🌐 Online/Offline Server Support

 config.yml
server:
  use-uuids: true    Online mode (premium)
  use-uuids: false   Offline mode (cracked)

👁️ Admin Vault Access

Administrators can view and modify any player's vault, even when offline:

/ec open Notch        → Opens Notch's vault (even if offline)
/ec open Steve        → Opens Steve's vault for inspection

🔄 Async Database Operations

All database reads/writes are asynchronous to prevent server lag:

// Non-blocking vault loading
CompletableFuture<VaultData> loadVault(Player player);

// Non-blocking vault saving  
CompletableFuture<Void> saveVault(Player player, VaultData data);

🎨 Fully Customizable GUI

gui:
  title: "&5&lEnder Vault"
  admin-title: "&c&l{player}'s Vault"
  sounds:
    open:
      sound: "BLOCK_ENDER_CHEST_OPEN"
    page-turn:
      sound: "ITEM_BOOK_PAGE_TURN"

🎯 Use Cases

🏠 Survival Servers

Problem: Players want more storage, but vanilla ender chest is limited.

Solution: Grant donors/ranks larger vault sizes as perks.

Default Player  → 27 slots (free)
VIP Rank        → 54 slots

🌐 Server Networks (BungeeCord/Velocity)

Problem: Ender chest contents don't sync across servers.

Solution: Use MySQL backend for cross-server vault synchronization.

🛡️ Admin Moderation

Problem: Need to check if a player is storing illegal items.

Solution: Use /ec open <player> to inspect any vault.

/ec open SuspiciousPlayer
→ Opens their vault for inspection
→ Works even if player is offline
→ Can remove contraband items

💰 Economy Servers

Problem: Want to sell storage upgrades for in-game currency.

Solution: Integrate with permission plugins + economy.

/buy vault-upgrade 54   → Grants ecvault.size.54

🎮Supports all Servers

Problem: UUID-based storage fails on offline servers.

Solution: Toggle to name-based identification.

server:
  use-uuids: false   Use player names instead
