FirstJoinRewards v1.1 – Multi-message Support

• ✅ NEW: Support for multiple welcome messages!
  Use the new message_formats list in config.yml:
  
  
  Code (YAML):

  message_formats :
   - "hej %player%"                   #en: "hey %player%"
    - "witaj %player%"                 #en: "welcome %player%"
    - "siema %player%"                 #en: "yo %player%"
    - "miło cię widzieć, %player%"     #en: "nice to see you, %player%"
    - "yo %player%"                   #en: "yo %player%"
    - "dobrze, że jesteś %player%"     #en: "glad you're here %player%"
• Only the first welcome message counts – others are ignored
• Self-welcoming is blocked and shows a warning
• ✅ Backward compatible: Old message_format still works
• Improved safety for special characters in messages (e.g. punctuation)

Reminder: Plugin Features

• Auto-detects first joins
• Welcome message with custom colors (HEX supported)
• Reward system:
  • Console commands (e.g. eco give %sender% 100)
  • Item rewards (optional)
• Combo rewards: 50, 100, 150, 200+ welcomes
• SQLite-based storage – no MySQL needed
• /fjr reload command for config hot-reloading
• YAML configuration – PL + EN ready
