QuickChat - Folia support and Redis

Quickchat - Optimization Notes (Changelog)

✨ New Features

Redis Broadcast: The /say command is now sent across the entire network connected via Redis.

Native 1.21+ Support: Hex color detection has been rewritten. The plugin now natively supports 1.21, 1.22, and future versions without requiring additional patches. ⚙️ Optimizations (20k+ Users Performance)

Pre-Merged Format Cache: Eliminated the creation of HashMaps per second during chat peaks. Format retrieval is now instantaneous (O(1)). Static Regex: Hex color pattern compilation was removed from the main message flow, significantly reducing CPU usage.

Zero I/O (No Disk Reads): Private message (PM) sounds and formats are now cached in memory. No more reading from config.yml for every sent/received message. ️ Critical Fixes (Stability)

Thread Safety: PM managers (/reply, /spy) and the ignore system (/ignore) were rewritten using thread-safe collections (ConcurrentHashMap). This removes main-thread blocking and chat interruptions. O(1) Lookups: Checking if a user is ignored has been optimized from a slow list to a constant-time Set lookup.

Memory Leaks: Fixed an issue where SQLite left open connections (PreparedStatements) in memory during server shutdown. Bugfix: Fixed an issue where an admin using /say (Redis Broadcast) would send the message to all servers except the one it was executed from.
