Essentials Menu v3.1.0: The Social & Moderation Update!

Welcome to Version 3.1.0! This update transforms the Essentials Menu from a simple admin tool into a fully-fledged server management powerhouse. We've introduced complete chat formatting, advanced player-to-player social features, a strict automated moderation system, and highly requested utility commands.

Here is everything new in the v3.1.0 update:

Social & Chat Systems

• Rank & Chat Formatting: Added a complete Rank system (Owner, Admin, Mod, MVP, VIP, Member). Chat is now intercepted and beautifully formatted with rank prefixes and colors!
• Private Messaging: Players can now instantly DM each other using the UI or the new !msg command.
• Mailbox System: Added an offline Mail system! Players can send mail to others, and recipients will get an unread mail notification the next time they join the server.
• Custom Nicknames: Players can now set custom nicknames that display in chat and across menus.

Teleportation & Travel

• TPA System: Players can now send Teleport Requests to other players! The target receives a notification and has 60 seconds to Accept or Deny.
• Multi-Home Expansion: The Personal Home system has been massively upgraded. Regular members can now set up to 3 homes, VIPs can set 5, and Admins can set 10!
• The !back Command: Teleported by mistake or died? You can now use !back (or the UI button) to instantly return to your previous location!

Advanced Moderation

• Automated Chat Filter: Admins can now add banned words to a filter. You can configure the filter to Censor (replace with ***), *Block* the message entirely, or Warn the player.
• Warning & Auto-Punish System: Added a formal warning system with history tracking. If a player reaches 3 warnings, they are auto-kicked. If they reach 5 warnings, they are automatically banned!
• Temporary Bans: The ban menu now supports timed bans (e.g., Ban for 7 days). Bans are actively tracked and expire automatically.
• World Border Enforcement: Admins can now set a world border radius. The background tick loop will safely push back any players who try to cross the limit! (Experiemental)

Quality of Life & Utilities

• Smart AFK System: Added an AFK tag. Players can toggle it manually with !afk, or the system will automatically mark them as [AFK] in chat if they don't move for 5 minutes. Moving automatically removes the tag!
• Server MOTD: Admins can now set a custom Message of the Day that broadcasts to players exactly when they log in.
• Starting Balance Configurator: Easily set a default starting cash balance for brand-new players joining your economy.
