im wondering the same thing tbh.. it would be nice to get an updated version

[poohzaza166]

well worst case someone who need it just fork it. The dependency of the plugin like MCCore is no longer updated for 1.16. So it might need a hole rewrite of the code but 1.16 have item attribute modifier build in, the rewrite will be more easy or harder depend

The main concern with forking is that @Eniripsa96 has a premium version that quite a few people paid for =/

Which is the main reason why I would never pay for a plugin without getting the source code. You are basically helpless once support drops. And you also can't make improvements on your own.
Your only hope is that somebody makes an alternative plugin and you hopefully haven't stuck to much time and energy in the dead project.

This is the reason I did not continue working with the plugin back in 2018. It is a good plugin, but without the updates or source access, a drop can be devastating. This happened with MassiveLock too. It pushed me entirely out of Minecraft server development.

well in my opinion forking premium branch of this plugin is fine because of the inactivity of the project owner and all software have a life cycle rember windows 7 people pay for that and now it on hard life support

The problem is that this isn't a moral problem, but a technical.

The sourcecode for the premium version isn't public. And the jar that the buyers recieved is most likely heavily obfuscated. So it won't be an easy job recreating it.

[poohzaza166]

it is it just 70 commit behind master there is a premium branch on the page and there is a folder start with src that is the source

[MWFIAE]

Oh wow, mobile didn't display all the branches, that's why I didn't understand you correctly 😅
Well then I think just forking the project and adding fixes won't be a problem as long as it isn't in any way commercialized.

Edit: Also wrong, the files all seem to have an MIT license header. Feel free guys! :)

[poohzaza166]

well i don't know the appeal of forking this for my own use since hypixel skyblock is a thing but if there is any interest in mmorpg plugin with pvp also my knowlage of java is quite limited
