🎉 gChat v2.6.0 Update: Smart Moderation and New Customizations!

In this update, we've added a ton of new tools for server administrators and significantly improved the plugin's stability.

🚀 What's New:

• Advanced Chat Filter (Regex): You can now use regular expressions! Rulebreakers can no longer bypass the swear and advertisement filter by inserting dots or spaces (e.g., i.d.i.o.t).
• Spam Blocker: The plugin now automatically prevents players from sending the exact same message multiple times in a row.
• Smart Death Messages: Configure unique texts depending on the cause of death (e.g., fell into lava, suffered fall damage, burned, or fell into the void).
• Join/Quit by Group: Join and quit messages can now be customized individually for each LuckPerms group (with full support for HEX colors and gradients).
• Admin Notifications: The plugin will now check for new updates on Modrinth and politely notify administrators upon joining the server.

🐛 Main Fixes:

• Resolved errors and server crashes when showcasing items in chat ([item]).
• Player settings (toggling PMs, chat colors) no longer reset when the server is restarted or stopped.
• Optimized memory usage for long-running servers.

⚠️ Update Warning!

New parameters have been added to the configuration. For the new features to work, add the following lines to your config.yml (or delete the old file to let it regenerate automatically):

• The filter.regex-enabled and filter.regex-patterns sections
• The message-cooldown.block-duplicates option
• The expanded death-messages.causes section
• The new structure for join-messages and quit-messages

(Check the default config.yml inside the plugin archive for exact formatting examples).
