MCPets 4.1.11

Release 4.1.11 – Persistent skins & stability

Features

• Pets now keep their active skin after a server restart or reconnection -> the skin is reapplied on
  respawn instead of falling back to the default model
• UseDefaultMythicMobNames can now be set per-pet, on top of the global option
• Reordered configuration options for clearer, more logical config files

Fixes & Stability

• Fixed pet skins resetting after a server restart (and on Velocity cross-server switches)
• Skin restoration now re-checks permissions -> a player who lost access to a skin no longer keeps it
  forced on reconnect
• Prevented phantom pets from being stored in the database
• Database operations are now fully asynchronous -> no more main-thread blocking on save & load
• Fixed missing imports and a leftover legacy logging call

Network / Velocity

• Improved Velocity sync initialization and added validation for database support -> safer startup
  when cross-server sync is enabled

Under the Hood

• Item metadata is now stored through the Persistent Data Container (PDCTag) instead of
  display/localized-name tagging -> more reliable and future-proof item identification

Misc Improvements

• ItemsAdder "missing item" warnings are no longer logged when Nexo is installed -> cleaner startup
  logs on Nexo setups. Also switch from WARN to INFO

Dependencies & Build

• Bumped maven-compiler-plugin to 3.15.0 and Lombok to 1.18.44

• Migrated ItemsAdder to the new dev.lone coordinates (4.0.10) and updated Nexo to 1.21.0
• Added the matteodev Maven repository
  display/localized-name tagging -> more reliable and future-proof item identification
