WindLaunch Plugin

The WindLaunch Plugin is the server-side counterpart of the WindLaunch Fabric client mod.
It enables a simple handshake system to let compatible clients know whether they are allowed to use the WindLaunch features on a given server.

🧩 Function

• Registers a Plugin Messaging Channel called windlaunch:handshake
• Listens for handshake messages from connected clients
• Sends back a one-byte response to allow the WindLaunch mod on the client
