# Roadmap

PixelRTPPool is under active development. Below are the features planned for upcoming releases.

## Core Mechanics

### Permission-based Cooldowns
Allow server administrators to define hierarchical cooldowns using permission nodes.
*(Example: `pixelrtppool.cooldown.20` overrides the global 60-second config cooldown).*

### Region Profiles
Instead of manually typing out sounds, particles, and titles for every single region, create reusable "Profiles" in the config that regions can inherit from.

### World Whitelisting / Blacklisting
Add a configuration section to globally disable the plugin in specific worlds, ensuring players can't create artificial pools in the Nether or End if unintended.

## Integrations

### Native API Hooks (BetterRTP / SimpleRTP)
Instead of forcing the execution of a string-based command, hook directly into the Java APIs of popular RTP plugins to natively request a teleportation vector.

### Vault Economy Support
Allow pools to charge players money for utilizing the RTP pool, complete with insufficient funds messages.

## Visuals & Analytics

### BossBar Countdown Support
Supplement the existing ActionBars and Titles with a customizable, animated BossBar that drains as the countdown ticks closer to zero.

### Region Entry Animations
Trigger specific particle explosions or sound effects the exact moment a player steps into the pool boundary.

### bStats Metrics
Implement anonymous bStats tracking to monitor plugin adoption rates and server software versions.

### Modrinth Update Checker
Add an asynchronous startup task that checks Modrinth for a newer version of the plugin and alerts server administrators.

### Discord Webhook Logging
Optionally log player pool usage directly to a private Discord channel for administrative auditing.
