Introduce a full chest-based kit selection UI and anvil search: add Menu, MenuHolder, KitSelectorMenu, KitItemFactory, AnvilSearchMenu (with AnvilSearchTracker) and a central MenuListener to dispatch menu and anvil interactions. Integrate the GUI into KitCommand (opens selector on no args, enforces mid-game selection rules, remove/replace backup kits when switching) and register MenuListener in the main plugin. Add permission speedhg.bypass and update ConnectListener to kick joiners when a game is running unless they have the bypass permission. Remove static playstyle lore from language file (now rendered dynamically), and apply small import/refactor cleanups (use wildcard imports for kit impls, java.util.* replacements).
Introduce MySQL persistence and an in-memory stats system with async saving.
- Add HikariCP & MySQL connector dependencies and relocate libs in build.gradle.kts.
- Add DatabaseManager (HikariCP) to manage connection pool and lifecycle.
- Add PlayerStats data model and PlayerStatsRepository for table creation, reads, upserts and batch upserts (with prepared statements).
- Add StatsManager: coroutine-based cache, dirty-flags, async batch saves, auto-save (every 5 minutes), load/save APIs and shutdown save.
- Add StatsListener: load on AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent and save on PlayerQuitEvent.
- Wire DB and stats into main plugin: connect on enable (disable plugin on fail), initialize StatsManager, save/disconnect on disable, register leaderboard command and stats listener.
- Update GameManager to record kills/wins/deaths and adjust scrimScore on events.
- Add LeaderboardCommand and language entries for leaderboard output; expose command in plugin.yml.
- Add database configuration section to config.yml.
- Minor refactor: KitCommand plugin accessor changed to a getter.
These changes provide a robust, pooled DB connection and efficient stats persistence (batched/upserted) to reduce DB load and ensure data safety during shutdown.
Large refactor removing many legacy subsystems (abilities, kit system, database repos, recraft, world manager, extensive config classes, lunar/luckperms integrations and various listeners/commands). Introduces a lightweight LanguageManager, AntiRunningManager, ScoreboardManager, ConnectListener and a SoupListener; simplifies the main SpeedHG plugin to initialize these components and register the connection listener. Build changes: update Gradle wrapper to 8.10, remove paperweight and several external dependencies, add fr.mrmicky:fastboard and simplify shadowJar/build task configuration. Adds default language resource (languages/en_US.yml) and updates plugin/config resources. Purpose: simplify and decouple the plugin, reduce dependency surface and prepare for a leaner, modular rewrite.
