• Added Spectator On Death (features.spectator-on-death) to move players into spectator mode after death.
• Added Ender Chest Item Limiter (features.ender-chest-item-limiter) with Item Limiter-style GUI management and support for custom item matching (customModelData, displayName, potionType) to block specific items from being stored in ender chests.
• Added persistent social data layer with SQLite-backed player preferences and player blocking storage.
• Added Folia-aware scheduler utility used for async/sync/repeating task safety.
• Added social/communication engine under /smp including PM/reply, mentions with notifications, URL formatting, social spy, chat/PM/mention toggles, player block/unblock/list, and command-level toggles/cooldowns from config.
• Added announcements engine with configurable interval and messages.
• Added teleport stack: /tpa, /tpahere, /tpaccept, /tpdeny, /spawn, /setspawn, /back, /tp, and /tphere, with configurable safety checks.
• Added persistent homes and warps systems with GUI navigation (/home, /homes, /sethome, /delhome, /warp, /warps, /setwarp, /delwarp).
• Added kits system with /kit, /kits, cooldown persistence, and first-join starter kit support.
• Added utility/admin command pack: /fly, /god, /speed, /repair, /giveitem, /workbench, /anvil, /ec, /invsee, and /clearinv.

Changed

• Bumped config version to 9 so new defaults and migrations are applied automatically.
• Registered standalone social commands /msg, /reply, and /socialspy while keeping /smp msg, /smp reply, and /smp socialspy available.
• Updated permission defaults so smp.msg and smp.reply now default to true (no OP required).
• Rebranded the plugin display name and user-facing branding to "Vanilla Core" across plugin.yml, runtime messages, logs, and documentation.
• Switched the admin command to /smp only and removed the /vanilla alias.
• Removed legacy vanillacore.* permission mapping and standardized permission checks on smp.* nodes.
• Upgraded /smp reload to support module-scoped hot reload targets: all, config, messages, menus, and features, with elapsed-time feedback and per-module failure reporting.
• Added /smp version with smp.version permission for quick in-game/admin version checks.
• Update checks now fetch the latest release version directly from Modrinth (vanillacorewastaken) while keeping CDN-backed remote feature-control and maintenance messaging.
• Split combat restrictions into separate features instead of one combined settings screen.
• Extended /ritual start to support runtime overrides: /ritual start [time] [color] with durations like 30s, 1m, 1h, 1d, and 1h30m, plus color tab completion.
• Added a full Ritual settings GUI in /smp menu (right-click Ritual) for duration, radius, particle color, start sound toggle, and end-effect toggles.
• Reworked Potion Bans config and GUI: removed ban-all/ban-tier2 keys and switched to per-effect tier entries (effect:tier1:tier2) with computed "Ban All Potions" behavior.
• Main menu pagination now clamps page bounds and keeps feature slots dedicated to features so overflow moves to later pages automatically.
• Removed the auto-generated messages.yml codebase-string-catalog section so messages.yml now contains only proper runtime message keys.
• Centralized feature card/menu text into messages.yml under feature-menus.* and moved Infinite Restock/Netherite GUI title and control labels to message keys.
• Updated docs to reflect runtime-only messages.yml keys and Ender Chest Item Limiter message keys.

Fixed

• MiniMessage Crash: Fixed an IllegalArgumentException crash by renaming camelCase tags ({configPath}, {maxLevel}, {customModelData}, etc.) to snake_case in code and config.
• Menu Interaction Bug: Fixed a bug where left-click and right-click actions on features failed in the main menu due to double-prefixing of the configuration path (e.g., features.features.ritual).
• Docs Styling: Stripped emojis from the documentation and injected scalable React-style SVG icons via CSS masking in the Docusaurus frontend for a sleek, professional UI.
• Documentation: Rewrote README.md to use human-friendly descriptions and fully documented missing features like Server Restarts, Mob Manager, Minimap Control, and ported AirCore features (TPA, Kits, Homes, Utility Commands, Social Systems).
