CHANGES:

✅Updated to Spigot 1.21.

Ensures compatibility with the latest version of Spigot.

Added welcome-mode option.
Choose between time-based or count-based limits for welcoming a new player.
Code (Text):
# Set to either "time" or "count":
# - "time": Players can welcome the newest player within a time window (in seconds)
# - "count": A limited number of players (max-welcomes) can welcome the newest player
welcome-mode: "time"
welcome-time-limit-seconds: 300
max-welcomes: 3
Tiered rewards system.
Customizable rewards for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. players to welcome the newcomer.
Code (Text):
# Reward tiers
# You can configure different rewards based on welcome order.
# Use %player% for the welcomer and %newplayer% for the new player.
rewards:
  1:
    message: "&aYou were the first to welcome %newplayer%! Here's a reward!"
    commands:
      - "eco give %player% 500"
  2:
    message: "&bYou were the second to welcome %newplayer%! You get a smaller bonus!"
    commands:
      - "eco give %player% 350"
  3:
    message: "&eThanks for welcoming %newplayer%! You’ve earned a reward of $250!"
    commands:
      - "eco give %player% 250"
Fallback reward behavior.
Code (Text):
# If true, the last tiered reward will be reused for any additional players beyond the configured tiers.
# If false, players beyond the tier limit will receive a "no reward" message.
repeat-last-tier: true

# Message shown when repeat-last-tier is false and no more rewards are available.
no-reward-message: "&7Thanks for welcoming %newplayer%, but all rewards have already been claimed."
Prevent duplicate welcoming.
Code (Text):
# Welcome window expired or player already welcomed
already-welcome: "&7There is no new player to welcome right now, or the welcome window has ended."
Reload command can now be run from console.
Useful for server admins updating settings on the fly.
