GracePlugin

GracePlugin is a comprehensive and highly customizable grace period plugin for your Minecraft server. It allows you to create a safe environment for your players at the beginning of the game, with per-world configuration, region protection, and a wide range of flags to control player actions. This update, "The Control Update," introduces new features that give you even more control over the grace period and protected regions.

## Core Systems and Features

*   **Grace Period:** The core feature of the plugin, the grace period is a configurable amount of time at the beginning of the game where PvP and other actions are disabled. The grace period can be started automatically when the server starts, or manually by an admin.
*   **Region Protection:** You can create protected regions, or "safe zones," where you can control player actions with a high degree of granularity. Each region can have its own set of flags to enable or disable specific actions.
*   **Per-World Configuration:** You can configure the grace period on a per-world basis, allowing you to have different grace period durations, or disable it entirely, in specific worlds.
*   **Boss Bar Countdown:** A customizable boss bar is displayed to all players during the grace period, showing the time remaining.
