Что нового
## Fixed
* Fixed max online calculation: fake/random online no longer affects the maximum player count.
* justXMore now calculates max based on real online players instead of fake online.
* Fake online is limited by the calculated max, so the server status no longer shows online higher than max.

Что нового
## Changed
* Removed the public `animation/motdFrames` logic from the config and schema.
* Old `motdFrames` are kept as legacy and now load as separate presets.
## Fixed
* Fixed `fakePlayers.random`: it now actually randomizes correctly and properly handles ranges.
* Fixed colors in `hoverLines`: strings are now parsed as MiniMessage/legacy format and sent to hover with colors preserved.
* Fixed sticky-state synchronization so old IP records no longer break the limit logic.
