What's New:
✅ Added integration with bStats
✅ Implemented automatic plugin update checking
✅ Encapsulated the loading of settings and messages for cleaner code structure
ℹ️ Why are bStats and update checking important?
bStats is a fully anonymous and lightweight statistics system
It helps us:

• Understand which versions of Minecraft and Java you're using
• Improve compatibility with other plugins
• See which features are most popular

⚠️ Important: bStats does not affect server performance and does not send any personal data.

Auto-updating — key to stability
The plugin now checks for new versions:

• Automatically on startup
• Without delay or server load
• With a console message if an update is available

This allows you to:

• Quickly receive bug fixes
• Access new features without constantly checking manually

If you have any suggestions or feedback — we're always happy to hear from you!
Thank you for using our plugin ❤️

I never expected this plugin to gain such widespread popularity.
To be honest, I hadn’t checked this resource for almost a year and didn’t anticipate that so many of you would continue to use and enjoy it.
Thank you for your trust and support. Now, let’s talk about what’s new:

✅ Codebase and Performance

• Complete codebase refactor — every class has been rewritten with modern development practices.
  
• Improved error handling — all known bugs and potential issues have been identified and resolved.
  
• Maximum optimization — the plugin now performs significantly better, even on large-scale servers.
  
• New data storage system — redesigned for maximum efficiency and scalability.

Feature Enhancements

• Multi-line message support — now possible via \n in config strings.
  
• Configurable messages — extensive new message options (e.g., first kit redemption, command-specific messages).
  
• Dynamic /kit command behavior — redirect it to external menus (AbstractMenus, DeluxeMenus, etc.).
  
• Kit names — each kit can now have both an id and a name.
  Use %kit_name% for display name (with color support including RGB), and %kit_id% for its identifier.
  
• Time formatting — centralized formatting for time in both messages and placeholders.
  
• Inventory handling — configurable option to drop items when the inventory is full.
  
• Placeholder settings — fine-tuned control over what placeholders are active.
  
• PlaceholderAPI is now optional — recognized as a soft dependency instead of a hard one.

⚙️ Command and UX Improvements

• Smart tab completion — /kit and other commands now suggest valid next arguments if the sender has permission.
  
• Message suppression — want to remove a message? Just leave it empty in the config.
  
• Expanded version support — now compatible with all Minecraft versions up to 1.21.

Thank you once again for continuing to use this plugin.
Your feedback means a lot — feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions!
