Major Changes

⚠ Breaking Changes

The last colour of %string% expression has been reworked, adding additional support. This necessitated a pattern change, so existing code using this expression should now use last string colour code of %string%.
The potion type type has been renamed to potion effect type. Usages of the previous name will need to be updated in scripts.
The chiseled bookshelf and decorated pot inventory types have been renamed to [chiseled] bookshelf inventory and decorated pot inventory respectively. Usages of the previous names will need to be updated in scripts.
event-item in the 'armor change event' has been removed in favor of 'old armor item' and 'new armor item'
