QTeams 1.0.0 - Initial Release

Welcome to the initial launch of QTeams! QTeams is an advanced team routing, tablist management, and client-side anti-leak plugin developed specifically for Paper and Purpur 1.20+ servers running competitive tournaments, scripted SMPs, and multi-world events.

Included Features in v1.0.0

Tablist Sorting & Custom Formatting

• Weight-Based Tab Ordering: Sort players on the tablist by custom numeric priorities (tab_weight). Teams with lower weights sort higher on the vanilla player list, allowing admins, leaders, or priority squads to appear first.
• Tab Roster Formatting: Automatically formats player list names with team colors and assigned roles (e.g., [Red ┃ Healer] Username).
• Global & Per-Team Controls: Toggle the entire tablist formatting system globally in the Main GUI, or customize individual team weights and visibility independently.

Async Full Render-Distance No-Leak Engine

• Event-Driven Chunk Masking: Listens to Paper's PlayerChunkLoadEvent to automatically mask newly loaded chunks up to the player's full client render distance.
• Off-Thread ChunkSnapshot Scanning: Processes block analysis asynchronously off the main server thread, eliminating TPS drops and Netty packet buffer overflows during world rendering.
• Batched Packet Updates: Sends block updates using section-wide multi-block change packets, drastically lowering outgoing network packets per chunk.
• Radial Restoration: Toggling No-Leak off smoothly refreshes the player's view distance radially outward, restoring true blocks without server lag or visual glitches.

PlayerView Distance & Limit Culling Engine

• Configurable Visual Culling: Limit how far players can render each other or cap the maximum number of visible players to reduce client-side FPS drop in crowded arenas.
• Automatic Staff Bypass: Server Operators (OPs) permanently bypass all visual culling rules.
• Custom Exemption Lists: Configure specific teams or player UUIDs that remain permanently visible to all players.

Command Selectors & Teleport Utilities

• Squad Target Selectors: Native @team and @team:role command selector expansion for Bukkit commands (e.g., /give @blue iron_sword or /effect give @red:scout speed).
• Random Teleport Operator: Execute /tp r <player> or /qt tprand <player> to teleport a random eligible player to a target coordinate.

GUI Management Suite

• Complete visual control through /qt gui, covering team creation, wool-based color palettes, friendly fire toggles, glow outlines, No-Leak mode, tablist weights, and player role assignments.
• Expanded 36-slot role picker with presets for Staff (Admin, Moderator, Member) and Combat classes (Tank, Scout, DPS, Healer, Runner, Hunter), plus custom chat input.

QWorlds Integration

• Server Network Hub: Running /qt gui while QWorlds is installed opens a shared dashboard connecting both plugins.
• Queue Synchronization: Allows QWorlds event queues to assign incoming players to QTeams squads automatically upon entry.

Installation

1. Place QTeams-1.0.0.jar into your server's plugins/ directory.
2. Ensure your server runs Paper or Purpur 1.20 or newer.
3. Start or restart your server to generate plugins/QTeams/teams.yml.
4. (Optional) Install QWorlds to enable the shared network hub and automated queue routing.
