Welcome back after 5 months! It's wonderful to see you again . It's time for yet another v2.0 update. During the last few months, I was too busy to work on PlayerServers, so users had to relay on the stability of v1.2.1, which was exceptionally good. v2.0 - Alpha1 is focused on making v2.0 stable, faster, packs more features from GitLab, now requires Java 16 support and supports Minecraft 1.17+! Let's see what's new:

• From now, the minimum Java version for BungeeCord PlayerServers is Java 16. Per vote on our Discord server, most of our users agreed.
• PlayerServers is now optimized to use nearly every Java 16 feature from var up to text blocks, class records, new switch block & more...
• Introducing new features from GitLab:
  • #52 - custom server name format (experimental)
  • #57 - custom mysql flags / launch options
  • maybe more I can't remember
• An option to enable / disable experimental panel: experimental-panel
• PlayerServerCore support for 1.17.1
• General performance and stability improvements

In the addition to this, PlayerServers will now be updated regularly as before, about once a week until 2.0 is released.

After 2.0 is released, there'll be an update schedule with 2 updates a year (similar to that you got used to with Windows). We'll also introduce PlayerServers Enterprise as a paid addition. Due to strict SpigotMC rules, I'd recommend asking more about it on our Discord server.
