Update to 1.14

[Jikoo]

Just popping this issue open so you all know I'm aware of 1.14 and am going to slowly progress on it.

A note for those of you using the OpenInv API - due to changes required in 1.14, I've been forced to revisit a couple of methods. As such, I'm bumping the revision a major version and removing the existing deprecated methods.

I don't have a testing environment set up, and I'm out of time for today. Untested build, please report any issues. OpenInv.zip

For the more faint of heart, I'll probably set up a testing environment tomorrow.

For you brave souls who downloaded the build, it's a good thing I made a mistake in SpecialPlayerInventory, because not opening is probably better than improper slot count yielding pretty severe client desync. Most of the way to a proper fix, but I likely won't have any time to devote to it for another couple days.

Hello, I'm new and would like to know how to put this in my environment to test. Since its not a .jar file i'm quite lost on what to do.

Download file and rename the .zip to .jar

Hey, so i am an idiot when it comes to compiling things, and was wondering if you could possibly just send me the latest compiled version (for 1.14 ofc) asap? Thanks :)

@MajorLOLGaming the only release so far is in a previous post in this issue thread.

For anyone using the API, I apologize for the fluctuations. It turns out that while opening an InventoryView allows us to rename the view, Spigot does not support custom Container sizes for existing InventoryViews. While this is technically a Spigot bug and could be reproduced in an API-only plugin, for the sake of not altering the OpenInv API so much I'm planning to add a new method to circumvent it.

For those of you interested, another snapshot: OpenInv.zip
Opened player inventories will be named "Chest" on 1.14 but otherwise everything seems to be in order.

While going through the update process, it occurred to me at several points that my life would have been made significantly easier by being able to access Java 8 features. I'll be releasing one last version with full backwards compatibility. After that, OpenInv will be dropping support for Java versions <8. With that, I also see no reason to continue to maintain support for such a huge quantity of outdated versions.

When I took over maintaining OpenInv, there were enough dupe bugs and longstanding issues to warrant backporting bugfixes to older versions, but at this point it's just a barrier that prevents other developers getting involved. I plan on maintaining only 1.8.8 and whatever happen to be the latest 2 major revisions at the time. In the future, OpenInv will require the current Minecraft release's minimum Java version, despite what older supported versions may allow.
