[1.1.0] - "The Complete Edition"

This version represents a complete overhaul of the plugin, bundling all modern features and bug fixes into a single, stable release.

Added ✨

• Live Vote GUI! A brand new command /skipnight gui opens a real-time graphical interface showing the vote timer, current vote count, and player heads indicating who has and has not voted.
• Clickable Chat Messages! When a vote starts, a clickable message is now sent in chat, allowing players to vote instantly without typing a command.
• Full Multi-World Support! Votes are now handled independently for each world. A vote starting in one world will no longer block players in another from starting their own.
• Blacklisted Worlds! A new blacklisted-worlds list in config.yml allows administrators to completely disable the plugin in specific worlds.
• Persistent Statistics! Total and successful vote counts are now saved to config.yml, ensuring that your server's stats persist through restarts.
• Core Features: Includes the original voting system with /skipnight, automatic votes at night, voting by sleeping, and configurable requirements.

Changed ♻️

• Complete Code Refactor: The plugin's core logic has been rebuilt around a VoteSession class to cleanly manage per-world voting, improving stability and making future updates easier.
• Full Localization: All plugin messages, without exception, have been moved from the code into the config.yml file for complete customization and translation.
• Updated Plugin Manifest: The plugin.yml has been updated to include the new gui subcommand and its associated skipnight.gui permission.

Fixed 🐛

• Placeholder Fixes: Fixed critical bugs where the {prefix} and {percentage} placeholders were not being correctly replaced in chat announcements and clickable messages.
• Prefix Consistency: Fixed the original issue where the message prefix was not applied consistently across all plugin outputs.
• Backwards Compatibility: Fixed a compilation error on older Spigot versions by using the compatible world.getUID() method instead of world.getUniqueId().
