### Development pause
As my exams are getting closer, you may have noticed that this repository hasn't been really been updated in a while.
In this announcement I just want to say that because of said exams I won't be updating the plugin for a while.
Development will resume in a few months.
### Future of this plugin
That said, I'd like to talk about the new 1.21 update.
In the latest snapshot jukeboxes became data driven, that means users can add their own music discs without this plugin being required. However I intend to still support 1.21 and later versions, the plugin makes configuring the discs as easy as possible, and it also has some unique features like the jukebox gui, and the upcoming advanced jukebox gui & nbs support.
I would also like to add that, since both studying engineering and developing a project this big alone is not really feasable, the plugin 2.1 update will be the last major feature update. I think I added everything the community may need, and I also build a easy-to-use api for plugin developers to interact with the plugin in case a custom solution is needed.
The only exception to this are bug fixes and major minecraft updates.
That could change if the repository gets another mantainer, but as of now I'm not willing to spend money for a project that's completely free.
Also who knows, perhaps I'll pull a Terraria move and come back in a year with a final final update.
That's all everyone,
Andrew
