🧩 Perfect Messages v1.0.4 — Visual Power & Smooth Control

✨ New Features

• 🖼️ Image Support in Messages You can now insert custom 128×128 images at the beginning of messages:

  /perfectmessage @a "pic.png &#5b50d4Hello, %player_name%!"
  

  ▫️ Images are stored in mods/pm/images/ — the folder is automatically created on launch. ▫️ Works perfectly with multiline messages and aligns vertically.

• ⌨️ Customizable Key Binding The message log window can now be toggled via Settings → Controls → PM: Toggle Message Log. Default key: N (you can now freely change it — it works correctly).

• 💬 Command Rename The main command is now:

  /perfectmessage
  

  (replaces /showmessage in previous versions)
