If you like this plugin or my others, please donate as it is greatly appreciated and shows huge support.

Nothing major, just corrects the configuration reload message.

Fixed:

• Last version removed death drops in all worlds. This fixes that and only removes in the enabled world!

New features:

• Can now choose which world the plugin is enabled in. (not fully tested, please comment if this doesn't work as expected)
• Can now add lore to the items
• No longer drops items upon death
• updated to 1.8.7

Notice:
This version may contain bugs or might not work as intended. Majority of the features/plugin work as I tested it but I broke the code a while back then gave up on my plugins all-together but came back recently and rewrote this.

New features:

• Can now enable/disable the messages that are sent in chat upon using the speed item.. Thanks to @zLemonProz for suggesting this!

The config layout for the messages was changed a little;

New features:

• Can now specify whether the speed boost is enabled by default when a player joins. If true, the player will spawn with the speed boost at the level in the config as well as automatically spawning with the item to disable the speed buff instead of the item to enable it. Thanks to @Rocky143 for suggesting this!

Just a minor code cleanup and changed /lobbyspeed to display plugin info and other commands such as /lobbyspeed reload.

New features:

• Added a reload command to easily reload the config without reloading/restarting your server.
• Changed the default items glowstone_dust to sulphur and the default sound for disable to anvil_land.

Command: /lobbyspeed reload | /ls reload
Permission: lobbyspeed.reload

New features:

• You can now customize the messages displayed in chat when enabling/disabling the speed boost. Thanks to @Elijah for suggesting this.
• You can now specify in the config what items to use for the enable/disable items.
• You can now specify what sounds play when enabling/disabling the speed boost.
• The plugin now completely blocks Moving inventory items and dropping items if they're in survival or adventure mode. This allows players in creative to bypass the events being cancelled. (Another good hub feature) Thanks to @Elijah for suggesting this.

New features:

• Can now specify custom names for both sugar and glowstone dust in the config.
• Can now specify, in the config, what slot sugar will be placed in upon join.
• Sugar is now automatically given to player upon joining/re-logging. It will also be given the name you specified for sugar in the config. if a player leaves with glowstone dust in their inventory, they will rejoin with sugar and their speed buff disabled.
• Can now specify what level of speed effect to allocate the player when enabling the buff.
