⚔ LevelledMobs v3.7 ⚔
Thank you to PenalBuffalo (@stumper66) for developing LevelledMobs v3 (including this update!). [donate]
Today, we bring you LevelledMobs v3.7!
This update adds some major features to LevelledMobs which have been long-requested - PenalBuffalo has delivered! Namely, mob nametags are now translated per-client, and death messages are translated per-client! These features were tedious to implement; we hope our non-English-speaking users enjoy these features. 
Note that this update requires Java 17 or newer, which only affects our 1.16 and 1.17 users. If you are running either version, please update your outdated server software to 1.19 or, at the very least, 1.18. You're missing out on a lot of great changes from your server software.
We wish to thank LevelledMobs users for (just about) propelling the project to the 100,000 downloads milestone. Although this number is quite meaningless, it is great to see how far we have come.
More importantly, I wish to thank all of you who have provided feedback in our reviews section, as not only have we been compiling your ideas to improve the plugin (both for LM3 and LM4), LevelledMobs is positioned third on the highest rated plugins list on the platform, competing with expensive premium resources and all of the sorts. We're grateful that our users are happy with our free and open-source software and support.
Changelog:

Improvements
- Compiled with Java 17; Java 17 or newer is required to run this version. (PenalBuffalo)
- Changed PlayerDeathEvent listener to normal priority from monitor for better 3rd party plugin compatibility. (PenalBuffalo)
- Updates to rules.yml: Changed Player Levelling, Level Variance, Blended Levelling, and Weighted Random descriptions and names to better separate the systems from the true levelling strategies, as well as significantly reduce the amount of lines taken up by the weighted_random system in presets by forming new system of true/false rather than the tiers to enable function (low levels more likely, high levels least likely, over the spread of the min and max level available to the entity. (UltimaOath)

Fixes
- fixed hoglins falling under all_passive_mobs group (#407) (PenalBuffalo)
