So, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but there was recently an update to the showcase plugin put in by our mods, in an effort to keep the server up-to-date and bug free, which is very generous of them. However, a couple things occurred that might be of interest to the staff as a result of this update...
1. All of the potions in my shop have had their damage values altered. I don't know what they are now since I don't have a way of checking that, but what this basically means is that I cannot brew with them any further (any attempts to make the regular poison potions or regular health potions into splash potions or more powerful versions of themselves is not recognized by the brewing stands). This renders the harmful potions pretty much useless, because no one wants to poison themselves on a regular basis, but also creates a unique problem for my healing and supplementation potions...
2. I cannot add new stock to any of my existing Showcases displaying healing or damaging potions. When I attempt to, it says no new stock was added. The new and old stock looks exactly the same from a cosmetic perspective - the same duration of effectiveness, power level, everything. The only thing different, which causes them to be unable to be combinable into one showcase, is that their damage values are different from one another. The potions are literally impossible to tell apart otherwise.
3. A new and interesting bug that has arisen with the newest update is that a showcase can now no longer be created with potions made after the update (presumably, the showcase mod changed the damage values of the old potions to a format that could be used properly with the update, but it didn't apply to not-yet-created potions). Even after gathering 30+ potions in my inventory to make a new showcase, when an attempt is made to display and sell them, a message stating that I don't have enough stock to make a showcase appears. This, as you can imagine, is sort of frustrating, as it means I can now no longer make and sell new stock unless I make chests and signs, which sort of eliminates the point of showcase.
Presumably these bugs will be fixed by the developer, but I fail to see why a developer of any plugin would release a version that is so incredibly buggy. I've had problems with duplicated fake potions that disappear when I try to store or use them but look identical otherwise to the real potions, meaning I can't figure out which ones are real or not. This and many other problems are what we get for an "update"? Seems a bit like a downgrade to me.
Anyways, I appreciate the hard work the admins are doing and I understand the frustration in being limited by the developer of the plugin itself - you guys can only do so much with what you're given. I'm glad that you guys are willing to be accommodating, and this post is more of an FYI for you guys, in case you wanted to pass it on in a ticket with some config errors or something of the sort.
I'll post with what I'm missing from my splash potion stock on this same thread shortly. Thanks for the help.
Sincerely,
Islid Davilas
