TotalXPRewards v1.0.2 - Optimization Update

🚀 Performance Optimizations

• Async Caching System:
  • Player XP data is now loaded asynchronously when a player joins, preventing main-thread lag.
  • XP updates during gameplay are handled instantly in-memory.
  • Data is saved asynchronously on player quit or server shutdown.
• Thread Safety: Database connections and write operations are now synchronized to ensure data integrity in asynchronous environments.

🎨 MiniMessage Support

• Rich Text Formatting: Added support for MiniMessage formatting.
  • Use RGB colors: <#ff0000>Red
  • Use Gradients: <gradient:red:blue>✨ Text</gradient>
  • Use Click events and Hover text in broadcasts.
• Backwards Compatibility: Standard legacy color codes (e.g., &a, &l) are still fully supported. You can mix both in your configuration!

💾 Database Improvements

• External Access Support: Added username and current_rank columns to the SQLite database.
• Automatic Migration: Existing databases are automatically updated on startup. This allows external apps (typ. Node.js) to easily query player ranks.

⚙️ Configuration Safety

• Config Versioning: Added config-version tracking. The plugin now automatically detects old configurations and safely applies necessary updates.
• Hybrid Color Support: Text formatting now supports both legacy color codes (&) and modern MiniMessage tags simultaneously (e.g., &bRank: <gradient:red:blue>...).
• Configurable Max Rank: The "Max Rank Reached" text is now fully customizable in lang.yml via the max-rank key.

🔧 Refactoring

• PlayerData Manager: Centralized data handling into a new [PlayerDataManager] class for cleaner and more maintainable code.
• Cache-First Logic: Commands (/totalxp set/get) now utilize the cache for online players, reducing unnecessary database queries.
