Release Notes: GroupConfig Plugin v1.0.1

This update focuses on enhancing functionality and adding a convenient blacklist feature to simplify group management.

---

What's New in Version 1.0.1

🚀 New Features

• Blacklist Feature

  • Introduced support for excluding specific groups from the configuration using a Blacklist.
  • Supports wildcard patterns (e.g., rank_* will exclude all groups starting with "rank_").

• Configuration Rewrite Improvements

  • The plugin now intelligently rewrites the configuration file, removing only blacklisted groups while preserving existing data for non-blacklisted groups.

🔧 Enhancements

• Improved file handling to ensure seamless reading and writing of the GroupConfig.json file.
• Optimized group-loading logic to maintain server performance and reduce unnecessary operations.

Configuration Example

The plugin will generate a GroupConfig.json file on the first run. Customize this file to suit your server's needs. Here's an updated snippet:

{
  "Blacklist": [
    "rank_*",
    "test_group"
  ],
  "Groups": {
    "admin": {
      "Parent": "newadmin",
      "Commands": "tshock.admin.ban,tshock.cfg.whitelist,tshock.npc.spawnboss,tshock.npc.spawnmob",
      "Chat Color": [255, 255, 255],
      "Prefix": null,
      "Suffix": null
    },
    "trustedadmin": {
      "Parent": "admin",
      "Commands": "tshock.cfg.*,tshock.world.*,tshock.item.spawn,tshock.heal",
      "Chat Color": [255, 255, 255],
      "Prefix": null,
      "Suffix": null
    }
  }
}

Usage Tips

• Blacklist Usage: Add wildcard patterns to the Blacklist to exclude matching groups during configuration updates.
