PerfChat - 25 features & Cross-Server v1.0.16

Bug fixes:
• Spaces in chat-format are preserved again (e.g. between rank/prefix and player name)

New features:
• Global chat can sync across linked servers when Redis is enabled
• Cross-server messages use a separate network-chat-format with a server tag

Code:

# plugins/PerfChat/config.yml — merge (config-version: 31):
redis:
  enabled: true
  server-id: survival
  features:
    global-chat-sync: true

# plugins/PerfChat/formats.yml — add:
network-chat-format: "<#94A3B8>[{server}]</#94A3B8> {rank} {player} : {message}"

New features:
• The plugin is now fully cross-server compatible. (If you find a bug, please report it on discord!)

Code:

# plugins/PerfChat/config.yml — merge (unique server-id per backend, shared MySQL recommended):
config-version: 30

• Public chat shows your PerfGradients name style when that plugin is installed

Bug fixes:
• Scheduled chat and bossbar announcements work with min-players 0 or 1 on small servers
• First automatic announcement runs after startup-delay instead of waiting a full interval
• min-players now checks online players instead of only who would receive the message

New features:
• /ignoreall toggles blocking all private messages on and off
• /unignoreall removed — use /ignoreall again to allow PMs

Bug fixes:
• Private message notification sounds and @mention alerts (sound, title, actionbar) work again for normal players; two permissions were incorrectly granted to everyone by default, which made the plugin skip those features
• Mention handling no longer runs a redundant extra pattern check that could block notifications after a valid @ match

New features:
• When the client sends chat tab completion (non-command buffer), suggestions after @ list online players (respecting vanish/spectator visibility rules)

Improvements:
• Permission descriptions for “ignore PM sound” and “ignore mentions” clarify that they opt out of those effects when explicitly granted

Bug fixes:
• /chatsettings GUI: missing button definitions from older chatsettings-gui.yml are merged from the built-in defaults when the menu opens so PM sound, mentions, public chat, and block-PM toggles work instead of only staff rows
• Mention alerts (sound / actionbar / title per config) are delivered even when the player has public chat hidden, so @mentions still notify them
• Command spy filter-players now lists players whose commands are not shown to spies (e.g. admins); empty list means no player filter (previous behavior was inverted)
• Inventory drag on the chat settings GUI is blocked so buttons stay reliable

New features:
• Optional PM sender sound (features.msg.sender-sound) when enabled; respects the PM sound preference and perfchat.ignore.msgsound

Improvements:
• Chat settings clicks use the top inventory holder explicitly; commandspy config comments describe filter-commands and filter-players correctly

Config:
• config-version 27 adds features.msg.sender-sound on upgrade when missing

New features:
• Added a built-in update checker to all Perf plugins

Improvements:
• New config option: update-checker.enabled: true (enabled by default)

Improvements:
• Optional ad/poll.enabled in config.yml; when polls/ads are disabled, PerfChat does not register /ad or /poll so another plugin can own those commands
• Removed duplicate commands.enabled switches for poll, vote, perfpolls, ad, perfad, and perfdeathmessages; use polls.enabled, ad.enabled, and deathmessages.yml instead
