1.6-beta1

This is the first beta release of 1.6 (1.5.0.45), I'm releasing this since it contains a highly-requested feature, placeholders, these are:
%emf_competition_place_player_*% | %emf_competition_place_size_*% | %emf_competition_place_fish_*% | %emf_competition_time_left%
The * indicates the place in the leaderboard the placeholder will cover, for example %emf_competition_place_player_3% will show the player in third place when the competition is running. However, this release may contain a few bugs as the messaging system that takes messages from the config file and sends them to players has been re-coded to allow for tags, similar to CMI's specialized commands (https://www.zrips.net/cmi/commands/specialized/) that some of you will be used to using. A full list of the currently two prefixes available can be found on thenew EMF messages.yml wiki: https://github.com/Oheers/EvenMoreFish/wiki/Messages.yml. This isn't all that will be in the update, so it may be a while before the full spigot release - I intend to add the following before official release:

• Full re-write of the database backend
• Two new competition types: LARGEST_TOTAL and SPECIFIC_RARITY
• Requirements such as irl-time etc
• A few other things

1.5.0.1

At long last, baits have finally been added to EvenMoreFish! These will allow you to give players boosts they can use on their fishing rods to impact the catch-rates of certain fish that you can define in the baits.yml file. This feature is likely to have quite a few bugs in it at first, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on the support server report these bugs or ask for help if you're struggling to understand something.

There will also be another update in a few weeks time adding a few other tweaks, if I've told you something other than baits will be in this update then don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it, I've just decided to bring 1.5 forward with its key feature as I've realised I'll be busy over the next few weeks and need to be able to fix bugs that arise from the baits.

Without further ado, here's the changelog!

• Added baits, /emf admin baits, baits.yml. These are applied by dragging them onto fishing rods whilst in survival mode. Hold SHIFT to add more than one at a time.
• Added the comp-check-exempt setting for fish, this lets them appear even if you have fish set to only appear during competitions.
• Fixed a bug where items would sometimes get lost in the /emf shop.
• The lore structure of fish is now fully customizable, this has appeared in your messages.yml file at the bottom.
• Added the ability for fish to only enter competitions if they're in a certain world (required-worlds in the general section of config.yml)
• Added the participation value for rewards, this will give participation rewards for all competition entrants.

      1:
        - "COMMAND:give {player} diamond 5"
      participation:
        - "COMMAND:give {player} diamond 1"

• Fixed a bug where the automatic config updater would sometimes reset config files. Apologies once again to anyone affected by this.
• Fixed competitions sometimes not starting on servers with low TPS.
• Fixed competitions on low-TPS servers often lasting longer than the set time.
• Added a message below the leaderboard to show the total number of entrants in the leaderboard.
• Added AureliumSkills support (credit to Nestu14)
• Fixed a bug when using material: AIR for fish.
• Improved the main messaging system within the plugin.
• Fixed a bug where the plugin would override some claiming plugins.
• Added the ability to prevent all fish being placed rather than just head-fish.

v1.4.0

The moment has finally come, 1.4 has officially released and you can now get it from the SpigotMC page (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/evenmorefish-%E2%96%AA-extensive-fishing-plugin-%E2%96%AA.91310/)

This update completely updates the whole competition system to add 3 different competition types. There were many changes made in this update regarding the competition system.

If you are updating from v1.3 please read the following carefully: you will need to customize the new competitions.yml file otherwise its default settings will run, which will likely be undesirable for your server setup.

• Added 3 different competition types, view them all on the brand new wiki page.[IMG]
• Added an option for players to always see their position in the leaderboard.
• Added a message for when a new player reaches the top spot in the competition
• Added a new competitions.yml file
• Added customizable alerts to be sent at certain times during the competition
• Added the ability for competitions to have different: start times, duration, type, bossbar and rewards
• Added the {pos_colour} variable which returns different, customizable colours bases on the player's position in the leaderboard. [IMG]
  / Fixed a rare bug where people would disappear from the leaderboard

• Removed /emf rewards.

v1.2.0

Added EMFFishEvent and EMFRewardEvent for future usage with an API. Documentation around this will be coming within the next few days (though they are fairly basic additions)
It's possible to only run competitions on specific days now (more info below)
More parts of the GUI can be modified (credit to exzolink, more info below)
Added option for a prefix before fish rarities
Added option for closing the EMF shop to sell items.
EMF shop size can be changed
Rewrote parts of competition leaderboard code.
