Reasoning why this is part of the core and not a separate addon:
The impact of this function is extremely lightweight when (almost) no
aliases are defined so someone who isn't using this should not have a
worse experience.
Additionally including it in the core (similarly to the discounts,
taxes and restrictions) promotes it's availability while not massively
increasing the maintainability.
As for the OddItem removal:
That plugin hasn't been developed for over 7 years and such unique
plugin support should really be added via separate addon using the
events system which, with the new ItemStringQueryEvent, now actually
supports doing that from an external plugin.
If someone really managed to run their own private fork of OddItem for
all those years then they should be able to also provide such a simple
addon.
Message configs are now selected based on the client's language (can be
toggled in the config) and will use MineDown formatting to allow
display of component messages as well as usage of RGB colors in 1.16.
If found the legacy local.yml will be used instead of the per-language
files. Move your local.yml to the correct lang config to if you want to
use the per-client language option.
Version was also changed to 3.11 due to the many internal changes that
have accumulated over time
