📋 CHANGELOG: DUCKTEAM (v1.7)

1. Color System Upgrade (Multi-stop Gradient)

• Linear to Multi-stop Transition: Replaced legacy system limited to 2 fixed color points (startColor/endColor).
• Dynamic Segments: New algorithm automatically divides text into segments based on provided Hex codes.
• Smooth Color Interpolation: Characters calculate local RGB linear interpolation between two closest color stops.
• Seamless Transitions: Perfectly seamless color blending across the entire string length.
• Static Hex Support: System falls back to a single-color format if only one Hex code is provided.

2. Storage Structure Changes

• Data Consolidation (teams.yml): Removed separate configuration keys for .startColor and .endColor.
• List-Based Storage (List): Stored data under a single .colors string list per team.
• Unlimited Capacity: File remembers an unlimited number of color codes while preserving exact input order.

3. /team color Command Enhancements

• Infinite Dynamic Syntax: Accepts as many color codes as you want, with a minimum of 1.
  • Old: /team color [team_name] [Start_Hex] [End_Hex] (Required exactly 2 codes).
  • New: /team color [team_name] [Hex1] [Hex2] [Hex3] [Hex4]...
• Backward Preset Compatibility: Maintained full functionality for all built-in color presets like VIP, PRO, WARRIOR, GALAXY.
• Array Auto-conversion: Automatically breaks presets into array lists to feed the new gradient engine.

4. User Experience & Tab-Completion Optimization

• Infinite Arguments Auto-complete: Tweaked Tab-completer logic from a fixed-length check to a dynamic check (args.length >= 3).
• Uninterrupted Suggestions: Players can continuously press Tab for 3rd, 4th, 5th+ color stop suggestions.

5. PlaceholderAPI Expansion & Robustness

• Centralized Data Fetching: Replaced isolated calls (getTeamStartColor/getTeamEndColor) with centralized plugin.getTeamColors() method.
• Fallback Mechanism: Handles old data versions that lack the new list format automatically.
• On-the-fly Conversion: Converts legacy structures into a 2-color array list immediately during runtime.
• Crash Prevention: Prevents white text glitched displays and NullPointerException crashes.
