When enabled, it dynamically strips legacy color codes from logger outputs, keeping your server console crisp and readable. * **Smart Integration Detector:** Added an `IntegrationChecker` that automatically scans for active **DiscordSRV** and **LPC** plugins on startup, printing helpful setup and configuration guidance straight to your console. ## 🛠️ Enhancements & Fixes * **Refactored Color Utilities:** Built a much sturdier backend handler to bridge legacy color codes and modern MiniMessage components. Includes under-the-hood automatic conversion utilities (`translateLegacyToMiniMessage`) and stricter text safety checks. * **Streamlined PlaceholderAPI Integration:** Completely reworked our placeholders for better stability and formatting logic. * Reorganized the placeholder structures for better clarity. * Added a dedicated `%color_legacy%` placeholder. * Improved stability when handling null or empty message inputs. * **Paper Server Optimization:** Modified the `ChatListener` to bypass redundant last-message tracking on Paper-based servers, saving processing overhead. * **Compatibility Recommendation:** Added a configuration comment recommending that server owners set their event-priority to `HIGHEST` for seamless operation alongside LPC or DiscordSRV. * **Stability Fix:** Fixed a critical initialization bug caused by a missing structural brace in the main initialization logic, ensuring smooth reloads and clean server starts.
