-## VelocityBroadcast Reborn
+## VelocityBroadcast Reborn  
 The new and improved version of my old popular plugin called "Velocity Broadcast". The best known and lightweight broadcasting plugin for any network to use.  
   
-# Introduction
+# Introduction  
-Welcome to the GitHub repo and source code for the plugin VelocityBroadcast Reborn. This is a complete rewrite of my previous VelocityBroadcast plugin. I reworked and rebuilt the plugin from scratch. Due to the fact a ton of promised features sadly did not work out correctly. The biggest complaint being permissions. Well, I did it. I was able to fix a few old grievances and even add some new features. So without further ado, the information regarding VelocityBroadcast Reborn!

-VelocityBroadcast Reborn is a unique and lightweight plugin that allows people with specific permission nodes/groups with permission nodes assigned to LuckPerms for Velocity to broadcast a message across the entire network. This is useful for events, maintenance announcements, and more. I do plan to add more features one day, but for now this is what we have. Light, simple, and easy to use. Please use the Issue Tracker above to report any issues or feedback about the plugin.
