Considering the lack of care this project has, it bothers me significantly.
There's a pull request currently active that fixes the flooding of error messages, yet the developer has not properly pushed the update out yet.
I would like to use this plugin for a production server, considering how sloppy this is, and the lack of care from the developer, I presume the plugin is not well optimized, and contains lots of flaws.
If I can't expect an update to the new version to be stable, or even incorporate other peoples fixes, then I have zero desire to use this plugin.

If you can clean up your act developer, that would be great.

The release is not available but you can always use the build artifacts if you really want. The developer is basically inactive but you can always make a PR and he will merge it.

I tried the build artifact that was produced from my PR. It still spits out errors. Not sure why.

@alexchandel try the latest one from the master branch, it should work fine.

Yep the latest build artifact works for me on PaperMC 1.18.1. Just need a release bump now.

Which PR? Mine (#292) was merged a couple weeks ago, but the crashing continues with a new error now.

The latest build artifact does not load for me on 1.18.1 PurpurMC IDK why. All I get is:

Could not load 'plugins\ExtraHardMode.jar' in folder 'plugins'
