Breaking / Infrastructure

• Spigot compatibility: compile target switched from Paper API to Spigot API. The plugin now runs on Spigot 1.21+ as well as Paper. Paper-only APIs replaced with Spigot-compatible equivalents throughout.
• Adventure removed: net.kyori.adventure / MiniMessage library dependency dropped. Replaced by a zero-dependency custom parser (see below).

Added

• util/MiniText — custom MiniMessage→§ parser, fully Bukkit-free and unit-tested:
  • Named colour tags: <aqua>, <gold>, <dark_gray>, … (all 16 Minecraft colours)
  • Format tags: <bold>, <italic>, <underlined>, <strikethrough>, <obfuscated>
  • <reset> / any </closing-tag> → §r
  • Gradient: <gradient:stop1:stop2[:stop3…]>text</gradient> — multi-stop linear interpolation, emits Spigot 1.16+ hex §x§R§R§G§G§B§B per character; skips embedded §-codes when stepping
  • Backward-compatible with legacy &x codes (existing lang values continue to work unchanged)
• Spigot shims in util/Items:
  • ItemStack.modifyMeta {} / ItemStack.modifyMeta<T>(class) {}
  • Location.toCenterLocation()
  • World.getNearbyPlayers(location, radius)

Changed

• util/Messages: replaced MiniMessage.miniMessage().deserialize() with MiniText.parse(); action bar uses BungeeCord TextComponent instead of Component
• lang_zh.yml / lang_en.yml: all &x legacy codes converted to MiniMessage tag syntax; format comment updated to reflect the custom parser
• docs/FEATURES.md / docs/FEATURES.zh-TW.md: version header updated to v1.0.0-BETA
