CraftersStaff v1.8 — Persistent Vanish & UX Improvements

---

✨ New Features

• Added /unfreeze command to unfreeze players directly.
• Persistent Vanish System — Vanish state now persists when disabling Staff Mode.
  • New vanish.persist-on-staff-disable option (default: true).
  • New vanish.auto-enable-on-staff-disable option (default: false).
• Proxy Bridge Plugin — New CraftersStaff-Proxy for Velocity, BungeeCord and Waterfall.
  • New proxy-config.yml with storage modes (LOCAL/MYSQL), sync settings and debug mode.
  • Staff state (staff mode, vanish, freeze) now persists on server switch.
  • Network-wide freeze notifications with server name: [Freeze] [ServerName] Player has been frozen by Staff.
  • Separate local and network freeze notification messages (staff-notify-freeze-network, staff-notify-unfreeze-network).
• Ban-on-quit system — Frozen players who disconnect are automatically banned via a configurable console command.
• Self-action prevention — /freeze, /unfreeze, /report and /note can no longer be used on yourself.
• Freeze state validation — Freezing an already frozen player shows an already frozen message. Unfreezing an unfrozen player shows a not frozen message.
• New freeze.still-frozen message shown to players attempting to rejoin while still frozen.

🔧 Changes

• Improved Player List Menu — Click on any player head to instantly open the quick actions menu. Removed complex Shift+Click combinations for better UX.
• Simplified freeze chat — /freeze <player> [message] now sends messages directly to the frozen player.
• Discord link is now embedded directly in the freeze message via lang/messages.yml instead of a separate config variable.
• Removed discord-message configuration variables from the freeze system for a cleaner setup.
• Freeze notifications now properly distinguish between staff and frozen player messages:
  • Staff see: [Freeze] > Player has been frozen by Staff
  • Frozen player sees: [Freeze] > You have been frozen by Staff
• Improved freeze chat format: [Freeze] Staff > message.
• Enhanced freeze command help: /freeze <player> [message].
• Better permission handling in the player actions menu.
• Code optimization in ConfigManager with default fallback values.
• Version updated to 1.8 across all components.
