• Fully configurable messages, databases (words/sentences/trivia) and answer verification options (case sensitivity, trimming, missing‑only, etc.). ()
• Rewards/actions system: run commands, give items/commands, play sounds, particles and other actions on win/timeout. ()
• PlaceholderAPI support (optional integration). ()
• Visual/formatting customization for chat messages and leaderboards. ()
