HyronicFriends - Connect players 1.4.3

• Support for Item Model in GUI settings
  This serves as an alternative to the old CustomModelData on 1.21.4+ servers.
  The resource pack is also updated to utilize Item Model for player head textures. You can check an example here.

Since there are cases where a user would go to my server and ask whether the plugin would be updated without providing any reason, and there are cases where someone would misunderstand the future rework as "The author will not provide support for the current plugin", I took this update and put a notice here.
First, I don't believe in meaningless updates. Whenever I post an update of a plugin, there are always reasons behind it that can be seen in the change logs. Therefore, if you want an update, you must provide a reason for it, in the form of a bug report or a feature request. Mindlessly requesting an update without providing a reason for it would not make the situation any better, as I won't understand what you need just from that.
Second, as seen in this announcement, a rewrite is being planned. It doesn't mean I would abandon the current plugin, as I have been posting bug-fixes updates since that announcement and there is no line in that mentioning me abandoning the plugin. The rewrite is still being planned, but there is no guarantee about the certain time it will finish. For now, I'm still posting updates with bug-fixes for the current versions.
Finally, the Discord server is always the place you can go to ask for support. However, please be civil and follow the rules there. It's a one-man support channel so the respond time is not consistent, please be patient and your questions will be answered by me.

• Update the dependencies to ensure support for recent Minecraft versions

• Update libraries to support Minecraft 1.21.10

• Use PaperMC's adventure for messages when possible
  Now the plugin would check if the server has built-in support for Adventure and use the preferred code.
  That also means that you can use this plugin in newer versions, as long as there is no breaking change on their side. For Spigot servers, required libraries would be downloaded when you run the server.
• Downgrade the plugin to Java 8
  This would allows for some hybrid server implementations
• Replace HikariCP with built-in SQL clients
• Clean up some unused code

1. Fix an item dupe in Send Mail GUI
   This is an oversight in the code from the original developer which causes the items to be wrongly selected and then causes the dupe when closing the GUI. This update corrects the item-selecting behavior in the GUI.
   Thanks @Eunsum for the report

1. Fix a Sound exception on 1.21.3

1. Fix Skull issues in recent server builds

1. Silently throw exceptions about Skull without interrupting the run
   Fix a weird issue with empty cached texture (I don't know why this exists)
