⚙️ Configuration Highlights

• Boost definitions: Add or edit boosts in boosts.yml with effects, duration, cooldown, cost, and permissions. See docs/boosts.md for a full reference.
• Command hooks: Add commands.enable, commands.disable, or commands.toggle per boost to run console commands when boosts turn on/off (supports {player}, {displayname}, and {boost} placeholders).
• GUI layout: Customize title, size, filler, lore templates, and per-boost slot positions in gui.yml.
• Limits: Clamp amplifier and duration ranges for balance in limits.yml.
• World rules: Use worlds.allow-list / worlds.deny-list to control where boosts apply in worlds.yml.
• Region & World Overrides: Use boosts.yml to define per-world or per-region settings. If WorldGuard is installed, region overrides are applied automatically using region IDs.
• Behavior toggles: Replace active boosts, reapply on join, keep on death, or refund failed activations in settings.yml.
• Economy: Enable Vault costs with economy.enabled and economy.vault in economy.yml.

🌍 WorldGuard Integration & Region Overrides

• EzBoost automatically detects WorldGuard if present and applies region-based overrides for boosts.
• No hard dependency: If WorldGuard is not installed, region overrides are ignored.
• Use region IDs from WorldGuard in your boosts.yml to customize boost behavior per region.
• See docs/overrides.md for syntax and examples.

✅ Recommended Use Cases

• Rank perks: Grant unique boosts per rank using per-boost permissions.
• Crates & events: Distribute boost tokens as rewards.
• Economy sinks: Add costs to balance late-game progression.
• World/region gating: Enable or disable boosts only in specific worlds or WorldGuard regions.
