This is the start of some code cleanup I've done. This is not the final form. I will be making additional changes like making the help message configurable.

Refactoring

Currently the main file (Hug.java) has over 500 lines! I took it upon myself to organize everything a little bit and put everything in separate packages and files.

Slight optimization improvements

While refactoring I came across at least 4 of these empty if statements with an else statement afterwards:

I rewrote it slightly so now it's just an if statement.

More advanced /pride command

Something that's been on my mind since begin 2022 and the reason I decided to contribute in the first place: Currently /pride only has the option to show the rainbow hearts, which is nice and all, but I'd prefer to also be able to show pride in other colors, such as the ace colors! (black, gray, white, purple). My rewrite of the plugin takes an argument (with tabcompleter) to select different colors. If the argument isn't in the list or zero arguments are provided it will default to the rainbow flag.

I believe this plugin has been uploaded to the Spigot plugin database thing here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/hug.96186

Currently the README marks this as "Coming Soon":

Spigot Coming Soon

That should probably be updated.

Currently, in Hug.java, there's these 4 lines:

/*
 * This plugin was created by AutismFather for the Autcraft and Autcraft Obsidian servers.
 * No other servers are permitted to use this plugin in part or in it's entirety.
 */

This is likely left over from before its source code was published here, and from my understanding means that no one else is actually allowed to use this plugin, which doesn't make much sense and so is likely unintended. That comment should maybe be removed, and maybe replaced with a proper license for this repository.

A proper license for this repository, like one from choosealicense.com, would also allow other people to legally fork this repository so they can add new features and stuff to it. It would also make this plugin open source instead of just source available (I think, none of this is legal advice but is correct to my knowledge).
