## Key Features & Why You Should Download It<\/p>\n
* **Automated Connection Filtering:** Automatically restricts access to Bedrock Edition players by identifying
\nconnection types via the Floodgate API. This removes the need for manual whitelisting.
\n* **Java Admin Exemptions:** Allows specific Java Edition accounts (such as staff or developers) to bypass the restriction via the `exempt-java-players` list in the configuration.
\n* **Minimal Overhead:** Built to be lightweight, ensuring minimal impact on your server’s performance. Perfect for small to medium-sized survival, semi-vanilla, or even large public servers that just need bedrock only functionality.
\n* **Customize Plugin Messages:** Customize all BedrockOnly messages completely on `messages.yml`! Uses MiniMessage so you can have gradients, hex, clickable text and more! No more ugly \u00a7 color codes! MiniMessage formatter: https:\/\/webui.advntr.dev\/
\n* **Blocked Java player logger:** Shows in your console who is not excempted or not bedrock player that is trying to join your server.
\n* **Modern Server Support:** Built specifically for the latest **PaperMC 1.21+** versions and its forks, guaranteeing up-to-date performance and stability.
\n* **Open Source:** Developed under the **GNU General Public License v3.0**, allowing for transparency and community contributions.<\/p>\n
