• First-join message and a join-message toggle
• Minecraft 26.2 support (version check compares major.minor)
• New placeholders: kills, deaths, kdr, killstreak, max_killstreak, rank, rank_color,
  next_rank, progress, progress_bar, season, and per-board top_*

Changed

• config.yml reorganised and fully commented for easy setup
• README updated (features, commands, placeholders, toggles)

RankPlugin 1.2

RankPlugin 1.2.0

A full rewrite of the kill-points (PTS) system — faster, safer, and multi-language.

✨ Added

• Leaderboard — /rank top and %ranksystem_top_N_name% / %ranksystem_top_N_score% placeholders
• Admin point management — /rank set|add|take <player> <amount> and /reset, working on online & offline players
• Elo scoring mode — killing higher-rated players is worth more (points.mode: elo)
• Killstreak rewards — bonus points for kill streaks without dying
• Anti-farm — per-victim cooldown + optional same-IP (alt) protection
• MiniMessage messages — hex colours, gradients, hover/click
• Languages — en, ru, ua in an editable lang/ folder
• MySQL support alongside SQLite (drivers bundled — no extra installs)
• Tab-completion for every command

🔧 Changed

• Support extended to Minecraft 1.16 → latest (Paper & Spigot)
• All database access is now fully asynchronous (no main-thread lag)
• Auto-save interval + save on every kill (no progress lost on a crash)

🐛 Fixed

• SQLite driver is now bundled — DB connection no longer fails on some servers
• /rank & /rankscore are usable by regular players again
• Plugin now loads without PlaceholderAPI (softdepend)
• Fixed MySQL save crash and several NPEs on join / DB errors
