• The force start item no longer breaks if "forcestart-time" is set to 0 or less

Miscellaneous:

• Added auto-wrapping for upgrade shop item descriptions

API addition:

This update fixes some serious bugs:

• Fixed InvalidDescriptionException on start when there were addons
  
• Fixed that the File IO threads would lock and bring the server into a soft lock state when doing a /bw reload in a running match

While this a short one, it is likely something that most are looking for: We now natively support 1.19.4!

With this update, we also finally made the move of using the Mojang mappings, instead of the legacy Spigot ones. This basically means that we have to spend less time "finding" certain NMS features, with the effect of providing a slight performance to do improvements of certain integrations and reduces the chances of bugs to occur. Equal changes have been made to the 1.19.3 support, however, improvements likely aren't noticeable as it was already running perfectly fine.


This is a special one, that you likely have never seen with any other plugin. It is now possibly to easily set up the plugin by visiting a website!
This works by generating a unique and secure link for your server whenever you are installing the plugin for the first time. There are instructions that help you with each step to make the whole process as easy and quick as possible.
We are certain that the old conventional way was already pretty easy, however the reasons for the development of this feature were to present you with the most important configurations, as it can be overwhelming for newcomers.

It is now also possible to easily install a complete layout of the plugin! With this, you may now choose between the MBedwars Vanilla layout, which we had before by default, and one that is called "HyPixel". Before, you'd have to install the according zip, extract the files and install the required dependencies. The plugin is now taking over the whole process.
The ability of simply skipping the whole process (aka the conventional way) has been kept. You will be asked whether you want to use the setup wizard or not.


The performance of the plugin was already perfect before this update. However, there were some parts of the plugin that we have found and improved.

One being better multi-threading. A thread, in a nutshell, is a process that runs certain algorithms in a specific orders. With multiple threads, you are basically able to have multiple things running concurrently, without one thread greatly affecting the others' performance. The server's tick logic has its own thread, and doing too many things in that one may have effects on the TPS, hence proper utilization of threads is key for a lagless experience.

MBedwars was already perfectly utilizing these abilities beforehand, however we improved certain algorithms so that it utilizes them now better by effectively needing less of them. We also found solutions for certain processes to not run on the server thread, which was kept earlier for stability reasons. This change basically means that you will experience less minor hiccups, especially when a match had ended.

Some algorithms have also been rewritten to be more efficient.


In the past, we had greatly made use of the .cm2 file format. The reason for this was that this file format has a certain syntax that is way more user-friendly and way less prone to accidental problems that potentially could have further consequences.

However, after people have been asking us, we have decided to move to the YAML format (.yml). Commonly because, as most are already used to it. We also used this opportunity to restructure certain internal parts of the plugin to firstly make the inclusion of further features more easy, and secondly include further warnings that should greatly enhance the user experience, as it is now easier to debug and fix certain problems for the user as the plugin will tell you exactly what you have been doing wrong.

The plugin will automatically convert the files. You don't have to worry about that at all.


MongoDB is a NoSQL-DBMS that technically works completely different from the conventional SQL databases, like MySQL. I used to kept saying to people that our SQL implementation was already extremely efficient, as we went the path of implementing certain unique SQL features and algorithms that are not being used by other (Bedwars) plugins, hence MBedwars commonly outperforming them. However, people have been requesting it, and I am happy to tell you all that we finally support it as well

We still recommend to users to not use MongoDB if you have never worked with it, as it works greatly different from e.g. MySQL. Some time must be invested to just install the MongoDB software itself, as most hosting providers usually only provide MySQL or MariaDB. If you, however, want to use it anyway, you may simply make use of the new configurations in the config.yml file. Configuring is as easy as it is with SQL.

Some improvements were made to the code of the internal storage systems. These changes provide further stability, extensibility and also have the side effect that we restructured the configurations to be more understandable.

These changes also made it possible for us to implement a /bw tools migrate command for further storage types, such as MongoDB. What this means is that you may always switch from local, SQL or MongoDB back and forth without having to care about data-loss, as MBedwars is keeping care of that.


The SetupGUI is a feature that makes it possibly for users to easily create, set up and modify arenas.
In the past, certain important features didn't exist, specifically ones that aren't directly related to arenas, such as being able to spawn villagers (dealers and upgrade dealers), to identify which arenas are at your current position and to be able to easily specific the WorldEdit corners directly within the GUI.
We replaced the old arena deletion place with misc tools. It is still possible to delete arenas, you just have go to the arenas list first. I'd guess that most have already been doing it that way and barely anyone actually used the arena deletion page.

It is once again time, and we have prepared something prodigious for all of you! I, however, should not put all the honoring on myself. Rather, I am the more impressed with the result @MetallicGoat was able to show off with this update! The rather basic upgrade system has been COMPLETELY rewritten and now features a BUNCH of new exaggerating possibilities, such as the inclusion of completely redesigned layouts and the addition of NormalV2 and HyPixelV2. Furthermore, the configurations file of it is now a lot less complicated as it has been restructured and now also uses YAML as it is format. We also added new upgrades, including a bunch of traps. And as last, we also added a bunch of API classes and methods, allowing the crazy devs to expend the feature-set to even another uncountable level. This is not even it, tons of things have been added, changed, and improved, including the over whole performance and user-friendliness of the plugin. As always, we'd greatly appreciate a donation: https://paypal.me/Marcel1199 The donations are of course being shared If that's not an option, and you'd still like to show us your appreciation, we'd be super happy to see feedback in form of a review!

NOTE: Due to massive changes to the upgrades system and the addition of new upgrades, we recommend you to delete the upgrades.yml file to generate a new file with the default files. The old file is generally being migrated automatically, so the plugin will continue working without it. The suggested process is only recommended in case you want to make use of the new features.

I have forgotten to announce it the last time, but we also released the Cosmetics & Coins add-on recently! With it, you are able to add premium EULA-friendly and purchasable cosmetics to your server. Not only are you able to increase the economics of your server, but you are also able to increase the play time at the same time, hence the player being able to earn their coins by playing. You may also surely hook into your existing economy plugin as the plugin is fully customizable. Read more


We also released a new update for ProxySync. Visit our Discord to learn more.


NOTE BEFORE UPGRADING: New issues, that may prevent your arena from starting, have been added. The plugin used to warn you about them beforehand, but you were still able to start the arena nonetheless, likely causing things to break. Due to reports of people ignoring these warnings, we have added the possible issues that may forcefully prevent your existing arenas from starting. Only few people should be affected from this, but you should still check whether some arenas stopped or not.

Config changes:

• Revamped sounds config: It now uses YML and now also allows you to edit: "is-active", "is-custom-resourcepack", "volume" and "pitch" (instead of previously the one "fast" config. Old config file is automatically being converted

This update is (once again ) super massive. We'd greatly appreciate a donation, as all our updates are completely free, even though we are spending so much man power and time with each. This is surely not a requirement, you may also simply download and enjoy it without any further thoughts . If you don't have the financial possibilities but still would like to express us your enjoyment, then we'd greatly appreciate a review as well ❤

Added features:

• Added auto cloning
  • With this, you are now able to scale this plugin to any size, literally. Automatically. And the best thing? It's super easy to configure. Simply toggle a single config (auto-cloning-enabled), and you are ready to go. With that, the plugin is automatically cloning your existing arenas to an infinite amount. Afraid that your server gets filled quickly? Then you might want to use our ProxySync addon and offload all players to separate servers.
• For arena pickers:
  • Add support for < > <= and >= for strings in arena pickers. Used for checking whether it starts or ends with something

General Notice
This update has changed a lot. Like a lot a lot. This includes:

• most of the commands (new ones: https://wiki.mbedwars.com/en/Commands)
• most of the permissions (new ones: https://wiki.mbedwars.com/en/permissions)
• some config files
• quite a few line changes in the messages file
• hubvillager, "/bw arenasgui" and "/bw runninggames" got replaced by the new "ArenasGUI" system
• new API
• general behaviour

As you can imagine, it's possible that things might not work as they did before updating it. You don't have to reset everything, don't worry. We have spent a good amount of time in creating migration systems for everything, so it's even possible that you don't even have to do anything. But keep in mind that it's not possible to go back to v4 after upgrading to v5. You likely want to create a backup before moving over, in case something wrong. It's also possible that the new file formats are not as stable, even tho they have been tested a lot. So you possibly want to regularly create a backup. And please please report us bugs that you find in our Discord.



Change Log
Some of you might not know what an API is, but this is actually a huge deal for everyone. An API is basically a way for developers to interact with the internals of the plugin. By this they're for instance able to create new special items, add-ons and do more funky stuff. With the
abandonment of the previous API, it was time for something new. And oh boy, there's something new. The new API had one rule: Allow the most accessibility and customizability possible. And I for safe can say, that this is the greatest API for a Bedwars plugin the world has ever seen.

If you're a developer, then you might find the following links useful:
JavaDocs: https://javadocs.mbedwars.com/
Instructions on working with it: https://wiki.mbedwars.com/en/Development/Getting-Started

If you're a consumer, then you likely will find this useful:
A place where you can find all existing extensions: https://mbedwars.com/shop/


While the old wiki ( https://mbedwars.marcely.de) is likely very handy, it unfortunately aged badly. It looks awful and wasn't really handy to follow. The new one shall fix that: https://wiki.mbedwars.com/
We've spent lots of time in creating easy-to-understand articles for everyone. While it's not full done yet and not everything has been moved over, we're still working on it and are trying to add as much info as possible.
Furthermore, I'm happy to announce our new official website: https://mbedwars.com
It's for your first place for anything related to this plugin. You can find info on how to contact us, find all existing™ add-ons, templates and general extensions. Additionally, you're finally able to purchase the product with other methods other than just PayPal. You may use KLARNA Sofort, GiroPay, Apple Pay, PaySafe and even Cryptocurrency.


The plugin was already perfect regarding those things, but we took it another step further. People asked for YAML instead of CM2, there we go. We added it for quite a few files. While at it, we improved the general understanding and the feature set of some of them.
Did you notice lag while running this plugin? Neither did we! But now you'll be feeling less. We've spent lots of time in rewriting quite a few internal algorithms with the goal of improving their efficiency and stability. This includes the GUI system, the commands, Messages, Schedulers and much more.
The regeneration/preperation system of arenas has also received lots of love. While it's even quicker now, we additionally added optional support for SlimeWorldManager as some of you were asking for that. Instead of printing an error, the plugin is just going to automatically adapt itself on that!


Do you remember the old way of creating an arena via a GUI aka "ArenasGUI"? That's gone now with something new called "Setup GUI". It not only goes in hand with the new API update (devs are able to extend it), it now allows you to do way more things than you were before. With lots of descriptive text it should now be super easy for beginners to get into this plugin.

Waait... I thought ArenasGUI is gone? Well, not exactly. There were two "ArenasGUI" system in the v4 version. One accessed via "/bw arenasgui" and the other one via "/bw arena gui". Yes, confused. We know. That's why we replaced "/bw arenasgui" with "/bw setupgui" and additionally updated "/bw arenas gui".
Arenas GUIs are basically module and customizable guis you use for displaying all arenas you can join in. People are now able to create their now layouts. They're located inside "/MBedwars/arenasgui-layouts" and you can simply copy&paste an existing one and change whatever you want. By default, the plugins comes with four layouts.

This slowly gets exhausting to write, lol.
More changes include:

• It's now possible to spawn player heads for rankings (similar to stats rankings)
• Revamped command system with being more logical to use
• A new migration system to move from other plugins or systems (currently only Bedwars1058, more is planned)
• Lots of config changes
• Lots of further changes to the plugin

Are you interested to see what exactly has changed in the last versions?

You may have noticed that there weren't any public update on neither Spigot nor MC-Market since almost 6 months. There are two reasons for that:

1. The version on those platforms (aka v4) is already pretty stable
2. We've been working on a HUGE update since over a year (aka v5)

We've been gradually testing all changes with the betas that are regularly being released in our Discord. Every buyer is allowed to test it and report and bugs he found. Additionally, we took the opportunity to make larger changes that we couldn't do otherwise.

In a nutshell:

• 1.17 support
• Java 11+ support
• A new and more user friendly GUI system for managing and creating arenas (aka setup GUI)
• A massive API (https://javadocs.mbedwars.com/)
• Greatly improved performance (keep in mind that the current one is already fascinating!)
  
• Tons of systems have been rewritten and massively improved
• New setup GUI (used to be called simply "arenasgui" in v4)
• New modular arenas GUI for creating GUIs to access your arenas
• A start to move more config files from .cm2 to the more preferred .yml format
• Further improvements to the regeneration system
• It's now possible to spawn player heads for rankings (similar to stats rankings)
• Revamped command system with being more logical to use
• Renamed & combined permissions
• A new migration system to move from other plugins or systems (currently only Bedwars1058, more is planned)

Keep in mind that you are already able to access it! Simply visit our Discord and follow the instructions there. The plugin will automatically convert everything from v4 to v5. All you have to do is to replace the plugin's jar. Keep in mind that you won't be able to go back to v4, so you might want to create backups beforehand.
The final release is very soon and planned to be in less than a month. We're open to every suggestion and try to fix as many bugs as possible!

Smart Item Sharing is a Marcely's Bedwars only system which gives the dropped item from the itemspawner to a random next standing player. This fixes a rather annoying issue which currently too many servers have.


We've completly redesigned our current stats system! While it's now not only a lot faster than it was before, it's also super modular as well. This means that it'll be super easy for the devs to add custom stats without having to deal with adding support for SQL etc. The plugin will handle that itself - while still having a better performance than probably most of the other bedwars plugins out there. But keep in mind that all stats entries need to be converted to the new system. Luckily the plugin will automatically do that for you when starting it, but a backup before the launch is still highly recommended. Plus it broke the current stats API, which will get replaced by the new API in 4.1 anyways.
