🧠 Core Concepts

Randomizer Pro works on a simple but powerful player-centric system. Understanding this will help you configure it perfectly.

Player-Specific Cooldowns

Unlike simple timers that give items to everyone at once, Randomizer Pro manages a separate, personal cooldown for every single player.

1. Player Joins: When a player connects, their personal reward timer starts.

2. Cooldown Check: The plugin constantly checks if a player's personal cooldown has expired.

3. Permission Check: The length of the cooldown is determined by the player's permissions. If they have a VIP permission (e.g., randomizer.vip1), they get a shorter cooldown defined in your config. If they have no special permissions, they get the default cooldown.

4. Reward: Once their timer is up, the plugin gives them random items from your configured list and immediately resets their personal cooldown.

This system ensures that rewards are distributed fairly over time and that your VIPs always get the benefits they deserve, no matter when they log in.
