This update is a hotfix version for 1.8.8 servers. You do not have to update to this version if your server is 1.9 or newer.

This hotfix resolves compatibility issues with ViaVersion 5.0.2+ and its Legacy BossBar API, which is used to display colored, segmented, and more reliable BossBars for 1.9+ clients on 1.8.8 servers. An undocumented change in the API’s implementation caused our functionality to break, necessitating a few adjustments. To address potential future API changes that may go unnoticed, a new configuration option, bossbar.allow-via-hooks, has been added. When set to false, this option disables the hook, causing the plugin to treat 1.9+ players the same as 1.8.8 players.
