• Hey everyone! We want to be transparent about a persistent issue we've been working to resolve with the avatar system. Recent updates have focused on fixing an error that affected how the plugin saved images. This was causing failures, especially when using the /acs donate command.

  
  

  The result is simple but important:
  The plugin now saves images reliably. With this fix, the avatar system is more robust and dependable, ensuring all functions, like the /acs donate command, work without errors. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make your plugin experience the best it can be.

  
  

• Avatars are now correctly saved in the downloaded/ folder, preventing path and naming errors when executing the /acs donate command on both Spigot and BungeeCord.

What’s new:

The plugin now supports Spanish and English translations only.

Added a new command: /acs clearcache to manually clear cached avatar images.

Improvement:

When the plugin starts, it now checks how many avatar images are stored.

If there are too many images, it automatically deletes them to prevent clutter and save server resources.

• - Improved avatar system with more reliable caching.
  - Fixed issues with avatar file names and paths on Windows/Linux.
  - Better integration with SkinsRestorer on CRACKED/PREMIUM servers.
  - Each downloaded avatar is now added directly to the cache to avoid repeated disk reads.
  - On every player login, avatars are preloaded into the cache for faster access and reduced disk usage.
  - Overall stability and performance improvements.

• Improved avatar system for faster performance and lower resource usage.

  
  

  Avatars are now cached to avoid repeated downloads.

  
  

  Supports both online avatars and local images automatically.

  
  

  Reduced memory usage and improved overall plugin performance.

  
  

• Resolved an issue with Tebex and CraftingStore initialization that occurred on the first plugin startup.
