Manta Plugin Update: New version now available! (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

A new update for the Manta plugin is now available for download (attached at the bottom of this post)! Recently, changes on the platform caused issues when handling purchased chapters and content. I have completely resolved this token authentication/retrieval issue affecting purchased content, and the plugin is now fully operational and compatible with all content types again 👍

I'm also re-posting the plugin details from the previous post, so anyone who missed them before can catch up on how it works:

As always, since this plugin interacts with an official service, it will never be released publicly. Just like similar plugins in the past, it will remain a permanent exclusive for Patreon subscribers, even after the alpha branch eventually merges with the JAM master branch and it will require an active, linked Patreon account to function within the app. So, even if it gets leaked outside of Patreon (which obviously I ask you not to do), it will still be completely unusable with the public version of the software.

Also, this plugin is being released strictly "as-is" as a one-time gift. I will not be providing updates, maintenance, or any future support to keep this specific plugin active. As always, I am warning you in advance: it could stop working (or I might be forced to take it down) at any time.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ⚠️

Please be aware that this plugin does not check whether you are logged in, nor does it verify if you have purchased the chapter you try to download! If you attempt to download a paid chapter without being logged in or without having purchased it, the program will still send the requests to the server, but it will only download black or corrupted images (you can NOT download unpurchased contents for free!).

Please do not try to download content you have not purchased!

As you can see in the above screenshot, requesting files you do not own will not work, but more importantly, it may trigger the site's security protections and anti-piracy checks. Doing so could easily result in your account being permanently banned. As always, I take absolutely no responsibility for any bans or actions taken against your account. You are using this tool at your own risk. I'll say this again: please be smart and do not attempt to download unpurchased materials, as it is completely useless and only exposes you to unnecessary risks!

How to Install

The download link is attached below for eligible tiers. Just copy the plugin (the attached .jar file) into the plugins folder inside your Alpha directory. Keep in mind that JAM scans for plugins only upon launch. So, if the application is already running, you must restart it to allow it to detect the newly added plugin.

Thank you all for your continued support! ❤
