Hologram Placeholders
Two new percentage-based placeholders are now available for hologram customization:

• %percentage_storage%% - Displays storage capacity as a percentage (e.g., 75.5%)
• %percentage_exp%% - Displays experience capacity as a percentage (e.g., 50.0%)

New Commands
/ss clear holograms

• Kill all text display holograms from the server
• Useful for cleaning up hologram displays after configuration changes or when holograms get stuck
• Permission: smartspawner.command.clear

/ss clear ghost_spawners

• Automatically detects and removes broken spawners without physical blocks
• Runs asynchronously to prevent server lag
• Provides detailed feedback on the number of spawners cleaned
• Permission: smartspawner.command.clear

Permission Updates
All command permissions now use a consistent .command prefix:

• smartspawner.command.use - Main command access (replaces smartspawner.admin)
• smartspawner.command.reload - Reload configuration
• smartspawner.command.give - Give spawners to players
• smartspawner.command.list - Access spawner list admin
• smartspawner.command.hologram - Toggle holograms
• smartspawner.command.prices - View spawner prices
• smartspawner.command.clear - Clear holograms and ghost spawners

Configuration Updates

• Updated mob_drops.yml - All mob drop rates have been corrected based on official Minecraft Wiki data. We recommend updating your configuration file to benefit from these accuracy improvements.

⚡ Performance Improvements
This update includes significant performance optimizations:

• Improved spawner range checking - Now runs most calculations efficiently and asynchronously
• Reduced server load - Optimized entity spawning process to use fewer resources
• Better memory usage - Spawners now handle entity creation more efficiently, reducing memory allocation
• Faster chunk operations - Optimized how the plugin interacts with world data

These changes should result in smoother gameplay, especially on servers with many spawners.

Important: If you're upgrading from an older version, please review the permission changes and update your permission plugin accordingly. The new logging system is enabled by default but can be disabled in the configuration.
