🎉 FirstJoinRewards – Welcome Bedrock and Java Players with Rewards!

FirstJoinRewards is a lightweight, fully configurable Minecraft plugin that rewards players for welcoming newcomers.
It now supports both Java and Bedrock players thanks to Geyser + Floodgate integration!

✨ Features

• 👋 Detects when a player joins for the first time
• 🏁 The first player to say the correct welcome message (e.g. hej Steve) receives a reward
• 🎮 Works with Bedrock player names like *Steve_, ._Alex, etc.
• 🎁 Rewards can be:
  • A console command (e.g. give money, permissions)
  • An in-game item (e.g. diamonds, XP bottles)
• 🔁 Optional combo rewards for 50, 100, 150, etc.
• 🧠 Supports player name normalization (Java/Bedrock compatible)
• 🧾 Editable messages.yml with multi-language support (PL + EN)
• 🎨 Full support for HEX colors (&#00ffcc) and Minecraft formatting (&a)
• ⚙️ Configurable:
  • Message formats
  • Reward types
  • Timeout duration
  • Prefix
• 📂 Uses lightweight SQLite (no external database required)
• 🔄 Admin command: /fjr reload to reload config and messages
• 🚀 Extremely performant — only active when needed
• ✅ Supports Java and Bedrock (via Floodgate)
• 🛠 Works with Spigot, Paper, and Purpur

💡 Why Use This Plugin?

• Builds a warm and welcoming player community
• Encourages kindness and fun interaction
• Adds a social layer to your server experience
• Easy to configure, powerful in effect

⚙️ How It Works

1. A player joins the server for the first time
2. A global message is broadcast (e.g. “Steve joined for the first time!”)
3. Other players have 30 seconds to type a matching welcome message (e.g. hej Steve)
4. The first to do so receives a reward (configurable)

🔌 Floodgate Support

• Bedrock players are automatically detected
• No Floodgate hard-dependency — plugin runs even if not installed
• softdepend: [Floodgate] included for proper plugin load order
