Excellent plugin, I loved all its features. I would only buy the premium version if it had Folia compatibility.

Thank you for your review !
I'll look into it for future updates. Since I've never developed a plugin for Folia before, I'll need to learn more about how it works and evaluate the changes required.

Thanks for the suggestion.
