v1.4.0 - The Immersion & Control Update!

This is a massive feature update that brings total control to server admins and makes the Nether restriction much more immersive and fun for players.

✨ New Features & Mechanics:

• Display Options (BossBar Integration): You now have total control over the UI! You can display the countdown using the traditional Action Bar, a brand new customizable BossBar (choose the color and style), both at the same time, or neither (if you solely rely on PlaceholderAPI).
• Dynamic Admin Commands: You no longer need to edit the config and reload just to adjust the timer. Manage the portal directly in-game:
  • /netherblocker open - Forcefully opens the Nether instantly.
  • /netherblocker add <minutes> - Adds time to the current countdown.
  • /netherblocker remove <minutes> - Removes time from the current countdown.
• Immersive Portal Effects: When a player tries to force their way into a sealed portal, the portal fights back! You can now enable:
  • Knockback: Pushes the player away from the portal frame.
  • Particles: Spawns visual effects (like flames or smoke) upon denial.
  • Potion Effects: Applies temporary debuffs (like Blindness or Nausea) for trying to cross.
  • (All effects are fully customizable and toggleable in the config).
• Multi-world Support: You can now specify exactly which worlds the plugin should affect. Perfect for servers that have separate Survival and Minigame worlds!

⚙️ Under-the-hood:

• Optimized code structure to handle the new BossBar and display toggles without impacting server performance.

⚠️ Important Note for Updating: Because this version introduces major additions like the BossBar, multi-world support, and effects, you MUST regenerate your config.yml. Please back up your current timer, delete the old config.yml file, and let the plugin generate the new one upon restarting!
