!! Beta Update !!

This is a beta update! It is highly advised to not use it in production or on public servers! It is mostly untested and still very much in development, so breaking changes may occur. Additionally, it may cause game breaking issues (disappearing items, item duplication, config corruption).

There are only a few recommended scenarios where you may use it:

• Your server is private, and you do not mind game breaking issues (like loosing items, item duplication, config corruption)
• You want to try the latest version on a test server, help test it and report issue before release.

Either way, you should make a backup of your server/data before installing this beta.

This update introduces the new StackReference and StackIdentifier classes, that provide a lot of features to reference external Items (from like Oraxen, MMOItems, etc.) and replace the old very limited APIReference.

CustomItem ⇾ StackReference

From this update onward CustomItems are no longer used to reference external Items, instead that is the task of the StackReference.

The only purpose of the CustomItem is to represent the well... CustomItem created via WolfyUtils. They do use a StackReference to wrap external stacks, but are no longer used as a plain reference.

APIReference ⇾ StackIdentifier

APIReferences are now replaced by StackIdentifiers, and no longer keep track of the amount and weight, because those properties are now part of the StackReference. StackIdentifiers only contain the info required to identify the external item stack, like an ID or name.

So in return, plugins requiring references to external stacks no longer have to use CustomItems everywhere and no longer need to accept the overhead that comes with it. Instead, it only requires the StackReference, which contains a lot less data, and has a lot less overhead.
