✨ About the Project
I built this plugin after realizing there wasn’t a version that supported the latest updates — and since I needed it for my SMP, I decided to make one myself.
If you enjoy it and want to support future updates,
consider leaving a token of appreciation — it helps the crystal glow brighter.

Gradient Support — Create stunning, glowing color transitions.
Adventure API Integration — Powered by Minecraft’s modern text engine.
Effortless to Use — Type your format in anvils — no commands required.
