✨ Key Features

💬 Chat Channels & Messaging

• Global & Local Channels: Easily separate close-range talk from global chat using prefixes (e.g., !message).
• Private Messages: Smooth and fast PM system with /msg and /reply.
• Social Spy: Keep your server safe — administrators can secretly monitor private conversations.
• Player Mentions: Highlight player names with an optional audio cue (@player or @everyone).

🛡️ Advanced Moderation Tools

• Temporary Mutes: Mute disruptive players with automated duration parsing (e.g., 1h30m, 3d, 45s).
• Warning System: Issue warnings that trigger automated punishments (kick, ban, or mute) upon reaching the configurable limit.
• Chat Control: Lock the entire server chat globally or clear the chat history instantly.

🛑 Smart Anti-Spam & Censorship

• Text Normalization: Automatically fixes symbol flooding (e.g., "Heeeeeey") and cleans up double spaces.
• Smart Capitalization: Automatically converts full-CAPS messages into regular, readable sentences.
• Censorship: Block profanity and slurs using highly customizable regex filters.

🎮 Customization & Chat Games

• GUI Color Selector: Players can change their nickname colors or apply gradients via an intuitive graphical menu.
