Improvements

• Implements numerous efficiency optimizations
  • Constructs a JSON template once per message during initialization instead of constructing every time the message executes
  • Expands all placeholders in the entire JSON template instead of per field
  • Utilizes the correct String replace method, replace instead of replaceAll for literal replacement, completely eliminating the overhead of creating Regex/Pattern objects
• Ensures execution pools are isolated and thread safe
• Integrates a self-cleaning Guava cache to prevent data accumulation on long-running/high-volume servers
• Ensures all threads are shutdown gracefully when the plugin is disabled
• Adds optional anonymous metrics gathering via bStats

Development

• Migrates from Maven to Gradle
• Refactors the Message class for better maintainability
  • Introduces the HandlingService and EmbedUtil classes for greater separation of concerns and closer adherence of the single responsibility principle
  • Breaks methods up to reduce their sizes for better readability
• Eliminates the use of two nested lists (lists of lists) by utilizing small efficient record classes
