Add owo-lib rich translations compatibility

[kikugie]

Rich translations allow creating text with configurable effects using owo-lib: https://docs.wispforest.io/owo/rich-translations/
This format translates nicely to yaml:

soundboard:
  title:
    - text: Soundboard
      color: aqua
      bold: true

In the plugin it is a simple change - whenever the endpoint value is a list, it preserves all its contents and converts to json as is.

Suggestion: create a boolean switch for it, since it's not that a Minecraft standard. Benefits:

• People won't trigger this feature unintentionally
• Better implemetation control if there are similiar features in the future

Are these complex implementations really necessary? thonk

[kikugie]

Apparently yes, because the filtering reader doesn't accept additional constructor args, like extensions do, so the alternative is either to create a non-static inner class or an anonymous class to get variables from the outer scope. The third way messes with how gradle injects passed properties via reflection, but that requires implementing non-api interfaces.

Any updates on this? Or preferred other methods?

I want to have a try myself to see if there's any better implementation on this when I have time. If you really needs this feature, you can use your fork for now (e.g. via jitpack)

A cleaner approach, where Yamlang2JsonlangMapper is an inner class that can pull fields from YamlangConvertor

[Fallen-Breath]

Yeah this approach is much nicer

[kikugie]

Hhhh big bummer:

Gradle requires a constructor that only accepts a Reader, where as inner classes sneakily get another argument.

[kikugie]

Since Gradle is not very welcoming of configurable filters, this is going to be cursed anyway. I'd leave as default behavior because you don't use lists in normal translation files.
The last alternative is to throw away the Gradle copy spec function and simply do the same process manually.
If no other solution works, I'll just host the fork on my maven in case someone needs the rich translation support.

You can simply use this method to pass argument to the filter: https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/file/CopySpec.html#filter(java.util.Map,java.lang.Class)

Changes are already pushed to your branch and it's now working. You can have another check to see if that's what you want
