✨ New Gameplay Features

🏆 Holograms & Leaderboards (Seasons)

• Live Rankings: Full integration for DecentHolograms! You can now display the Top 5 clans based on Kills, Level, or Bank Balance directly at your spawn.
• Season System: Admins can now end a season using /clana endseason. The winning clan receives a customizable reward, and statistics are reset for the next competitive cycle.

🏰 Passive Base Effects (Upgrades)

• Strategic Advantages: Clans can now purchase permanent upgrades in the Clan Shop.
• Regeneration & Saturation: Once unlocked, all clan members automatically receive healing and saturation effects while standing within their protected base radius.

⚙️ Dynamic Rank System (Custom Permissions)

• Full Customization: A brand new GUI for Clan Leaders! You can now individually set permissions for every rank (Recruit, Member, Officer, Co-Leader). Decide exactly who is allowed to invite players, withdraw money, use the shop, or declare wars.

🛡️ Security & Administration

🗺️ WorldGuard Integration

• Region Protection: Clan bases can no longer be established within existing WorldGuard regions. This prevents players from "base-squatting" in spawn areas or other players' protected claims.
• Admin Bypass: Added the <kbd>vrxclans.admin.bypass</kbd> permission. Administrators with this node can ignore all clan protections to perform maintenance or enforce server rules.

⚡ Technical, Performance & Bugfixes (Click to expand)

• Silk-Touch Fix: Resolved an exploit where players could place and mine diamond ores repeatedly to farm clan quests.
• Inventory Safety: Fixed a critical "Async Inventory" crash. Clan Vaults are now safely cached via Base64 on the main thread before being saved to the database.
• GUI Refinement: Corrected all YAML indentation issues. Menus now load perfectly without missing items or alignment errors.
• Move-Event Optimization: Rewrote the player movement logic. The server now only performs coordinate calculations if a player is actually in the process of teleporting, drastically reducing idle CPU usage.
• Optimized Save Engine: The asynchronous saving logic for MySQL and SQLite has been refined to ensure zero TPS drops during high-frequency data writes.

⚠️ INSTALLATION NOTE > Please delete your old gui_default.yml, config.yml, de_DE.yml and en_US.yml before restarting your server. This allows the plugin to generate the new menu structures required for the Permission System and Base Upgrades.
