## EliteLootbox 2.4.9

Added

Hex colour support. Messages now accept full RGB colours in two formats: &#RRGGBB (e.g. &#FFAA00) and bare #RRGGBB (e.g. #55FFFF).

Gradient tags. Text can be wrapped in <gradient:#START:#END>...</gradient> to blend colours across each character. Any number of colour stops is supported, e.g. <gradient:#FF0000:#FFFF00:#00FF00> fades red to yellow to green.

Formatting inside gradients. Style codes such as &l (bold), &o (italic) and &n (underline) now work inside gradient tags without breaking the colour blend.

Changed

Mixed formats in one message. Legacy & codes, hex colours and gradient tags can all be combined freely in a single string. Previously you had to pick one system. Example:

&7[&dShop&7] &#FFAA00Welcome, #55FFFFSteve! <gradient:#FF0000:#FFFF00:#00FF00>&lSALE NOW ON</gradient> &aType /shop

Compatibility

All existing &0–&f and &k–&r codes behave exactly as before, so no config changes are needed.

On clients or versions below 1.16, hex colours fall back to the nearest legacy colour.

## EliteLootbox 2.4.8

### Fixed
- Item serialization no longer depends on SnakeYAML's internal `Base64Coder`, which
  newer server builds no longer expose — the class is now `java.util.Base64`.
  Existing lootbox and inventory data still loads: reads go through a MIME decoder,
  which accepts the line-wrapped output the old code wrote.
- Streams in the serializer are closed via try-with-resources, so a failed read or
  write no longer leaks them.
- Malformed Base64 now throws an `IOException` that callers can handle, rather than
  an unchecked `IllegalArgumentException` escaping from the decoder.
- Item NBT is written through the current NBT-API path, fixing tags on lootbox and
  reward items being dropped on newer server versions.

### Changed
- Added Minecraft 26.2 Support.
- `ItemSerializer` rewritten around a shared read/write helper — the six methods
  were each repeating the same stream setup, size prefix, and error handling.

### Build
- Underlying libraries updated with PluginAPI: Spigot API 1.20 -> 1.21.11,
  NBT-API 2.12.2 -> 2.15.7, XSeries 9.9.0 -> 13.7.0. Now targets Java 17.
- Version is sourced from the root `versions.properties` and templated into
  `plugin.yml`.
