🚀 What’s New

This update introduces powerful new customization tools, modern server features, and critical optimizations to make your authentication messages smarter and more dynamic than ever:

⏱️ Individual Action Delays: You can now pause between actions! Add - "wait: 20" (20 ticks = 1 second) to create timed sequences of messages, sounds, or commands.

🐉 BossBar Support: Display beautiful, temporary BossBars when a player logs in, registers, or leaves. Fully customizable colors and styles!

📱 Platform-Specific Messages (Geyser/Floodgate): Target Bedrock or Java players specifically by simply adding bedrock_only: true or java_only: true to your groups. Give your mobile players a unique welcome!

🎨 Full HEX Color Support: Say goodbye to simple colors. Use the &#RRGGBB format to bring modern, vibrant RGB colors to your messages and UI.

🔄 Smart Auto-Updating Config: Updating the .jar will no longer require deleting your configuration! The plugin now automatically injects new features into your config.yml without touching your custom edits.

🐛 Major Bug Fixes & Optimizations:

Fixed a bug where the [Bedrock] tag would break internal console commands (like Multiverse).

Fixed memory leaks causing ghost tasks when using the reload command.

Fixed global placeholders (like total online) breaking when used in HolographicDisplays.

Fixed %authmemessages_is_first_join% prematurely clearing upon login.
