🧩 Perfect Messages v1.0.4 — Visual Power & Smooth Control

✨ New Features

• 🖼️ Image Support in Messages You can now insert custom 128×128 images at the beginning of messages:

  /perfectmessage @a "pic.png &#5b50d4Hello, %player_name%!"
  

  ▫️ Images are stored in mods/pm/images/ — the folder is automatically created on launch. ▫️ Works perfectly with multiline messages and aligns vertically.

• ⌨️ Customizable Key Binding The message log window can now be toggled via Settings → Controls → PM: Toggle Message Log. Default key: N (you can now freely change it — it works correctly).

  /perfectmessage
  

  (replaces /showmessage in previous versions)

• 🌈 Better transparency balance for message backgrounds.
• 🧠 Improved placeholder parsing and color handling (&, &#hex, gradients, and obfuscated text).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Key binding always stuck to N and couldn’t be changed.

PerfectMessages 1.19.2!!

Changelog

Version 1.0.1 - 2025-02-24

New Features

• Text Shake Toggle: You can now turn the text shake effect on or off. If you prefer steady text, simply disable the enableShake option in the mod's configuration.
• Cleaner Text Measurements: A new helper function now removes extra formatting markers (double asterisks) when measuring text, ensuring that background boxes are correctly sized.

Improvements

• Better Text Alignment: Text boxes are now calculated using the cleaned-up text, which leads to improved centering and a neater overall appearance.
• Enhanced Visual Experience: Background rectangles now align perfectly with your messages, giving you a smoother and more visually appealing display.

Bug Fixes

• Formatting Marker Issue Fixed: Previously, special formatting markers were mistakenly factored into the width calculation, causing misaligned backgrounds. This has been resolved.
