Thrilled to announce a complete, ground-up rewrite of PluginHiderPlus with the release of version 6.0.0.

This update is a huge comeback and has been built following strict, modern software engineering principles and fully verified using automated unit/integration test suites to ensure absolute stability, security, and performance.

What's New in v6.0.0:

• Native 1.21.11 & 26.1.2 Support: Fully compatible with modern Paper and Spigot versions, including Mojang's newest 2026 versioning scheme.
• Zero Dependencies: We have completely removed the dependency on ProtocolLib. The plugin is now entirely self-contained and lightweight, reducing server overhead.
• Modern HEX/RGB Color Support: Silently and natively supports modern HEX color codes (`&#FFFFFF`) inside blocked messages, bypass notifications, and custom replacements.
• Advanced Wildcard & Player Replacements:
  Use `%player%` in search/replacement fields to dynamically resolve player usernames.
  Use wildcards (`%0%`, `%1%`, `%2%`, etc.) to capture dynamic text from original plugin messages and safely transfer or reposition them inside your customized replacements (e.g. `"%0% joined %1%"` -> `"%1% [+] %0%"`).
• Instant Client-Side Refreshes: Reloading or disabling the plugin via `/ph` now instantly refreshes network handlers and forces online clients to rebuild their command suggestions and F3 brand displays (new feature) in real-time—no reconnects required.

*Note: Due to the structural changes, configurations from v5.x and below are not completely compatible. Please let the plugin generate a fresh, optimized config.yml on startup.

Support is now back and strictly focused on v6.0.0 and newer.
