LagXpert v2.4 - Action Bar Notifications Update

🎯 New Features

Action Bar Messages

• Restriction messages now appear in the action bar instead of chat spam
• Clean, non-intrusive notifications when you try to place blocks above limits
• Messages automatically disappear after a few seconds

Enhanced User Experience

• Shorter cooldowns for action bar messages (5 seconds instead of 15)
• Compact message format optimized for action bar display
• Fallback system - if action bar fails, messages still appear in chat

⚙️ Configuration Options

New Settings in messages.yml

delivery:
  restrictions:
    method: "actionbar"  # Options: "chat", "actionbar", "both"
    cooldown: 5          # Seconds between messages

Available Methods:

• "chat" - Traditional chat messages (old behavior)
• "actionbar" - Action bar only (new default)
• "both" - Send to both chat and action bar

Message Customization

• All restriction messages now have short versions for action bar
• You can still customize both long and short message formats
• No configuration changes required - works with existing setups

🔧 What This Means for You

For Players

• Less chat spam when building near limits
• Cleaner interface with subtle notifications
• Same functionality - all limits work exactly the same

For Server Admins

• Reduced chat noise in logs and screenshots
• Better user experience for builders
• Fully configurable - switch back to chat if preferred

🐛 Bug Fixes

Block Limit Issues Resolved

• Fixed off-by-one error - Players can now place the full configured amount of blocks
  • Previously: Limit of 10 only allowed 9 blocks
  • Now: Limit of 10 correctly allows 10 blocks
• Fixed colored shulker boxes - All 16 colored shulker box variants are now properly limited
  • Previously: Only purple shulker boxes were detected
  • Now: All colored shulker boxes count toward the same limit

Affected Blocks

• TNT, Hoppers, Pistons - No longer stop 1 block short of limit
• All Shulker Boxes - White, Orange, Magenta, Light Blue, Yellow, Lime, Pink, Gray, Light Gray, Cyan, Purple, Blue, Brown, Green, Red, Black

🔒 Privacy & Permissions

Alert Privacy System

• Alert filtering by permissions - Only players with permission receive limit alerts
• No more base location reveals - Prevents accidental discovery of hidden builds
• Configurable alert access - Admins can control who sees what alerts

Custom Limit Permissions

• Per-player custom limits - Set different limits for different players/ranks
• Permission-based limits - Use permissions like lagxpert.limits.hoppers.25
• Priority system - Bypass > Custom limit > Default limit

lagxpert.alerts.blocks        - Receive block limit alerts only
lagxpert.limits.hoppers.15    - Allow 15 hoppers instead of default
lagxpert.limits.mobs.50       - Allow 50 mobs instead of default
