**What’s New in Version 1.1.0:**
\n– Switched configuration to YAML (`config.yml`) for easier editing and more flexibility
\n– Config auto-update: After plugin updates, your config.yml is automatically merged with the latest default config. New options are added, your values are preserved, and the layout (including comments) always matches the latest default.
\n– All messages (including toggle messages for \/sctoggle) are now fully configurable and translatable via config.yml.
\n– Added support for <#RRGGBB> hex colors, &-codes, and \u00a7-codes in all configurable messages (prefix, format, toggle, etc.)
\n– Discord integration: Staff chat can now be linked with a Discord channel (bi-directional)
\n– Discord messages in Minecraft are clearly marked as `[STAFF][D]` and support formatting
\n– Fixed: Discord messages are now reliably shown in Minecraft (requires Discord MESSAGE_CONTENT intent)
\n– Many internal code cleanups and bugfixes<\/p>\n
