Message formatting

eZProtector sends user-facing messages through Paper's Adventure API. Configuration messages support MiniMessage, including RGB colors and gradients:

hidden-syntaxes:
  error-message: "<gradient:#17B4E6:#5555FF><bold>eZProtector</bold></gradient> <white>That command syntax is forbidden!"

The default message-format: auto setting also keeps existing legacy & color-code messages working. Each individual message should use either MiniMessage or legacy formatting, not both. Set message-format to minimessage or legacy to enforce one format globally.

When PlaceholderAPI is installed, ordinary %placeholder% values remain supported. In MiniMessage values, <papi:placeholder_name> is also available and safely converts legacy-formatted expansion output into an Adventure component; for example, <papi:luckperms_prefix>.

Tab-completion filtering

Modern clients receive top-level command names through Brigadier and request some argument suggestions from the server separately. eZProtector filters both paths. ezprotector.bypass.command.tabcomplete bypasses all filtering; ezprotector.bypass.command.tabcomplete.<command> bypasses one command, including its namespaced form.
