BPS Premium 21.0.26

• Skin Rendering: The issue with loading and rendering skins has been fixed for versions 1.8.26.1 and later.

• This is a "Phase 1" transition update to provide our users with immediate access to the latest Minecraft versions. We are currently preparing a follow-up update (Phase 2) to fully polish compatibility, optimize performance, and ensure absolute stability across all server implementations

• Error fixed: Invalid JSON: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setStrictness(Strictness.LENIENT) to accept malformed JSON on line 2, column 2, path $
  See https://github.com/google/gson/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md#malformed-json

• Groups and Ranks: You can now create custom groups (e.g., User, VIP, Admin) and decide exactly which commands each group sees.
• Smart Inheritance: Save time by having a VIP group automatically inherit permissions from the User group.
• Selective Blocking: Want to allow /warp but hide /warp admin? You can now use "negations" (!route) to hide specific sub-commands easily.
• Native Experience: Filtering is so seamless that players will feel as though blocked commands simply do not exist on the server.

• F3 Menu Branding: You can now change the text that appears in the upper-left corner (Server Brand) to your server's name or a custom message.
• Modern Colors: Full support for gradients and modern styles (MiniMessage) to make your brand look incredible.

• New Caching System: We have rewritten how avatar images are stored so that the server consumes fewer resources and loads everything instantly.
• Image Configuration: You now have an avatarCache.yml file to adjust memory settings to your liking.
• Automatic Text Adjustment: Names in Avatar mode are now automatically shortened to prevent the design from breaking or jumping to a new line.

• Smart Configurations: Forget about deleting files with every update! The plugin now automatically detects changes, adds new options, and removes old ones while keeping your current settings.
• Improved Security: We’ve implemented a new, faster, and more stable licensing system.
• Discord Integration: We have updated our connection with ArtzStudio-BOT for better synchronization.

• Goodbye ProtocolLib: We have officially migrated our core engine to PacketEvents API.
• Efficiency: BPS Premium now utilizes PacketEvents for more efficient and native performance, reducing external dependency issues on modern versions.
