New Additions

• New display group system: nametags can now be split into multiple configurable groups, each with its own position, scale, background and visibility rules.
• TEXT, ITEM and BLOCK displays: nametags are no longer limited to text. You can now show items and blocks above players.
• Per-line conditions: individual text lines can now appear only when specific conditions are met.
• Display animations: add effects such as rotate, bob, pulse scale, wiggle and orbit to text, item and block displays.
• Glow system: item and block displays can now use fixed colors, rainbow effects, gradients and reusable glow presets.
• New glow commands: manage glow overrides in-game with commands such as /unt glow fixed, /unt glow rainbow, /unt glow gradient, /unt glow animation and /unt glow clear.
• Per-player preferences: players can control whether they see other nametags, see their own nametag, or show their own nametag to others.
• Through-wall visibility modes: choose if nametags should stay visible through walls, become dimmed, or be hidden behind walls.
• Improved support for placeholders and cosmetic plugins, including PlaceholderAPI, MiniPlaceholders, Nexo, Oraxen, ItemsAdder and HMCCosmetics.

Main Changes From v1

• The old simple lines system has been replaced with the more powerful displayGroups system.
• Background, scale, vertical offset and billboard settings can now be configured per display group.
• Old modifier-style conditions have been simplified into the new when condition format.
• settings.yml now uses configVersion and is automatically migrated when possible.
• The plugin was internally reorganized to make future updates, API usage and platform-specific improvements easier to maintain.

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed incorrect vertical offset issues with multi-line and multi-group nametags.
• Improved display ordering, reducing cases where nametag rows could appear in the wrong order.
• Improved nametag visibility handling through walls.
• Fixed display animations not always updating correctly on the client.
• Improved /unt reload so settings, billboard options and nametag refreshes are applied more reliably.
• Cleaner YAML output with fewer unnecessary/null values.
• Improved handling for placeholder replacement values such as Yes and No.
• Improved height compensation for helmets and 3D cosmetics.
• Improved packet handling for smoother and more reliable nametag updates.

For Server Owners Updating From v1

• Check the new settings.yml carefully after updating.
• If you had custom nametag lines, they now belong inside displayGroups.
• If you used old conditional modifiers, update them to the new when format.
• After the first startup, check the console for migration messages or warnings.

In short: UnlimitedNameTags 2.0.0 is a huge upgrade focused on more customization, better control, item/block displays, animations, glow effects, per-player preferences and a stronger configuration system for modern Paper servers.
