO_OTHER_INVENTORY) actions
- Cursor placement onto the armor slot

️ Bedrock Hotbar Right-click Protection

- Right-clicking a chestplate or elytra in the hotbar (inventory closed) while flying no longer auto-equips it

- This path was previously unhandled and is now blocked via PlayerInteractEvent

Requirements

- ✅ Java 21+ – Required for all versions
