BBAds - Enhance Player Engagement with Dynamic BossBar Messages

BBAds is a Minecraft plugin designed to enhance player engagement by displaying dynamic information in the BossBar. This plugin offers a range of features to keep players informed and entertained, improving the overall server experience.

Key Features:

• Server Advertisements: Automatically rotates predefined messages from the config.yml file. This allows you to display important server information to all players.
• Player Advertisements: Players with the appropriate permission can display custom messages in the BossBar for a limited time.
• Administrative Control: Enable/disable server ads, mute abusive players, and reload the configuration without restarting the server.
• Mute System: Allows administrators to prevent specific players from sending messages to the BossBar.
• Curse Word Filter: Filters unwanted words and phrases using regular expressions defined in the regex.yml file.
• Logging: Records all messages sent to the BossBar in a log file for moderation and analysis purposes.
