Thank you all for the feedback and bug reports — more updates coming soon

accidentally removed gui when adding staff gui so i had to rebuild it sorry for the screw up

When breaking a collector in creative it would remove block but would still show collector and hologram would also stay so to fix this
1. made every vanilla action follow plugin logic
2. if block was broken in creative or survival it will automatically replace the block and give a error message that states "collectors cannot be broken"

This update adds powerful new staff management tools and improves overall collector organization.

New Features:
✔ /collector show
✔ /collector show <player>
✔ Player head collector browser GUI
✔ Collector inspection GUI
✔ Click-to-teleport collectors
✔ Staff-friendly management system

Storage Improvements:
✔ New player-based collector storage
✔ Separated items.yml system
✔ Cleaner and more scalable data structure
✔ Better long-term performance

This update makes managing large economy and skyblock servers significantly easier while keeping the plugin lightweight and optimized.

This update completely overhauls the collector data system for better organization, cleaner storage, and improved long-term performance.

Changes:
✔ Player-based collector storage
✔ New separated items.yml system
✔ Cleaner and more optimized data saving
✔ Improved collector persistence
✔ Better scalability for large servers
✔ Reduced YAML clutter from massive item storage
✔ Improved autosaving reliability

New Storage Format:
Collectors are now grouped under player UUIDs instead of raw coordinates, making data management significantly easier for server owners.

Item storage has also been separated into its own file to prevent oversized data.yml files on large economy servers.

This update is fully focused on performance, organization, and future scalability.

This update focuses heavily on:

• performance
• stability
• modern hologram support
• cleaner architecture
• large-server optimization

NEW FEATURES​

✔ Native Paper Holograms​

ChunkCollector now supports fully standalone Paper holograms using modern TextDisplay entities.

No hologram plugins required.

Benefits:

• Better performance
• Cleaner visuals
• Lower overhead
• Easier setup
• Future-proof support

Recommended mode:

hologram-mode: PAPER

✔ Compact Number Formatting​

Collector values now display using modern compact formatting.

Examples:

• 1.2k
• 6.4mil
• 1.5b
• 2.3t

Cleaner economy visuals for larger servers.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS​

✔ Async MySQL Saving​

Database saves now run asynchronously to reduce server lag.

✔ Incremental Database Saving​

Collectors now save individually instead of rewriting the full database every save.

Massively improves:

• scalability
• database efficiency
• TPS stability

🛠 STORAGE IMPROVEMENTS​

✔ Full MySQL Support​

Added full MySQL storage support with:

• automatic table creation
• async saving
• optimized persistence

✔ Optimized Save Pipeline​

Improved collector save handling for:

• larger servers
• heavy automation setups
• massive collector networks

HOLOGRAM IMPROVEMENTS​

✔ Cleaner Hologram Architecture​

Removed unstable CMI hologram handling.

Now supports:

• Native Paper holograms
• DecentHolograms

This results in:

• less console spam
• fewer compatibility issues
• easier setup
• more reliable behavior

CONFIG IMPROVEMENTS​

Added:

hologram-mode:
Modes:
