AtlasLobby 0.3.1-Beta

The first Beta: a top-to-bottom overhaul that makes AtlasLobby feel premium — a real cosmetic system, a coins economy, a flicker-free animated scoreboard, and gradient text throughout. Still 100% free, no paywalls.

✨ New: Cosmetic system

• Three cosmetic types — particles, hats, and gadgets (right-click toys).
• Categories + rarity tiers (Common → Mythic) with per-rarity colours and glow.
• Auto-generated, paginated cosmetics GUI with category tabs — no more hand-placing items.
• 7 new particle animations (atom, nova, hurricane, heartbeat, star, beam, shield) and many new cosmetics.
• Equip one particle + one hat + one gadget at the same time.

🪙 New: Coins economy

• Earn coins from daily rewards, spend them to unlock cosmetics.
• Works standalone, or sync with Vault (economy.coins.use-vault).
• /coins for players; /al coins give|take|set <player|all> <amount> for admins.

🎨 New: Premium presentation

• Gradient (<gradient:#a:#b>) and rainbow text anywhere text is accepted.
• Custom player-head icons (owner / URL / base64) in menus and hats.
• Flicker-free, animated scoreboard (team-backed, in-place updates).
• Fully re-themed menus, messages, and cosmetics in the "Atlas aqua" style.

🛠️ Improvements & fixes

• Daily rewards now grant coins (base + per-streak bonus).
• Fixed held-item flicker caused by the inventory sanitizer.
• Added /setlobby (alias of /setspawn) and /al cosmetic equip|unequip.
• New placeholders: %coins%, %equipped_hat%, %equipped_gadget%, %cosmetics_unlocked%, and more.

⚠️ Upgrading from 0.2.x (clean break)

Configs were restructured. Back up your plugins/AtlasLobby/ folder, then delete cosmetics.yml and menus.yml so they regenerate. Player data carries over automatically.

Requires: Paper/Spigot 1.21, Java 21.
