❤️ LifeHeartsPro v2.4.1 Update

A new LifeHeartsPro update is here! 🚀
Version 2.4.1 focuses on giving server owners more customization, better visual feedback, and easier control over how player lives are displayed.

This update adds a brand-new ActionBar heart display mode, a new admin command, improved configuration options, updated language files, and an optional update checker.

✨ What’s New?

❤️ New ActionBar Heart Mode

You can now choose how lives should be shown in the ActionBar.

There are two available modes:

display
heart

display Mode

This is the classic display style.
It shows the player’s lives as a number.

Example:

❤ Lives: 5 | Team: Alpha

heart Mode

This new mode shows lives as actual hearts.
Red hearts show remaining lives, while gray hearts show missing lives.

Example:

❤❤❤♡♡ | Team: Alpha

This makes the life system feel much more visual and easier to understand during gameplay. ❤️

🛠️ New Admin Command

A new command has been added to change the ActionBar mode directly in-game:

/lifeheartspro heartmode <display|heart>

With this command, admins can quickly switch between the classic display mode and the new heart-based mode without manually editing the config.

The selected mode is saved automatically and stays active after a server restart. ✅

🎨 More ActionBar Customization

The ActionBar system is now much more customizable.

New config options allow you to change the symbols, formats, and display style:

actionbar:
  mode: display
  heart-symbol: "❤"
  gray-heart-symbol: "❤"
  display-format: "&c❤ &fLives: &a%lives% &c❤ &8| &bTeam: &f%team%"
  heart-format: "&c%red_hearts%&7%gray_hearts% &8| &bTeam: &f%team%"

You can now customize how the ActionBar looks for your server and match it with your own style, theme, or gamemode.

🧩 New Placeholders

Several new placeholders were added for the ActionBar system:

%red_hearts%
%gray_hearts%

These placeholders give server owners more freedom when creating custom ActionBar layouts.

For example, you can show lives as a number, as hearts, or combine both styles.

🔔 Optional Update Checker

LifeHeartsPro now includes an optional update checker.

It can check whether a newer plugin version is available and notify admins with the permission:

lifehearts.admin

The update checker is disabled by default and can be enabled in the config:

update-checker:
  enabled: false

This gives server owners full control over whether they want update notifications or not. 📢

🌍 Improved Language Files

The German and English language files have been improved.

The plugin prefix has also been updated to:

LifeHeartsPro

This makes plugin messages cleaner, more consistent, and more professional.

⚙️ Improved Config Structure

The configuration has been improved and prepared for the new features.

New config values are added more cleanly, and the default configuration now contains better structure and comments.

This makes it easier for server owners to understand and customize the plugin.
