Summary

Rewords player-facing gameplay messages that broke immersion with server terms (permissions, access, containers, entities, chunks, plugin names) so they read in character. Staff and admin commands, usage help and setup errors keep their plain wording. Wording only: no permission checks or message routing change.

Before and after

Colour codes are omitted; the code keeps them.

Before After
You do not have permission to use /resonance. You feel no resonance within you.
You do not have permission to rebind runes. You are not skilled enough to rebind runes.
That station is no longer valid. That station is no longer there.
Only the player who prepared this craft can take it apart. Only the one who prepared this craft can take it apart.

Live config

Deployed servers keep their own copy of this file, so Dev and Main need a matching edit when this ships: messages.yml: open.no_permission, rune.no_permission, gear.station.gone and gear.abort.not_yours.

Testing

mvn -o verify passes: 443 tests, 0 failures.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Replace out-of-character wording in gameplay messages (permissions,
containers, entities, chunks, plugin tags) with in-world phrasing.
Staff commands, usage help and setup errors keep their plain wording.

Review comments at @src/main/resources/messages.yml:
- Line 17: Update the no_permission message used by ResonanceCommand to state
that the sender lacks permission to use /resonance, rather than claiming they
have no resonance.
- Line 31: Update the no_permission message so it describes lacking permission
to rebind runes, rather than implying a skill check; keep it consistent with the
magic.rune.keybind permission checked by hasRuneKeybind.
