Features
• Folia support – Runs on Folia region scheduling where applicable
• Public chat layout – formats.yml MiniMessage templates with reusable components (e.g. rank prefix via PlaceholderAPI), optional player-hover on the name, and chat-ranked-formats so the line format can differ by permission (first match wins; chat-format is the fallback)

• Private messaging – /msg, /reply, receive sound, /ignore stack with optional Redis ignore sync across backends
• Mentions – @ highlights with optional sound, actionbar, and title; per-player toggles via /chatping and /chatsettings

• Newbie chat – Optional rate limit for low playtime players
• Local chat – Optional radius-based public chat with a configurable global override prefix
• Staff chat – Dedicated channel (prefix or toggle); optional Redis staff-chat sync
• Moderation and UX – Global mute (/mutechat, /chatmute), /chatclear, per-player chat hide (/chattoggle), PM spy, command spy with command/player filters
• Rich chat – Click-to-/msg on names (configurable); optional clickable commands and whitelisted links (separate permissions); [item], [inv], [ec], [shulker], and custom bracket renders from renders.yml (permission-gated)
