DSMP-ESS | Plugin Overview

DSMP-ESS is a central utility and essentials plugin tailored for the DeepslateSMP Minecraft server. It focuses on integrating multiple APIs to provide a seamless, high-performance experience with modern visual styling.

🚀 Key Features

1. Dynamic Tablist & Visuals

Modern Branding: Displays a customizable server name using MiniMessage gradients and bold styling in the Tablist header.
Real-time Performance: Shows live TPS (Ticks Per Second) from the Spark API in the footer.
Player Identity: Synchronizes player names in the list with LuckPerms prefixes and custom metadata colors. It also displays a special "Economy Team" tag.
Activity Monitoring: Sends automated Action Bar updates using the Plan API to show current player activity groups.

2. Intelligent Systems

Adaptive Join Messages: Greets players with a welcome message that conditionally displays their protocol version (ViaVersion) and current server population. It hides empty data to maintain a clean UI.
Automatic Diagnostic Audits: Every time a player joins, the plugin verifies that all required PlaceholderAPI (PAPI) extensions (LuckPerms, ViaVersion, etc.) are installed and warns administrators if anything is missing.

3. Integrated Command Suite

/ping: Instant latency check for players.
/tps: Detailed server performance metrics across various time intervals.
/dc / /discord: Interactive, clickable chat links with hover effects to join the community.
/about: Displays current plugin version and developer credits for QuatschStudio Games.

4. Custom Chat Formatting

Utilizes a modern AsyncChatEvent renderer to inject group-specific colors and prefixes directly into the chat, ensuring a consistent aesthetic across the server.
