This update mostly contains MySQL improvements.

• Shortened MySQL console messages.
• Won't connect when no players are online to avoid useless connections.
• Better handling of lost connections.
• Implemented a cache system to reduce the number of MySQL queries. Stats are synced around every 5 seconds now.

Fixed 1.20.4 Support (InventoryClickEvent error)

New Spectator Mode: "Persistent"
This new spectator mode for example allows for admins to more easily monitor games by staying spectators over games, or by automatically joining as a spectator. it also allows any player to simply stay a spectator instead of each time having to leave and rejoin the game.

First, this is in BETA so please enable it cautiously. It has been tested extensively but this still remains far from operational tests. Please report any issues to the Discord server, this will be of great help.

You can enable the mode in the config file:

Code (YAML):

Persistent-Spectator-Mode : false

Using it

When enabled, players have a new command:

Code (YAML):

/tw spec

that allows them to:

• join the game as a persistent spectator if they are not in game.
• set themselves as a persistent spectator if they are in the lobby or already in-game/spectating.
• If already spectating, they will therefore become persistent spectators and not automatically join the game after it ends.

If already a persistent spectator, performing the command will make the player become a "normal" (temporary) spectator or join the lobby, depending on the game state.

The permission for the command is

Code (YAML):

turfwars.command.spec

Automatic Persistent Spectating
If you want some admins to be persistent spectators by default when joining the game or server, you can add the following permission to them:
They will automatically be added as persistent spectators when joining the game/server, and can still use /tw spec command to become a player.

Added & tested 1.21 Support

Added 1.20.6 Support. Note it requires Java 21!

Fixed support for 1.20.4: Textured skulls need to be set in an alternative way since 1.18 that avoids using NMS and reflection. This method does not work for pre-1.18, so I kept reflection. However, 1.20.4 does not support this method anymore, or shows warnings so this update uses a different method depending on the Minecraft version.

Please report issues on the Discord server.

• Fixed compatibility issues with the color of the wool given to players.
• Added a new feature which allows to disable "trade kills", where a player kills the player who killed them shortly later. In other words, when this is set to false, if a player dies after shooting an arrow which has not yet landed, this arrow will get removed instantly, preventing kills or block damage after being killed.

This feature can be found as "trade-kills" in the "Game" section of the config:

Minor update:

• Adds new placeholders:
  • %turfwars_players% (current in-game players)
  • %turfwars_maxplayers% (max nb of players)
    
  • %turfwars_minplayers% (min nb of players)

As a reminder, placeholders use PlaceholderAPI.

• Fixed arrows block hit not being registered correctly on 1.19

Please report 1.19 issues on Discord.

Added support for 1.17.1 (NOT 1.17!)

Added Support for 1.16.4

New features:

• Added optional custom /tw leave location. Off by default. Available in the game section of the config. Instead of teleporting back to where the player was, it will teleport them to the location specified in the config.
• Added optional alternative restart system support. Off by default. You can specify another restart command to use instead of calling spigot's restart system. In the restart system section of the config.

Team Queue Option (On by default)
2.3.2 features a new team queue system for the lobby.

Suppose there are 4 players waiting for the game to start, and 2 are on each team.
If 1 of each team wanted to swap for the other team, they couldn't do it before. Now they can, if you want to change team, but it's not possible yet. You can just try to join and it will put you in a queue. Once a player from the other team joins your team's queue, you will be both swapped.

This option is on by default and allows more dynamic and more functional team distribution.

If you want to turn it off, head over to Game > team-joining >
switching-teams-queue in config.yml and turn it to false.

No Team Balance Option (off by default)

This feature was requested to stop limitations and letting players join teams freely. if the queue system is still not enough, you can use this.

Once toggled on, players can choose a team even if it unbalances teams.
However, note that the game won't start if one of the teams is empty!

If you want to use this option, head over to Game > team-joining >
balance-check in config.yml and turn it to false.

Scoreboard is now completely customizable.
You can find the new configs with the placeholders in Messages.yml!
Max 16 lines, and max 32 characters per line. (it will cut if it's too long)

This update focuses on block placement optimizations.
It should now produce less lag on large servers

• BungeeCord and Waterfall fixed.
• Added placeholderAPI support:

%turfwars_money%
%turfwars_wins%
%turfwars_losses%
%turfwars_games%
%turfwars_kills%
%turfwars_kit%
%turfwars_team%

Added support for both 1.13 and 1.13.1

• Added message for this option.

Fix for asynchronous entity add

This should fix not working NPCs

Fix Spigot please
Fixed support for PlayerPoints

Fixed:

• Players don't get rewards when sent to lobby on end of game.

New command:

Soon will come more kit customization, it has been requested but I'm still waiting for more informations about how it'd be, so that's why it's not in this update!
