🔓 Offline Mode Server Support
Most bounty plugins render player skulls using Bukkit's offline player cache — which means skulls break the moment a player logs off, and offline-authenticated players never render at all.
This plugin fixes that properly:
- On every join, the player's skin texture (including SkinRestorer-injected skins) is cached directly into the local SQLite database
- Skulls are rendered from this texture cache — no dependency on whether the player is currently online
- Works out of the box with SkinRestorer — no extra configuration needed
