🎨 Major UI Redesign Update

🖥 Dashboard UI Redesign

The MysticNameTags dashboard has been significantly redesigned to provide a cleaner and more structured admin experience.

Improvements include

• improved overall panel layout
• tabs now sit naturally on top of the main content area instead of floating
• better spacing and panel hierarchy
• cleaner summary and quick-action sections
• improved readability for admin content
• more polished overall visual flow

This redesign makes the dashboard feel more like a built-in management panel instead of a set of disconnected UI blocks.

---

🏷 Tags UI Improvements

The main Tags UI has also been improved as part of the broader UI redesign work.

Changes include

• cleaner layout structure
• improved visual organization
• better spacing and presentation of tag-related information
• improved consistency with the rest of the MysticNameTags interface
• updated styling to better match the redesigned dashboard and modernized panel structure

These changes make browsing and selecting tags feel more polished and easier to understand.

---

The Owned Tags UI was also updated to better match the new design direction.

Improvements include

• more consistent panel styling
• improved layout readability
• better alignment with the updated Tags UI
• cleaner presentation of owned tag content
• stronger visual consistency across tag-related pages

This helps unify the player-facing tag experience across the mod.

---

📑 Improved Tab System

The dashboard tab system has been reworked for better behavior and presentation.

Changes

• replaced the older manual/fake tab approach with a cleaner tab-driven structure
• improved tab alignment and anchoring
• tabs now visually connect to the panel they control
• active tab content updates more cleanly

This results in a more stable and maintainable UI architecture.

🧠 Dashboard Behavior Improvements

Better Refresh Behavior

• selected tab remains in sync more reliably
• integration details refresh cleanly
• dynamic dashboard fields update more predictably

---

• debug snapshot actions
• reload and refresh actions

---

🌐 Language and Message System Changes

UI overrides in lang/ are no longer supported

MysticNameTags no longer supports directly modifying UI text by overriding UI-related content in the lang directory.

Old behavior

Previously, some users could customize UI-facing text by editing language-side UI override content.

New behavior

UI-related text is now managed through dedicated data files instead.

---

messages.json is now the source for language/UI keys

All standard language/message keys are now expected to be managed through:

messages.json

This centralizes message handling and makes the system easier to maintain moving forward.

---

howitworkspanel.json now controls the “How It Works” panel

The How It Works panel is no longer intended to be customized through language overrides.

It is now configured through:

howitworkspanel.json

This gives server owners a cleaner and more explicit way to customize that panel’s content.

---

⚠ Important update requirement for existing servers

Servers updating to v1.1.9 will need to regenerate their language/message files.

Required action

Regenerate the language/messages data after updating.

If this is not done, servers may experience:

• missing message keys
• broken UI text
• outdated panel content
• inconsistent dashboard text rendering

This is the most important upgrade note in this release.

---

⚙ Configuration / Content Structure Improvements

This release continues the push toward cleaner separation between:

• UI layout
• translatable messages
• configurable panel content
• integration diagnostics content

The result is a more maintainable configuration structure for both server owners and future development.

---

🛠 Internal Improvements

Dashboard UI architecture cleanup

The dashboard page structure has been cleaned up to better support future expansion.

Improved panel composition

The content areas now better support section-based and scrollable informational panels.

Better maintainability for future UI work

The new layout and tab structure provide a stronger base for future dashboard and tag UI expansion.

No nameplate rendering changes in this release

No nameplate rendering or nameplate behavior changes were made in v1.1.9.

---
