Main Features
Automatic ID Assignment When a player joins the server for the first time, the plugin automatically assigns them a unique, incrementing ID. The process is fully automatic and does not require any administrator intervention.
Welcome Message When a player joins the server, the plugin sends them a welcome message displaying their assigned ID. The content of this message can be customized in the configuration file.
Persistent Storage All player IDs are saved to a file. Even after a server restart, players will retain their assigned IDs.
