We have fixed several bugs (Velocity)

🚀 xMotd-VS v1.0.4 - The BungeeCord & MiniMessage Update!

We are thrilled to announce a massive architectural update for xMotd-VS. This release brings full native support for BungeeCord networks and introduces modern text formatting capabilities!

✨ New Features

• BungeeCord Native Support: The plugin has been completely rewritten from the ground up to support the BungeeCord API. It now runs natively and smoothly on your BungeeCord proxy without requiring Velocity libraries.
• MiniMessage Support: Bring your server list to life! You can now use Kyori's MiniMessage formatting tags in your MOTDs, maintenance texts, and player hover samples.
  • Create beautiful gradients: <gradient:#ff0000:#ffff00>My Server</gradient>
  • Use animated effects like <rainbow> and modern color tags <red>, <aqua>.
• Legacy & Hex Color Compatibility: Don't worry about rewriting your old configs. The plugin fully retains support for classic ampersand colors (&c) and standard Hex codes (&#RRGGBB). Both formats can be mixed flawlessly!

🛠️ Improvements & Changes

• Smarter Text Centering: The auto-center math algorithm has been updated. It now ignores MiniMessage tags (like <gradient>) when calculating pixel width, ensuring your MOTD aligns perfectly in the server list every single time.
• Optimized Configuration System: Switched from external libraries to BungeeCord's native ConfigurationProvider, making the plugin much lighter and faster to load.
• Command Restructure: The command system has been rebuilt for BungeeCord (/xmotd reload, /xmotd maintenance <on|off>) with full Tab-Completion support.
• Update Checker: Now natively checks Modrinth API for new versions using the new BungeeCord scheduler.

📝 Configuration Notes

Your existing config.yml is 100% compatible with this update. No need to delete or reset anything. Just drop the new .jar into your BungeeCord plugins folder, add some <gradient> tags to your config.yml, and enjoy!

🚀 xMotd-VS v1.0.3 Update

The "All-in-One" Solution is here! We have transformed xMotd-VS into a complete suite for your Velocity Network. Now featuring a robust Maintenance System, Random Icons, and Smart Countdowns.

🌟 What's New?

🛡️ Advanced Maintenance Mode

No more editing configs manually when you need to close the server!

• Command: /xmotd maintenance <on|off>
• Smart Override: Automatically changes your MOTD, Server Icon, and even the Version Text (e.g., "⚠ Maintenance") to hide the real player count.
• Permission: xmotdvs.command.maintenance

🖼️ Random Icons (Multi-Favicon)

• Drop your 64x64 .png images into the /plugins/xMotd-VS/icons/ folder.
• The plugin will randomly select a different icon every time a player refreshes their server list!

⏳ Event Countdown System

• New placeholder: %countdown_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM%
• Example: %countdown_2026_01_01_12_00% will display: 30d 5h 10m (or "NOW!" if the date has passed).
• Perfect for announcing SOTW, events, or updates.

🔔 Update Checker & Metrics

• Modrinth Integration: Admins get notified in-game if a new version is available.
• bStats: Added anonymous metrics to help us track plugin usage.
