If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.

[+] 1.16 support (Read the notes)

But there are some notes to make:
The RGB function announched by spigot (and minecraft) is not yet supported. The reason is because PrefiX is only a translation from the players to the permission system.
The reading of the prefix out of LuckPerms is done by a lot of different plugins, and they use their own defines to read RGB colors.
This means there is not (yet) a default way to do this. At the moment there is some kind of default I'll support this.

If you know how the plugin you use to display the Prefix handles the rgb please let me know. I add those methods somewhat later.

If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.

[+] Specific name and prefix colors not longer need the parant permission to work
[+] Tabsupport now only shows the commands you have permission for

If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.

This update is because I was asked to let the admin define custom messages. For now I don't do that because of the massive amount of specific messages in the plugin. Maybe in the furure I will add this. But to compromise a little I've made this update.

[+] Prefix of the plugin is now editable in the config
[+] Normal-color and error-color can now get defined

If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.

[+] Added console support with various commands

If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.

[+] Added prefix.blacklist for an exclude of the blacklist-check
[+] Fixed the bug when you won't give a namecolor

[-] Removed some forgotten debug messages in the startup

Fixed ingame update notification shows always

Today's update is an import one. From now on you can customize the chars in front and behind of the Prefix. Thanks to @swerck for this idea.

If you find any bugs etc. please let me know in the Discussions or in a PM.
