1.0.7

📦 ImprovedHoppers – Update Release

This update addresses several critical bugs and improves plugin reliability across different setups.

🛠 Fixes

• Hopper Filters & Holograms

  • Fixed: Filters would not save to specified hoppers when DecentHolograms was not installed.
  • Fixed: On updating to a newer version, hoppers no longer revert to vanilla named hoppers—they now retain their ImprovedHoppers data.

• BentoBox Compatibility

  • Fixed: Plugin no longer stalls on servers running BentoBox without AcidIsland.
  • Improved startup logic to properly handle alternative world names (e.g., bskyblock_world) instead of being locked to acidisland_world.

• Configuration Reload

  • Fixed: Config watcher now properly reloads updated settings from disk.
  • Manual edits to config.yml are immediately recognized without requiring /ImprovedHoppers reload.

✅ With these fixes, ImprovedHoppers is now more stable, compatible, and responsive to server environments.
