New Features & Enhancements

Global & Per-Player Prefix/Suffix Toggles

• Highly Custom Visibility: Added advanced toggles allowing you to turn team prefixes and suffixes on or off completely, either one at a time or all at once, and globally (everyone) or for individual players.
• New Toggle Subcommands:
  • /teamadmin toggle prefix [everyone|player] [on|off]
  • /teamadmin toggle suffix [everyone|player] [on|off]
  • /teamadmin toggle all [everyone|player] [on|off]
• Persistent Storage: Per-player settings are saved in your plugin configuration (disabled-prefixes and disabled-suffixes) so settings survive server reloads.
• Smart Backwards Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with and falls back to your legacy visuals.prefix-mode config state.
• Keep Placeholders Working: All PlaceholderAPI placeholders (like %coreteams_prefix% and %coreteams_prefix_modern%) continue to function normally, regardless of active toggle states!

Curated Soft Color Palettes

• Redesigned the entire color system to move away from generic bright/saturated colors. CoreTeams now utilizes a premium, professional soft palette:
  • Mint Emerald (#88D49E): A soft, premium success indicator.
  • Soft Coral Red (#FF8080): An eye-pleasing, modern error/restriction highlight.
  • Steel Slate (#94A3B8): Sleek accent/information color.
  • Cool Clean White (#F1F5F9): High-end readable titles.
  • Sleek Separators (#475569): Subtle dividers.

Interactive Help Menus (Massive UX Upgrade)

• Rebuilt /team help and /teamadmin help to make the plugin incredibly easy and intuitive to use:
  • Descriptive Tooltips: Hovering over any command displays a sleek description card showing what it does.
  • Dynamic Clicking: Click absolute commands (like /ta reload, /team leave, or /ta gui) to execute them instantly. Click parameterized commands (like /team invite, /team join, or /ta setcolor) to automatically suggest and pre-fill them directly in your chat box!

---

Technical Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Refined Render Logic: Rebuilt TeamManager.updateTab and chat AsyncChatEvent render pipelines to dynamically apply prefixes and suffixes selectively depending on toggle configuration.
• Command Completer expansions: Full tab completions have been added for all new toggle variants, dynamically suggesting prefix, suffix, all, everyone, online players, and on/off settings.
